Pelosi Heads for Singapore, But Is Silent on Taiwan

“Speaker Nancy Pelosi was expected to appear in Singapore on Monday as part of a closely watched tour of Asia that has stoked fears, including at the highest levels of the American government, of dangerously heightened tensions with China over the possibility that she would make a stop in Taiwan,” the New York Times reports.

Associated Press: “The Biden administration didn’t explicitly urge Pelosi to avoid Taiwan but tried to assure Beijing there was no reason to ‘come to blows’ and that if such a visit occurred, it would signal no change in U.S. policy.”
