This has heightened trade policy uncertainty and exacerbated the risks of a global economic slowdown.
As the US continues to recalibrate its trade policy toward China, Taiwanese technology suppliers find themselves caught in a state of strategic limbo, anxious over the potential implications of every twist and turn in US tariff decisions.
