TAIPEI, Taiwan — A U.S. congressional delegation led by Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., landed in Taiwan Sunday for a two-day visit, a trip that risks keeping tensions with China high after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi went earlier this month.
The delegation will meet Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, Minister of Foreign Affairs Joseph Wu and local lawmakers, according to a foreign ministry statement.
They will discuss bilateral relations, regional security, trade and investment, global supply chains, climate change and other significant issues of mutual interest, according to the American Institute in Taiwan, the de-facto U.S. embassy.
