TAIPEI (Reuters) - There is no need for one country to control the semiconductor industry, which is complex and needs a division of labour, Taiwan's top technology official said on Saturday after U.S. President Donald Trump criticised the island's chip dominance.
Trump repeated claims on Thursday that Taiwan had taken the industry and he wanted back in the United States, saying he aimed to restore U.S. chip manufacturing.
