TL;DR Summary
Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen has departed for a 10-day diplomatic mission to Central America, including stopovers in New York City and Los Angeles.

The visit comes at a sensitive time in already strained US-China relations, and as Taiwan seeks to shore up its diplomatic partnerships, which have dwindled in number in recent years.
