TAIPEI: Three US senators will visit Taiwan on Sunday and will meet President Tsai Ing-wen to discuss security and other issues, Taiwan’s government and the de facto US embassy in Taipei said on Saturday, a trip that will likely irritate China.

Tammy Duckworth and Dan Sullivan of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Christopher Coons of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, will visit the island nation on Sunday as part of a larger trip to the Indo-Pacific region, the American Institute in Taiwan said. Taiwan’s presidential office said Tsai would meet the three at Taipei’s downtown Songshan airport on Sunday morning, and expressed thanks for the show of support, especially at a time when the island nation is dealing with a rise in Covid-19 cases.
