President Joe Biden expressed that either he or the military may be opposed to a reported trip by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan, the self-ruled island that Beijing views as its own.

“Well, I think that—the military thinks it’s not a good idea right now, but I don’t know what the status of it is,” Biden said of the trip after arriving at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on July 20.
