The Premier of the Executive Yuan, Su Tseng-chang, held a press conference on the 4th to introduce the "Response to U.S. Tariffs: Support Plan for Our Export Supply Chain," emphasizing the government's response measures and calling for unity among all political parties. U.S. President Trump announced a new reciprocal tariff system, leading Taiwan to face tariff challenges of up to 32%. During the press conference, Su Tseng-chang announced an industrial support plan with a total budget of 88 billion NTD (New Taiwan Dollars) and plans to actively invite all parties in Congress to jointly discuss national affairs next week.

In response, technology legislator and AI and blockchain expert, Kuo Yu-chen, tweeted a concise 17-character summary of the key points of the press conference: "Give me more money, eliminate the blue and white, Trump is wrong, China is worse," expressing surprise. Kuo Yu-chen felt anger and sadness regarding the Executive Yuan's performance, bluntly stating that the hardships faced by the public are entirely the fault of the blue and white parties, and he attributed the responsibility for the increased tariffs to Trump. He pointed out that the press conference repeatedly emphasized Trump's data errors while ignoring the expanded trade surplus with the U.S. over the past few years, which is the result of the policy shifts during Trump's first term. He couldn't help but lament, "That was in 2018, and now it is already 2025. Are those who blame for the increased taxes referring to what Lai Ching-te calls 'strong negotiations'? This is essentially a copy of Zelensky-esque negotiations."

Regarding solutions to the changing situation Taiwan faces, Kuo Yu-chen summarized: "Give me more money, eliminate the blue and white, Trump is wrong, China is worse."
