The US naval ship USS John S. McCain passed through the Taiwan Strait from north to south on Thursday. This is the first transit of a US naval vessel through the strait under the Biden administration.

The US 7th Fleet says this transit demonstrates the United States’ commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific region. The US 7th Fleet also says that the United States military will continue operating in all parts of the world within the bounds of international law.
