Topics
播音员: 本期节目探讨了特朗普第二任期的特点,以及由此带来的各种挑战。 特朗普以其强硬的贸易政策和打破常规的风格而闻名,这些都将对全球经济和地缘政治格局产生深远的影响。 Kim Darroch: 我对美英贸易协议持谨慎乐观态度。一方面,美国对英国征收关税缺乏正当理由,因为美国对英国存在贸易顺差。另一方面,英国可能需要在数字税、网络安全法案以及与欧盟的关系等问题上做出重大让步。这些让步可能会对英国经济增长造成负面影响,因为与欧盟保持良好的贸易关系对英国至关重要。此外,美国还可能要求英国在农业和监管方面与美国保持一致,这也会对英国的产业造成冲击。 关于中美贸易战,我认为中国有能力应对美国的贸易行为,并且中国也存在不公平贸易行为。然而,美中贸易战对全球贸易有害,可能会导致中国向其他市场倾销商品。因此,我们需要密切关注这一情况,并在必要时采取行动。 特朗普政府的政策变化可能具有持久影响,美国将进一步减少对欧洲的参与,并更加关注亚洲。北约将继续存在,但欧洲将在其中扮演更重要的角色。 关于对丘吉尔的负面评价以及对乌克兰战争的处理方式,我认为这反映了美国与英国之间价值观差异的加剧。然而,特朗普本人对丘吉尔持正面态度。在乌克兰问题上,特朗普政府最初似乎倾向于促成一项对乌克兰不利的和平协议,但其立场后来发生了转变,目前似乎更倾向于支持乌克兰。 关于伊朗核协议,我认为伊朗核计划对欧洲构成重大威胁,并希望特朗普政府能够达成一项新的协议,即使这项协议与之前的JCPOA协议类似,也比没有协议要好。 最后,与特朗普第一任期相比,他的第二任期政府内部更加团结,信息泄露的情况也减少了。但是,一些分歧和泄密事件仍然存在。

Shownotes Transcript

Lord Kim Darroch, former UK ambassador to the US, joins Venetia Rainey to talk Trump 1.0 vs 2.0, trade wars and Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. 

The Telegraph revealed this week that the US could finalise a trade deal with the UK within three weeks). That comes on the back of comments from JD Vance about how much Trump loves the UK and that a deal is highly likely. So what could that deal look like? And what would the potential costs be for the UK?

While he was ambassador to the US between 2016 and 2019, Lord Darroch also had direct experience of Trump’s first trade war with China. He talks about how this one might go and what it would mean for Britain.

Plus, Lord Darroch shares his insights on why we need a new Iran nuclear deal, how Nato can survive the US’ shift away from Europe, and why Trump loves Churchill - even if members of his circle increasingly don’t).
