Who is we? Who is they? Maybe the wording should go something like this. “The US has a massive trade imbalance with Australia in favour of the US, so why did that idiot Trump impose a 10% tariff on everything (that American consumers have to pay), including beef exports to the US from Australia.”
Now every US hamburger will be a fatty, feedlot mess without the lean, clean grass fed beef from Australia added in to make it edible. Unless US consumers pay the 10% extra to cover the added tariff.
The filthy, fatty, hormone and antibiotic laden beef processed in the US from who knows where, will continue to be denied entry into Australia unless documented evidence is provided regarding its source and with applicable disease checks completed, such as foot and mouth disease and mad cow disease.
Maybe Australia should now cancel all those domestic aircraft orders and defence orders regarding fighters and submarines. Trade with Australia would then no longer be out of balance. Europe is more than willing to take the billion dollar orders instead. Australia has made no retaliatory tariffs at all. China, however is more than willing to buy everything it can, without any tariffs. Good luck America, the only thing great is the huge stinky pile deposited by your POTUS.
“我們”是誰？“他們”又是誰？或許表述應(yīng)該這樣：“美國與澳大利亞存在巨大的貿(mào)易逆差，對美有利，那為什么那個蠢貨特朗普要對所有商品（美國消費者得掏錢）加征 10%的關(guān)稅，包括澳大利亞對美出口的牛肉？” 現(xiàn)在，美國的每個漢堡包都會變得油膩、難吃，因為少了澳大利亞的瘦肉、干凈的草飼牛肉來調(diào)味，除非美國消費者多掏 10%的錢來支付額外的關(guān)稅。美國那些臟兮兮、油膩膩、激素和抗生素泛濫的牛肉，來源不明，加工過程也令人擔憂，除非能提供有關(guān)其來源的文件證明，并完成相應(yīng)的疾病檢查，比如口蹄疫和瘋牛病，否則將被禁止進入澳大利亞?；蛟S澳大利亞現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該取消所有國內(nèi)飛機訂單以及戰(zhàn)斗機和潛艇的國防訂單。這樣一來，與澳大利亞的貿(mào)易就不會失衡了。歐洲非常愿意接手這些價值數(shù)十億美元的訂單。澳大利亞至今未采取任何報復性關(guān)稅措施。而中國則非常愿意購買一切，且不加征任何關(guān)稅。祝美國好運，唯一偉大的東西就是你們總統(tǒng)留下的那堆又大又臭的糞便。
You REALLY should look into grass fed beef here in Ohio. Heinens supermarkets source their house brand locally. For me, the son of a butcher, I find it too dry and tough, but a lot of people do not want corn fattened beef. Try it.
您真該在俄亥俄州嘗嘗草飼牛肉。海恩斯超市的自有品牌牛肉都是從當?shù)夭少彽?。像我這樣出身屠夫之家的人覺得它太干太硬，但很多人不喜歡用玉米育肥的牛肉。您不妨試試看。
Of course there are some US producers that have high quality, but they are aimed at boutique markets with high prices. Why the US meat processors refuse to document their product for export markets is beyond me. Maybe it would cost a dollar more? The Wagyu beef from Australia is world class and gets very high prices. Estimated value of Wagyu boxed production for 2023 of AUD $2.0 billion exported to 40 countries. In 2023, Australian beef and veal exports reached a record value of $14.7 billion. This figure represented a 12.3% increase from the previous year. The United States was the largest destination market for Australian beef and veal, worth $3.3 billion, followed by China at $2.2 billion and Japan at $2 billion. China is now the major buyer after the insulting 10% tariff to Australia, previously one of the staunchest supporters of the US. Talk about Trump shooting every American in the foot with these tariffs. But that is exactly what Trump wanted, the population of the USA to suffer as payback for voting him out as POTUS. They are even idiotically cheering the POS on for doing this.
