U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) is in Taipei, Taiwan, having arrived yesterday for a three-day visit there, where she was arranging another provocation against China with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen. During their meeting, Tsai said that the U.S. is planning on “cooperation” between its National Guard and Taiwan’s military, deepening security ties in the face of what Taipei’s government complains is a rising threat from China, reported Reuters.
Tsai noted that Duckworth was one of the main sponsors of the Taiwan Partnership Act, which has received bipartisan support in the U.S. Congress, though it has yet to become law. “As a result, the U.S. Department of Defense is now proactively planning cooperation between the U.S. National Guard and Taiwan’s defense forces,” Tsai said, without giving details.
