The Executive Yuan Premier Su Tseng-chang held a press conference on the 4th to address the new U.S. tariff policies and announced a response plan, declaring that 88 billion NTD will be invested to support industries, and he plans to invite the legislature across party lines for a joint discussion. Technology legislator Ker Chien-ming expressed criticism of the content of the meeting on Facebook with a 17-character post, stating that the Democratic Progressive Party is shirking responsibility in the face of difficulties and expressing anger at the Executive Yuan's response, emphasizing the fundamental causes of the current issues.
The President of the Executive Yuan, Su Tseng-chang, held a press conference on the 4th to announce our country's response measures to the U.S. tariff policy, emphasizing the need for unity among all parties. Reports indicate that after U.S. President Trump announced the new tariff system, Taiwan is facing a tariff pressure of up to 32%. On that day, Su Tseng-chang announced an investment of NT$88 billion to establish an industrial support plan, and intends to proactively invite various parties in the National Assembly next week to discuss countermeasures.
In response, technology legislator and AI and blockchain expert Yeh Rujun summarized the focus of the press conference on social media in 17 words: "Give me more money, eliminate the blue and white, Trump is wrong, China is worse," expressing anger at the current situation and pointing out the impact of the Democratic Progressive Party's policies. Yeh Rujun believes that the inaccurate tariff figures mentioned regarding Trump and Taiwan at the press conference, and the accusation that the trade deficit with the U.S. in recent years is a result of policy shifts during Trump’s tenure, left him confused and astonished.
He also mentioned that the summary of the Executive Yuan's response strategy is: "Give me more money, eliminate the blue and white, Trump is wrong, China is worse."
