Die Vereinigten Staaten haben eine Handelseinigung mit Taiwan bestätigt. Die USA senken den Zollsatz für Taiwan auf 15 Prozent ab, wie das Handelsministerium am Donnerstag in Washington mitteilte.
USA und Taiwan schließen milliardenschweres Handelsabkommen für Halbleiter und KI.

Overview

  • The U.S. Department of Commerce confirmed a deal setting a 15% cap on tariffs for most Taiwanese goods.
  • Taiwan pledged at least $250 billion in new U.S. direct investment aimed at semiconductors and artificial intelligence.
  • Sector rules include a 15% limit for items such as auto parts and wood products, with zero tariffs for generics and certain raw materials.
  • Taipei described preferred treatment for semiconductors and related products, and Premier Cho Jung-tai called the agreement hard-won.
  • Talks began after President Trump imposed 32% tariffs, later reduced to 20%, and some Taiwanese firms warn a 15% rate still strains thin margins.