當然，美國也有一些生產(chǎn)商的產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量很高，但它們面向的是高端市場，價格昂貴。美國肉類加工商為何不愿為出口市場提供產(chǎn)品證明，我實在想不通。也許只是多花一美元的事？澳大利亞的牛肉堪稱世界一流，售價極高。據(jù)估計，2023 年澳大利牛肉出口額達 20 億澳元，銷往 40 個國家。2023 年，澳大利亞牛肉和小牛肉出口額創(chuàng)下 147 億美元的新高，較上年增長 12.3%。美國是澳大利亞牛肉和小牛肉的最大出口市場，價值 33 億美元，其次是中國，達 22 億美元，日本為 20 億美元。中國如今已成為主要買家，此前澳大利亞一直是美國最堅定的支持者之一，而美國卻加征了 10%的關(guān)稅，這簡直是侮辱。特朗普就是這樣，用這些關(guān)稅讓每個美國人都遭殃，可他們居然還為這個混蛋叫好。
The United States has a surplus with 111 countries in 2024. As far as I can tell, we added tariffs on trade with all of them. Maybe the United States is punished them for allowing the United States to take advantage of them?
2024 年，美國對 111 個國家存在貿(mào)易順差。據(jù)我所知，我們對所有這些國家都加征了關(guān)稅。也許美國是在懲罰這些國家，因為它們讓美國占了便宜？
Only an idiot would equate a trade imbalance as taking advantage. I know Trump is behaving idiotically, but are you also an idiot? Australia has a trade imbalance in favour of the US, yet Trump still forced a 10% tariff that Americans will have to pay on anything from Australia. A poor African country selling its produce at a very low price, benefited the US. The fact that the people are very poor and cannot afford to buy a lot of US stuff does not mean they are taking advantage of the US. Placing a high tariff on their produce just means that the US consumers now have to pay much more to buy their own farm produce. And every citizen of that poor country will now suffer from it.
只有白癡才會把貿(mào)易逆差說成是占便宜。我知道特朗普的行為很愚蠢，但你也是白癡嗎？澳大利亞對美國存在貿(mào)易順差，可特朗普還是強行對從澳大利亞進口的商品加征 10%的關(guān)稅，這最終要由美國人來買單。一個貧窮的非洲國家以極低的價格出售其產(chǎn)品，這對美國是有利的。該國人民非常貧窮，買不起很多美國貨，這并不意味著他們在占美國的便宜。對他們的產(chǎn)品征收高額關(guān)稅，只是意味著美國消費者現(xiàn)在要花更多的錢來購買本國的農(nóng)產(chǎn)品。而這個貧窮國家的每一個公民都會因此而受苦。
Actually, as tariffs are paid by the importer in the United States, I’m half convinced that the reason for them (as was the case for similar during Trump’s first term) is simple extortion: either be forced to raise prices — possibly going out of business — or “donate” to Trump or his party and receive an exception.
實際上，由于關(guān)稅是由美國的進口商支付的，我有理由相信，征收關(guān)稅（就像特朗普第一任期時的類似情況）的原因很簡單，就是敲詐勒索：要么被迫提高價格——有可能導致破產(chǎn)——要么向特朗普或其政黨“捐款”，從而獲得豁免。

Importers have nothing to do with it. They either pay the tariff or have the goods confiscated. The country of origin still has the tariff applied. No amount of importer bribery would have any effect on that because importers usually deal with multiple countries. Trump is going to cause a huge spike in inflation, and the Reserve Bank will act by raising interest rates. That will benefit the rich and punish the poor and middle class. This is payback for them voting him out the first time.
進口商與此毫無關(guān)系。他們要么支付關(guān)稅，要么貨物被沒收。原產(chǎn)國仍會征收關(guān)稅。無論進口商如何賄賂都無濟于事，因為他們通常與多個國家打交道。特朗普此舉將導致通貨膨脹大幅飆升，而儲備銀行將會通過提高利率來應(yīng)對。這將使富人受益，而讓窮人和中產(chǎn)階級受苦。這是對他們第一次投票讓他下臺的報復。
If no ther countries put tariffs on each other
the US will become stranded and very expensive.
everyone retaliates US tariffs US becomes untraceable both ways…..
other countries pick up the surplus and reshape.
over time there’s no more in place a mechanism to furnish the US.
Rest of world becomes easier, I won’t say cheaper….
如果其他國家之間都不相互加征關(guān)稅，美國就會陷入孤立且成本高昂的境地。如果各國都對美國的關(guān)稅進行報復，美國就會陷入兩難的境地。其他國家會吸納過剩的產(chǎn)能并重新調(diào)整。久而久之，為美國提供商品的機制將不復存在。世界其他地區(qū)會變得更容易適應(yīng)，我不會說更便宜……
Yes, the USA trade with Australia is all in America's favour.
