U.S. Warships Sail Through Taiwan Strait for First Time Since Nancy Pelosi’s Visit

HONG KONG—Two U.S. warships sailed through the Taiwan Strait, U.S. and Taiwan defense officials said Sunday, the first such activity publicized since U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan earlier in August.

The voyage “demonstrates the United States’ commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific,” the U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet said. “The United States military flies, sails, and operates anywhere international law allows.”
