TAIPEI (Reuters) -Taiwan Premier Cho Jung-tai said on Tuesday he had "no information" about any cooperation with South Korea on U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on semiconductors, adding that Taiwan was conducting talks only with the United States.

South Korea's trade minister said on Monday he saw room for cooperation with Taiwan on Trump's tariffs on chips. U.S. officials are privately saying they might not levy long-promised semiconductor tariffs soon, potentially delaying a centrepiece of Trump's economic agenda, Reuters reported last week.
