House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) reported planned visit to Taiwan was a welcome development that would help communicate to Beijing that the United States stands with the self-ruled island and any military aggression against the territory will be unacceptable, according to Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.)

Pelosi’s plans to visit Taiwan this weekend were the subject of unconfirmed reports by Japanese media before the trip’s postponement due to the speaker’s having tested positive for COVID-19.
