The Huffington Post reports:
More than half of the 50 Republicans in the Senate ― including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConell (R-Ky.) and key foreign policy figures Sens. Jim Risch (R-Idaho) and Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) ― issued a joint statement on Pelosi’s trip soon after she landed on the island.
Saying the California Democrat had their “support,” the lawmakers wrote: “For decades, members of the United States Congress, including previous Speakers of the House, have traveled to Taiwan. This travel is consistent with the United States’ One China Policy to which we are committed. We are also committed, now more than ever, to all elements of the Taiwan Relations Act.”
