Republicans Come Out in Support of Pelosi as She Invites Lawmakers to Join Her in Taiwan, U.S. Military Prepares for Her Trip

A growing number of Republican China hawks have come out in support of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s plans to visit Taiwan next month as the Biden administration is concerned the trip could spark a crisis across the Taiwan Strait.

Republicans that have expressed support for Pelosi’s plans include Senators Ben Sasse (NE), Tom Cotton (AR), and John Cornyn (TX). “Speaker Pelosi should go to Taiwan and President Biden should make it abundantly clear to Chairman Xi that there’s not a damn thing the Chinese Communist Party can do about it,” Sasse said on Monday (July 25).

Cotton said on Tuesday (July 26) that Pelosi should “go forward” with her trip and that President Biden shouldn’t stop her.

Meanwhile, Pelosi has invited other members of Congress to join her in a visit to Taiwan next month, signaling that she still plans to make the trip despite the fact that the US military thinks it risks provoking China.
