US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to visit Taiwan as part of her tour of Asia, according to a senior Taiwanese government official and a US official, despite warnings from Biden administration officials, who are worried about China's response to such a high-profile visit.

Do they know that the President can prevent her from going? Yes, the State Department has control over that. Trump did it to Pelosi and House dems once. Remember when he cancelled their plane while they were still on the bus to go to the plane and they had to turn around.

This makes zero sense.

They act like Biden officials are helpless to prevent her from going.

The US official added that Defense Department officials are working around the clock on monitoring any Chinese movements in the region and securing a plan to keep her safe.

Classified movement for Pelosi. Check.

President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping discussed it at length in a two-hour-and-17-minute phone call on Thursday, as tensions mounted between Washington and Beijing.

There's that number.

A President can tell a House Speaker NO. No, you are risking a diplomatic issue. You may not start a war. This entire thing is absurd!

Pelosi has long been a critic of the Chinese Communist Party. She has met with pro-democracy dissidents and the Dalai Lama

Lol. Like hell she has.

Many Democrats and Republicans in Congress said it was Pelosi's right to travel to Taiwan.

Erm... Ok. So any elected official can use taxpayer planes to go risk a diplomatic situation whenever they feel like it. Yeah, no.
