US made 'tough' requests to Vietnam in trade talks: Sources
HANOI: The US has sent a "long" list of "tough" requests to Vietnam in its tariff negotiations, including demands that could force the country to cut its reliance on Chinese industrial goods imports, two people briefed about the matter told Reuters. Washington wants Vietnam-based factories to reduce their use of materials and components from China and is asking the country to control more carefully its production and supply chains, one of the people briefed on the talks said, without elaborating on whether quantitative targets were included. The list is part of an "annex" to a framework text prepared by US negotiators, according to four people familiar with the matter. One of them, who had direct access to the document, said the list was sent to Hanoi at the end of May after the conclusion of a second round of talks with Washington aimed at avoiding 46% "reciprocal" tariffs on imports from Vietnam. The sources declined to be named because those discussions were not public. Reuters reported on Monday (June 2) that the Trump administration wants countries to provide their best offers on trade negotiations by Wednesday, citing a draft letter to negotiating partners. It was unclear which countries would receive the letter, but it was directed at those with active negotiations that included meetings and exchanges of documents. Washington has been engaged in such talks with countries including Vietnam, the European Union, Japan and India. The sources described the US requests to Vietnam as "tough" and "difficult". It is unclear how Hanoi will respond to Washington's requests and whether it will send its own proposal by Wednesday. The US Trade Representative did not respond to a request for comment outside US business hours. Vietnam's trade ministry did not reply to a request for comment. A source briefed on the matter said if US requests to effectively cut Vietnam's reliance on China were met, they could pose a serious challenge to the South-East Asian country's economy. Its sprawling manufacturing industry, which produces consumer goods including Apple devices and Nike shoes, is closely integrated into its much bigger neighbour's supply chains. It might also complicate Vietnam's long-standing policy of maintaining good relations with China, a major foreign investor but also a source of security concerns due to conflicting claims in the South China Sea. Vietnam has nearly tripled its exports to the United States since the start of the US-China trade war in 2018, when the first Trump administration imposed wide-ranging tariffs on Beijing, pushing some manufacturers to move production south. But as exports to the US boomed, Vietnam also vastly expanded imports from China, with their inflow almost exactly matching the value and swings of exports to the United States over the years, each totalling around US$140 billion in 2024, data from the US and Vietnam show. US officials have long accused Vietnam of being used as a waypoint for Chinese goods destined for the United States. At times, according to the allegations, goods had "Made in Vietnam" labels despite having received no or insufficient added value in the country - allowing Chinese exporters to avoid high US duties on their goods. Aware of the US criticism, Hanoi has launched a crackdown on illegal transhipment of goods. The effect has yet to be seen in trade flows, however, as exports to the United States and imports from China both reached a record high in April, according to the latest data. Vietnam has also repeatedly shown its willingness to reduce non-tariff barriers and to import more US goods, in line with long-standing requests from Washington. In recent weeks, officials have reiterated plans to buy US planes and have signed or pledged multiple non-binding agreements, including on the purchase of farm products and energy. That may, however, not be enough, as US negotiators seek real contracts, one of the people said. - Reuters

TSMC forecasts record profit in 2025 on soaring AI demand
TSMC has been in the crosshairs of Donald Trump, who has accused Taiwan of stealing the US chip industry. (AP pic) HSINCHU : Taiwanese chip titan Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) said today that it expected to see record earnings this year as it increased semiconductor production capacity to meet soaring demand for artificial intelligence (AI) technology. TSMC is the world's largest contract chipmaker and counts Nvidia and Apple among its clients. While US tariffs have had 'some' indirect impact on the firm, chairman and chief executive CC Wei said the AI business would remain 'very strong'. 'Our revenue and profit this year will set new historical highs,' he told the company's annual shareholders meeting. With AI demand 'very high', the company was trying to 'increase production capacity to satisfy our customers', Wei said. However, he denied reports that the company was planning to build factories in the Middle East. TSMC has been under pressure for years to move more of its production away from Taiwan, where the bulk of its fabrication plants are located, amid worries about China. Beijing claims the island is part of its territory and has threatened to use force to bring it under its control. The chip firm has in recent years broken ground for plants in the US, Europe and Japan. Bloomberg News, citing unnamed sources, reported last week that it was considering building an advanced facility in the UAE. 'I think rumours are really flying everywhere,' Wei said. TSMC last month reported sales of NT$349.6 billion (US$11.6 billion) for April, a rise of 48.1% from a year earlier and up 22.2% from March. The surge came after US President Donald Trump's global tariff blitz spurred companies to stock up, owing to fears that higher levies were in the pipeline. Wei told shareholders that TSMC's business 'may be affected' if tariffs force up prices and demand for chips falls, but he added, 'Our business will still be very good'. 'I am not afraid of anything, I am only afraid that the world economy will decline,' he added. TSMC has been in the crosshairs of Trump, who has accused Taiwan of stealing the US chip industry. There had been hopes TSMC's plan to invest an additional US$100 billion in the US would shield Taiwan from new tariffs. Trump still imposed a 32% duty on imports from the island as part of his sweeping tariffs – which were later paused for 90 days – but excluded semiconductors. Washington has launched 'national security' probes into the sector, which could pave the way for levies on chips and chipmaking equipment.
