Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, will visit Asia from July 29, but whether she will come to Taiwan has not been fully decided, US media said on 28, citing sources familiar with the matter.

According to NBC News, two sources said that Pelosi will lead an official congressional delegation to Asia on Friday local time, but it is unclear whether the visit will include a stop in Taiwan.

Sources SAID THE TEAM HAD LISTED A VISIT TO Taiwan AS “TENTATIVE”, WHILE MS PELOSI’S Asian Allies ON THE TRIP INCLUDE Japan, South Korea, Malaysia AND Singapore.

The news that Pelosi and her delegation will leave on Tuesday was first reported by Bloomberg News, just before the August recess of the U.S. Congress.

Separately, Democratic Rep. Rick Larsen claimed that Chinese officials were pressuring him to block the visit, with officials from the Chinese embassy calling to ask him to persuade Ms. Pelosi to cancel the trip, though he said it would be a serious miscalculation for China to try to pressure members of Congress to travel anywhere.

A spokesman FOR Ms. Pelosi declined to comment on her travel plans, and Ms. Pelosi and her aides have repeatedly declined to confirm the trip, citing security concerns. The White House has not taken a public position on Ms. Pelosi’s visit, but defense officials are said to be widely concerned that it could inflame U.S. -China relations and tensions with China. But cross-PARTY members of CONGRESS HAVE largely encouraged PELOSI NOT to avoid THE TRIP because OF Beijing’S threats, which WOULD BE seen as caving in to Beijing’s pressure.
