如果您希望可以时常见面，欢迎标星收藏哦~ 但在第二任期内，特朗普把椭圆形办公室的"坚决"办公桌当成了谈判桌，进一步利用不断增加的关 税威胁（现在已是主动行动）作为手段，将美国境外的制造业转移到美国境内，创造新的就业机 会。对于我们这些把美国当成家的人来说，这听起来比全球化对几十年来不断削弱的制造业基地的 帮助要好得多。 由于最终销往美国的产品大部分是在中国、墨西哥和加拿大制造的，因此关税首先冲击这些地区并 对其造成严重影响也就不足为奇了。但特朗普已明确表示，关税也将适用于台湾，台湾半导体制造 公司的大部分代工产能都位于台北附近。 鉴于世界对高端芯片的依赖，而这些芯片大多在台湾制造和封装，为了在这个分裂的世界中实现某 种类似稳定的东西，将自身风险分散到地理上才是台湾的最大利益，而该公司近年来一直在这样 做。 昨天，台积电首席执行官魏哲家和特朗普总统在白宫概述了一项新的投资协议，该协议将允许台积 电的客户避免原本 25% 的关税，之后将进一步提高。与英特尔不同，英伟达、AMD、苹果、高通 和博通没有自己的代工厂，它们对自己的产品可能受到此类关税的制裁感到不满。尤其是这些关税 不会是静态的一次性事件，而是会随着时间 ...
