House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is set to meet Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in the U.S. instead of her home island, which China considers to be a breakaway province, according to a new report.
Mr. McCarthy, California Republican, has said he wants to visit Taiwan to show support for the democratic island, akin to the trip former Speaker Nancy Pelosi took last August in defiance of Beijing.
The report says Ms. Tsai is scheduled to speak at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Southern California. The decision to meet on U.S. soil is due to strained relationships between the U.S. and China and between Taipei and Beijing.
