Two United States Navy warships have entered the Taiwan Strait in what is the first US naval transit in the waterway since US-China tensions spiked this month over a visit to the island by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The guided-missile cruisers USS Antietam and USS Chancellorsville were on Sunday making the voyage "through waters where high seas freedoms of navigation and overflight apply in accordance with international law," the US 7th Fleet in Japan said in a statement. It said the transit was "ongoing" and that there had been "no interference from foreign military forces so far." U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Gregory N.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi meets with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen on Wednesday August 3, 2022, marking a significant show of support for Taiwan despite China's threats of retaliation over the visit. During the meeting with the president of the self-ruled island, Tsai presented Pelosi with a medal. Pelosi's stop in Taipei became the highest-ranking American official in 25 years to visit the self-ruled island claimed by China. Her trip comes at a low point in U.S.-China relations and despite warnings from Beijing, threatening the Chinese military never sit idly by if she made the trip.
