一段时间以来，美国政府的关税政策陷入多起国内司法诉讼，并连收美国国际贸易法院、美国联邦巡回 上诉法院两张司法"红牌"。美国联邦最高法院日前宣布，将快速审议政府所征多数关税的合法性，定于 11月首周听取口头辩论。有美媒指出，这将是联邦最高法院首次对本届政府核心政策的合法性作出判 定，其结果或可左右美国关税政策的未来命运。 专家分析，美国国内涉及关税政策的诉讼不断，根源在于该政策的实际效用及制定程序均引发巨大争 议。同时，该事件也折射出当下美国政治体制存在的诸多深层次危机。 "美国起诉美国"的场面不断上演 特朗普政府的关税政策对美国本土经济造成冲击，且存在明显程序瑕疵，引发国内对政策合理性的广泛 质疑 据悉，美国联邦最高法院将审议的关税包括：总统特朗普援引1977年《国际紧急经济权力法》面向全球 征收的10%"基准关税"、对未与美国达成贸易协议的贸易伙伴征收的更高额度关税以及所谓"芬太尼关 税"。 今年5月，位于纽约的美国国际贸易法院3人合议庭就小企业主和美国12州所提诉讼裁定，总统无权援引 《国际紧急经济权力法》征收上述关税。8月29日，美国联邦巡回上诉法院审理特朗普政府上诉后，以7 比4的投票结果维持原裁决。 ...

全球目光聚焦西班牙马德里，这座历史悠久的城市正见证着中美新一轮经贸磋商。据国内外权威媒体报道，美国代表团由财政部长贝森特和贸易代表格里尔 带队，而中国方面则派出了经验丰富的经济专家何立峰作为主谈人。 持续六小时的闭门会谈让守候在门外的记者们望眼欲穿。当美国财长贝森特最终现身时，他只留下明日继续四个字，对谈判内容守口如瓶。这种谨慎态度引 发外界诸多猜测：既可能是为了避免说错话，也暗示着谈判已进入最艰难的攻坚阶段。 这场被称作11月终极对决前热身赛的谈判，表面是贸易争端，实则是两国综合实力的全面较量。美方延续了前任政府的产业转移策略，试图通过高关税迫使 制造业流向东南亚，同时维持对中国商品约30%的关税壁垒。而中国方面则在稀土资源、科技发展和关税政策三大核心领域寸步不让。 知情人士透露，谈判主要围绕三个关键议题展开，每个都可能成为重新点燃贸易战的导火索： 值得一提的是，在中美博弈之际，东道主西班牙意外成为受益者。近年来美西关系因巴以问题、军费分摊等矛盾不断，西班牙总理桑切斯今年访华时称中国 为战略伙伴更引发美方不满。选择马德里作为谈判地点可谓妙招——既提升西班牙国际地位，又为欧盟内部制衡美国影响力增添砝码。 场外 ...

大家都知道，TikTok在美国一直面临着被禁止的风险，特朗普之前还曾多次延迟TikTok禁令，将TikTok"不卖就禁用"法案执行宽限期一延再延。 从最新的谈判结果来看，TikTok相关问题已经得到了初步解决。 而这次中美谈判似乎在TikTok问题上达成了一些共识，接下来美国大概率就要发布相关消息了。 自从特朗普加征关税以来，中美之间已经进行了四次谈判，而本次谈判的结果已经发布了。 TikTok作为一款非常受欢迎的社交媒体应用，在美国拥有大量的用户。如果TikTok真的被禁止，不仅会对美国的用户造成不便，也会对美国的科技产业和社 交媒体生态产生一定的影响。 所以，TikTok问题的初步解决，对于中美两国来说可能都是一个比较好的结果，也为中美贸易谈判增添了一些积极的因素。 虽然TikTok问题有了进展，但中美之间的贸易问题还很复杂，不仅仅是关税和TikTok问题，还有其他一些领域的分歧和摩擦。 不过，中美谈判最终还是从两国利益最大化出发，你好我好大家好，毕竟作为全球最大的两个经济体，其贸易直接会影响到全球经济的发展。 根据美国商务部普查局最新报告，今年 1 到 7 月，中美之间的货物贸易总额是 2709.84 ...

说起来特朗普的关税算法挺逗。谁对美国贸易顺差大，就揍谁。但经济学家们早就看穿了这套把戏：关税只会让美国进口商和消费者多掏钱，根本缩小不了 贸易逆差。果然，今年上半年美国贸易逆差不但没减少，还比去年同期多了1600亿美元。最打脸的是，美国七月份的商品贸易逆差达到1030亿美元，几乎和 一年前一模一样。 特朗普以为美国赢了？实际上美国已经输了！ 特朗普的关税大炮响了半年，结果打中的可能是自己的脚！别看白宫整天嚷嚷着要对全球征收"对等关税"，最新数据却显示：2025年上半年世界贸易额不但 没垮，反而悄悄涨了3000亿美元。这剧情反转得连好莱坞编剧都不敢这么写。 中国的王牌叫"不废话，搞建设"。人家不问你家里怎么摆家具（内政），不逼你换装修风格（民主改革），只问："这条路要不要修？""这电站建不建？"这 种"无条件合作"的风格，在曾被殖民阴影笼罩的拉美，简直像一股清流。 中国战略能跨越选举周期。不像美国四年换一届政策可能翻篇，中国的协议往往持续数十年，桥修好了、电网通了、5G建了，这些实实在在的东西，可比 竞选承诺好兑现多了。 美国这边呢？一边对委内瑞拉等国家持续施压，一边强调"西半球是咱后院"——活脱脱现代版门罗主 ...

美国伊利诺伊州豆农装载大豆。 中国是世界第一大豆进口国，但今年秋天，一船美国大豆都还没下单。 再过几周，美国农民就要收获今年的大豆了——数千万吨的产量，等着装船出港。 但眼下，他们面临着一个严峻问题：中国，不买了。 从特朗普第一个任期开始算起，中国采购美国大豆的数量就在持续波动。数据显示，美国大豆在中国市 场的份额已从2016年的约40%下滑至2024年的20%左右。 与此同时，南美国家正在填补美国大豆在华份额。如，2024年中国从巴西进口大豆7465万吨，同比增长 6.7%，占比超过七成。 除了更换供应商，中国还通过优化饲料配比、增加大豆自给产能等措施，进一步减少对美国大豆的依 赖。 康奈尔大学农业经济学家克里斯托弗·沃尔表示："中国市场的采购动向举足轻重。关税带来剧烈波动， 这种不确定性让美国农民处境艰难。" 要知道，去年这个时候，中国买家已经预定了约1300万吨美国大豆，并开始陆续发货。 时间不等人，美国的农场主、农产品出口商们坐不住了。 据《南华早报》报道，美国政府将派出一批美国种植户和农产品出口商前往中国，这也是美国农业部第 三次组织年度访华之行。 频繁奔走的背后，是美国农业界迫切的"求订单"之心。 ...
