原文标题： Trump threatens 25% tariffs on foreign cars and semiconductor chips White House has raised threat of levies as a means to bolster US economy, ignoring warnings trade wars could derail it 原文连结： https://tinyurl.com/yc2vwc9j 发布时间： Tue 18 Feb 2025 22.39 GMT 记者署名： Callum Jones 原文内容： Donald Trump stood firm against warnings that his threatened trade war risks derailing the US economy, claiming his administration could hit foreign cars with tariffs of around 25% within weeks. Semiconductor chips and drugs are set to face higher duties, Trump told reporters at a news conference on Tuesday. The White House has repeatedly raised the threat of tariffs since Trump returned to office last month, pledging to rebalance the global economic order in America’s favor. A string of announced tariffs have yet to be introduced, however, as economists and business urge the Trump administration to reconsider. Duties on imports from Canada and Mexico have been repeatedly delayed; modified levies on steel and aluminum, announced last week, will not be enforced until next month; and a wave of so-called “reciprocal” tariffs, also trailed last week, will not kick in before April. Tariffs are taxes on foreign goods. They are paid by the importer of the product – in this case, companies and consumers based inside the US – rather than the exporter, elsewhere in the world. Asked on Tuesday if he had decided the rate of a threatened tariff on cars from overseas, Trump said he would “probably” announce that on 2 April, “ but it’ll be in the neighborhood of 25%”. Upon being asked the same question about threatened tariffs on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, Trump replied: “It’ll be 25% and higher, and it’ll go very substantially higher over the course of a year.” The ramp-up, he explained, was designed to lure manufacturers to the US. “ When they come into the United States, and they have their plant or factory here, there is no tariff.” Executives have cautioned that the administration’s plan for tariffs risks harming the US economy. A 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada “will blow a hole in the US industry that we have never seen”, Jim Farley, the Ford CEO, told an investor conference in New York last week. ChatGPT机翻: 美国总统唐纳·川普无视贸易战可能破坏美国经济的警告，坚称其政府可能在数周内对外 国汽车徵收约 25% 的关税。川普在周二的新闻发布会上对记者表示，半导体晶片与药品 也将面临更高的关税。自上个月川普重返白宫以来，政府多次扬言将提高关税，承诺要让 全球经济秩序重新向美国倾斜。然而，许多宣布的关税尚未正式实施，经济学家和企业界 纷纷敦促川普政府重新考虑此举。对加拿大与墨西哥进口商品的关税已多次延迟；上周宣 布的钢铁与铝材的调整关税将延至下个月才生效；而另一批所谓的「对等关税」，同样在 上周公布，则要到四月才会实施。关税是对外国商品徵收的税费，最终由进口商承担—— 也就是美国国内的企业和消费者，而非其他国家的出口商。 周二被问及他是否已决定对进口汽车徵收的关税税率时，川普表示他「可能」会在 4 月 2 日宣布，「但大概会在 25% 左右」。当被问到对半导体和药品加徵关税的计画时，川 普回答：「将会是 25% 或更高，并且在一年内大幅上调。」他解释说，这样的调整是为 了吸引制造商进驻美国。「当他们进入美国，在这里设立工厂或生产基地，就不需要缴纳 关税。」企业高层警告，政府的关税计画可能损害美国经济。福特汽车执行长吉姆·法利 上周在纽约的一场投资者会议上表示，对墨西哥和加拿大徵收 25% 的关税「将对美国产 业造成前所未有的冲击」。 心得/评论： 川普又拿出关税威胁，这次是说可能在4月2日对汽车徵收25%关税， 对晶片的关税则没说什麽时候。 然而川普之前的关税讲了又推迟， 这样的举动大大增加市场的不确定性。 --
