Biden delegation arrives in Taiwan in wake of Russia’s move on Ukraine HD

A delegation sent by the Biden administration has arrived in Taiwan. It’s led by former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen, and it comprises four other former defense and security officials, who are set to meet Taiwan’s president, premier, and other top officials. The group landed at the Songshan airport Tuesday afternoon. The visit is seen as a sign of support for Taiwan at a sensitive time, just after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Foreign minister Joseph Wu stood on the tarmac, wearing a mask with the flags of Taiwan and the U.S. and ready to greet the guests with an elbow bump. The first to disembark was former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen. He was followed by former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Michele Flournoy, former Deputy National Security Adviser Meghan O’Sullivan and former White House National Security Council senior directors for Asian affairs Michael Greene and Evan Medeiros. All assembled, the delegation waved at reporters and posed for a photo. The delegation is composed of high-level former security and defense officials. It’s led by Mullen, previously the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest ranking and most senior military officer in the U.S. Armed Forces. It’s also an important advisory position for the U.S. president and the Department of Defense. Flournoy was previously an under secretary of defense. After stepping down from office, she formed a global strategic advisory firm with now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Flournoy is seen as a popular candidate for the next U.S. secretary of defense. O’Sullivan has extensive experience related to the Middle East, but is also familiar with the trilateral relationship between the U.S., Japan and Europe. Greene and Medeiros served the George W. Bush and the Obama administration, respectively. They both handled matters regarding Taiwan and visited the island on several occasions. They both have a deep understanding of cross-strait affairs.
