On February 20, 2026, US-Taiwan Business Council President Rupert Hammond-Chambers spoke about the U.S.-Taiwan Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART) at “Toward a Stronger US-Taiwan Partnership: Unpacking the Agreement on Reciprocal Trade,” a panel discussion hosted by The Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C.

Mr. Hammond-Chambers was joined by Riley Walters, Senior Fellow at The Hudson Institute, who served as moderator, along with Bonnie Glaser, Managing Director, German Marshall Fund of the US.

In announcing the event, The Hudson Institute said:

On February 12, officials from the United States and Taiwan signed the Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART), a trade deal that “reflects both sides’ ambition to increase bilateral investment and commercial opportunities.”

The deal removes significant tariff and non-tariff barriers, accelerates bilateral trade through an increase of sales of US goods to Taiwan, and expands on an investment deal announced a month ago in which Taipei committed to funding and financing up to $500 billion in new investment in the United States.

Join Hudson for an expert panel on why these deals are so important for both nations, what they mean for the future of US supply chains, and what potential challenges remain for implementing these deals.

The US-Taiwan Business Council thanks The Hudson Institute for including us in this important and timely discussion on the U.S.-Taiwan Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART).
