特朗普总统:我正在与中国达成一项公平的协议,关税将会大幅下降。145%的关税太高了,不会维持这个水平。 虽然我还没有改变政策,但我正在改变我的语气。如果我们不能与中国达成协议,我们将单方面设定关税税率。我无意解雇美联储主席鲍威尔,但我希望他能更积极地降低利率。 我正在向乌克兰施压,要求其接受一项美国支持的和平协议,但泽连斯基拒绝承认克里米亚属于俄罗斯。他正在阻止一项和平协议,这可能会导致乌克兰输给俄罗斯。 我签署了一系列行政命令,目标是高等教育和K-12学校。这些命令旨在消除大学的DEI项目,并结束大学项目的外国资金。我们相信,包括哈佛大学在内的一些大学,经常违反这项法律,而这项法律并没有得到有效的执行。我们将对大学的意识形态过度扩张进行问责,并增加校园的思想多样性。我们将废除旨在减少种族差距的政策,并禁止使用‘种族偏好’的纪律政策。 Asma Khalid:特朗普政府承认高关税率不可持续,总统表示关税率将大幅下降。这可能是由于经济担忧和市场波动造成的。持续的威胁和立场摇摆可能无法促成与中国的真正谈判。 特朗普政府对乌克兰施压,要求其接受一项美国支持的和平协议,但泽连斯基拒绝承认克里米亚属于俄罗斯,导致特朗普对其进行抨击。 Charles Mainz:白宫提出的和平计划明显偏向俄罗斯,而泽连斯基拒绝承认克里米亚属于俄罗斯是导致冲突的主要原因。俄罗斯认为特朗普只是承认了俄罗斯通过武力获得的领土,并没有给予俄罗斯任何让步。俄罗斯对乌克兰问题立场强硬,但在其他问题上(例如投资、囚犯交换、与伊朗的谈判)却表现出灵活性,这使得美国难以与俄罗斯脱离关系。 Alyssa Nadrani:特朗普签署了一系列行政命令,目标是高等教育和K-12学校。这些命令旨在改革大学认证制度,要求大学更全面地披露外国资金,并修改学校纪律指导方针,废除旨在减少种族差距的政策,并禁止使用‘种族偏好’的纪律政策。特朗普政府的目标是让大学认证制度更注重大学的实际成果,而不是其‘觉醒’程度。特朗普政府试图通过行政命令来问责大学的意识形态偏差,并增加校园的思想多样性。

President Trump's recent softening of his stance on tariffs imposed on China raises questions about whether this change in tone signals an actual shift in policy. While the high tariff rates are acknowledged as unsustainable, the extent of the potential policy change remains unclear, with experts offering differing perspectives on the likelihood of a true truce with China.
  • Trump's statement that 145% tariffs on Chinese goods are 'very high' and 'not going to be that high'.
  • Concerns about the long-term sustainability of high tariff rates and their potential to halt trade between the U.S. and China.
  • The impact of tariffs on the stock market and economic uncertainty.
  • Differing opinions on whether the change is merely rhetorical or reflects a genuine policy shift.
