0:59Now PlayingUS House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has signaled to China that the country can’t influence who he meets with, following a Southern California get-together Wednesday with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen.
“China cannot dictate who a speaker of the House can meet with, either foe or friend,” McCarthy told Bloomberg TV’s “Balance of Power” after the event at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.
McCarthy, who has traveled to Beijing three times, said he would “gladly” meet with Chinese President Xi Jingping. He emphasized that the gathering with Tsai included both Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
The California Republican also said he wanted the US to speed arms sales to Taiwan to strengthen the island democracy’s military deterrence.
“What we should do is speed up that process so they can defend themselves,” McCarthy said.
