“Trump Admin To Send Delegation To Taiwan, The Highest Level Visit By A U.S. Cabinet Official In 4 Decades
“In the coming days, U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar will lead a delegation to Taiwan. This marks the first visit to Taiwan by an HHS Secretary, the first Cabinet member to visit in six years, and the highest level visit by a U.S. Cabinet official since 1979.”
hmmmm.”
Couple possibilities:
To counter China’s threats.
To confer with his Taiwanese counterpart regarding the virus.
I’m leaning towards the latter, since it’s the HHS secretary, and not the defense secretary.
But a great way to initiate high level talks without raising too much smoke from China... a curious event.
