Chinese President Xi Jinping leader said Monday she hopes to "gain deeper trust" from the United States, before departing for the country where she is expected to be grilled over her party's stance on China and defence spending.
Kuomintang chairwoman Cheng Li-wun's trip comes two months after her "peace" visit to Beijing, where she met Chinese President Xi Jinping -- the first such meeting in a decade -- and weeks after US President Donald Trump's summit with Xi in the Chinese capital.
It also comes after the KMT recently thwarted the Taiwanese government's plan to spend nearly $40 billion on critical weapons, including US arms and domestically produced drones.
