The US and Taiwan will hold in-person trade talks in New York next week as they deepen ties despite opposition from China, which claims the island.
The “conceptual discussions” on the US-Taiwan Initiative on 21st Century Trade -- a plan first announced in June -- will take place on Nov. 8 and 9 and will involve representatives from the National Economic Council, Commerce and Treasury departments, the Office of the US Trade Representative, which will lead the delegation, said in a statement on its website Thursday.
