据央视新闻报道，德国前总理默克尔表示欧盟不应惧怕美国关税。这位70岁的资深政治家，在国际舞台 上有着丰富经验，她的此番言论，无疑给正处于美国关税压力下的欧盟，提供了一个新的思考方向。 默克尔指出，美国看似强大的关税政策，实则是虚张声势。特朗普政府威胁称，若7月9日前美欧贸易谈 判无突破，将对欧盟商品征收50%关税。目前，美国已对欧盟钢铝产品征收50%关税，对汽车领域征收 25%关税，对几乎所有其他商品征收10%基准关税。这一系列举措，让欧盟内部不少人感到恐慌，担心 自己成为美国贸易大棒下的牺牲品。 从数据上看，欧盟对美出口占其GDP约3%，而内部消费占比达70%以上。这意味着，美国市场并非欧 盟经济的命门，欧盟有足够的空间与美国周旋，有时间去争取更有利的议价条件。并且，欧盟若能协同 绿能、高端制造、数字法规三条线，未来五年有望填补潜在出口缺口40%以上，这是欧委会的内部测 算，具有一定的可靠性。 但默克尔有着自己的判断。她认为，美国的关税政策，最终买单的还是美国老百姓。美国是消费型经济 体，经济增长依赖于消费。就像尼泊尔产的裤子，成本10美元，美国本土生产要50美元，即便美国对尼 泊尔裤子加200%关税，其售 ...
