Roger Hearing: 我认为,特朗普政府的关税政策旨在重新调整不公平的贸易安排,迫使其他国家达成新的、更公平的协议。英国似乎是第一个完成这一旅程的美国贸易伙伴。 Erin Delmore: 美英贸易协议对双方都有好处,但细节仍不明确,例如对组件商品的关税计算方式等。目前协议细节尚不明确,许多问题有待解决,例如制药行业和数字服务税等。 David Hennick: 美英贸易协议对英国经济有益,但不会带来根本性的改变。美英贸易协议并非全面协议,而是涵盖特定时间和特定事项的有限协议。英国与美国达成贸易协议,部分原因是英国脱欧后能够直接与美国谈判。尽管美英贸易协议对英国有利,但其经济效益远小于英国脱欧造成的经济损失。欧盟对英国与美国达成贸易协议既有嫉妒,也有希望在未来与美国达成更好的协议。美英贸易协议不会影响英国与欧盟之间的谈判。 Kerry Leahy: 市场对美英贸易协议持积极态度,认为这预示着未来可能达成更多贸易协议。如果美国关税保持在较低水平,市场将表现良好;如果关税过高,则会对市场和美国经济造成破坏性影响。 Donald Trump: 此次协议将为价值数十亿美元的美国出口产品(特别是牛肉和乙醇等产品)提供更大的市场准入。此次协议包括数十亿美元的美国出口市场准入增加,尤其是在农业领域,极大地增加了美国牛肉、乙醇以及我们伟大农民生产的几乎所有产品的准入。
