Taiwan's President to Visit US Amidst Tensions with China.
TL;DR Summary
Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen will transit the US en route to Central America at the end of March, but it is unclear whether she will meet with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Any meeting between the two is likely to anger China, which claims Taiwan as its own territory. Taiwan has few official diplomatic allies, and Guatemala and Belize are among them. The visit comes as Taiwan and the US increase efforts to counter China's military capabilities, and as former Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou visits mainland China.
