特朗普承认美国输给了中国和俄罗斯，拜登承担的责任无法回避 在最近的一次新闻发布会上，美国总统特朗普透露，曾经与匈牙利总理欧尔班会晤，讨论 俄乌冲突时，欧尔班提出了一个令人深思的观点。欧尔班将俄罗斯的军事优势和中国的贸易实力进行对比，并对特朗普说："俄罗斯通过战争获得了国家生 存所需的一切，而中国在贸易上击败了美国，俄罗斯通过战争击败了你们（美国）。"特朗普随后补充道："中国通过贸易不会击败美国，至少在我执政期间 不会。但拜登政府输给了中国。" 欧尔班的这番话，虽然简单直接，但为特朗普理清了美国所面临的外部压力，可以将其分为两条主线：一方面是与中国的经贸竞争，涵盖了关税、市场准 入、供应链以及产业链的主导权；另一方面是与俄罗斯的对抗，过去三年，俄罗斯与美国拼的是硬实力和战场消耗。欧尔班的分析或许过于简化，但它恰好 为特朗普所接受，因为这符合特朗普将美国利益最大化的目标。 从特朗普的政治生涯来看，他始终将自己视为一名"商人总统"。作为一位善于做交易的商 人，特朗普在经贸问题上擅长利用关税、谈判等手段来达成美国的利益。而在安全问题上，他更倾向于通过外交和谈判来结束冲突，避免无休止的战争，并 将更多资源转向国内或亚太 ...
