特朗普政府周四晚间宣布对80多个国家实施新的关税政策,税率从10%到12.5%不等,将于周五生效 [1][2]。美国贸易代表Jamieson Greer公布了该政策 [2]。
新关税以《贸易法》第301条为依据,针对从事强迫劳动的国家 [2],用以替代即将到期的10%全球关税 [2]。特朗普表示,"美国在关税上支付的比例过高,提高关税税率对促进美国制造业和就业是必要的" [1]。
此举是特朗普绕过国会继续推行全球关税政策的最新举措 [1]。值得注意的是,美国最高法院曾在2月份裁定特朗普非法使用行政权力实施全球贸易政策 [1],且早期许多关税已被最高法院宣布违法 [2]。该政策已引发美国盟国和贸易伙伴的批评和抗议 [2]。
The Trump administration announced new tariffs on more than 80 countries on Thursday evening, with rates ranging from 10% to 12.5%, set to take effect Friday morning. [1][2] The move represents the latest effort by the administration to pursue sweeping global trade policies while circumventing Congress.
The new tariffs are grounded in Section 301 of the Trade Act and specifically target nations engaged in forced labor practices. [2] They replace an expiring 10% global tariff that was previously in place. [2] U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced the policy. [2]
Trump argued that the United States bears too high a proportion of tariff burden and contended that raising tariff rates is necessary to promote American manufacturing and employment. [1]
The announcement comes despite a February ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that deemed many of Trump's earlier tariffs unlawful applications of executive power in global trade policy. [1][2] The fresh tariffs have drawn criticism and protest from American allies and trading partners. [2]
