Taiwan president to meet senior officials on US tariffs, sources say

TAIPEI, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Taiwan President Lai Ching-te will hold a meeting of the National Security Council on Friday to discuss possible new U.S. tariffs as well as broader relations with the United States, two sources familiar with matter told Reuters.

The presidential office declined to comment.

U.S. President Donald Trump tasked his economics team on Thursday with devising plans for reciprocal tariffs on every country taxing U.S. imports, ramping up prospects for a global trade war with American friends and foes.
