【环球时报驻美国特约记者 戴润芝 环球时报记者 李迅典】编者的话：5月7日，白宫发言人表示，美国财政部和商务 部已按照总统特朗普2月签署的行政令要求，在限期内制定了关于设立美国主权财富基金的计划，但其中部分内容遭 到白宫的拒绝，该计划短期内很难有显著进展。主权财富基金被一些媒体形容为"国家的超级理财账户"，是指由一国 政府控制和支配的、通常以外币形式持有的公共财富。在美国，关于联邦层面是否应该设立主权财富基金长期存在争 议，围绕美国政府究竟希望通过这笔资金达成什么目的也有不同的说法。有分析认为，在当下地缘政治紧张局势加剧 的背景下，美国要建立主权财富基金，不仅希望将其作为一个金融工具，而且对其赋予了与外交、产业政策和国家战 略有关的复杂意义。 " 巨大的潜力 "VS" 不完整的想法 " "我们有巨大的潜力，我认为在短时间内，我们将拥有世界最大的基金之一。"今年2月，美国总统特朗普重返白宫后 签署行政令，要求在联邦层面设立主权财富基金，并要求财政部和商务部在90天内提交相关计划。该命令还表明，这 份计划应包括对融资机制、投资策略、基金结构和治理模式的建议，同时需要评估设立和管理此类基金的法律问题。 美国财政部长 ...

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article highlights the increasing concerns among foreign investors regarding U.S. Treasury securities due to rising yields and the impact of U.S. tariff policies under the Trump administration [1][9][11] - U.S. Treasury yields have collectively surged, with the 30-year yield approaching 5% and the 10-year yield surpassing 4.5%, indicating a potential new wave of investor sell-off [1] - The article discusses the implications of the Trump administration's tariff policies, which have heightened the risks for foreign holders of U.S. debt, leading to fears of actual default on dollar-denominated debt [1][11] Group 2 - The article outlines that the persistent overvaluation of the dollar is a root cause of dissatisfaction with the U.S. economy, affecting international competitiveness and leading to trade imbalances [4] - It suggests that to induce a depreciation of the dollar, foreign central banks need to be incentivized or compelled to sell their dollar reserves, which could lead to increased domestic interest rates and a steeper yield curve [4][5] - The potential for a 20% depreciation of the dollar could result in a 60-100 basis point increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate, indicating significant inflationary pressures [5] Group 3 - The article raises concerns about the sustainability of the U.S. external balance, with net foreign debt projected to exceed 90% of GDP by 2024, raising alarms about the long-term viability of U.S. fiscal policies [7][8] - It notes that the demand for the dollar as a reserve currency has helped stabilize the U.S. economy despite rising debt levels, but this demand may not last indefinitely [7] - The article emphasizes that the combination of rising net foreign debt, the weaponization of the dollar, and tariff policies poses a serious threat to the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency [11]

据多家美国媒体的最新报道，在美国纽约，一个连美国人都几乎没听说过的法院，这两天正成为舆论焦点。 因为这个名叫"美国国际贸易法院"的机构，正在审理一起案件，即美国今年4月2日对全世界超过180个国家和地区征收"对等关税"，是否违反 了美国的法律。 从美国消费者新闻与商业频道（CNBC）的报道来看，已经于北京时间5月14日凌晨开庭审理的这起诉讼，是由五家很依赖外国进口产品的美 国本土企业在今年4月中旬提起的。 这五家企业聘请的律师认为，美国政府在4月2日对全世界众多国家和地区加征"对等关税"违反了美国宪法。其论据可以简单概括为以下两点： 美国宪法没有明确给予总统对外加征关税的权力，这个权力应该是属于国会的；虽然美国有一个名叫《国际紧急经济权力法》的法律，授权总 统可以在面对"不寻常与特别的威胁"时，对与别国的贸易进行干预，但该法律不仅没有明说总统可以加关税，而且贸易逆差也不属于"不寻常 与特别的威胁"，而是国际贸易中常见的情况。 由此，原告方希望成立于1980年的美国国际贸易法院，能够拦下白宫于4月2日对全世界超过180个国家和地区征收的"对等关税"，并让美国政 府用这段时间加征的关税来补偿利益受损的5家原告企业 ...
