The aircraft belonging to the US Armed Forces "SPAR19" is currently flying from Malaysia and is theoretically headed towards Taiwan. It is not known, however, whether Nancy Pelosi, the third-highest-ranking diplomat in the United States, is aboard this plane. Pelosi is known for her critical attitude towards China. If Pelosi did land in China, it would be the most important US figure in Taiwan in at least 25 years. China said there would retaliate if this happened. Yesterday, Chinese combat jets flew around Taiwan. Today, the mood in the stock market will most likely depend on this event. The plane is theoretically scheduled to land at 3:30 p.m. BST.
Bloomberg does not know if Nancy Pelosi is on the plane. The company informs, however, that about 200,000. people are currently following this plane on FlightRadar24. Source: FlightRadar24
