Pelosi punctuates Asia trump declaring US won’t allow China to isolate Taiwan

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) vowed that the United States and its allies will not allow China to isolate Taiwan.

The top lawmaker gave the remarks in Tokyo on the last stop of her highly publicized East Asia trip, which was punctuated by a controversial visit to Taiwan. Pelosi hit back at the Chinese government, which has levied threats over the visit and conducted drills around the self-governing democracy it claims for its own, saying Beijing would not be allowed to prevent U.S. officials from visiting the island off the east coast of China nor isolate it.
