Topics
@播音员 : 特朗普的"解放日"政策导致美国股市暴跌,引发民众恐慌性抢购,经济形势严峻。 @Abdullah Fayyad : 特朗普的关税政策目标复杂,既包括保护国内产业,也涉及贸易谈判和增加政府收入。关税政策的实施方式存在问题,过度依赖关税会造成比收益更大的成本,最终损害消费者利益,导致通货膨胀。 @Noelle King : 特朗普政府的关税政策缺乏针对性,如同"滥用猎枪而非手术刀",可能导致供应短缺和物价上涨。对进口汽车征收关税的政策,表面上旨在促进美国汽车销售,但实际上却导致美国汽车生产成本上升,最终损害消费者利益。特朗普政府声称关税能为美国带来巨额收入的说法缺乏依据,因为关税既不能替代所得税,又作为谈判筹码而缺乏稳定性。特朗普的关税政策将对美国经济产生负面影响,导致物价上涨,并可能引发民众对经济稳定的担忧。 @Mike Bird : 特朗普的关税政策对亚洲国家影响深远,引发了不同程度的反应,部分国家表示强烈不满,部分国家则较为谨慎。特朗普政府关于关税互惠的论点缺乏数据支持,其所使用的数字与实际关税率之间没有关联性。中国对特朗普政府的关税政策早有准备,并采取了相应的策略,例如将部分生产转移到东南亚。特朗普对盟友国家征收高额关税,将损害美国与其盟友之间的合作关系,并可能促使这些国家与中国加强合作。美国与亚洲盟友关系的恶化,为中国提供了提升国际影响力的机会。 supporting_evidences Abdullah Fayyad: 'As of Liberation Day and this big announcement, do you understand what his philosophy on tariffs is? It's really hard to understand why...' Noelle King: 'So economists will often tell you that tariffs are a tool...' Mike Bird: 'And Mike's first response when he heard the list of tariffs yesterday. They really are very, very steep...'
