这关税裁决的影响，不只是美国国内的政治八卦。对印度来说，这绝对是天上掉下来的 "意外之喜"。 2024 年的时候，印度对美出口突破了 780 亿美元，这里面钢铁、铝制品、机械这些东西就占了三成 多。之前特朗普搞的关税，把这些产业折腾得苦不堪言。 但印度真能高枕无忧吗？恐怕没那么简单。美国那套制度，表面上法治，骨子里是利益集团互相博弈。 美国钢铁行业协会已经放话要去国会游说，要求立新法案、搞"反倾销""反补贴"调查，阻止印度钢铁大 规模入美。别忘了，铁锈带是美国大选的票仓，无论是特朗普还是万斯，谁都不敢轻易得罪本土钢铁工 人。到头来，就算总统没权力加关税，国会、商务部也能用别的花样设卡。美国贸易政策的"变脸速 度"，全世界都见识过。 法院这次的操作，其实就是美国式 "制衡" 的教科书例子，简直是 "活教材"。总统想把贸易权死死攥在 自己手里，国会和法院就用司法判决、立法干预这招，把权力又拉回来，不让他一家独大。 三权分立、产业游说、媒体舆论，这三方面一旦动起来，没人能一手遮天，就算是总统也不行。万斯跳 出来表态，不只是在党内刷存在感，让大家记住 "还有我这么个人"，更是在跟党内的传统精英和大金 主喊话 —— 共 ...
