白宮首席經(jīng)濟顧問加里·科恩將辭職。他也是最近一系列高調(diào)離開特朗普團隊的官員之一。在聲明中,他表示很榮幸能夠在特朗普政府為國效力。傳言稱他對特朗普表示不滿,特朗普此舉或?qū)⒁l(fā)貿(mào)易戰(zhàn),特朗普計劃對進口鋼鋁征收關(guān)稅,以下是尼克·布蘭特從華盛頓發(fā)回的報道。加里·科恩曾是高盛總裁,隨后成為特朗普政府的首席經(jīng)濟顧問,但是據(jù)稱他對特朗普極度不滿,特朗普甚至對親密盟友征收進口鐵鋁關(guān)稅,并失去了與經(jīng)濟民族主義者博弈的機會。在他發(fā)表離職聲明當天,特朗普稱喜歡看到白宮工作人員存在爭執(zhí),稱白宮內(nèi)部沒有亂成一團。
President Trump has accused the European Union of making it impossible for the United States to do business with the bloc. During a news conference in Washington with the Swedish Prime Minister, Mr. Trump insisted he was still planning to impose big tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum. He said if the EU responded to this, his government would impose heavy taxes on European cars. The European Union has been particularly tough on the United States. They make it almost impossible for us to do business with them and yet they send their cars and everything else back into the United States. And they can do whatever they'd like, but if they do that, then we put a big tax of 25% on their cars and believe me, they won't be doing it very long. The European Union has not treated us well. He reiterated his view that if there was a trade war, the United States would win it,but he also said America would conduct such a dispute in a loving way.
特朗普指責歐盟稱,歐盟貿(mào)易準則使得美國無法與其展開貿(mào)易往來。特朗普在華盛頓與瑞典首相舉行新聞發(fā)布會,特朗普堅稱他仍計劃對進口鋼鋁征收關(guān)稅。他表示如果歐盟對此做出反擊,美國政府將會對歐盟進口汽車課以重稅。歐盟對美國的態(tài)度一直都極其強硬。我們很難與歐盟展開貿(mào)易往來,但是他們還是每年把汽車和其他產(chǎn)品賣到美國。他們可以為所欲為,但是一旦這么做了,我們將會對歐洲汽車征收25%的關(guān)稅,相信我,他們這樣是做不長的,歐盟一直以來對我們都不好。他重申道如果出現(xiàn)貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)爭,美國也會取勝,但是他也說到,美國將會以友善的方式處理本次爭議。
Mexico's Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo has said his government is prepared to retaliate against the US if it pushes ahead with steel and aluminum tariffs. He said Mexico would respond by imposing tariffs on the most politically sensitive American goods.
墨西哥經(jīng)濟部長愛德房瑟•瓜哈爾多表示稱,墨西哥已經(jīng)準備好反擊,如果美國執(zhí)意要征收鐵鋁關(guān)稅。稱墨西哥將對最具政治敏感的美國產(chǎn)品征收關(guān)稅。
