Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) took a phone call from Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te on Sunday, and they reportedly discussed lowering taxes on the island’s residents.
Lai stopped in Hawaii this weekend on his way to the Marshall Islands, Tuvalu, and Palau, three countries that have formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan. His warm welcome to the United States by Gov. Josh Green (D-HI) and Reps. Ed Case (D-HI) and Jill Tokuda (D-HI) were “strongly condemned” by Beijing. Pelosi, however, was phoned as an “old friend” to Lai from her 2022 visit to Taiwan.
