Two US military ships in transit in the Taiwan Strait

The first mission from the Trump settlement. Beijing’s wrath

Two units of the US Navy, the destroyer USS Ralph Johnson and the Bowditch oceanographic ship, have crossed the Taiwan Strait from 10 to 12 February, in the first mission of its kind since President Donald Trump settled in the White House on January 20th . The move was harshly contested by China: “The Action of the United States sends wrong signals and increases the risks for safety,” said the command of the oriental theater of the popular army of liberation in a widespread declaration this morning.
