据环球时报报道，韩国与美国就关税问题近日在韩国济州岛展开为期3天的协商。据韩国纽西斯通讯社日前报 道，韩国产业通商资源部长官安德根定于16日与美国贸易代表格里尔在时隔3周后再次会面。此次会谈能否形成 韩美关税谈判的具体轮廓备受关注。 特朗普（资料图） 韩联社此前指出，美国对韩国进口商品的关税税率（25%）高于日本（24%）和欧盟（20%），将导致韩国在对 美出口竞争中处于不利地位。 韩国代行总统职权的国务总理韩德洙韩德洙表示，全球关税战已成现实，当前经济形势极为严峻，政府必须全力 以赴，克服当前的贸易危机。韩德洙指示产业通商资源部长官安德根携手韩企就美方对等关税措施的具体内容进 行分析，积极与美方开展沟通协商，为汽车等受影响较大的行业和企业制定扶持政策。 多年来，韩国对美出口不断增长，2024年出口总额已达1278亿美元，对美贸易顺差更创下557亿美元的历史新 高。然而，这一成就并未为韩国赢得贸易上的优待，反而成为特朗普"秋后算账"的借口。特朗普高举"对等关 税"大旗，本质上并非追求真正的贸易平衡，而是一次赤裸裸的经济霸凌。在他眼中，任何拥有顺差的国家，都 是"薅美国羊毛"的掠夺者。而韩国，恰恰是他眼中"过于 ...
