TSMC in the Spotlight during U.S.-Taiwan Trade Talks
Host: Jasmine Lee Trade negotiations between the United States and Taiwan are ongoing, with U.S. President Donal Trump’s 90-day tariff pause set to expire in July. TSMC would be among the companies hit by the so-called ‘reciprocal’ tariffs, and the Taiwanese chip giant is pushing back aggressively. Will the three-month pause be extended further? If the proposed levies are implemented, how would they affect TSMC’s bottom line? And can Taiwan keep its chip lead in the new global economic order? In this episode, we discuss the state of U.S.-Taiwan trade talks and the future of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry. Our guests: Konrad Young Former TSMC R&D Director LeadAgileX Accelerator Founding Partner Liu Da-Nien CIER Regional Development Study Center Director
