Donald Trump may be about to fight the wrong trade war — again. Even as the US president claims to be making real progress with trade negotiations in China, the commerce department is set to give him confidential recommendations on his Section 232 auto investigations, which could allow him to use national security as cover for new tariffs on foreign vehicles. Mr Trump has 90 days to act on them, but many insiders believe there’s a good chance he will act sooner than that and launch auto tariffs on the EU and Japan.
唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)也许将再次发动一场错误的贸易战。就在他声称在manbetx3.0 举行的贸易谈判取得了切实进展之际,美国商务部即将援引“232条款”(Section 232)汽车调查的结果向特朗普提出保密建议,此举可能让他得以利用国家安全理由对外国汽车加征新关税。特朗普有90天的时间依据建议采取行动,但许多内部人士认为,他很有可能在这一期限之前行动,对欧盟和日本加征汽车关税。
