- AmCham highlighted Taiwan’s investments in the US valued at US$21.5 billion by 2023 and TSMC’s planned US$165 billion semiconductor investment creating 6,000 high-tech jobs.
- AmCham President Carl Wegner emphasized that Taiwan is a dependable ally of the U.S., a key democratic collaborator in the Indo-Pacific region, a significant contributor to U.S. manufacturing investments, and plays an important role in strengthening the resilience of global supply chains.
- AmCham urged Washington to remove tariffs, resume high-level cabinet visits, and finalize the stalled US-Taiwan double-taxation agreement to boost trade and defense ties.
