“We’re stronger when we are together” Tsai in joint remarks with McCarthy

 Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen gathered with US House Speaker Kevin  McCarthy and a bipartisan group of US lawmakers at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California’s Simi Valley a highly anticipated event that marked a show of democratic solidarity in defiance of threats from China. The landmark meeting is the second time Tsai has met with an American lawmaker of that rank in the space of a year, following a visit from then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan in August. Tsai is also the first president of Taiwan to meet with a US House speaker on American soil.
