> The Trump administration is completing a trade deal with Taiwan that would reduce tariffs on the island’s exports and commit its largest chipmaker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, to invest significantly more in the United States, according to three people familiar with the matter.
> The agreement, which has been under negotiation for months, is being legally scrubbed and could be announced this month. The deal would reduce the U.S. tariff rate, to 15 percent, for goods from the island, the people said. That rate is in line with imports from Japan and South Korea, Asian allies that struck deals last year.
