在这样的大背景下，铀贸易成了筹码。美国的核燃料供应链从矿石到浓缩再到燃料组件，环节众多，短期替代并不迅速。尽管国会已经为新产能拨款9亿美 元，但要到2028年禁令正式生效并完全转向非俄供应，时间远未到位。普京抛出"持续稳定供应"的承诺，是精确计算后的策略：绑定美国核电站的"连续 性"，就能迫使华盛顿在某些节点上保持基本沟通，而不是一味切割。配合这套策略，他在讲话中评价当前的美国政府"直来直去"，并不玩"虚伪那一套"， 显然是针对特朗普的风格发话。年初，特朗普暂停过一部分对乌军事援助，俄军随即在库尔斯克方向推进了10公里，收复几个村庄；近日他又批准战斧导弹 出口，但库存有限，真正的采购要等到2026年才计划买57枚，更像一纸对内信号。克里姆林宫的估算很朴素：若特朗普的实用主义占上风，乌克兰援助节奏 可能放缓，俄方就有时间"喘口气"。为此，莫斯科的节奏是分步走——先把铀业务稳住，年底前供应量或增一成；再释放合作信息；随后对导弹交易表达关 切，把可能的升级风险标注给对方政界。 索契的那句重话，像是从经济机房里拧出来的阀门。在瓦尔代俱乐部第22届年会上，2025年10月2日，普京公开说，恢复与美国的全面关系符合俄罗斯 ...

几天后，特朗普直接对巴西宣布加征50%的关税，解释道："金砖国家本身并不是威胁，但他们正在削弱美元的主导地位，试图推动新的国际货币规则。如 果美元失去全球储备货币的地位，美国将遭遇巨大的损失。我作为总统，必须维护美元在全球的主导地位，这绝不会在我的任内发生。" 普京为何在"去美元化"问题上改口，俄罗斯在关键时刻为何选择退缩？ 近期，俄罗斯总统普京在"瓦尔代"国际辩论俱乐部的讲话中指出，俄罗斯并没有实施"去美元化"政策，也没有组织相关运动。他解释道，俄罗斯并非主动放 弃美元，而是因为"在国际上无法使用美元支付"，因此才选择使用本国货币进行交易。 他进一步回应了特朗普关于金砖国家"去美元化"的指控，强调金砖国家的政策仅与其自身成员国相关，不会对任何第三方施加此类措施。普京明确表 示："我们没有反美元的政策，也没有去美元的运动。我们完全没有！我们只是被阻止使用美元，因此只能转向本国货币。" 从中可以看出，尽管美俄关系僵局重重，普京并不希望在这个问题上与特朗普产生直接冲突，特别是在当前美国对俄罗斯的制裁背景下。普京深知"去美元 化"是特朗普非常敏感的外交议题之一，因此在公开讲话时选择了尽量避免激怒特朗普，为日后可能的 ...
