WASHINGTON—A bipartisan group of U.S. House lawmakers welcomed Taiwan’s parliamentary speaker on June 24, expressing support for the self-governing island as it faces increasing pressure and military threats from China.
Han Kuo-yu, president of Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan and a member of the opposition Kuomintang, arrived in the United States on the evening of June 21 with a cross-party delegation of eight Taiwanese legislators. The group first visited Phoenix before arriving in the nation’s capital on the night of June 23.
