Energy, Aircraft and Power: $85 Billion in Commitments

The agreement is anchored by major purchase commitments from Taiwan.

Over four years, Taiwan plans to buy:

  • $44.4 billion in liquefied natural gas and crude oil

  • $15.2 billion in civil aircraft and engines

  • $25.2 billion in power equipment, power grids, materials, generators, storage facilities, marine equipment, steel-making equipment and other machinery

Taken together, the commitments approach $85 billion — spanning energy, aviation and infrastructure, sectors central to U.S. industrial output.

Ambassador Jamieson Greer said the agreement “will eliminate tariff and non-tariff barriers facing U.S. exports to Taiwan,” expanding opportunities for American farmers, ranchers, fishermen, workers, small businesses and manufacturers.

He added that the deal strengthens a long-standing economic partnership and will bolster supply chain resilience, particularly in high-technology industries — a sector increasingly viewed as strategic terrain in global trade competition.
