日本首相：美方公布的关税信息令人遗憾 将继续进行谈判 据央视新闻报道，针对美国总统特朗普公布的致日本等方面的关税相关信函，8日，日本首相石破茂 称，美方公布的信息令人遗憾。此外，石破茂做出指示，继续与美方就关税进行谈判。8日，日本政 府将于首相官邸召开综合对策本部会议，以应对美国总统特朗普宣布对日本进口商品征收25%关税 一事。石破茂也将出席会议，据测其将指示相关阁僚继续就取消关税进行谈判。 韩总统府今日将举行会议 应对美关税措施 特朗普宣布对南非征收30%关税 南非回应 据环球网援引路透社当地时间7日报道，南非总统办公室就美国总统特朗普宣布对南非征收30%关税一 事作出回应，质疑美方所依据的贸易数据，并表示需等待更多信息才能进一步谈判。路透社援引南非方 面的话称，"南非坚持认为，30%的'对等关税'并不能准确反映当前的贸易数据。根据我们对现有贸易数 据的解读，进入南非的进口商品平均关税为7.6%。重要的是，56%的商品以最惠国待遇零关税进入南 非，77%的美国商品以零关税进入南非市场。"南非方面表示，南非将继续通过外交渠道努力，推动与 美国建立更加平衡、互利的贸易关系，但目前仍在等待美方承诺提供的协议框架模 ...

越南在当前的国际贸易环境中，始终扮演着一个复杂的角色。从急于野蛮生长到背负压力而妥协，越南的选择值得我们深思。未来，越南必须重新审 视与大国间的关系，以更为长远的眼光布局，以确保自身在国际经济舞台上的稳定成长。在风云变幻的全球经济形势中，越南能否找到一条适合自己 的发展道路，值得我们拭目以待。 在特朗普与越南达成的贸易协议中，越南同意全面开放市场，以零关税对待美国商品。然而，该协议所换来的却只是特朗普轻微的让步：对越南加征 的关税从46%下调至20%。换句话说，尽管美国在一定程度上放松了对越的贸易限制，但越南同样面临着被迫迎合特朗普要求的局面。更重要的是， 这份协议明确指出，任何通过越南转口至美国的商品，都将被征收40%的关税，这意味着中国商品经越南进入美国市场的可能性将基本被封死。 正如一些分析人士所言，越南的这种策略似乎是自我设限。在短期内，越南或许能够借助与美国的合作获得经济利益，但长期来看，这种以牺牲他国 利益为代价的妥协，必然会使越南在国际贸易中面临更大的风险。 值得注意的是，越南对外经济的高度依赖，使得其在与美国的谈判中处于劣势。根据统计，去年越南对美出口达到1200亿美元，占其GDP的近29%。 ...
