TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – The Office of Trade Negotiations under the Cabinet confirmed Saturday tariff talks with the US had taken place by video conferencing the previous day.

The two sides exchanged views about tariffs, non-tariff trade barriers, and export restrictions, the Liberty Times reported. The Trump administration initially slapped a 32% tariff on imports from Taiwan, but a reversal announced on April 9 imposed a basic 10% rate, with the higher tariff to take effect 90 days later.

Taiwan’s trade office said both sides hoped to be negotiating about the issues shortly to achieve a strong and stable trade relationship. No details were released about whether the next round of talks would be conducted at a virtual or a physical meeting.

Taiwan and the US did not mention who formed part of the negotiating teams. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told a TV show Friday morning his side had discussed tariffs with Vietnam, and would talk to teams from Israel and Taiwan later that day.
