The 32% "reciprocal tariff" implemented by the President of the United States on Taiwan will take effect on the 9th, and the President and the Premier are actively formulating response measures. After the President invited several ICT industry representatives for talks a few days ago, today he will again hold discussions with leaders of small and medium-sized enterprises. In this regard, a legislator from the Democratic Progressive Party in Kaohsiung pointed out that the President and the Premier have fully grasped Trump's tariff rhetoric and actions from before and after the elections.

The legislator stated through a self-recorded video that Trump had mentioned multiple times during his campaign about using tariffs to address the issue of trade deficits with the world, and he also initiated relevant actions after the election, prompting global countries to pay close attention and attempt to communicate with the United States in various ways to reduce negative impacts. Recently, there has been a significant decline in the U.S. stock market, and different voices have emerged within.

He emphasized that the Taiwanese government is closely monitoring domestic and international situations. From before the elections to after, both the President and the Premier have been attentive to Trump's tariff policies and have developed various response plans to mitigate impacts on Taiwan, while also hoping to maintain good interactions with the United States and other democratic allies.

The legislator reiterated that the President and the Premier have a complete grasp of the new tariff measures. He mentioned that after Trump announced the new tariffs, the President and the Premier invited industry representatives from traditional sectors and small and medium enterprises for intensive communication and allocated 88 billion NT dollars of government funding to support Taiwanese businesses through this challenging time. He believes that these response measures and communications will yield significant results and looks forward to effective resource utilization to stabilize the domestic stock market, economy, and industries, reduce the impact of the new tariffs on the domestic economy, and promote continuous progress and development of the economy and industries.
