TAIPEI—Three U.S. senators will visit Taiwan on Sunday and will meet President Tsai Ing-wen to discuss security and other issues, Taiwan’s government and the de facto U.S. embassy in Taipei said on Saturday, a trip that will likely irritate the Chinese regime in Beijing.
The United States, like most countries, maintains unofficial diplomatic ties with the self-ruled island, which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) wants to unite with the mainland under its communist rule. The United States remains the democratic island’s most important international backer and supplier of arms for its defense.
