Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen has told a visiting group of U.S. lawmakers that the country is confident it can sign a “high standard” trade deal with the United States under a new framework.
Tsai told the bipartisan U.S. lawmaker delegation at a meeting in the presidential office that Taiwan would work with the United States to forge even closer trade and economic ties.
Taiwan has long pushed for a broad free trade deal with the United States, its most important international backer, and foreign arms supplier even in the absence of formal diplomatic ties.
