在当今复杂多变的国际经济局势中，特朗普掀起的关税大战宛如一场猛烈的风暴，席卷全球，众多国家深受其害。而在这场风暴中，日本与中国的不同遭 遇，犹如一面镜子，映照出美国霸权的蛮横无理，也凸显了各国在应对挑战时的不同抉择与命运走向。 最开始，特朗普扬起关税大棒的时候，日本第一时间就选择了"下跪"。当时，日本首相石破茂出访美国，送上了很多"大礼"，就是为了让日本获得关税豁 免。这些好处有点多，日本承诺大幅提高 2025 财年的防务预算，并力图在 2027 年达到美国人的要求，将国防预算提高到国内生产总值（GDP）的 2%，这 里面，自然隐藏了包括上交美国的保护费。另外，石破茂还表示会计划将对美国的投资规模提升至 1 万亿美元，大幅购买美国液化天然气，此外，石破茂还 暗示特朗普，日本可能会购买美国的生物乙醇等能源，还这般讨好的姿态，一度让特朗普兴奋不已，高呼"我爱日本"，甚至扬言要与日本构建 "日美关系的 新黄金时代"。 然而，日本的卑躬屈膝并未换来美国的怜悯。美国的关税战全面爆发后，日本不仅没有获得豁免，反而遭到了美国一次次沉痛的上海。美国对日本加征了 24% 的高额 "对等关税"， 接着对钢铁和铝制品加征 25% ...

特朗普心里最怵的人至少有三个，两个在国外，分别是泽连斯基和普京，另一个在美国，他就是美联储 主席鲍威尔。他吵吵嚷嚷着要解雇鲍威尔，却功亏一篑。 现在，鲍威尔对他反戈一击，在国际货币基金组织会议上当着包括中国在内的190个成员国的面立下军 令状：美联储绝对不会屈服于特朗普的政治压力，并反复强调独立性，给世界吃了一颗定心丸。 特朗普4月2日向全球185个国家和地区发动关税大战后，最想做到的事情有三件： 第一件事是逼迫世界各国主动与美国联系，与美国进行关税谈判，从而达成令美国满意的关税协议，并 将这些国家拴在美国一边，乖乖地听从美国的号令，组成以美国为马首是瞻的新的关税和贸易阵营。 第二件事就是与中国结束关税大战，达成贸易协议。为了达到这个目的，特朗普政府多次释放正在与中 国举行关税谈判的假消息，多次遭到中国驳斥、打脸。 同时，特朗普还多次上演威胁讹诈的戏，他在4月25日声称"中国须做出实质性让步，否则不会取消对华 加征关税"。 对此，中国驻美国大使馆明确指出，如果美方真的想通过对话谈判解决问题，就应该纠正错误，停止威 胁讹诈，彻底取消所有对华单边关税措施。 第三件事是特朗普施压美联储主席鲍威尔要听话，立即降息。 ...
