AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoUS-China Summit Fallout: Trump left Beijing calling the talks “fantastic,” saying Xi agreed Iran can’t get nuclear weapons and that the Strait of Hormuz must stay open—while markets got mostly warm words and modest deal talk, including China’s reported plan to buy 200 Boeing jets. Taiwan Warning: Xi’s sharpest message was Taiwan: mishandling it, he warned, could trigger “clashes and even conflicts,” keeping Taiwan the summit’s biggest risk line even as the White House readouts leaned elsewhere. Defense Budget Fight at Home: In Taipei, the DPP and KMT sparred over how to fund weapons excluded from a supplementary defense bill—drones, unmanned vessels, counter-drone systems, and TTN/TAK—forcing the Cabinet to weigh new budget routes. Cybersecurity Shock: Foxconn confirmed a Nitrogen-linked cyberattack hit North American facilities, with production resuming but the supply-chain exposure now front and center. AI/Chips Momentum: TSMC doubled down on the AI-driven chip shift, projecting global semiconductor revenue rising toward $1.5T by 2030, while Universal Cement reported higher FY25 profit.
