Taiwan is still actively negotiating to reduce the 20% tariff further.

Here's the current situation:

Taiwan–U.S. Tariff Negotiation Status
- Current Rate: The U.S. imposed a 20% tariff on Taiwanese exports, down from the initial 32% rate.
- Provisional Status: This 20% rate is not final—it's considered provisional while negotiations continue.

- Ongoing Talks:
- Taiwan and the U.S. have held four rounds of in-person negotiations and several virtual meetings since April.
- A final meeting is still pending, and both sides are working to schedule the next round.

- Goals:
- Taiwan aims to reduce the tariff further, ideally below the rates given to Japan (15%) and South Korea (15%).
- Negotiations also include Section 232 issues, which affect semiconductor exports.

- Political Pressure:
- Opposition parties in Taiwan have criticized the government’s negotiation strategy, calling the 20% rate a “significant defeat”.
- President Lai Ching-te emphasized that the current deal is a stepping stone, not a final settlement