If Trump applied his tariff formula to Australia, the tariff rate would be a MINUS percentage.
But he is mad that Australia bans U.S. beef from Australia.
We do that because we don't have foot and mouth disease or mad cow disease in Australia but the USA still gets occasional outbreaks. We take bio security VERY seriously in Australia.
(if you travel to Australia with ANY kind of food in your bag, declare it on your arrival card. If it's declared but not allowed, we take the offending items off you and send you on your way. If you don't declare and you have offending food items, you get a $2600 fine, payable before you leave the airport - I kid you not!)
In addition, the U.S. allows the use of growth hormones and antibiotics in cattle.
Australia banned those in our farm animals in the 1980s.
So US beef does not meet our very high food standards.
Trump is annoyed, so applies a tariff on Australia.
沒錯，美國與澳大利亞之間的貿(mào)易完全對美國有利。如果特朗普按照他的關(guān)稅公式對澳大利亞征收關(guān)稅，稅率會是負數(shù)。但他卻因為澳大利亞禁止美國牛肉進入澳大利亞而感到惱火。我們這么做是因為澳大利亞沒有口蹄疫和瘋牛病，而美國偶爾仍有疫情爆發(fā)。我們在澳大利亞非常重視生物安全。（如果你攜帶任何食品入境澳大利亞，一定要在入境卡上申報。如果申報了但不允許入境，我們會沒收違禁物品并放你走。如果你沒有申報而攜帶違禁食品，你將被處以 2600 美元的罰款，必須在離開機場前繳納——我可不是跟你開玩笑?。┐送?，美國允許在牛身上使用生長激素和抗生素。澳大利亞早在 20 世紀 80 年代就禁止在農(nóng)場動物身上使用這些物質(zhì)。所以美國牛肉不符合我們非常高的食品標準。特朗普感到惱火，于是對澳大利亞征收關(guān)稅。
The Australian ban on American beef imports was lifted in 2019.
Australia offered to certify US beef imports, subject to biosecurity and food safety assessments, that would allow the US to export beef to Australia from cattle born and raised in the US
The US beef industry chose to not progress with this pathway unless it also included cattle born and raised in Mexico and Canada and only processed in the US.
The Australian government response was that beef from these countries would need to undergo seperate biosecurity and food safety assessments, as the foot and mouth, mad cow disease and other biosecurity risks are different in those countries, and that the US exporters would need to identify the source country and seperate these from US grown beef to avoid cross contamination.
The US beef industry chose not to go down this path because of the difficulty of compliance on their end.
So, it is the US beef industry that has stood in the way of exporting to Australia, not the other way around.
Around 3/4 of the beef produced in Australia is exported, so it is unlikely that there is much of a market for US beef in Australia anyway.
澳大利亞于 2019 年解除了對美國牛肉進口的禁令。澳大利亞提出，只要通過生物安全和食品安全評估，就可對美國牛肉進口進行認證，這將允許美國可以出口牛肉到澳大利亞。美國牛肉行業(yè)選擇不走這條道路，也包括在墨西哥和加拿大出生和飼養(yǎng)但在美國加工的牛。澳大利亞政府回應(yīng)稱，來自這些國家的牛肉需要單獨進行生物安全和食品安全評估，因為這些國家存在口蹄疫、瘋牛病和其他生物安全風險，而且美國出口商需要確定來源國，并將這些牛肉與美國本土牛肉分開，以避免交叉污染。美國牛肉行業(yè)因難以遵守相關(guān)規(guī)定而選擇不走這條路。所以，阻礙美國牛肉出口到澳大利亞的是美國牛肉行業(yè)，而非澳大利亞。澳大利亞約四分之三的牛肉用于出口，因此美國牛肉在澳大利亞的市場可能也不大。
Indeed. When you buy a hamburger in the USA, the beef patty could have meat from many different countries in it.
This is unacceptable to the Australian authorities, who want to know the provenance of EVERY beast imported to this country.
確實如此。在美國，當你買一個漢堡包時，里面的牛肉餅可能來自許多不同的國家。這在澳大利亞是不可接受的，澳大利亞當局希望了解進口到本國的每頭牲畜的來源。
I have never, and will never eat hamburgers in the US. At this stage I won’t even go to the US.
