特朗普上任后不久，便开始对美国的贸易政策进行大刀阔斧的改革。2025年4月2日，他直接宣布对全球 征收关税，基本税率定为10%，而对于一些特定国家，则额外加征关税，汽车类产品的关税则设定为 25%。这一举动引起了全球的关注，股市一度因市场的不安而大幅下跌。为了给各国更多的谈判时间， 特朗普在4月9日宣布暂停这一计划90天。然而，经过一段时间的谈判，到了7月23日，全球仅有五个国 家达成了协议：英国、中国、越南、印尼和菲律宾。其他国家要么拖延，要么坚决反抗。虽然日本曾传 出与特朗普政府的谈判动向，但最终并未签署协议。对于全球超过150个国家来说，这五个协议的比例 几乎微不足道。特朗普原本的打算是通过关税收割全球财富，同时刺激美国制造业的回流，但现实效果 远未达到预期。 特朗普的贸易策略非常直接。他认为美国的贸易逆差过大，必须通过关税施加压力，迫使其他国家作出 让步。在他看来，美国过去在国际贸易中一直吃亏，其他国家设置了高关税，而美国则保持低税率，结 果导致美国的工厂外流，工作机会大量流失。自从2025年他上任后，特朗普便开始调整美国的贸易政 策，他任命了贾米森·格里尔担任贸易代表，以及霍华德·卢特尼克担任商务部 ...
