Mike Baker: 我报道了特朗普政府暂停大部分全球贸易战关税，但对中国例外，反而大幅提高了对中国的关税，这引发了市场波动和国际关注。美国财政部长斯科特·贝森认为此举是必要的，因为中国的经济严重依赖于贸易顺差，而特朗普政府认为此举对中国经济的冲击将大于对美国经济的冲击。中国则谴责美国的做法，并表示将采取反制措施。 此外，我还报道了拜登政府隐瞒了一份国会要求的报告，该报告显示，早在2019年10月，就有几名美国军人在中国武汉感染了COVID-19。这份报告与拜登政府此前的公开声明相矛盾，引发了人们对政府透明度和问责制的质疑。报告的隐瞒也加剧了关于COVID-19起源的争议，为病毒可能源于武汉实验室的说法提供了新的证据。一些专家认为，政府的隐瞒行为是不可接受的，应该受到谴责。

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

 

  • First, Trump pumps the breaks on his global trade war, announcing a 90 day pause on most of his reciprocal tariffs. But he’s not granting China a reprieve, instead hiking their tariff to an eye-watering 125 percent.

  • Later in the show, we are learning that the Biden administration allegedly concealed a congressionally mandated report revealing that several U.S. military service members contracted COVID-19 in Wuhan, China in October of 2019, contradicting the former administration’s public claims about when the virus started circulating.
