Following the first round of in-person Taiwan-U.S. talks on tariffs and related trade issues, completed on May 1, 2025, Vice Premier Cheng Li-Chiun and Yang Jen-ni, trade representative at the Executive Yuan's Office of Trade Negotiations, led another government delegation to Washington, D.C., on June 25 (Eastern Daylight Time) for two days of further discussions on various topics.
During the talks, both sides addressed a range of trade and economic issues, including tariffs, non-tariff barriers, trade facilitation and supply chain resilience, gradually fostering consensus on promoting trade balance, enhancing the trade and economic system, and creating more opportunities for industrial and economic development between Taiwan and the U.S. Each side also expressed that expanding bilateral investment would further promote shared prosperity and development, building upon the longstanding complementary nature of Taiwanese and U.S. industries. Notably, Taiwanese companies have been investing more in the U.S. in recent years, and the U.S. is also glad to see its businesses expanding investment in Taiwan.
Vice Premier Cheng said that both sides believe the talks have made constructive progress thus far. She noted that Taiwan and the U.S. are important strategic partners in areas such as the economy, trade and technology, with deep-rooted cooperation in supply chains, and she anticipates that the talks will yield a mutually beneficial outcome for both sides.
