Second, Miles covers the recent trade agreement between the US and Taiwan following months of negotiations, the terms involved, and the significance of this deal for the semiconductor and AI sectors. Finally, Miles reviews Prime Minister Mark Carney’s state visit to Beijing last week and the various outcomes including the preliminary trade deal and economic cooperation framework.
