As this article reports, Taiwan's president Chen is making a 2-day stopover in the U.S. later this month, on his way to Panama. He will return by way of Anchorage, Alaska.

This is likely to raise the ire of the government of China (the P.R.O.C.), which is continually prevailing on the U.S. to uphold the P.R.O.C. interpretation of "One China" by barring visits from Taiwanese leaders.
