Frankfurt signs Japan winger Ritsu Doan for its Champions League return
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Eintracht Frankfurt has signed Japanese winger Ritsu Doan to strengthen a squad depleted by the sale of Hugo Ekitiké as it prepares to return to the Champions League. Doan joins on a five-year contract from fellow German club Freiburg, where he was top scorer with 10 goals as the team placed fifth in the Bundesliga. 'I'm very happy and honored to be here,' Doan said in a translated video message to Frankfurt fans. 'I can't wait to play in front of the supporters.' Frankfurt is heading back to the Champions League this season after a third-place Bundesliga finish but will have a new-look attack after striker Ekitiké was sold to Liverpool for a fee of 69 million pounds ($93.5 million). The 27-year-old Doan will be expected to team up with another new signing for Ekitiké's center-forward role, ex-Mainz striker Jonathan Burkardt. Doan won the Dutch Cup with PSV Eindhoven in 2022 and has played 57 games for the Japanese national team. That includes all of its games at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and a role in securing qualification for next year's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Doan could make his Frankfurt debut Aug. 17 in a German Cup game against fifth-tier Engers. Frankfurt's first Bundesliga game of the season is six days later at home to Werder Bremen. ___ AP soccer:

TSMC Hits Record; Taiwan Says Tech Giant Exempt From US Tariffs
(Bloomberg) -- Taiwan said its leading chip manufacturer will not have to pay a 100% tariff on sales to the US, helping drive Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. shares to a record. All Hail the Humble Speed Hump Mayor Asked to Explain $1.4 Billion of Wasted Johannesburg Funds Three Deaths Reported as NYC Legionnaires' Outbreak Spreads Major Istanbul Projects Are Stalling as City Leaders Sit in Jail PATH Train Service Resumes After Fire at Jersey City Station 'TSMC is exempted from the chip tariffs because it has set up plants in the US,' Liu Chin-ching, minister in charge of the National Development Council, said in Taipei on Thursday. As for other Taiwanese companies that may be affected by the levies, they 'shall continue to stay ahead' if competitors face the same charges. The US government has also expressed willingness to continue negotiations with Taiwan on tariff issues, Liu added. The government still expects economic growth in 2025 to reach the level of 3.1%, despite the impact of the new levies, Liu said. TSMC manufactures the most advanced chips used in artificial intelligence, and the island's technology exports drove growth to a blistering 7.96% in the second quarter, the fastest pace in four years. The trillion-dollar company accounts for almost 40% of the weight of Taiwan's benchmark stock index, and its rally Thursday helped lift the broader benchmark. TSMC's shares rose 4.89% to a record NT$1,180 Thursday, helping the island's benchmark stock index outperform regional peers with a 2.4% gain. The Taiwan dollar also rallied as much as 0.9% against the greenback. United Microelectronics Corp., Taiwan's second-largest chipmaker, may also reduce the impact of tariffs through its cooperation with Intel Corp., Liu said. 'Investors had been apprehensive while awaiting the tariff rate for semiconductors, but exemptions for Taiwan's largest company have allayed concerns,' said Khoon Goh, head of Asia research at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group. 'Foreign equity inflows on the back of this news have helped pushed TWD stronger. With the dividend repatriation flows now largely complete, and with the USD back under pressure again, we could see further appreciation in TWD near-term.' On Wednesday, Trump said he would impose a 100% tariff on semiconductor imports, but cited Apple Inc. as an example of a company that won't have to pay levies because of its investment in the US. 'If you're building in the United States of America, there's no charge,' Trump said. 'Even though you're building and you're not producing yet.' In March, TSMC announced an additional $100 billion investment in the US, with three more fabs, two advanced packaging facilities and a research and development center in Arizona, raising its total investment in the US to $165 billion. The US recently imposed a 20% tariff on goods from Taiwan, but said the chip sector would be treated separately. That levy is higher than the 15% Taiwan's main regional competitors like Japan and South Korea both secured. Still, companies and governments continue to scramble to assess the impact of Trump's various tariff announcements. South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. has chip fabs in Texas and is joining Apple's 'American Manufacturing Program,' making it well-positioned to avoid tariffs. But the government of Malaysia, a significant semiconductor exporter, on Thursday said it has reached out to the US seeking clarity on the tariffs. Malaysia's chip industry is unlikely to be severely impacted, the Star separately reported, citing Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. Most of the companies in Malaysia's chip industry are US-based or have committed to continue their investments and production in the world's largest economy. --With assistance from Betty Hou, Wenjin Lv, Anisah Shukry and Netty Ismail.
