Stephen Carroll: 我们已经与多个国家达成了贸易协议，并且正在积极推进更多协议的谈判，一切进展顺利，正如我们预期。我们计划在90天内达成90个协议，针对每个国家的不同情况，量身定制贸易方案，以应对它们各自提出的独特挑战。 Rosalind Mathieson: 特朗普政府的贸易策略旨在兑现“让美国再次伟大”的承诺，通过振兴国内就业和制造业，将美国置于全球经济的中心地位。为了向选民展示他正在履行竞选承诺，特朗普需要迅速达成一系列贸易协议，即使这些协议目前还只是初步框架。此外，特朗普坚信美国在过去失去了贸易优势，因此他试图通过贸易攻势来重新平衡国际贸易关系，夺回美国应有的杠杆作用。与以往的贸易策略不同，特朗普将所有国家视为竞争对手，模糊了贸易、政治和安全之间的界限，并且决策风格多变，这使得与其他国家达成协议变得更加复杂。目前达成的协议多为框架性的谅解备忘录，缺乏具体的细节，这可能导致实施过程中的混乱和争议。其他国家可能会效仿这种“贸易轻型”的方式，先达成初步协议，将细节留待以后讨论，以避免贸易战的升级。然而，这种策略的有效性取决于国家自身的影响力，小国可能难以像美国那样利用贸易杠杆来达成协议。
