Luke Vargas: 作为主持人,我报道了美国对进口钢铁和铝的关税翻了一番,直接导致行业内对价格上涨和潜在短缺的担忧。这一举措不仅可能影响国内市场,还会对国际贸易关系产生深远影响,尤其是在与其他国家进行贸易谈判时。汽车制造商可能因此考虑将零部件生产转移到中国,这与将制造业带回美国的初衷背道而驰。此外,韩国新总统的策略也可能使美国在贸易和安全问题上遏制中国的努力变得复杂。 Kim McRaehl: 作为记者,我身处巴黎,报道了欧盟对美国提高关税的反应。欧盟认为这一变化是不方便的,可能会阻碍正在进行的贸易谈判。欧盟官员警告说,美国进一步提高关税可能会导致报复,即对美国商品征收关税。欧盟正在努力提高经济增长,提高关税对其造成了影响,尤其是在其试图加强国防制造业基础的情况下,因为国防制造业严重依赖金属生产。
