U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft will travel to Taiwan in a high-profile celebration of the island’s autonomy from the mainland Chinese Communist Party following the regime’s crackdown in Hong Kong.
“The United States supports the Hong Kong people and all who yearn for freedom,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced early Thursday. “In that vein, I am pleased to announce the upcoming visit of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft to Taiwan, a reliable partner and vibrant democracy that has flourished despite CCP efforts to undermine its great success.”
