TAIPEI: Taiwan president Lai Ching-te has pledged to talk with the United States about president Donald Trump’s concerns over the chip industry and to increase US investment and buy more from the country, while also spending more on defence.
Trump spoke critically about Taiwan last Thursday, saying he aimed to restore US manufacturing of semiconductor chips and repeating claims about Taiwan having taken away the industry he wanted back in the United States.
