转向国内，特朗普面临的挑战亦相当严峻。他在8月2日宣布开除美国劳工部统计局局长，并指责她操控数据，称之为一场"骗局"。这一举动缘于美国劳工部 公布的新就业数据，与特朗普期望的"赢学"相左。数据显示，新增就业人数仅为7.3万人，远低于市场预期的11万人，而失业率则有所上升，这些数据表明 美国的就业市场正在降温，与特朗普声称的关税战带来的就业增长相悖。 在八月初的几天里，特朗普的处境可谓相当不佳，不论是国内还是国际的局势都呈现出负面趋势。这种压力让特朗普不得不重新审视与中国之间的关系，因 为他意识到，该困境中多少与中国有着密切的关联。那么，究竟特朗普面临了什么样的困境呢？ 首先，一个重大的噩耗来源于他自己放出去的消息。特朗普再次调整了与俄罗斯签署和平协议的最后期限，把原本定于五十天后的日期提前至8月8日之前。 这个日期的选择非常巧妙，正好在特朗普计划于8月1日实施的全面关税政策生效之日，虽然有一个七天的缓冲期，实际上也就是说，真正的关税增收将从8 月7日才开始执行。这几天实际上成为其他国家的最后一次机会。 而特朗普所称的"二级关税"，无疑又是给中国施加压力的手段。在第三轮中美经贸谈判结束后，美国财政部长贝森特再次 ...
