Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Ketua DPR Amerika Serikat (AS) resmi datang ke Taiwan. Pesawat yang membawanya sampai di bandara Taipe Selada malam.

Dalam update terbaru CNBC International, Rabu (3/8/2022), ia bertemu dengan Presiden Taiwan Tsai Ing-wen. Tsai disebut berterima kasih kepada Pelosi atas dukungannya terhadap "nilai-nilai demokrasi" di pulau itu.
