A delegation of U.S. House lawmakers led by Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul met with members of the Legislative Yuan in Taiwan. The meeting comes amid heightened tensions with China, which claims Taiwan as its own territory. Republican Rep. Andy Barr criticized President Biden for a lack of “moral clarity” on the U.S. relationship with Taiwan, highlighting instances where Biden’s statements in Taiwan’s defense were later walked back by administration officials. Democratic lawmakers on the trip argued that Biden’s statements and subsequent clean-up attempts did not undercut the U.S. position and actually bolstered the country’s goal of “strategic ambiguity” on Beijing and Taipei.
