America’s and Taiwan’s economic and security interests are fundamentally interconnected. While Taiwan is not the United States’ largest trading partner, Taiwanese-manufactured semiconductors are essential to US industry. Taiwanese companies are also investing more in US semiconductor manufacturing, advancing America’s ability to produce the most powerful semiconductors domestically. Finally, eight years of growing relations and ongoing trade and tax negotiations inspire optimism about the partnership between the two like-minded democracies.
Join Hudson for a discussion on the trade and technology relationship between Washington and Taipei with US-Taiwan Business Council President Rupert Hammond-Chambers and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Senior Vice President Peter Cleveland.
