TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer plowed through the Taiwan Strait on Wednesday (March 10), marking the third passage of an American naval vessel through the strait since President Joe Biden took office. 

The U.S. Navy's 7th Fleet on Wednesday announced that the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS John Finn (DDG 113) had carried out a "routine Taiwan Strait transit" that day "in accordance with international law." 

The 7th Fleet emphasized that the warship's passage "demonstrates the U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific."
