Mike Baker: 我是迈克·贝克，本期节目将讨论美中贸易战的最新进展，以及美国南部边境的移民问题。中国暂停出口稀土矿物和磁铁，对美国汽车制造商、航空航天制造商、半导体公司和军工企业造成严重影响。中国此举是对特朗普政府145%关税的报复。美国公司没有足够的稀土储备，这将导致生产中断。中国还命令其航空公司停止向波音订购飞机，并停止购买美国公司的飞机设备，这将对波音公司的股价和美国经济产生负面影响。 此外，美国南部边境的非法移民数量在特朗普政府执政期间降至历史低点。3月份的非法入境人数比2024年3月下降了95%。美国海关和边境保护局将此归功于特朗普政府的强硬执法措施，包括加强巡逻和遣返。达里恩峡谷的非法移民数量也大幅下降。 总而言之，中国在稀土出口方面的行动是其对美中贸易战最严厉的回应，可能对美国经济造成灾难性影响。而美国南部边境非法移民数量的下降则被视为特朗普政府强硬移民政策的成功。 Drew Horn: 中国已经对稀土材料建立了强大的垄断地位，他们有能力切断美国和世界的供应，现在他们正在这么做。稀土材料应用广泛，对美国工业至关重要，因此中国的这一举动将对美国经济产生重大影响。

  • Later in the show—we turn to the southern border, where according to new data from US Customs and Border Protection, illegal migrant crossings have plummeted to a record low under the Trump administration.
