When you turn the printers back on

🇺🇸🇹🇼 US and Taiwan reach trade deal cutting tariffs to 15% and increasing American semiconductor investment by $500 billion.

NATO Begs U.S. For Emergency Funding So They Can Defend Greenland From U.S.

MAJOR trade deal: The U.S. and Taiwan have reached a historic agreement.

✅ Taiwan to invest $250B to build and produce chips in America.

✅ $250B+ in credit guarantees from Taiwan to support the full U.S. semiconductor supply chain.

✅ Reciprocal U.S. tariffs on Taiwanese goods capped at 15%.

President Trump’s America First Trade Agenda delivers again.
