Regarding the invalidation of Trump's global tariff, Taiwanese senior media figure Zhao Shaokang responded, previously he repeatedly asked the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities to compare the burden of tariffs with the losses from investing in the U.S.? Investing 100 billion U.S. dollars is equivalent to 3 trillion New Taiwan Dollars, which can support 30,000 small and medium enterprises at 1 billion New Taiwan Dollars each, or 10,000 enterprises at 3 billion New Taiwan Dollars each. Among these, if only 100 enterprises could develop into important industries like Foxconn (supported by Guo Taiming's mother's "bidding association"), how great would be the contribution to Taiwan? Let alone the commitment to invest 250 billion U.S. dollars plus another 250 billion U.S. dollars, totaling 500 billion U.S. dollars, and opening up the agricultural market?
Zhao Shaokang mentioned that DPP party leader Lai Ching-te and "Premier" Cho Yung-tai hastily signed an "unfavorable and humiliating contract," treating a funeral as a celebration and proudly informing the people of Taiwan. Now even if Trump says he will impose a 10% tariff on all over the world, the impact on Taiwan will be greatly reduced, and it will certainly be challenged, and it won't last for several months.
Zhao Shaokang believes that a marriage contract signed under the threat of a gangster's gun has no legal effect in law. Similarly, the "Taiwan-US Reciprocal Trade Agreement" signed under the threat of tariffs has no legal validity! The DPP authorities should immediately revoke the agreement draft, and the Legislative Yuan should not pass it, otherwise it would be a serious dereliction of duty. Whoever passes it, I will sue them in court.
Additionally, the Kuomintang (KMT) faction in the Taiwan legislative body stated on the 21st that yesterday's Supreme Court ruling on the unconstitutional nature of the "reciprocal tariff agreement" was the most severe blow to Trump's destruction of the international order, and also a solemn declaration of the independence of the American judiciary. In the face of this illegal judgment, the DPP authorities must immediately stop and restart negotiations. It cannot allow the future of three generations of people on the island to be sacrificed in the DPP's "funeral as a celebration" unequal agreement. The KMT faction strongly urges Lai Ching-te to seize this historic major turning point and immediately restart the negotiations.
It is understood that U.S. President Donald Trump today launched an unusual personal attack on the Supreme Court justices who ruled against the global tariff, including two justices he appointed himself, claiming they were influenced by foreign interests.
