Katie Silver: 作为记者，我观察到美国对进口钢铁和铝加征关税的举动，无疑在全球贸易领域引发了新一轮的紧张。美国提高关税的举措可能会引起其主要贸易伙伴的报复，这使得全球贸易关系更加复杂。虽然特朗普总统试图通过关税来纠正贸易逆差，但许多国家通过达成双边协议避免了关税，使得这一策略的效果大打折扣。现在，美国希望通过高关税迫使企业购买美国产品，但如何在保证钢铁价格可承受的前提下实现这一目标，将是一个巨大的挑战。此外，虽然英国暂时可以免征关税，但这取决于与美国达成的双边协议是否能够顺利实施，这给英国的钢铁出口商带来了不确定性。 Rowan Crouser: 作为金属冲压专家，我深切感受到关税政策对我们业务带来的直接影响。由于关税政策的不确定性，我们的客户在远期规划和订单方面变得更加谨慎，这直接影响了我们的生产计划。我们的产品，无论是钢、铜还是其他金属，都需要很长的交货时间，这使得我们难以应对订单的延迟或临时变化。这种不确定性给我们的运营带来了额外的挑战，使我们难以有效地进行计划和预测。 Marky Booty: 作为前欧盟经济和金融事务总干事，我认为欧盟正在真诚地与美国进行贸易谈判，并暂停了之前宣布的对美国进口商品征收的关税。然而，与美国政府进行谈判本身就存在风险，因此欧盟必须明确应对谈判失败的预案。尽管欧洲在财政统一方面面临挑战，但欧盟在面临生存挑战时通常能够找到团结。我相信欧盟在谈判中拥有筹码，并应准备好在必要时使用这些筹码。此外，欧盟应该积极寻求与其他国家的合作，重建多边主义，并重新思考其商业和安全模式，以应对美国贸易政策带来的挑战。

Shownotes Transcript

From the BBC World Service: The U.S. is doubling tariffs on most imported steel and aluminum, raising them from 25% to 50%. The stakes are extremely high — around one quarter of all steel and half of all aluminum used in the U.S. is imported. Meanwhile, the European Commission is unveiling its 2026 budget proposal, and Wednesday marks the deadline the U.S. has set for countries to provide their best offer on trade negotiations. Plus, on International Cheese Day, we hear how Gen Z's tastes are changing.
