Trump's announcement of "reciprocal tariffs" has triggered global turmoil, with the American public frantically stocking up due to concerns about rising prices, and billionaires also calling for restocking. Although U.S. stocks have plummeted for several consecutive days, Trump believes this is a time for wealth creation and points out that Beijing is already feeling uneasy. The Taiwanese stock market faces risks, and the Financial Supervisory Commission is prepared, while the Executive Yuan has launched an assistance plan worth 88 billion NT dollars to mitigate the impact of tariffs. Other news includes STARLUX Airlines being fined for age discrimination in hiring, and the U.S. Secretary of Commerce planning to bring chip manufacturing back to the domestic market.

How are you today? Trump announced "reciprocal tariffs," which triggered global market turmoil. American citizens have begun stockpiling goods, fearing future price increases, and even billionaires are calling for "quick restocking." In contrast, Trump appears very calm about the impact of the tariffs and believes that "now is a great time to get rich," even taunting that Beijing is already in a panic. The Taiwanese stock market barely caught its breath amid the global stock market crash, affected by the long holiday, but it may face further declines when trading opens next week. The Financial Supervisory Commission is on high alert, and the Executive Yuan has also announced an "NT$88 billion assistance plan" to mitigate the impact of the tariffs. Specific measures are as follows:

• Trump's tariffs trigger a stockpiling wave: Due to concerns about rising prices, New Yorkers are purchasing large quantities of 3C products, automotive parts, and household goods, even spending about NT$100,000 at once. A professor in California emptied his shopping cart on Amazon, and billionaire Mark Cuban also voiced his concerns.
• Trump: This is an opportunity to get rich: The U.S. stock market plummeted for two consecutive days, causing losses exceeding $6 trillion in the financial market; however, Trump emphasized that the tariff policy would not change, believing that large corporations would not be affected.
• StarLux Airlines fined incident: A 56-year-old worker applied for a pilot and baggage handling position but was rejected on the grounds that "the slots are limited," even though the position was still open. Taoyuan City consequently ruled it as discrimination against middle-aged job seekers and imposed a fine of NT$300,000.
• U.S. Commerce Secretary criticizes Taiwan's chip industry: Although reciprocal tariffs have not yet involved the semiconductor industry, Secretary Rutenik stated that the U.S. must "self-protect" in the future and plans to relocate the chip manufacturing industry back to the mainland.
• Taiwan's stock market faces challenges at opening: The Financial Supervisory Commission is closely monitoring the impact of tariffs and predicts that the Taiwanese stock market may retest the 20,000 points when trading opens on the 7th. It calls on investors to rationally face the economic situation and maintain market order.

To cope with the U.S. imposing a 32% tariff, the Executive Yuan has launched an "NT$88 billion assistance plan," covering various measures to support industries through difficulties, including financial, tax, market development, and employment stabilization support.

Moreover, there was news involving parking fines. A driver received a parking ticket in a restaurant's designated parking area, with the police explaining it was for "the rear of the car occupying the sidewalk." The individual questioned this as a trap, sparking discussions among netizens.
