Premier Su Tseng-chang stated that President Lai Ching-te has instructed to prioritize stabilizing the economy and supporting industries in response to the 32% tariff increase imposed by the United States on Taiwan. The Executive Yuan has launched a 88 billion relief plan. Lai Ching-te held discussions with business representatives at the official residence to discuss countermeasures and will invite representatives from traditional industries and small and medium enterprises tomorrow to hear their needs to ensure industry competitiveness. Attendees believe the government should strategize for future actions, grasp negotiation leverage, and develop medium- to long-term response strategies.

The Premier, Su Tseng-chang, mentioned yesterday that President Lai Ching-te pointed out that the most critical preparation work at present is to provide maximum support to the industry in order to stabilize the economic situation. In response to the U.S. implementation of equivalent tariffs, in addition to the Cabinet proposing an 88 billion assistance plan, Lai Ching-te also held talks today with representatives from the business sector at the official residence, which was confirmed by the Presidential Office spokesperson.

The U.S. President announced a new global tariff policy, imposing a 32% tariff on Taiwan, which has caused a significant impact on Taiwan's industries. Su Tseng-chang held a two-hour press conference at the Cabinet yesterday, announcing that 88 billion will be allocated to assist the relevant industries, with the strategic goal of quickly stabilizing industrial confidence. Earlier today, Su Tseng-chang convened relevant leaders from the Central Bank, Financial Supervisory Commission, and Ministry of Finance to discuss financial measures and conduct further detailed discussions regarding the Taiwan stock market and industry responses after the long holiday.

In addition to the Cabinet taking action, Lai Ching-te also invited several representatives from the ICT industry for a business forum at the official residence today. In response to media inquiries about today's discussions, the Presidential Office spokesperson stated that to address the global economic and trade challenges posed by the equivalent tariff policy, Lai Ching-te invited several ICT industry representatives for talks this afternoon. The spokesperson further pointed out that Lai Ching-te will also convene a second forum tomorrow with representatives from traditional industries and small and medium enterprises to gather firsthand opinions and needs from the industry and explain and exchange on the government's response measures. The hope is to provide the maximum support for the industry, stabilize the economic situation, ensure Taiwan's industrial competitiveness in the global arena, and safeguard national interests and sustainable economic development.

According to sources, attendees believe that preparations for subsequent actions should be planned. Although different countries have various response strategies, such as retaliation, yielding, or partial compromise, the situation in each country varies, and the U.S. has not yet made a final decision, requiring further observation. Therefore, there is agreement among everyone that the government should negotiate with the chips it has on hand without rushing to make announcements, first proposing industry reassurance plans, while the industry forums held at the official residence over the next two days aim to establish a medium to long-term strategic layout for responses.
