The American Chamber of Commerce has released its 2025 White Paper - in which
its calling on Washington to cancel import taxes on Taiwanese goods and for
more high-level visits by U-S officials.

According to the business group, it's members are urging the U-S government
to "remove new and proposed tariffs on Taiwanese goods" as they "unfairly
penalize a trusted democratic partner."

The chamber says it believes that maintaining tariffs on semiconductors,
advanced machinery and electronics raises costs for American businesses and
consumers while sending a conflicting signal about the strength of US.-Taiwan
ties.

Speaking at an event marking the release of the White Paper, chamber
president Carl Wegner said Taiwan is a reliable friend of the U-S, a major
investor in American industry, and a critical contributor to supply chain
resilience ..

.. and, as the U-S works to bolster domestic manufacturing and reduce supply
chain vulnerabilities, it's in America's interest to ensure that Taiwan is
treated as a partner, not as an adversary.

The White Paper also calls for more visits to Taiwan by U-S cabinet
officials, saying that routine visits by senior U-S officials are a
cornerstone of diplomatic normalization and demonstrate that engagement with
Taiwan is normal, expected and uncontroversial.
