Taiwan is calling on the United States to avoid “unnecessary speculation or misunderstanding” after the White House potentially caused confusion when it deleted a tweet that contained the Taiwan flag in it on Wednesday.

The tweet was posted by the White House COVID-19 Response Team and included a picture about the United States’ vaccine distribution around the world, per The Hill. The United States recently donated Moderna COVID-19 vaccine supplies to Taiwan. The post reportedly included the flag of Taiwan with flags of other places receiving the shots. The post was later removed.
