【环球时报特约记者 汪品植】美国总统特朗普于当地时间8日在白宫举行的农业圆桌会议上，宣布推出总额110亿美元的农业纾困资金。特朗普在 圆桌会议现场对纾困资金的具体细节披露不多，只是称有关资金将来自关税收入，还说要放松有关"环保限制"以降低拖拉机等大型农机具的成 本。他表示："最大限度地提高国内农业产量，是我们重新让美国变得经济实惠，并降低家庭食品杂货价格的重要途径之一。" 此前，农业游说团体也一直在敦促白宫向农民提供援助，并在周一对该声明表示赞赏。不过《纽约时报》指出，农民最终获得的赔偿总额可能远 低于他们近期的损失。 据《华盛顿邮报》报道，一段时间以来，美国农场主正遭受关税冲击、农作物价格持续低迷以及生产成本不断上升的多重打击。最新数据显示， 美国农场主的破产率正在飙升。报道梳理有关法庭记录数据称，今年上半年全美约有181家农场主申请破产保护，不仅较去年同期大幅增长60%， 更创下2020年以来的同期最高纪录。 特别是今年早些时候，美国对华采取的关税措施直接导致美国大豆出口崩塌，而中国本是美国大豆的最大海外买家，占美国大豆出口总量的一 半。美国大豆协会主席拉格兰德就特朗普的农业纾困资金计划表示，这只是"恢复 ...

美国《纽约时报》 12 月 8 日文章，原题：英国的困境预示着美国的未来 如果让美国人想象未来，他们可 能不会将自身与英国联系起来。但最新研究显示，在大西洋彼岸发生的一幕幕，尤其是英国"脱欧"公投 近10年来的困境，可能正预示着美国未来的走向。 劳动生产率下降 3% 至 4% 2016年英国"脱欧"的决定堪称一场经济灾难。美国国家经济研究局日前发表的一份报告估计，"脱 欧"后，英国的年度经济产出比留在欧盟时减少了约6%至8%，投资数额下降12%至18%，就业率下降 3%至4%，劳动生产率下降3%至4%。这比英国在2008年金融危机后经济衰退最严重时期所遭受的损失 还要大，甚至比伦敦所有银行、经纪公司和对冲基金突然消失造成的打击还要严重。 为了评估英国"脱欧"的后果，这项新研究借鉴了一项针对数千家企业的定期调查，这些企业雇用了约 10%的英国私营部门员工。研究人员参考了2006年至2025年33个发达经济体（包括欧盟国家、美国、加 拿大、日本等）的季度数据，并考察了人均GDP、企业投资、就业和劳动生产率，与英国进行对比。该 报告将英国"脱欧"描述为"逆向"贸易改革的典型案例，总结道："就'脱欧'而言，它对英国经 ...
