Abstract

The article discusses the Trump administration's progress toward a trade deal with Taiwan that aims to reduce American tariffs on Taiwanese goods and enhance investments by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) in U.S. chip production. Tariffs on imports from Taiwan would decrease from 20% to 15%, aligning them with those from Japan and South Korea. TSMC is expected to commit to building at least four additional chip manufacturing plants in Arizona, potentially increasing its total investment in the U.S. to around $165 billion. The agreement, which is still under negotiation, could be finalized soon, but its implications may provoke reactions from China, which claims Taiwan as part of its territory.