我從未在美國吃過漢堡包，以后也不會吃。目前這個階段我甚至都不想去美國。
No, I have 3 daughters and 4 grandchildren in the USA and I told them 2 years ago that I would never come back there, as I didn’t trust the government. They didn't understand at the time, but they do now.
Last might was a story about an Australian MMA Coach who was illegally detained and subsequently deported. These are not just imaginary stories.
不，我在美國有三個女兒和四個孫輩，兩年前我就告訴他們我再也不會回去了，因為我對那里的政府不信任。當時他們不理解，但現(xiàn)在明白了。昨晚有一則報道是關(guān)于一位澳大利亞的綜合格斗教練被非法拘禁并隨后被驅(qū)逐出境的，這些絕非虛構(gòu)的故事。
While your points are all valid and logical, I think you give Trump too much credit by believing he has reasons behind his actions. He doesn’t think past one move. He puts out tariffs hoping others will bow down and grovel at his feet. There is nothing deeper.
雖然您提出的觀點都合情合理，但我覺得您對特朗普過于高估了，認為他做事有其背后的理由。他根本不會考慮長遠，只是推出關(guān)稅措施，指望別人會對他卑躬屈膝。事情遠沒有這么復雜。
I concur. If he had cogent thoughts behind his actions he wouldn’t have tariffed a bunch of penguins.
我同意。如果他做事有理有據(jù)，就不會對一群企鵝征收關(guān)稅了。
Trump was talking tariffs (in place of income taxes) back in the 1980s.
Then when he was running for office the first time, he was looking for a trigger issue and settled on "bad China"
He asked Jared to find him an advisor who knew about China and Kushner looked at Amazon book titles and saw one on China by Peter Navarro. In that book Navarro espoused tariffs on China and referred constantly to an expert Ron Vara.
So Navarro got the job with Trump as a special adviser on the economy.
The curious thing is that Ron Vara is victitious - he does not exist. His name is an anagram of Navarro, and everything in the book is Navarro without any backup expert.
So Trump does have long range plans. And now with a compliant Congress he is implementing them.
早在 20 世紀 80 年代，特朗普就曾談?wù)撨^關(guān)稅（以取代所得稅）。后來他第一次競選時，一直在尋找一個能引發(fā)關(guān)注的議題，最終選定了“糟糕的中國”。他讓庫什納幫他找一位了解中國的顧問，庫什納在亞馬遜網(wǎng)站上查看書名，看到了彼得·納瓦羅所著的一本關(guān)于中國的書。在那本書中，納瓦羅主張對中國征收關(guān)稅，并不斷提及一位專家羅恩·瓦拉。于是納瓦羅獲得了特朗普的特別經(jīng)濟顧問一職。奇怪的是，羅恩·瓦拉是虛構(gòu)的——他根本不存在。他的名字是納瓦羅名字的字母重組，書中的一切觀點都是納瓦羅自己的，沒有任何專家支持。所以特朗普確實有長遠的計劃，如今有了順從的國會，他正在實施這些計劃。
It's partly that.
At his core, Trump feels inferior and so he over compensates.
He was laughed at to his face in the UN and behind his back at other meetings of world leaders (although often caught on camera).
American big business has never really accepted him as “one of them” either. He's always been seen as a carpet bagger.
He is openly mocked in the media.
He acts as if he is oblivious to all this, but he knows.
He built his own country clubs so that he didn't have to apply (and possibly be denied) membership and he gets to decide who is a member of his clubs.
He is absolutely giddy that the richest man in the world wants to be his friend and doesn't miss a chance to show off his bromance (although Musk is not as enamoured of Trump, but he does like the power it gives him)
The tarrifs, cutting foreign aid, telling the US’s closest allies that the US won't defend them, mass sackings of public servants, banning main stream media - these are all just Trump getting back at all those “mean girls”.
