The State Department cited ongoing “transition efforts” with President-elect Joe Biden’s team as the reason behind the canceled visit. Biden will be inaugurated on Jan. 20.
A trip by Kelly Craft, the US Ambassador to the United Nations to Taiwan this week was cancelled suddenly on Wednesday after the Trump Administration called off all official engagements as part of its transition efforts to help US President-elect Joe Biden.
Craft was due to begin the three-day trip on January 13 and was scheduled to meet the island’s president Tsai Ing-wen.
Announced as part of a wider criticism on the arrest of 53 democracy activists in Hong Kong, the trip had come under scrutiny at home and abroad for its timing so close to Biden’s inauguration next week.
