共和黨失去傳統(tǒng)盟友,,美國(guó)商會(huì)反對(duì)特朗普關(guān)稅政策
據(jù)路透社上周一報(bào)道,美國(guó)商界大型游說(shuō)組織美國(guó)商會(huì)以往一直是共和黨堅(jiān)定的盟友,,如今卻要發(fā)起運(yùn)動(dòng)反對(duì)總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普最近出臺(tái)的貿(mào)易關(guān)稅政策,。根據(jù)對(duì)國(guó)內(nèi)各州的分析,美國(guó)商會(huì)認(rèn)為新關(guān)稅有引爆全球貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn),,將傷害本國(guó)國(guó)民,。 美國(guó)商會(huì)會(huì)長(zhǎng)湯姆·唐納休在一份致路透社的聲明中表示:“(特朗普)政府政策對(duì)之前得來(lái)不易的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展造成威脅。我們應(yīng)該追求自由的公平貿(mào)易,,現(xiàn)在的做法卻背道而馳,。” 去年12月,,美國(guó)商會(huì)的300萬(wàn)會(huì)員企業(yè)曾非常支持特朗普推出的企業(yè)減稅舉措,,但自從特朗普高呼對(duì)中國(guó)、加拿大,、墨西哥和歐盟施加新的關(guān)稅以來(lái),,美國(guó)商會(huì)與其日漸疏遠(yuǎn)。該組織希望通過(guò)商務(wù)部和被征關(guān)稅國(guó)家的數(shù)據(jù)向特朗普說(shuō)明,貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)將傷害美國(guó)民眾,,特別是在歷來(lái)支持他的州,。 美國(guó)商會(huì)預(yù)計(jì),美國(guó)出口商品將面臨幾十億美元的報(bào)復(fù)性關(guān)稅,,具體來(lái)說(shuō),,得克薩斯、田納西和南卡羅來(lái)納三個(gè)州分別價(jià)值39億美元,、14億美元和30億美元的出口商品可能成為關(guān)稅攻擊目標(biāo),。 從近來(lái)聲稱(chēng)要反擊美國(guó)關(guān)稅的其他國(guó)家政府表現(xiàn)來(lái)看,該預(yù)測(cè)不無(wú)根據(jù),。為回應(yīng)特朗普政府的鋼鋁關(guān)稅,,加拿大宣布對(duì)價(jià)值126億美元的美國(guó)商品施加關(guān)稅,于7月1日生效,。歐盟已經(jīng)針對(duì)波旁威士忌,、哈雷戴維斯摩托車(chē)等32億美元的美國(guó)商品征稅。中國(guó)料將對(duì)美國(guó)大豆征25%的關(guān)稅,,墨西哥將對(duì)美國(guó)豬肉加征關(guān)稅,。 近幾個(gè)月來(lái),這已不是美國(guó)商會(huì)第一次和特朗普唱反調(diào),。上月唐納休發(fā)布聲明,,要求特朗普政府停止造成移民家庭在邊境線(xiàn)骨肉分離的“零容忍”政策。他還呼吁國(guó)會(huì)立法議員保護(hù)兒時(shí)便進(jìn)入美國(guó)的移民——所謂“夢(mèng)想者”(因?yàn)樘乩势諒U除了奧巴馬執(zhí)政時(shí)頒布的暫緩遣返兒時(shí)抵美移民的政策),。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)我) 譯者:Pessy 審校:夏林 |
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, usually a staunch ally of the Republican party, is launching a campaign against President Donald Trump’s recent trade tariff policies, Reuters reported last Monday. With state-by-state analysis, the business lobbying giant argues the new tariffs risk a global trade war that will harm Americans. “The administration is threatening to undermine the economic progress it worked so hard to achieve,” said Chamber President Tom Donohue in a statement to Reuters. “We should seek free and fair trade, but this is just not the way to do it.” The chamber’s three million members applauded Trump’s business tax cuts in December, but the organization has distanced itself from the president since his call for new tariffs against China, Canada, Mexico, and the European Union. With data from the U.S. Department of Commerce and government agencies in the countries hit by the new tariffs, the chamber hopes to show the president that his trade war will hurt Americans—particularly those in states historically loyal to Trump. The chamber found that U.S. exports will face billions of dollars in retaliatory tariffs. Specifically, Texas could see $3.9 billion worth of exports targeted, Tennessee could see $1.4 billion targeted, and South Carolina could see $3 billion targeted. These estimates are backed by foreign government statements promising action against the tariffs. On July 1st, Canada’s measures against $12.6 billion worth of American goods went into effect in response to Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs. The EU has already targeted $3.2 billion of American goods like bourbon and Harley-Davidson motorcycles. China is expected to implement a 25% tax on soybeans and Mexico is adding taxes to pork imports. This is not the first time the chamber has clashed with Trump in recent months. Last month, Donohue issued a statement calling for the end of the administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy leading to the separation of families at the border. He also asked lawmakers to provide protection for Dreamers (those in the U.S. on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy). |
