Listeners, today on Taiwan Tariff News and Tracker, we're bringing you the latest headlines circling US tariff rates, President Trump, and Taiwan as of November 10, 2025. Tariffs are once again taking center stage in trans-Pacific trade discourse, catching the attention of policymakers, businesses, and every industry relying on smooth movement of goods.
According to the Good Men Project, President Trump’s administration imposed a sweeping 10 percent baseline tariff on nearly all US imports back in April, with reciprocal tariff rates climbing to as much as 50 percent for over sixty countries. Taiwan stands out, with current US tariff rates set at 20 percent for Taiwanese exports, as reported by The Watchdog Online. But here’s the news shaking up markets: Chang Chien-yi, of Taiwan's economic forecasting body speaking to OCAC News, anticipates an imminent adjustment to a 15 percent tariff, aligning Taiwan with recent reductions granted to South Korea. Negotiations are active, but no formal announcement has arrived just yet.
Listeners should note that the Trump administration continues to leverage aggressive tariffs to gain negotiating power, especially across the broader Asia-Pacific region. At the recent APEC forum in Gyeongju, headline deals saw President Trump cut tariffs for both China—from 57 percent to 47 percent—and Korea—from 25 percent to 15 percent—in exchange for major market access concessions and investment promises. However, US officials are adamant that Taiwan is not being used as a bargaining chip in China talks. Senator Marco Rubio, speaking to the Straits Times, reaffirmed the US commitment to Taiwan, stressing that no trade-offs are being made to secure deals with Beijing.
Against this backdrop, local Taiwanese analysts, according to a forthcoming post-APEC analysis by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, warn that tariff policy is now tied not only to economics but to its potential ripple effects on regional security and Washington’s credibility in East Asia. Businesses in Taiwan are especially focused on where tariffs will settle, with OCAC News highlighting ongoing hopes for clarity around a 15 percent rate—a move that could help stabilize technology exports and investment outlooks for the island.
Until negotiators finalize terms, the future of Taiwan’s tariff rate remains on edge and so does the rapidly evolving tech-driven trade relationship between Washington and Taipei. For now, listeners and tariff watchers should stay tuned.
