If US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visits Taiwan, the US Department of Defense will make preparations to protect her from the threat of a Chinese attack, officials said.
Informed sources said: If Nancy Pelosi goes to the dubious island of Taiwan, she will be the first high-ranking US representative to visit the island since 1997.
As such, it is the duty of the forces to provide him protection there. Since he will be traveling to Taiwan, he will be given extra protection than in other less risky countries.
Officials don’t think China will attack Nancy Pelosi’s plane. However, since Taiwan is a very suspicious area, there are chances of things getting worse due to misunderstandings, predictions etc. Steps will be taken to avoid them.
If Nancy Pelosi is confirmed to go to Taiwan, security facilities such as surveillance planes will be increased in the region, he said.
Although Taiwan has been functioning as a separate country since the Chinese Civil War, China still considers the island as part of its territory. Chinese President Xi Jinping has been saying that he has the right to annex Taiwan to China and will use military force if necessary.
In this situation, it was reported last week that the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, may visit the island.
China, which is opposing this, has warned that Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan will have dire consequences.
