Mike Baker: 我报道了中美贸易战的最新进展，中国似乎正在对某些美国商品取消关税，因为关税对依赖出口的中国经济造成了严重损害。中国政府秘密地创建了一个免除关税的美国产品清单，这表明他们渴望缓和贸易战。中国已经开始对某些产品类别（包括航空、制药和半导体领域）给予关税豁免，并且存在一个更广泛的豁免“白名单”。中国对美国乙烷的进口依赖很大，这可能是中国取消关税的一个主要原因。中国政府正在私下联系符合条件的公司，并调查其他可能需要关税豁免的领域。中国政府通过这种秘密的方式，既能维持强硬的言辞，又能减轻贸易战带来的国内经济损失。特朗普的关税和中国的报复性关税对中国经济造成了严重打击，导致工厂停产和关闭。美国经济也受到了关税的影响，进口量下降，可能导致零售、卡车运输和物流部门的大规模裁员。 特朗普总统：我仍然对与中国达成公平贸易协议持乐观态度。我认为，对中国来说，这些关税是不可持续的，如果他们不做出让步，可能会导致中国损失数百万个就业岗位。 中国政府：中国政府的官方回应是保持沉默，但他们的行动表明他们正在寻求缓和贸易战，以减轻其经济的负面影响。 特朗普总统: 我认为与中国达成一项公平的贸易协议是可能的。美国财政部长也认为，对中国来说，目前的关税是不可持续的，如果他们不做出让步，可能会导致中国损失数百万个就业岗位。 中国政府: 中国政府没有公开承认或发布任何关于关税豁免的官方声明。然而，他们的行动表明，他们正在努力减轻关税对中国经济的负面影响，同时在公开场合保持强硬立场。

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: 

  • First, China is reportedly caving on tariffs, quietly issuing a list of U.S.-made products that are exempt from the duties as the financial impact wreaks havoc on their export dependent economy. But it's not all sunshine for the U.S. economy, which shrank over the first quarter of the year.

  • Later in the show—we’re learning more details about the pivotal meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Vatican on Saturday, and why it may cause the president to take a tougher stance against Russian strongman Vladimir Putin.
