#Taiwan and United States have settled to decrease the U.S tariffs on Taiwanese products to 15%. The deal comes at a time when the Supreme Court withholds a decision defining the power that President #Donald Trump has on levying tariffs.
Taiwan Reaches Deal With Trump To Cut Tariffs
According to a Bloomberg report, the deal will reduce the tariff that is currently at 20%. The new rate will put Taiwan on the same footing as its allies Japan and South Korea who managed to negotiate similar rates last year.
Other than tariff removal, the deal has several significant promises from the semiconductor industry in Taiwan. The investment of Taiwanese chip companies on U.S. activities would amount to approximately $500 billion for advanced production and increase supply chain.
Hence, the chipmaker will construct at least five additional fabrication plants in Arizona, which will give the company approximately a double of its manufacturing presence in the state.
What Are The Effects Of Trump Tariffs On Nationwide Security?
Taiwan is a global leader in the manufacture of high-level semiconductors employed in AI and defense industry as well as data centers. The rate of trade negotiations has been picking up after the broad tariffs implemented by Trump on several trading partners last year.
The Trump government presents the deal as a national security priority. The officials seek to decrease the U.S. dependency on foreign chip manufacturing in the face of increasing tensions of geopolitical scale.
The government has also indicated that it was ready to reduce rates in a tradeoff for strategic investments in the country. The time is significant because the Supreme Court could lower Trump’s tariff powers to impose tariffs.
The judges once again refused to give a judgment on January 14, pushing the ruling to January 16. The case before the court revolves around whether the President Trump has the authority to impose tariffs based off emergency economic reasons. If the decision goes against the Trump administration, it may restrain future action of tariffs or require refunds.
Will Trump Tariffs Be Blocked By Supreme Court?
However, White House advisor Kevin Hassett referenced substitutes to tariffs in case of Supreme Court obstruction. The ruling to a wider risk sentiment in the equities, commodities or crypto markets.
There is anticipation that tariff clarity can affect inflation expectations and interest rate policy under the Trump regime. Over one third of Taiwan export is semiconductors. By lowering tariffs during the Trump administration, the U.S. can enjoy stronger industrial ties along with seamless trade flows

#Gold surged to a new record above $4,600 an ounce on January 12 as investors shifted into defensive assets during deadly unrest in Iran and rising political tension tied to the U.S. Federal Reserve. Spot prices later eased slightly after the spike.
Gold Hits Record High as Iran Unrest Lifts Safe-Haven Demand
Spot gold briefly rose to around $4,600 before reversing, and futures also reached new highs. The metal rose as much as 2% in intraday trading and ended on top of a week that had the price surging more than 4%, taking it to a record high.
The Gold rally was part of that backlash, tied to a worsening situation in Iran, where protests and strikes have spread into a third week. Activist groups and rights monitors had documented hundreds of deaths and more than 10,000 arrests since demonstrations began in late December over inflation and currency collapse.
According to AP news, at least 544 people have died. It has raised fears that the crackdown could drive a security crisis across the Middle East.
Tensions escalated after President Trump of the United States said he was weighing military options if Iranian forces persisted in cracking down. He also signaled that action could come if Tehran endangers regional allies or U.S. bases.
Iranian officials said in response that the country was ready for war, but also signaled a conditional willingness to talk. The combination of risks and the thin volume market fostered demand for defense positioning.
Trump Asserts Venezuela Intervention As BTC Trades in a Close Band
#Donald Trump shared a Truth Social photo saying that he was the acting president of Venezuela alongside another edict photo in Wiki style. It also called him the 45th and the 47th president of the US, and had a date of January 20, 2025, as the date of his inauguration.

The post was published during a time of increased tension. As CoinGape reported previously, President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were captured by the U.S. military operations in Venezuela. A U.S. federal court brought charges against Maduro on the charge of drug trafficking and other crimes.
In an X post, analyst Leviathan pointed out that the Bitcoin price has historically trailed gold in every market cycle until it rapidly caught up. He contended that the cycle sees capital entering traditional safe havens first before flowing into BTC as risk returns. The analyst also highlighted that Bitcoin is “next in line” for a volatile move.
BTC is trading below the high it reached in October of over $126,000. The momentum has not been strong after a short-term recovery to $94,000 earlier this month.
The current market interest is directed to $90,000 as the key support area. Further fall may reveal the lower part of the range around $85,000, which forms the bottom of the current consolidation. On the upside, a clean break above $94,500 would be required of bulls to change the mood and pave the way to the $100,000 mark.
