美国财长贝森特周五表示，尽管有位关键参议员对提名持保留态度，参议院金融委员会已同意推进对总 统特朗普提名沃什接任美联储主席的确认听证会。 贝森特于周五在CNBC上提到，他周二会见了一群共和党参议员，并已就启动前美联储理事沃什 （Kevin Warsh）的听证会达成协议。 负责审查美联储提名人选的参议院银行业委员会成员蒂利斯（Thom Tillis）此前誓言，在司法部对美联 储总部25亿美元翻修工程的调查结束前，他将阻挠美联储的任何任命。 贝森特指出："蒂利斯希望推迟银行业委员会的任何表决，从而阻止提名进入参议院全体投票阶段。"但 他同时强调："我认为启动听证会至关重要，且我们已达成了相关协议。鲍威尔主席的任期将于5月中旬 届满，任何关心美联储诚信与独立性的人士都希望看到凯文·沃什能确保连续性。" 关于指控的疑问 本周早些时候，蒂利斯拒绝了一项建议，即由参议院银行业委员会对鲍威尔关于翻修项目的证词进行独 立调查，以取代司法部的调查。 贝森特本人拒绝就司法部的案件发表评论，但他提醒道，尽管美联储已收到传票，但"这并不意味着一 定会提起诉讼"。他还提到，参议院银行业委员会主席、共和党人斯科特（Tim Scott）曾 ...

去年夏天，特朗普对进口钢铁和铝制品征收了高达50%的关税，并将这些税收扩大到包括洗衣机、烤箱 在内的多种金属制品。该举措对美国其他主要贸易伙伴造成严重冲击，包括加拿大、欧盟、墨西哥和韩 国。所谓"衍生产品"(即含有钢铁或铝的产品)也被纳入征税清单使得企业在识别其从海外采购商品中所 含金属比例时面临艰巨任务。 智通财经APP获悉，为应对日益严峻的通胀压力并挽救中期选举前的选民支持率，据知情人士透露，特 朗普政府计划缩减部分钢铁和铝制品关税。这些关税在加剧美国消费者"可负担性危机"的同时，也令企 业在计算成本时面临困难。知情人士表示，美国贸易代表办公室正努力解决去年商务部仓促推进美国总 统特朗普关税议程所引发的复杂问题。这位知情人士称，白宫已向企业传达正在酝酿调整方案，但具体 细节和时间安排仍不明确。 此外，放松钢铝制品关税也被视为简化当前复杂游说机制的一部分。自加关税以来，美国企业可以通 过"纳入程序"游说政府，将竞争对手的相关进口产品列入加税范围。美国商务部通常会批准这些以"国 家安全风险"为由的申请，涉及商品甚至包括自行车零部件等。 本周，特朗普对美国进口商品征收的关税在国会以及国会预算办公室和纽约联邦储备 ...

Core Viewpoint - The potential withdrawal of the United States from the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is being evaluated by President Trump, creating significant uncertainty in the ongoing negotiations among the three countries, which cover approximately $2 trillion in trade and services [1][2].
