The US Air Force Academy on Friday called Taiwan a foreign nation when introducing
Taiwanese cadets at its graduation ceremony, which was attended by US President Donald Trump.
“We are pleased to have in the class graduates from 10 foreign nations,” a US Air Force officer presiding over the ceremony said, before naming Taiwan, Kazakhstan, South Korea, Romania, Rwanda, Sri Lanka, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore and Tunisia.
As each nation was called, a cadet from that nation stood and displayed their flag, which the audience acknowledged with cheers.
A video released by the academy showed a Taiwanese graduate standing and waving the Republic of China (ROC) flag. [FULL STORY]
