NEW YORK -- The U.S. and Taiwan on Friday signed a memorandum of understanding to promote bilateral economic cooperation as both sides contemplate a bilateral trade agreement during President Donald Trump's final weeks in office.

This opened the inaugural U.S.-Taiwan Economic Prosperity Partnership Dialogue, which is being held physically and virtually, where a Taiwanese delegation and American officials have discussed issues including clean 5G development, supply chain restructuring, energy and infrastructure.
