特朗普聚焦北约对俄石油依赖问题 【oilprice网 9月16日报道】 能源与清洁空气研究中心（CREA）维尔纽斯分析人士佩特拉斯·卡尼塔斯（Petras Kanitas）9月15日对 自由欧洲电台（RFE/RL）称："数据显示，土耳其是全球第三大俄罗斯石油进口国。" 他补充道："土耳其购买俄罗斯石油主要是因为进口成本低廉。不仅如此，他们还精炼俄罗斯原油，向 欧洲销售成品油，而从中获利。" 特朗普一直主张对进口俄罗斯石油的国家实施二级关税，并已对印度宣布此类措施。9月13日，在真实 社交平台（Truth Social） 的帖文中，他呼吁"所有北约国家"停止进口俄罗斯石油。 基辅智库KSE研究所资深经济学家本杰明·希尔根斯托克（Benjamin Hilgenstock）表示："特朗普的威胁 迄今主要针对印度，在某种程度上也包括中国。土耳其原本不在其中，因此这是值得关注的新动向。" 此举旨在切断俄罗斯的一个关键出口，来打击其经济，迫使克里姆林宫就停止2022年对乌克兰发动的全 面战争进行实质性谈判。 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）近日表示，若希望华盛顿加强对莫斯科的制裁，北约国家应 停止购买俄 ...

Group 1 - The Trump administration has directly warned that any business dealings with Russia, particularly in oil and gas, will face tariffs as high as 100%, targeting China and India specifically, while also implicating the EU and G7 allies [1][3] - The U.S. aims to leverage the Russia-Ukraine conflict to gain bargaining power, pushing the EU to impose tariffs first, with the U.S. following suit, indicating that the Ukraine issue is primarily a European concern [1][4] - The EU is hesitant to impose such tariffs due to its significant trade relationship with China, which is the second-largest trading partner after the U.S., and fears that high tariffs would harm its own economy [3][8] Group 2 - The U.S. has already imposed a 50% secondary tariff on India for purchasing Russian oil and is negotiating with Modi, while showing no immediate action against China [3][6] - The EU faces internal divisions regarding energy policies, with countries like France and Belgium opposing a complete ban on Russian gas imports, highlighting the complexities of implementing U.S. demands [3][4] - The requirement for unanimous agreement among the 27 EU member states complicates the imposition of tariffs, as any dissent could prevent action, showcasing the challenges of U.S. strategies [4][6] Group 3 - The G7 countries are also being drawn into this situation, with discussions led by the U.S. on imposing tariffs on nations that continue to support Russia, creating tension among member states like Canada [6][8] - The Trump administration's approach reflects a transactional mindset in foreign policy, emphasizing that Europe must take the lead on issues like the Ukraine crisis, while the U.S. positions itself as a supportive but non-committal ally [6][8] - European nations are aware that aligning with U.S. tariffs against China and India could lead to significant economic repercussions, as their economies are heavily reliant on trade with these countries [8]

【文/观察者网 熊超然】当地时间9月15日，美国财政部长贝森特在接受路透社和彭博社的联合采访时 称，欧洲国家需要在切断俄罗斯石油收入和结束俄乌冲突方面发挥更大作用。他还重申了美方此前放风 出的立场——除非欧洲对中国和印度征收高额关税，否则特朗普政府不会对中国商品加征关税，以阻止 中国购买俄罗斯石油。 当被问及在8月初再度对印度进口产品加征25%关税（注：目前总体关税已达50%）后，美国是否会对 中国商品加征与俄罗斯石油相关的关税时，贝森特回答道："我们希望欧洲国家现在就尽自己的一份 力，如果没有欧洲国家的帮助，我们的行动就不会推进。" 9月15日，中国商务部新闻发言人就美方要求相关方面以进口俄罗斯石油为由对华加征关税情况答记者 问时表示，中方一贯反对以所谓"涉俄"为由，对中国采取经贸限制措施。美方此次意图胁迫相关方面， 以购买俄罗斯石油为由，对中国加征"次级关税"，是典型的单边霸凌和经济胁迫行径，严重违反中美两 国元首通话共识，可能对全球贸易和产供链稳定造成严重冲击，中方对此坚决反对。如果任何方面损害 中方利益，中方将采取一切必要措施维护自身合法权益。 希望美方谨言慎行，与中方相向而行，继续通过平等对话协商妥 ...

特朗普果然不安好心，准备以身入局，引诱27国对华"下战书"，真的要用对印度的方式对待中国？ 美国总统特朗普自知拿捏不了中国，又动起歪脑筋，这次他决定不让美国当"出头鸟"，而是拉上欧盟27 国来给自己当垫背的。外媒报道称，美欧官员正秘密接触，讨论再次和中国打关税战的可能性。据悉， 特朗普这次不采取"挤牙膏"的政策，而是决定一步到位，直接对中国征收100%的所谓"二级关税"，只 不过，执行的人不是特朗普政府，而是欧盟27国。 特朗普和中国杠上了 还有非常重要的一点，特朗普似乎从第一轮关税博弈中吸取教训，意识到美国自身能力的不足，他可能 觉得，欧盟有27个成员国，同时对中方发动关税战很可能会打中方一个措手不及，等到欧盟的关税政策 困住中国之后，不管特朗普是出面充当假好人，还是继续对华施压，主动权都掌握在美方手中。 不得不说，特朗普打得一手好算盘，以身入局这一招不仅拉拢了欧盟，还给自己留足了战略空间，怎么 都能说得过去。但必须提醒美方的是，中方从来都不是软柿子，美方这么做，只会让中国和印度靠得越 来越近。 此前，美方率先对印度征收25%惩罚性关税，让印方心生不满，认为特朗普太双标，印度总理莫迪随即 在中国大出风头，给 ...

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry or Company Involved - The discussion primarily revolves around the impact of U.S.-China trade relations, particularly focusing on the automotive and coal industries.
