Rep. Michael McCaul told NBC News that he and Chair Gregory Meeks were invited among a small group of lawmakers to join the trip. The Republican congressman added that he declined Pelosi’s invitation because of a conflicting personal obligation.

Neither Pelosi’s spokesperson or the White House has confirmed her trip, which would make the speaker the highest-ranking American politician to visit Taiwan since 1997. US President Joe Biden said he was warned by military officials that the trip was inadvisable. Beijing has warned of a strong response if the speaker decides to move forward.
