Sky News contributor Daisy Cousens says it’s “quite interesting and quite gutsy” for US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to plan to go to Taiwan.
China has issued threats over reports Ms Pelosi plans to visit Taiwan in August – warning of “forceful measures” if she makes the journey.
“I think Nancy Pelosi is one of the worst people on planet earth, but this is probably the one thing that I like about her is that she’s supportive of Taiwan and relatively tough on China,” Ms Cousens told Sky News host Cory Bernardi. “It’s quite interesting and quite gutsy that she’s actually still planning to go in August, and Beijing has said some really dreadful things after her visit was announced.”
