According to an interview with former news agency Guang-Lei Yang, former director of TSMC’s R&D division, US President Donald Trump’s proposed tariff policy could have a major impact on both Taiwan and the US if it was implemented It warns that it is sexual.
Young points out that if the tariff plans proposed by the Trump administration were implemented, Taiwanese semiconductor companies could face a significant increase in costs, which could lead to a sharp rise in chip prices in the US market. I’m doing it.
Therefore, in response to potential chip tariffs, Yang suggests that Taiwan should focus on leveraging its strengths in semiconductor manufacturing, while deepening its cooperation with the US.
On the 7th, Trump announced that it could introduce mutual tariff measures within a week, and the market, as the report highlights, Taiwan and other major trading partners are one of the targets. I speculated that it could be.
The report shows that Taiwan and the US have long established partnerships in the semiconductor industry. Taiwan is actively developing the semiconductor sector with strong government support and deep collaboration with the US. Companies like TSMC have become major players in the global foundry industry and play a key role in the international supply chain.
Yang emphasizes that Taiwan’s success is not only a result of sustained investments in semiconductor technology, but also a strong partnership with US companies.
Strengthen semiconductor collaboration in Thailand, USA
Yang suggests that Taiwan can move certain semiconductor technologies to the US and promote joint development in key areas such as AI-driven semiconductor manufacturing, smart production, and niche markets such as defense and military applications.
As Yang points out, a notable example of the success of Us-Taiwan Semiconductor Collaboration is the partnership between United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) and Intel.
UMC, one of the world’s leading semiconductor manufacturers, launched a 12nm technology collaboration with Intel in 2024. The initiative states that the initiative focuses on developing a 12nm process platform. Wafer Foundry. Yang emphasizes that this mutually beneficial model of cooperation not only benefits both companies, but also brings innovation momentum to the global semiconductor industry.
