Perdue also noted that a $14 billion military hardware sale for Taiwan is pending Donald Trump's signature.
Why it matters
The discussions highlight the strategic importance of Taiwan's semiconductor industry to the world. Maintaining military sales and allowing Taiwan's chip production to continue are cited as important U.S. interests. Xi Jinping is reportedly seeking favorable terms on trade and Taiwan.