這是一部分原因。特朗普內(nèi)心深處覺得自己低人一等，所以極力補償。他在聯(lián)合國當面被人嘲笑，在其他世界領(lǐng)導人會議背后也被人議論（盡管常常被拍到）。美國的大企業(yè)也從未真正接受他為“自己人”，他一直被視為投機分子。媒體公然嘲笑他。他裝作對此一無所知，但他心里清楚。他建了自己的高爾夫俱樂部，這樣就不必申請（而且可能被拒絕）會員資格，還能決定誰是俱樂部會員。他為世界首富想和他交朋友而興奮不已，一有機會就炫耀他們的“兄弟情”（盡管馬斯克對特朗普沒那么著迷，但他確實喜歡這種權(quán)力帶來的好處）。征收關(guān)稅、削減對外援助、告訴美國最親密的盟友美國不會保護他們、大規(guī)模解雇公職人員、禁止主流媒體——所有這些都是特朗普對那些“壞女孩”的報復。
You are right. He said afterwards that the tariffs were negotiable providing the countries offered him things that he wants ie raw minerals, gold, precious gems.
你說得對。他后來表示，關(guān)稅是可以商量的，只要這些國家能給他提供他想要的東西，比如原材料、黃金、寶石。

Completely agree. The talk about unfair trade practices and manufacturing in the US is just window dressing a big ego trip.
完全同意。有關(guān)不公平貿(mào)易行為以及制造業(yè)回流美國的言論不過是表面功夫，滿足一下虛榮心罷了。
The current thinking is that any place with an Internet domain name got slapped with a tariff, which is why Heard and Mcdonald Islands with only penguins gets a 10% tariff, as does Norfolk Island, but not Philip Island next to it.
Diego Garcia, which is a British dependency, but only inhabited by US military also gets a 10% tariff and poor old Madagascar, whose only export to the US is vanilla has 35% tariff. Apparently the seppos love their vanilla coffee, so with the price of coffee AND vanilla going up it won't be much fun for them.
目前的想法是，任何擁有互聯(lián)網(wǎng)域名的地方都被征收了關(guān)稅，這就是為什么只有企鵝居住的赫德島和麥克唐納群島被征收了 10% 的關(guān)稅，諾福克島也是如此，但旁邊的菲利普島卻沒有。迪戈加西亞島是英國的屬地，但只有美軍駐扎在那里，也被征收了 10% 的關(guān)稅，而可憐的老馬達加斯加，其對美國的唯一出口產(chǎn)品是香草，卻被征收了 35% 的關(guān)稅。顯然美國人喜歡他們的香草咖啡，所以隨著咖啡和香草價格的上漲，他們可不會太開心。
The Australian tariff situation is full of confusion.
First of all many American government comments are about trade surpluses as the basis for tariffs in which case Australia is on the positive side as Australia virtually imports twice what we export to USA. So why is Australia being penalised?
Second we are told that beef is the problem and the reason for the tariffs. Given that Australian beef is generally better quality and we have a surplus. It seems Americans want it for that reason particularly McDonalds for their and DJT’s hamburgers. However we do not need beef from the USA as we have plenty of our own so why do we have to import USA beef when we already have a trade surplus with the USA. I am also informed that it is also subsidised and would be ‘competitive’ with Australian non subsidised beef assuming Australians would buy it.
Australia is fortunate in being an island and so has managed to avoid importing many of the diseases that poison food or compromise its food safety and quality. Australia also has a regime of keeping food protected from chemicals unlike the USA. I thought that was why DJT appointed Robert Kennedy to remove the various things that make American food products crap. Maybe if he is successful the USA will produce food that is edible and of a quality they can sell overseas to places like Australia. Meanwhile why should we import compromised food by our standards just because Americans are content to eat rubbish and suffer the consequences to their health.
Too many American politicians or news commentators imbued with the idea that the USA is the greatest and everyone else is wrong are spewing inaccurate information. The Australian beef situation is a good example as is the problem with American built cars and Utes like the Ford 250 being suitable for small European roads. Even the quality is an issue. e.g. Jeep does not have a good reputation in Australia for quality and sales are going backwards.
