00:00Economy Minister Gong Minxin says trade talks with Washington are continuing, even as the
00:05U.S.'s top court weighs limits to President Donald Trump's tariff powers.
00:09We must continue to talk with the U.S. Trade Expansion Act.
00:25Section 232 of the U.S. Trade Expansion Act affects most of Taiwan's top exports, especially
00:31chips.
00:32Gong said that Section 232 negotiations are the government's current focus.
00:36The U.S. Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments on whether Trump exceeded his powers
00:40by imposing so-called reciprocal tariffs on many countries, including a 20 percent rate
00:45on Taiwan.
00:47But even if the court cancels those blanket rates, it would not affect any levies imposed
00:51through Section 232.
