Executive Yuan Premier Su Tseng-chang held a press conference on the 4th to announce a support program for the export supply chain in response to the new tariffs imposed by the United States, with a total budget of 88 billion NTD, and plans to invite the legislature to discuss it collectively. Technology legislator Karen Hsu expressed dissatisfaction on social media, criticizing the government for shifting the blame in its response, and described the proposal as “give me more money, eliminate the blue and white, Trump is wrong, China is even worse.” She believes the Executive Yuan's explanation is unreasonable and feels anger over the difficulties faced by Taiwan.

Executive Yuan President Su Tseng-chang led a press conference on the 4th titled "Response to U.S. Tariffs: Taiwan's Export Supply Chain Support Plan," detailing our response measures and calling for unity among political parties. Following the announcement of a new tariff system by U.S. President Trump, Taiwan faces a tariff challenge of up to 32%. Su Tseng-chang announced an industry support plan with a total budget of NT$88 billion at the press conference and plans to proactively invite the legislature to discuss national affairs together next week.

After the meeting, technology legislator and AI and blockchain expert Ko Chih-hsien summarized the key points of the press conference in a concise 17-word social media post: "Give me more money, eliminate blue and white, Trump is wrong, China is worse," and could not suppress his emotions, stating "I am going to faint." In his post, he pointed out that the actions of DPP Legislative Yuan Caucus Chief Whip Ker Chien-ming played the role of shifting blame, while Su Tseng-chang resorted to pain-selling and poverty-crying to gain public support, which made him feel extremely angry and sad, believing that "the hardship of the people is the fault of the blue and white; the increased tariffs are Trump's fault." Ko Chih-hsien also mentioned that the Executive Yuan's press conference repeatedly emphasized Trump's numerical calculation errors, while also shifting blame for the quadrupling of Taiwan's trade surplus with the U.S. in recent years, pushing the responsibility onto the policy changes during Trump's first term. This led him to question, "That was in 2018, and now it's 2025. Is blaming the tax increases like this what Lai Ching-te means by 'strong negotiations'? This is basically a Ukrainian-style negotiation version!"

Facing the solution to this century-defining change in Taiwan, Ko Chih-hsien's summary is: "Give me more money, eliminate blue and white, Trump is wrong, China is worse."

• Trump calls for drug tariffs, and the pharmacy community worries that Taiwan will face a drug shortage.
• Trump's tariffs target China, affecting Taiwan's industries.
• Taiwanese stocks were downgraded to "neutral" by Goldman Sachs, while MediaTek was selected for the priority buy list.
• The Executive Yuan invests NT$88 billion to assist farmers and workers, but it has been met with skepticism.
• State-owned banks launch three measures to help Taiwan manufacturers penetrate the U.S. manufacturing market.
