US warships sail through Taiwan Strait for first time since Pelosi visited Taiwan

Two U.S. warships passed through the Taiwan Strait for the first time since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) trip to Taiwan earlier this month, invoking the ire of China.

The USS Antietam and USS Chancellorsville went through the strait, which is located between China and Taiwan, on a “routine” transit “in accordance with international law” on Sunday local time, according to a press release.
