LOS ANGELES—House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has called on Congress to hasten the supply and delivery of military weapons to Taiwan amid rising tensions between the self-governed democracy and China’s communist regime.
McCarthy (R-Calif.) urged the United States and its allies to take a stand against China’s aggression with a clear and consistent unified message that promotes peace and protects democracy, after meeting with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen in California on April 5.
