US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi meets with Dalai Lama in India, sparking diplomatic tensions with China

A US congressional delegation led by Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, met with Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh. The delegation included former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other bipartisan members who arrived in India to visit the Dalai Lama. This visit comes after a recent congressional vote rejecting China's claim that its rule over Tibet dates back to ancient times.
