Taiwan Boosts US Purchases to Counter Tariffs, Aims to Protect Export Economy and Strengthen Bilateral Trade Relations

In today's update, Taiwan continues to navigate the challenging tariff landscape imposed by the Trump administration earlier this spring. Since April, Taiwanese exports to the United States have been subject to a 32% tariff, though this was temporarily reduced to 10% for a 90-day negotiation period.
Just yesterday, Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te announced that his country will increase purchases of American goods, including energy resources such as natural gas and petroleum, agricultural products, industrial products, and even military procurement. This move comes as a direct response to the tariff pressure from the Trump administration.
"This will not only help balance our bilateral trade, but also strengthen development for Taiwan in energy autonomy, resilience, the economy, and trade," President Lai stated while hosting a US congressional delegation.
The economic stakes are significant for Taiwan, as the US market accounts for approximately 25.7% of total Taiwanese exports, making it the island's largest export destination. Most exports are industrial non-semiconductor products such as servers, network equipment, machinery, auto parts, and hardware.
Economic forecasts from the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research suggest Taiwan's economic growth could be limited to just 1.66% this year due to these tariff concerns. Under an optimistic scenario where tariffs remain at 10%, growth could reach 2.85%, but in a worst-case scenario, it could plummet to a mere 0.16%.
The tariff situation remains fluid as negotiations continue. Taiwan's Executive Yuan previously criticized the high tariff rate as unfair, with Cabinet spokesperson Michelle Lee questioning the unclear methodology behind the tariffs.
Meanwhile, other East Asian countries are facing similar pressures, with Japan and South Korea facing tariffs of 24% and 25% respectively, while several Southeast Asian countries have been hit with tariffs ranging from 32% to 49%.
For Taiwan's small-to-medium-sized enterprises, which make up a significant portion of the country's export sector, these tariffs pose a substantial threat to competitiveness and profitability in the crucial US market.
