US House speaker puts out statement explaining trip, saying she will ‘focus on reaffirming our support and on promoting shared interests’

agreed to sever ties with al-Qaida and other international terror groups.had previously said the Taliban “grossly violated the Doha Agreement and repeated assurances to the world that they would not allow Afghan territory to be used by terrorists to threaten the security of other countries”.

While Kirby said he could not speak to what steps the US was going to take to hold the Taliban accountable for violating the agreement, “we made it very clear that that was a violation of the Doha agreement”. “We made it clear to the Taliban that we know what they did,” he said. “We know who they harbored. We know some of the steps they tried to take after the strike to cover up the evidence of it. We’re mindful of it. But I’m not going to get ahead - policy decisions haven’t been made. We’re not going to take the Taliban at their word. They claim they want a relationship with the United States and the West. They claim they want to open up and be part of the international community.

He said he felt that with or without the Taliban’s cooperation, this weekend’s drone strike proved that“The strike itself shows how serious we are about accountability,” Kirby said. “It shows how serious we are about defending our interests. We’re going to maintain this over-horizon capability. We’re going to continue to improve that capability going forward.”

Later, Kirby said, “Mr Zawahiri’s death is good for everyone in the world. He was a killer. It’s a good thing that he’s no longer walking the face of the earth.”

Nancy Pelosi begins Asia trip but does not mention TaiwanReports that House speaker could visit Taiwan have riled China; analysts say she may yet do so in unofficial capacity Why would Asian countries want that sea hag visiting I doubt if she will go to Taiwan. China isn't playing the game. However if she pisses China off the outcome will really suck for her and America. China's response will be some paper. HK was sorted with a piece of paper

Nancy Pelosi lands in Taiwan as China condemns her visitPelosi says the visit to Taiwan honours America's 'unwavering commitment' to support Taiwan's democracy. What a selfish way to put a bunch of innocent people in the surrounding countries at risk, all so she can look important. I'm not a fan of Nancy Pelosi however, No other country on this planet should be able to tell any US Government official where they can or can't go, especially China. I'm glad she decided to go to Taiwan. The Pelosi’s funnel too much money to China- they will do nothing

Nancy Pelosi arrives in Taiwan, defying China's warnings and threatsUS House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi has arrived in Taiwan as China's government says her visit seriously damages peace and stability in the region. Hope she won't talk about that crazy 'birdable' stuff like she did recently. Taiwan obviously likes the visit and this should be reflected in the headline, SBS! The rich and powerful White Anglo community of Americans have always done what they have wanted, not only in America to non-Anglos, but also around the world. Hawaii was annexed as an American colony in the 1950s!
