Taipei (Taiwan), June 13 (EFE).- The president of Taiwan, William Lai (Lai Ching-te), highlighted this Thursday the importance of strengthening economic and commercial ties between the island and the United States, something that would allow “guaranteeing ” the “security” of supply chains. “Go even deeper … “More our economic and trade relations will not only benefit the people of both parties, but will also guarantee the security of supply chains,” said the president before a meeting with former US Deputy National Security Advisor Matt Pottinger ( 2019-2021) in Taipei. Along these lines, Lai called for resolving the issue of double taxation “as soon as possible”, as well as advancing the negotiations framed in the “US-Taiwan Trade Initiative on Trade in the 21st Century”, which has been underway since 2022.
