Tsai Ing-wen pledges to buy large amounts of US natural gas but still faces high tariffs

Natasha Chen wrote last night (April 3rd): "Taiwan values its strong economic partnership with the United States. Our trade surplus with the US is a result of policy shifts, not unfair trade practices. We look forward to closely cooperating with the US to ensure fair and mutually beneficial practices that strengthen our shared prosperity."

[Wit] Comment: Faced with Trump's aggressive so-called "reciprocal tariffs," some chose retaliation while others chose surrender. Among these, Taiwan seems to have accepted it without complaint and was one of the first economies to directly surrender. Despite TSMC's voluntary investment in factories in the US and Tsai Ing-wen's commitment to purchasing large amounts of American natural gas, Trump still imposed a 32% tariff on Taiwan. Tsai Ing-wen is truly an American lapdog!