澳大利亞的關(guān)稅狀況十分混亂。首先，許多美國政府的言論都以貿(mào)易順差為依據(jù)來征收關(guān)稅，而澳大利亞在這方面處于有利地位，因為澳大利亞從美國的進口額幾乎是出口額的兩倍。那么，澳大利亞為何還要受到懲罰呢？其次，我們被告知牛肉是問題所在，也是征收關(guān)稅的原因。然而，澳大利亞牛肉通常質(zhì)量更優(yōu)，而且我們還有剩余。顯然，美國人想要澳大利亞牛肉，尤其是麥當勞和特朗普的漢堡包需要。但我們自己有充足的牛肉，為何還要從美國進口呢？而且我們對美國已經(jīng)存在貿(mào)易順差。還有人告訴我，美國牛肉是補貼的，如果澳大利亞人愿意購買，它會與澳大利亞的非補貼牛肉形成競爭。澳大利亞很幸運，是一個島國，因此成功避免了從美國進口許多會污染食品或影響其安全和質(zhì)量的疾病。澳大利亞還有一套保護食品免受化學物質(zhì)侵害的制度，這與美國不同。我原以為這就是特朗普任命羅伯特·肯尼迪的原因，讓他解決那些讓美國食品質(zhì)量低劣的問題。也許他要是成功了，美國就能生產(chǎn)出能出口到澳大利亞等地的可食用且質(zhì)量上乘的食品。與此同時，我們?yōu)槭裁匆獌H僅因為美國人甘愿吃垃圾食品并承受其對健康的損害，就進口那些不符合我們標準的有問題的食品呢？太多美國政客或新聞評論員都沉浸在“美國最偉大，其他國家都錯了”的觀念中，傳播著不準確的信息。澳大利亞牛肉的情況就是一個很好的例子，還有美國制造的汽車和皮卡，比福特 250，根本不適合歐洲的小路。質(zhì)量也是個問題，比如吉普在澳大利亞的質(zhì)量口碑不佳，銷量也在下滑。
The fact is, Australian made food is as good as it comes and its quality alone means we will always find countries to buy it as premium food always has a market. We also export iron ore, uranium, coal and aluminium and any tariffs the USA imposes in us will just mean more trade with China, Japan, India and South Korea etc. So I big winner from all this will be China, they will increase trade with the people pissed off by trump and will increase their economy while the USA economy goes downhill. Better economy equals more money to spend on the military and arms and more money to spend on the nations China are already trying to bribe through the belt and road policies. In essence, the USA will weaken their position in trade, countries in the Middle like Australia will find other markets, admittedly with some pain in the transition, and China will be the biggest beneficiaries of this trade war. So trump is pissing off its trade partners while giving economic benefits to its enemies.
事實是，澳大利亞制造的食品堪稱一流，僅憑其品質(zhì)，我們總能找到愿意購買的國家，因為優(yōu)質(zhì)食品永遠有市場。我們還出口鐵礦石、鈾、煤和鋁，美國對我們加征關(guān)稅只會讓我們更多地與中國、日本、印度和韓國等國進行貿(mào)易。所以，這場貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)的最大贏家將是中國，他們將與那些對特朗普不滿的國家增加貿(mào)易往來，從而促進自身經(jīng)濟發(fā)展，而美國經(jīng)濟則會每況愈下。經(jīng)濟越強，用于軍事和武器的資金就越多，用于通過“一帶一路”政策資助其他國家的資金也就越多?？傊?，美國在貿(mào)易中會削弱自身地位，像澳大利亞這樣的中立國家會找到其他市場，盡管在轉(zhuǎn)型過程中會有些陣痛，但中國將是這場貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)的最大受益者。所以，特朗普是在激怒貿(mào)易伙伴，同時給對手帶來經(jīng)濟利益。
The “trade surplus” justification is just an excuse to cover the real agenda. The underlying agenda is money and in particular money for Trump.
There have been multiple excuses applied to justify tariffs, all applied inconsistently and often based on fantasy economics and even lies.
Drug importation. Very little drug traffic goes via Canada into the USA. Yet this was the partial excuse for applying tariffs. Generally drug trafficking is a cooperative law enforcement issue that is applied strenuously on both sides of the border. But Trump invented a Tariff to punish Canada for lax enforcement. This is a lie.
Trade imbalances. These are generally addressed via organic currency exchange rate changes. The USA could allow its dollar to due, but Trump will not allow that. Tariffs are not an appropriate way to adjust trade imbalances so it’s a USA problem.
Taxation. Trump was claiming that Tariffs could replace income tax. The math does not add up.
Reindustrialization of the USA. This is not going to happen unless US worker wages can be suppressed down to Chinese levels. Cheap goods will also become generally inaccessible.
Blow away the smoke. Underneath the real reason is money in Trump’s pocket via bribes.
