美国对韩施压索要天价预付款，韩国陷入两难困境 面对美方压力，韩国总统李在明提出折中方案：以贷款或担保形式分期投入资金，并要求在成本回收后确保韩国获得30%以上的利润。韩方还希望资金能重 点投向造船、半导体等优势产业。但美方态度强硬，其谈判代表甚至暗示：既然日本能承诺5500亿美元预付款，韩国为何不能接受3500亿？ 值得注意的是，韩国目前外汇储备约4100亿美元，若一次性支付3500亿，将导致外汇储备几近枯竭。李在明总统警告，这种情况可能重蹈1997年金融危机的 覆辙。相较之下，日本1.32万亿美元的外储确实更有承受能力。 分析人士指出，美国此举凸显其欺软怕硬的外交策略。面对中国等大国时有所顾忌，但对韩国这样的盟友却肆无忌惮。目前驻韩美军约2.85万人，每年军费 分摊问题本就争议不断，如今又加码经济施压，令韩国陷入伴君如伴虎的困境。 1. 美国单边主义愈演愈烈，完全不顾盟友利益。从拜登时期的乌克兰政策到如今对韩国的压榨，都显示出美国将盟友视为可牺牲的棋子。 近日，美韩之间一场涉及巨额资金的博弈引发国际关注。美国总统特朗普公开宣称将获得韩国3500亿美元（约合人民币2.5万亿元）的预付款，这一言论随 即遭到韩国 ...

Core Viewpoint - Trump's tariff strategy, particularly the 50% tariff on Indian agricultural products, is causing significant distress for Indian farmers and is perceived as a threat to their livelihoods, leading to a backlash against Modi's government [2][3][10].

Group 2: Brazil's Response - Brazilian President Lula's reaction to Trump's tariffs is one of defiance, indicating a willingness to retaliate against U.S. trade policies [6][8]. - Lula's refusal to engage with the White House and his pivot towards collaboration with India and China signifies a shift in global economic alliances [10][11]. Group 3: Global Economic Repercussions - The tariffs are catalyzing a unification among BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) against U.S. economic dominance, suggesting a potential shift towards de-dollarization [10][11]. - The current economic turbulence is not just about tariffs but represents a broader restructuring of the global economic order, challenging U.S. trade hegemony [11][13].

Group 1 - The Trump administration is facing unprecedented trade challenges, with the 125% tariffs on China not yielding the desired results, and the 90-day tariff suspension for over 70 countries approaching its deadline [1][3] - The U.S. Treasury Secretary confirmed that Trump is considering extending the tariff suspension, indicating that over 70 countries may temporarily avoid high tariff impacts [1][3] - China's strong stance in the negotiations has led to significant pressure on the U.S. from other economies, highlighting a profound shift in the global trade landscape due to China's strategic determination [1][3] Group 2 - Trump's tariff policy has undergone dramatic reversals, initially announcing equal tariffs on over 70 countries, only to suspend them shortly after while maintaining punitive tariffs on China [3][6] - The U.S. has struggled to achieve concessions from China during negotiations, with other countries, except the UK, failing to reach agreements, revealing the failure of the U.S. strategy to isolate China [3][6] - The U.S. is now likely to extend the tariff suspension for countries engaging in "good faith negotiations," although this is perceived as a unilateral demand that faces widespread resistance [6][8] Group 3 - China's rare earth exports have become a critical bargaining chip, with the U.S. heavily reliant on China for 90% of its rare earth needs, indicating potential severe impacts if exports are fully banned [6][8] - The global trade system is witnessing new trends, with China's advantages and multilateral cooperation strategies effectively countering U.S. tariff measures, leading to unprecedented challenges for U.S. unilateralism [8]
