德国财政部长拉尔斯 克林拜尔在接受《周日图片报》(Bild am Sonntag)采访时，呼吁在欧盟与美国不断 升级的贸易争端中保持克制。这家德国周日报纸援引克林拜尔的话称："我们现在不需要更多挑衅，而 是需要严肃的谈判。"克林拜尔表示，他已与美国财政部长斯科特 贝森特(Scott Bessent)就"这一问题"进 行了讨论。克林拜尔称："美国的关税对美国经济的威胁，至少与对德国和欧洲经济的威胁一样大。这 场贸易冲突伤害了所有人，必须尽快结束。"克林拜尔的言论呼应了欧盟官员对美国总统唐纳德 特朗普 (Donald Trump)周五威胁的回应——特朗普称将于6月1日起对欧盟进口商品加征50%关税，这一表态导 致大西洋两岸股市暴跌。(新浪财经) ...

美国总统特朗普23日威胁自6月1日起对进口自欧盟的商品征收50%关税，远高于美国此前宣布对欧暂缓 的20%所谓"对等关税"，招致欧盟方面强烈不满并引发资本市场再次动荡。美欧贸易磋商仍在进行中， 美方为何突然提议对欧加征高额关税？欧盟方面将如何应对？美欧关税博弈将产生哪些影响？ 美方为何再次威胁？ 特朗普当天在社交媒体上表示，欧盟在贸易方面"很难打交道"，美欧贸易磋商"毫无进展"。因此，他建 议自6月1日起对进口自欧盟的商品征收50%关税。《华盛顿邮报》援引欧洲消息人士的话报道，这一关 税威胁令欧盟方面"措手不及"。 分析人士认为，这一表态显示美方不满谈判进展。美国财政部长贝森特当天也表示，对欧盟方面给出的 方案不满意，而且欧盟"存在集体行动问题"。有美国媒体援引欧洲国家官员的话报道，美方要求欧盟单 方面让步，却几乎没有提供任何回报，给欧盟出了难题，因为任何欧盟成员对谈判结果不满都会阻止或 拖延协议通过。 现阶段，美欧在贸易领域分歧较大，欧盟有意在购买美国天然气、武器和农产品方面作出让步，但不会 接受美国有关取消增值税、削弱数字监管和税收以及降低食品标准的要求。 另外，有分析认为，美国政府对当前美欧关系并不满意 ...
