Topics
Felix Amon: 我认为特朗普的关税政策反复无常,既不理性又造成了经济不确定性。他声称关税是为了阻止芬太尼流入美国,但这只是个借口,真正的目的是通过威胁关税来迫使企业在美国建厂。然而,这种策略并不奏效,因为企业不会为了短期政策而做出长期战略调整。 Emily Peck: 我同意Felix的观点。特朗普的关税政策是不合理的,它损害了美国与盟友的关系,并加剧了经济不确定性。他利用芬太尼问题作为实施关税的借口,但实际上这是一种政治策略,目的是通过制造不确定性来达到他的目的。 Elizabeth Spiers: 我认为特朗普将继续使用关税作为他的主要经济工具,因为他缺乏经济学知识,并且认为关税可以解决所有问题。一些关税会持续更长时间,而另一些则会很快取消。这将导致更高的关税制度,并对通货膨胀等产生影响。 Felix Amon: 特朗普的关税政策对加拿大总理特鲁多有利,因为这使得加拿大人民团结起来对抗美国。同时,墨西哥总统Claudia Scheinbaum也巧妙地利用了这一情况,与特朗普保持良好的关系,并最终取消了对墨西哥的关税。 Emily Peck: 我认为特朗普的关税政策对美国与加拿大和墨西哥的关系造成了损害。虽然特鲁多在政治上受益,但这种损害是长期的,并且会影响到北美的经济合作。 Elizabeth Spiers: 我认为特朗普的关税政策对美国与其他国家的政治关系造成了负面影响。虽然他与墨西哥总统Claudia Scheinbaum保持了良好的关系,但这并不能弥补他对其他盟友造成的损害。
