Leanna Byrne: 美英达成了新的关税协议，降低了汽车和钢铁等商品的关税，并允许一定数量的牛肉免税贸易。但这只是部分商品，大部分英国商品仍然面临10%的关税。 William Bain: 这项协议为汽车、钢铁和铝等关键经济领域提供了急需的关税减免。但我们仍关注其他行业，例如服装和工业产品，它们仍然面临额外10%的关税，我们将继续努力争取进一步降低这些关税。 Liz Webster: 牛肉贸易协议引发了英国农民的担忧，他们认为难以与更便宜的进口牛肉竞争。英国是一个人口众多的小岛国，在与大型食品生产商的竞争中处于劣势。 Darren Jones: 英国政府致力于保护电影和制药等行业免受关税的影响。英国药品在美供应链中发挥着重要作用，双方互惠互利。在电影方面，以及更广泛的创意艺术领域，例如音乐、戏剧或艺术本身，我们知道这是英国的一大出口产业，深受全球数百万人喜爱，我们将继续努力保护这些产业，这不仅是为了英国生产这些商品和服务的公司，也是为了包括美国人民在内的数百万人。 Katie Silver: 中国4月份对美国的出口比去年同期下降了21%，这与两国正在进行的贸易谈判有关。 Oscar García Maceres: Zara呼吁创造公平的竞争环境，要求对所有竞争对手实行相同的规则，以应对来自中国等低价在线零售商的竞争。 supporting_evidences William Bain: 'It provides tariff relief, which is much needed in key sectors of the economy, like automotive, steel and aluminium products. ... But we are very mindful that there are many other industries, from clothing to industrial products, which still face these additional 10% tariffs. And we are not going to abandon our ambition to see those tariffs reduced further.' Liz Webster: 'I'm very sceptical about doing deals with America in particular or any big food producers who've got a huge advantage over us. We're a small island with a big population.' Darren Jones: 'We want to protect those sectors in the UK. British pharmaceuticals play an important role in the American supply chain, so there's already mutual benefit there. ... And we want to be able to continue to share that. I think President Trump said yesterday that James Bond has got nothing to worry about. And of course, we're going to continue to make the case to protect that, both in the interest of companies in the UK that produce these goods and services, but also to the millions of people, including the American people that enjoy the benefits.' Katie Silver: 'Now, China says its exports to the US fell by 21% in April compared to the previous year.' Oscar García Maceres: 'What we have been asking for is a level playing field everywhere in order to have the same set of rules for any single competitors.'
