flag Taiwan to help train U.S. semiconductor workers; no formal deal reached despite $300B in investments.

flag U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Taiwan will assist in training American workers for advanced semiconductor manufacturing as final trade talks conclude, though Taiwan’s negotiator confirmed no formal agreement has been reached. flag Lutnick highlighted $300 billion in semiconductor investments, including TSMC’s $100 billion additional pledge, bringing its total U.S. investment to $160.5 billion. flag While the U.S. maintains a 20% tariff on Taiwanese imports, Taiwan seeks reciprocal tariff reductions and improved treatment under Section 232. flag Taiwan officials stressed that workforce development is a priority but noted companies like TSMC already run their own training programs, and no official training provision is part of current negotiations.
