本周是美国总统特朗普设定的新最后期限，他计划通过对仍在购买莫斯科石油的国家征收新关税，来迫 使俄罗斯在乌克兰实现和平。 特朗普的特使威特科夫已到达俄罗斯，赶在本周晚些时候最后期限生效前进行会谈。 分析人士表示，如果乌克兰的和平看起来仍然遥远，而特朗普又继续推进他的计划，那么这根新的"大 棒"可能会通过更昂贵的消费品、美国公司更低的利润率以及可能更高的油价，来打击美国自身的经 济。 据能源数据公司Vortexa称，印度从俄罗斯进口的原油比从其他任何地方都多：俄罗斯石油占印度市场 的36%。 这似乎已使印度成为特朗普怒火的目标：周二，他誓言要因该国对俄罗斯石油的需求，"在未来24小时 内""非常大幅地"提高对该国的关税。 瑞银财富管理的商品分析师Giovanni Staunovo表示，虽然特朗普可能会实施新的关税，但他怀疑特朗普 能否承受（由此产生的）对美国的经济痛苦。这表明，特朗普可能会在实施这些惩罚性措施后不久就将 其取消。 两党智库战略与国际研究中心（CSIS）的能源与地缘政治高级研究员Clayton Seigle说，"对那些继续大 量购买俄罗斯能源的国家的惩罚……也将对美国经济造成实质性的伤害。" 他说， ...

特朗普现在公开押注，普京日益增长的经济困境最终将迫使他结束这场已进入第四个年头的战斗，他周 二在接受CNBC采访时说："如果能源价格降得足够低，普京将停止杀戮，"特朗普补充道，"如果你让 能源价格再降10美元一桶，他将别无选择，因为他的经济糟透了。" 这位美国总统曾威胁要对俄罗斯能源的购买者实施所谓的二级制裁，以加大对普京的压力。这是一个冒 险的赌博，正如拜登政府所发现的那样。在不撼动全球市场的情况下惩罚俄罗斯石油的购买者，需要一 种精巧的算计，这既可能伤害朋友，也可能伤害敌人。 就连特朗普本人也曾对这些惩罚措施能否奏效表示怀疑，称俄罗斯人是"狡猾的家伙"，"很擅长规避制 裁"。 与此同时，特朗普将急于避免任何国内的经济后果。美国消费者今年仍在应对居高不下的油价，而国内 石油生产商可能面临供应限制的困境。特朗普坚称，他并不担心制裁可能在美国国内产生的潜在影响， 他上周在"空军一号"上告诉记者，美国可以加大自身的能源产量。"我们国家有一些石油，"特朗普 说。"我们会进一步加大开采力度。" 除非威特科夫能出人意料地达成一项和平协议，否则特朗普在决定是否兑现其最新的制裁威胁时，将面 临更严格的审视。这位美国总统过去 ...

Core Viewpoint - Ray Dalio warns that the U.S. is heading towards a debt crisis, emphasizing the urgency of the situation as the national debt has tripled over the past 20 years to approximately $37 trillion, with annual interest payments around $1 trillion [1][2]. Group 1: Debt Concerns - Dalio describes the U.S. debt issue as a ship heading towards rocks, indicating that while politicians recognize the danger, they are hesitant to take necessary actions due to fears of angering voters through tax increases or welfare cuts [1]. - He has been warning about debt risks since at least 2018, highlighting that excessive borrowing can inflate bubbles that eventually burst when debts become unmanageable [1][2]. - Dalio identifies a "perfect storm" for the U.S. involving debt, political division, and foreign wars, which could lead to severe economic consequences [1].
