Does Kelly Craft need a fighter escort for Taiwan visit? Print this article
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft will visit Taiwan from Wednesday to Friday. An important question follows: Will Craft s plane get a fighter escort?
China will be very upset about this visit. Previous high-level U.S. visits over the past 12 months have precipitated Chinese threats to overfly Taiwan with fighter jets, so it makes sense that we consider how Beijing might react to this trip. While Craft won t be the highest ranking Trump administration official to visit Taiwan (assuming Secretary of State Mike Pompeo doesn t decide to join her at the last minute), she will almost certainly be the final official visitor before the Biden administration takes office.
