Recent reports suggest that if the ongoing trade negotiations do not reach a successful conclusion, Taiwan might face a significant risk of 35% tariffs on imports. Prominent political analyst Kuo Ching-liang has pointed out that Taiwan must exert every effort to ensure it does not end up at a disadvantage in this crucial economic negotiation.

In a media interview, Kuo emphasized the need for Taiwan to communicate its desire for the United States to postpone any related actions, especially in light of the current global trade uncertainties and the tensions between the US and China. He warned that if the US rushes to reveal its trade policies, it could result in severe consequences for Taiwan's economy.

Over the years, Taiwan has been striving for better treatment under US trade policies, particularly in the fields of technology and agricultural products. With China exerting constant pressure, Taiwan needs to maintain close cooperation with the US to ensure its economic stability.

Kuo stated that if the US adopts a hardline stance on tariff issues, Taiwan will face unprecedented challenges, especially given its export-oriented economy, which will directly affect exporters and consumers in Taiwan. In the context of the current global economic slowdown, such policies will further weigh down Taiwan's economic burden.

To address potential tariff pressures, Kuo suggested that the Taiwanese government actively seek dialogue with the US and enhance coordination among relevant departments to secure more favorable outcomes in future trade negotiations. He stressed that this is not only an economic issue but also a crucial consideration for national security and development.

Overall, Taiwan's supply chains and industrial development are facing numerous external challenges, which means that in future trade wars, Taiwan must seek more allies to confront these adversities together. Only by finding its position amid global economic changes can Taiwan secure its place in the international market in the future.
