Alec Phillips: 法院的裁决主要基于两点:一是认为特朗普政府的关税规模过大且无限制,与国会权力有所冲突;二是认为对加拿大、中国、墨西哥的贩运关税与相关法律不符。我认为,虽然这个裁决来得有些突然,但其方向并不令人震惊。政府可能会寻求其他途径来维持关税政策,例如利用1974年贸易法第122条实施临时关税,或启动多项301调查。然而,这些措施都存在一定的局限性。我不认为特朗普政府会因此放弃关税政策,他们仍然倾向于实施某种形式的全面关税。但裁决可能会促使政府更多地关注其他形式的关税,例如对特定贸易伙伴或行业的限制性关税。此外,市场可能已经开始关注财政问题,因此这一裁决可能会增加关税的不确定性,对风险资产不利。总的来说,我认为这个裁决对贸易谈判和财政政策都产生了一定的影响,但具体影响还有待进一步观察。
