Four U.S. senators from both sides of the aisle are planning to visit Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea within the coming days to strengthen U.S. alliances they see as critical to challenging China’s sphere of influence.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), who serves as the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, announced the trip on March 28. Sens. John Curtis (R-Utah), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) will join her on a trip to Taipei, Tokyo, and Seoul ahead of President Donald Trump’s May summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing.
