KMT demands review of signed tariff agreementsBy Shih Hsiao-kuang and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) yesterday demanded that the government submit signed agreements with the US from its tariff negotiations to the legislature for review. Taiwan also agreed to provide an additional US$250 billion in credit guarantees for further investment in the US semiconductor supply chain. Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) spokesman Niu Hsu-ting, left, and KMT Culture and Communications Committee head Wu Tsung-hsien hold placards at a press conference at the party headquarters in Taipei yesterday. KMT spokesman Niu Hsu-ting (牛煦庭) also voiced doubts about whether the negotiated tariff rates were truly beneficial for Taiwan. According to Niu, the potential outflow of semiconductor-related supply chains would have a heavier impact on Taiwan than US-imposed tariffs.
