The US military plan to increase its military presence in the Indo-Pacific region, including fighters and ships, during the possible visit of the speaker of the US Congress Chamber Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan, Associated Press reports with reference to unnamed American officials.
In the event of a visit by Pelosi, the United States intends to “increase the movement” of its forces and funds in the area of the island. Probably, fighters, ships, surveillance tools and other military systems will be involved in creating “superimposed defense rings”, the publication notes.
According to the agency, it is planned to create buffer zones around the speaker and its aircraft. According to the agency, the security of Pelosi will be ensured thanks to the “significant” means dispersed in the region, but the military is prepared for the possibility of an accident in the air and on Earth. Therefore, according to the publication, the United States must mobilize rescue equipment, including helicopters.
