Moderator:

Taiwan’s status as a leading semiconductor manufacturer makes it a crucial partner to the United States as Washington seeks to recalibrate its global trade strategy. But President Donald Trump’s potential imposition of 15 to 32 percent tariffs on other Taiwanese goods has created significant uncertainty in Taipei at a critical inflection point for US-Taiwan relations.

Join Hudson for a panel discussion with American and Taiwanese experts and former policymakers on how Taiwan can navigate economic headwinds, realign its trade strategy, and strengthen its resilience in the face of the rising Chinese threat.
