TAIPEI (Bloomberg): US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is scheduled to visit Taiwan, according to media reports, a landmark display of American support that’s likely to trigger further protests from Beijing.
Pelosi will arrive in Taipei on Sunday following a visit to Japan, according to reports Thursday (April 7) in both Taiwan and Japan, including by Fuji News Network, which cited people it did not identify. It would be the first visit by a serving US house speaker since Newt Gingrich traveled to Taiwan in 1997.
