Two US warships sailed through the disputed Taiwan Strait on Sunday.
It comes just weeks after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made her controversial visit to Taiwan despite warnings from China, raising tensions between Beijing, the US, and Taiwan. She was the most senior US leader to visit the island in more than 25 years.
Announcing the operation, the US Navy released a statement saying the guided missile cruisers, the USS Antietam and USS Chancellorsville, sailed through the strait in a „routine“ transit.
The Navy added, „The ship’s transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the United States‘ commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.
