In an exclusive TaiwanPlus interview, former Taiwan trade representative John Deng says the White House’s new 20 % tariff on most Taiwanese goods will likely be lowered if Taipei opens its market wider, boosts investment in the U.S. and narrows its trade surplus. He also discusses the status of the 21st-Century Trade Initiative he helped get through, the likelihood of Section 232 tariffs on semiconductors and what it's like inside the negotiating room.
