TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Saturday that Washington will soon begin discussions with Taiwan on tariffs, following President Donald Trump's decision to pause newly imposed levies.

On Wednesday, Trump announced a 90-day suspension of the planned 32% tariff on Taiwanese goods, replacing it with a universal 10% rate. The reduced tariff applies to all targeted countries except China, per CNA.

While it remains unclear who will represent Taiwan in the upcoming talks, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later confirmed Greer's remarks. Leavitt said more than 15 countries have already submitted proposals for revised tariff agreements.

In a Saturday morning interview with Fox News, Greer said he would be meeting with Israeli officials later that day. He added that he would also speak with his counterpart in Taiwan.

Taiwan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍) confirmed on Wednesday that Taiwan is on the US negotiation list. He said both sides are exchanging information and the US has requested additional details to help move talks forward, per CNA.

The Cabinet has completed an internal review focusing on key US interests, including greater investment in and procurement from US businesses. Taiwan is also considering reducing tariffs or removing non-tariff trade barriers on several US-listed items, such as automobiles, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural products.
