Geopolitics meets AI supply chains: Nvidia’s visit lands alongside AMD’s $10B+ Taiwan AI ecosystem push and the wider “agentic AI” shift that’s pulling CPUs back to center stage. Food sovereignty, not just food security: Taiwan’s ambassador to St. Vincent and the Grenadines backed a youth-smart agriculture project, echoing a push to reduce import dependence.
