Core Viewpoint - The U.S. government has appealed a lower court ruling that overturned President Trump's global tariffs, claiming it negatively impacts ongoing trade negotiations [1][3] Group 1: Legal Proceedings - The U.S. Court of Appeals ruled on August 29 that Trump's imposition of universal tariffs exceeded presidential authority, declaring it illegal [3] - Trump's team filed an emergency petition to the Supreme Court on September 3, seeking a swift decision on whether the case will be heard by September 10 and requesting oral arguments in November [3] Group 2: Economic Implications - Trump warned that a ruling against the tariffs could lead to the cancellation of trade agreements with major economies like the EU, Japan, and South Korea, resulting in significant economic losses for the U.S. [3] - The Trump administration has characterized the potential ruling as an "economic disaster," suggesting it could degrade the U.S. economy to a "third-world" status [3] Group 3: International Reactions - Several trade partners, including India and Brazil, have initiated actions against the U.S. in the WTO, claiming that high tariffs violate international trade rules [4] - The EU has expressed skepticism about the recent tariff agreements with the U.S., indicating potential modifications during the legislative process [4] Group 4: Market Response - Financial markets are showing increased anxiety, particularly in sectors reliant on supply chains, leading investors to favor safe-haven assets like gold [4] - Companies are restructuring supply chains to mitigate the impact of tariffs, including rerouting goods through Canada to avoid layered tariff impacts [4] Group 5: Global Trust Issues - The ongoing legal stalemate is eroding global confidence in U.S. trade policies, raising concerns about the consistency and stability of U.S. regulations [5] - This situation may weaken the global appeal of the U.S. dollar and financial markets in the long term [5]

在与欧盟达成协议后，美国的立场似乎开始动摇。美国商务部长卢特尼克对特朗普赞不绝口，称其短短六个月内取得的成绩令他感到兴奋，并表示，在特朗 普领导下工作是一种享受。他特别提到，美国对欧盟商品征收15%的关税，而对一些其他市场则几乎实行零关税。此外，欧盟20万亿美元的市场已经稳定， 尽管在汽车、医药和半导体领域，欧盟仍有所保留。 卢特尼克强调，任何挑战美国的人将会意识到，与特朗普达成协议的决策是多么的明智。他指出，目前全球都在争夺席位，没有一个国家愿意做最后一个决 定的那个人。他预测，在8月1日这个周五，全球的关税争议将会有明确结果，除了中国。 为何中国成了例外？会后，美国财政部长贝森特显然感到焦虑，他大力批评中国继续购买伊朗石油，并指出中国购买俄罗斯石油的行为。他警告称，如果中 国继续这种做法，可能会面临高达500%的惩罚性关税。这一警告背后，显示出美国在推动全球经济秩序时的强硬姿态。 然而，面对美国与英国、菲律宾、印度尼西亚、日本和欧盟等国达成协议后，特朗普的自信心显然增强了。美国不仅在关税问题上取得了进展，还在地缘战 略上推动了对俄罗斯的更严厉制裁。美国将俄罗斯的最后通牒期限从50天缩短至10天，这无疑是特 ...

贝森特此次访问是其就任财政部长以来首次到访日本。日本首席贸易谈判代表赤泽良圣会前向记者表 示，由于贸易并非此次访问的主要目的，双方并未深入讨论这一议题。不过，赤泽良圣表示会面气氛友 好，涉及多个话题。 据央视新闻报道，继本月7日率先向日本发出"关税通牒"后，美国总统特朗普此前又在美日贸易问题上 老调重弹——日本一直在占美国的便宜。此番言论发表于美国财政部长贝森特计划几天后访问日本之 际，被媒体解读为是在有意敲打石破茂政府。 贝森特方面言辞则更为积极。在东京与石破茂会面后，贝森特表示："良好的协议比匆忙的协议更重 要。美国和日本之间达成互利的贸易协议仍在可能的范围内。" 尽管双方释放积极信号，但距离8月1日美国对日本出口商品的全面关税从10%上调至25%仅剩两周时 间。谈判缺乏具体进展表明，两国在达成协议方面仍有相当距离，特别是针对汽车征收25%关税仍是主 要分歧点。 日本周日即将举行的参议院选举可能进一步复杂化谈判进程。民调显示石破茂领导的执政联盟可能失去 多数席位，这将削弱其在贸易谈判中的地位。 关税争议成为核心障碍 石破茂在会后告诉记者，两人没有讨论贸易具体细节，但希望美国国庆日活动能展现强劲的美日同盟关 ...
