Taiwan says president's meeting with US House speaker still being arranged

Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said on Thursday that President Tsai Ing-wen's meeting with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in the United States is still in the process of being arranged.

Wu made the comment in response to a question from a lawmaker in parliament about Tsai's visit to the U.S. and Central America which starts next week.

She is expected to meet McCarthy in Los Angles on the last leg of her trip.
