The latest ruling by the United States Supreme Court on tariffs has raised questions regarding whether existing tariffs and agreements remain valid. Premier Cho Jung-tai (卓榮泰) said Tuesday that Taiwan’s negotiation team has remained in close contact with the U.S. officials following the decision and are working to ensure that Taiwan retains the treatment agreed upon in negotiations.

On February 20, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump’s invocation of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose additional tariffs was unlawful, adding uncertainty to the future of Taiwan-U.S. tariff arrangements.

Taiwan’s Legislature invited Premier Cho to deliver a special report about the situation this Tuesday. In response to opposition lawmakers questioning whether the previously signed Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART) between Taiwan and the U.S. remains valid, Cho said the latest developments have already been disclosed to the public.

Cho reiterated that the negotiation team, which was led by Vice Premier Cheng Li-chiun (鄭麗君), spent 10 months securing what he described as the best possible treatment for Taiwan.
