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.
