WASHINGTON — U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, one of the most powerful figures in Washington, will meet Wednesday with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in the state of California after both sides weighed the geopolitical implications of the historic encounter.
They will talk at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, a city near Los Angeles. Tsai’s trip will mark the 29th time that a sitting Taiwanese president transits the U.S., according to the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank.
