In this episode of Beyond the Reefs, we unpack the latest twists in U.S. tariff negotiations and what they mean for Taiwan and its neighbors in Asia. From reciprocal tariffs on Vietnam and Japan, to Washington’s hardline stance on semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and defense-linked trade deals, the ripple effects are being felt across supply chains. We also explore how industry figures like Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang have emerged as unexpected power brokers, brokering exemptions and shaping U.S.–China tech trade. Join us as we trace the economic, strategic, and human dimensions of this unfolding tariff saga.
