U.S. President Trump announced a 32% tariff on Taiwan, prompting Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te to convene a team to discuss countermeasures. He criticized this policy as unreasonable and inconsistent with the substantive trade relationship between the U.S. and Taiwan, causing potential impacts on industries and the economy. Netizens have expressed skepticism regarding the government's response, and media personality Huang Yangming also mocked the government, with many comments being negative. Reports indicate that some are calling for Tsai Jung-tai to resign to avoid harming the country.

The President of the United States announced reciprocal tariff measures, indicating that Taiwan will face a heavy tax of 32%. The President convened members of the administration and national security teams at the official residence to discuss the government's response measures. He expressed that he feels the high tariff decision by the United States is unreasonable, yet it still sparked criticism from netizens. Media commentators left sarcastic remarks, attracting a large number of likes and smile reactions.

The President pointed out on Facebook that he and team members at the official residence discussed the "reciprocal tariff" policy recently announced by Trump. This policy's tariff levels exceeded expectations, including its impact on industries and the overall economy, as well as how the government plans to respond. The administrative team detailed the impact assessment of the tariff measures, especially how to minimize the impacts and ensure global competitiveness.

He mentioned that this "reciprocal tariff" policy, based on trade deficits, does not reasonably reflect the trade structure and relationship between Taiwan and the U.S. The trade deficit in recent years primarily stems from our country's industry complying with technology restrictions, which has led to a demand for U.S. information and communication products becoming a reason for high tariffs. This makes him feel it is unreasonable and he is concerned about the potential impact of these measures on the global economy.

In response to posts about this policy, besides some DPP legislators and supporters responding, the comment section was mostly filled with negative voices. Comments from netizens included: "Are you awake now?", "What were your previous statements?", "The worst government," along with worries about the future economic situation. Some comments even questioned the President's abilities and discussed the rationality of the government's response measures.
