WASHINGTON/TAIPEI -- The U.S. and Taiwan said Wednesday that they have established a new platform for trade negotiations geared toward the digital economy and the environment, providing a parallel track to the American-led Indo-Pacific Economic Framework.

The first meeting of the U.S.-Taiwan Initiative on 21st-Century Trade, a bilateral framework between the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and Taiwanese authorities, will be held in Washington during the second half of June.
