Taiwan to be one of first to talk tariffs with US, president says

Quick Summary:

TAIPEI: Taiwan is to be included in the first batch of trading partners to hold talks with Washington, President Lai Ching-te said on Friday, as his economy minister said the island could import over $200 billion worth of U.S.goods, much of it in energy.

Countries around Asia have already said they have begun or are preparing to begin talks with Washington over the tariffs, and the White House has said nearly 70 countries have reached out to begin negotiations.

The United States is Taiwan's most important international backer and arms supplier, despite the absence of formal diplomatic ties.