所謂的“貿(mào)易順差”理由不過是個借口，用來掩蓋其真實意圖。其真實意圖在于錢，尤其是特朗普的錢。為關(guān)稅政策找借口的理由層出不窮，但這些理由要么前后不一，要么基于幻想中的經(jīng)濟學，甚至謊言。 藥品進口。從加拿大流入美國的毒品數(shù)量極少。然而，這卻成了加征關(guān)稅的部分借口。通常來說，打擊毒品走私是雙方執(zhí)法部門合作的事務(wù)，雙方都會嚴格執(zhí)法。但特朗普卻編造關(guān)稅來懲罰加拿大執(zhí)法不力，這是謊言。 貿(mào)易失衡。貿(mào)易失衡通常通過有機的匯率變化來解決。美國可以讓美元貶值，但特朗普不允許這么做。關(guān)稅并非解決貿(mào)易失衡的恰當手段，所以這是美國自身的問題。 稅收。特朗普聲稱關(guān)稅可以取代所得稅。但這種說法在數(shù)學上根本站不住腳。 美國的再工業(yè)化。除非美國工人的工資能被壓低到中國水平，否則這根本不可能實現(xiàn)。而且，廉價商品也會變得難以獲取。 撥開迷霧。特朗普兜里的錢才是其背后真正的原因，這些錢是通過賄賂得來的。
Because the stupid twunt trump doesn't get that the aussies have very high bio security measures to protect their environment. He also doesn't understand that developed countries don't want beef that's been pumped full of antibiotics and growth hormones. That's why many developed countries have banned the law quality, unfit for human consumption American beef.
因為那個愚蠢的蠢貨特朗普不明白澳大利亞有著非常嚴格的生物安全措施來保護其環(huán)境。他也不明白發(fā)達國家不想要那些被大量注入抗生素和生長激素的牛肉。這就是為什么許多發(fā)達國家都禁止了這種質(zhì)量低劣、不適合人類食用的美國牛肉。
President Trump says he loves tariffs. He says tariffs will boost the American economy and support the Federal Government.
He placed a 10% tariff on ALL goods coming into the US. It doesn’t matter if Australia buys more from the US than the US buys from Australia, he still imposed the 10% tariff.
He placed a higher tariff on countries which the US buys more goods from them than they buy from the US. These tariffs are what he’s calling reciprocal tariffs. Just today (9 Apr 2025) he placed a 125% tariff on goods coming from China.
All these tariffs will be paid by Americans who buy the goods. None will be paid by other countries.
特朗普總統(tǒng)表示他喜歡關(guān)稅。他說關(guān)稅將促進美國經(jīng)濟并支持聯(lián)邦政府。他給所有進入美國的商品加征了 10% 的關(guān)稅。即便澳大利亞從美國購買的商品多于美國從澳大利亞購買的商品，他還是加征了 10% 的關(guān)稅。他給那些美國從其購買的商品多于其從美國購買的商品的國家加征了更高的關(guān)稅。這些關(guān)稅就是他所謂的互惠關(guān)稅。就在今天（2025 年 4 月 9 日），他對中國進口商品加征了 125% 的關(guān)稅。所有這些關(guān)稅都將由購買這些商品的美國人支付，其他國家無需支付。
Trumps tarrifs arr nothing to do with trade and everything to do with TAXATION. Americans HATE paying tax, Republicans especially. Instead of upsetting his supporters by putting up TAXES he claims low taxation status BUT introduces tarrifs (literally on everything, regardless on trade balances) to rake in a massive amount of money from the American people! Tarrifs are a sales TAX on American consumers because they come out of Americans pockets at the tills. They don't result in new American manufacturing jobs, they don't make America great again. They raise money for the federal government, they are a BACKDOOR TAX.
特朗普的關(guān)稅與貿(mào)易毫無關(guān)系，全是關(guān)于征稅。美國人討厭交稅，共和黨人尤其如此。他沒有通過提高稅收來惹惱支持者，而是聲稱實行低稅收政策，卻征收關(guān)稅（幾乎對所有商品，不管貿(mào)易平衡與否），從美國民眾那里斂財！關(guān)稅實際上是對美國消費者的銷售稅，因為最終還是由美國人掏腰包買單。關(guān)稅不會帶來新的美國制造業(yè)崗位，也不會讓美國再次偉大。它們只是為聯(lián)邦政府籌集資金，是變相征稅。
