Cabinet Secretary-General Kung Ming-hsin (龔明鑫) led a Taiwanese delegation to the U.S. to participate in the SelectUSA Investment Summit. In a press release issued Wednesday, Kung described the trip as productive, with fruitful exchanges between Taiwanese companies and U.S. officials, including members of Congress and executive departments.
Kung says that Taiwan's active investment in the U.S. reflects the importance of Taiwan-U.S. cooperation. He urges the U.S. Senate to expedite the passage of legislation related to the Taiwan-U.S. agreement to avoid double taxation, noting that many Taiwanese firms have announced new investment plans in the U.S.
Looking ahead, Kung says he hopes for deeper cooperation under President Donald Trump’s second term, particularly in building non-China-reliant supply chains. Kung also says Taiwan will expand its procurement from the U.S., but called for supportive U.S. policies to ensure Taiwan’s continued ability to invest and collaborate. He stresses that a stronger U.S. enhances Taiwan’s security, while a stronger Taiwan helps reduce the burden to the U.S.
