Taiwan said more trade talks with the US will be held this week, while also hitting back at domestic speculation that the self-run democracy had already received a tariff letter from the US.

The announcement on an upcoming fourth round of trade discussions was made by cabinet spokesperson Michelle Lee in a statement Monday. She said that Taipei was “committed to pursuing balanced bilateral trade and enhancing mutual benefit between Taiwan and the US,” while protecting the economy’s interests and industry.
