当地时间7月31日，美国总统特朗普签署行政令，确定了对多个国家和地区征收的"对等关税"税率，具体税率从10%至41%不等。"对等关税"的生效日期也被 推迟至8月7日，而非此前确定的8月1日。 该行政令列明： 叙利亚被征收的"对等关税"税率最高，定为41% 缅甸、老挝为40% 瑞士为39% 阿尔及利亚为30% 印度25% 越南为20% 菲律宾、泰国、柬埔寨为19% 巴西、英国关税最低，定为10% 多数国家及地区的关税税率定为15%，包括日本、韩国、以色列、土耳其 针对欧盟国家，若商品现行关税低于15%，将补足至15%；高于15%的不再追加 行政令还表示，未列明国家统一适用10%的关税税率。此外，如有国家或地区通过第三地转运方式规避关税，其商品将被征收40%的转运税。 值得注意的是，这项行政令里列出的只是"对等关税"一项关税，有些国家在此之外还被征收其他关税。比如巴西此次被征收的10%"对等关税"，将与7月30 日特朗普签署的行政令中对巴西加征40%额外关税叠加生效。这将导致一大部分巴西输美商品被加征50%附加税。 当天稍早前，白宫还表示，特朗普已签署行政令，将对加拿大的关税税率从25%上调至35%，于8月1日生 ...

【环球时报驻美国特约记者 李勇 环球时报特约记者 韩雯 裴茗 甄翔】8月1日是美国设定的"对等关税"暂缓期结束的日期。在此前夕，美总统特朗普发布了 一系列重磅消息：与韩国将签署全面、完整的贸易协议，将对其施加的税率从25%下调至15%；自8月1日起对自印度进口的商品征收25%关税；由于加拿大 宣布支持巴勒斯坦建国，美加将难以达成协议……无论与美国贸易谈判的结果如何，相关国家的舆论都五味杂陈。比如韩国总统办公室政策室长金容范7月 31日谈及汽车关税时说，韩方一直坚持的税率是12.5%，但美方表示"全部15%"，"此次协议某种程度上动摇了FTA（自由贸易协定）框架，这令人感到遗 憾"。而作为最早与美国开始贸易谈判的国家之一，印度再次被特朗普批评"关税过高"，而且因为与俄罗斯的经济关系要受到"惩罚"。据美国CNBC网站7月 31日报道梳理，在120天里，白宫已宣布与中国、英国、日本、欧盟、菲律宾、印度尼西亚、越南、韩国等经济体在贸易问题上达成协议或取得重要成果。8 月1日过后，美国发起的"关税战"又将步入一个怎样的阶段？ 美韩说法 " 相互矛盾 " 据韩联社报道，当地时间7月30日，特朗普在白宫与韩国经贸磋商代表团 ...

首先传出的重磅消息是，特朗普在一次公开场合中宣称，中美两国之间的贸易谈判正在接近尾声，预计 双方很快就会达成协议。最近一段时间，特朗普屡屡提到中国的积极态度，甚至在接见菲律宾总统马科 斯时，公开表示菲律宾需与中国建立良好的关系。马科斯听到此言，不禁惊愕，毕竟他在上任之后频频 与中国对立，背后显然是美国的操控意图。 在7月24日的上午，欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩和欧洲理事会主席查尔斯·米歇尔科斯塔亲自抵达 北京，与中国政府的高级领导人进行了重要的会谈。这一联合访华的行动，毫无疑问地传达了中欧关系 的重大意义以及双方在经济、政治等领域加强合作的紧迫性。在这个关键的时刻，正当两位欧洲领导人 深入谈判、寻求共识之际，来自美国的三条消息引发了更为广泛的关注。从分析来看，特朗普在贸易关 税问题上似乎有意收手，但却发现局势已然失控，这让他意识到，想要抽身已为时已晚。 第三条消息来自美国媒体，据称特朗普正在准备对欧盟的大部分产品加征15%的关税。之前，特朗普曾 威胁要对欧洲提高至50%的关税，如果这一报道属实，意味着在面对强硬的欧盟时，特朗普再次选择了 妥协之路。 从以上信息来看，特朗普似乎有意在关税战中收手，但实际上 ...

但鲍威尔手握通胀数据这道防火墙。尽管整体通胀有所回落，核心PCE物价指数仍停留在2.6%，距离2%目标尚有差距。他深知1970年代政治干预央行引发 的滞胀灾难，在美联储内部会议中反复强调：决策必须基于经济数据，而非政治压力。面对特朗普不降息就换人的威胁，他在镜头前那个微小的摇头动作， 成为技术官僚最后的无声抵抗。 特朗普这个人最大的毛病，就是志得意满！本来这件事只出了80分的成绩，他偏要说自己做到了100分。 前几天，美国总统特朗普在摄像机簇拥下径直走向主席鲍威尔，这是二十年来首次有在任总统踏入这个全球金融权力的圣殿。他借视察大楼翻新工程之名， 手指天花板抛出质问：31亿美元！远超预算。 特朗普话音未落，鲍威尔面无表情地摇头纠正数据错误。这场精心编排的逼宫戏背后，特朗普真正目的昭然若揭：当面施压美联储立即启动降息。 PAN 8 3 rig the 27200 20000 15 12 483 are 7 2 2 011 0-11 AND START arm ar sing in 20 03 11 - 6 ten The a are all 018 TIPE AM rall and Press of the st ...
