The White House said it was not involved in Pelosi's plans to visit TaiwanWashington disclaimed responsibility for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan, CNBC reports.
According to journalist Christina Wilkie, representatives of the administration of President Joe Biden are trying to convince their Chinese counterparts that neither the American leader nor military advisers have influence on Pelosi's actions.
She notes that officials and the president himself have been "tied in knots" for weeks, commenting on Pelosi's intentions to visit Taiwan, and also in every possible way emphasized that it was her own decision, but their efforts did not lead to anything.
“The internal division in Washington is virtually meaningless to the rest of the world, which has learned to view American presidents and their main allies in Congress as interchangeable elements in matters of foreign policy.
The fact that US policy on Taiwan is deliberately ambiguous only makes it harder to draw any meaningful distinction between Pelosi's actions and the White House's words,” - the journalist explained, describing the current situation.
Wilkie cited Andrew Merta, director of the China Global Research Center at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, who noted that the White House's attempts to disown Congress look dubious, including Biden's public statements, in which he assured that Washington would stand up for Taiwan in the event of a conflict with Beijing.

The only one who benefited from today's air show over the Taiwan Strait is the Kremlin.
