TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan has sent officials to Washington to discuss possible U.S. tariffs by President Donald Trump, and has made preparations should they be imposed, Economy Minister Kuo Jyh-huei said on Saturday.
Tech firms in Taiwan, home to the world's largest contract chipmaker TSMC, face the possibility Trump will follow through on threats to put tariffs on imported chips after he accusing Taiwan during last year's campaign of having stolen American semiconductor business.
