President Trump: 我认为与欧盟的谈判毫无进展，因此建议从2025年6月1日起对欧盟商品征收50%的关税。但欧盟随后主动联系，希望立即会面谈判，所以我同意暂停关税，以便有更多时间进行谈判。 Joe Sternberg: 我觉得特朗普的关税威胁更像是即兴发挥，因为与欧盟进行贸易谈判向来非常困难，欧盟由27个国家组成，要达成一致意见非常复杂。虽然欧盟委员会主席似乎承诺会更积极地协调，但目前还没有任何明确的协议或特朗普政府的具体要求。 Monet Ukwebaruwa: 我认为特朗普已经多次“狼来了”，市场对他的关税威胁已经有所免疫，反应并不像最初那样强烈。投资者已经学会对他的言论打折扣，因为他经常在最后关头退让。尽管如此，我们不能忽视他可能随时再次采取行动的风险，投资者需要时刻警惕。
