A Taiwan trade delegation will continue talks with the United States on tariffs in Washington, four people familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.

The nation’s trade deficit in goods sank 11% in June to a 22-month low as U.S. companies grappled with on-again, off-again Trump tariffs, a pattern that’s likely to play out at over least a few more months.

The Trump administration touts tariffs as part of a wider set of "America First economic policies," which have "sparked trillions of dollars in new investment in U.S. manufacturing, technology, and infrastructure," according to the White House's website.

The White House wants to cut trade deficits and attract foreign investment — but the dollars foreign investors use come from U.S. imports. That means doing both at once may be mathematically impossible. Trade math doesn't lie.
