【文/观察者网 柳白】美国总统特朗普的关税"大棒"，遭美最高法一纸裁决解除武装。尽管特朗普仍指 望通过其他手段维持关税，但美国业界已开始担心，这位美国总统失去了施压中国的重要筹码。 路透社2月20日援引分析人士的话称，在美国最高法院裁定特朗普推行的大规模关税政策越权违法后， 中国不太可能像特朗普数周来一直宣扬的那样继续大规模采购美国大豆。 特朗普2月4日在"真相社交"平台称中国将额外采购800万吨美国大豆后，美豆自该日起上涨8.49%，但20 日早盘交投最活跃的大豆期货小幅下跌。 "特朗普一直在向中国施压，可现在我们要问了，这（项裁决）会不会让中国更不愿接收这批大豆？"美 国期货咨询机构Lakefront Futures高级对冲顾问达林·费斯勒表示，"美国大豆仍比巴西贵。如果没有关税 逼迫，他们凭什么还要买美国大豆？" 作为全球最大大豆进口国，中国年进口量超1亿吨，约占全球大豆贸易总量的60%，长期以来都是美国 豆农的最大买家。 可如今失去关税这一"大棒"后，美国大豆将难以与竞争对手巴西抗衡。巴西当前正迎来大规模丰收，其 大豆价格远低于美国。 此前中美关系遇冷，中方一度暂停采购美国大豆，而随着中美贸易关系缓和 ...

特朗普这家伙又开始折腾了。他在2026年2月私下跟助手们嘀咕，为什么不干脆退出美墨加协定？这协议可是他第一任期亲手谈成的，取代了老的北美自贸 协定。 彭博社2月11日捅出这事儿，说特朗普还没公开表态，但已经问过为什么不撤。协定覆盖的贸易额接近1.8万亿美元，主要是商品和服务。 要是真撤，北美经济得乱套。特朗普一贯的风格，就是用这种威胁当筹码，逼加拿大和墨西哥让步。之前他就威胁过对加拿大商品加100%关税，如果他们 跟中国签贸易协议。 还对加拿大飞机加50%关税，因为没批准某些型号的飞机。墨西哥那边，也因为石油运到古巴的事儿，面临额外关税。这些小动作已经让三国关系紧绷。 美墨加协定是特朗普2018到2020年谈的，花了13个月时间。新协议提高了汽车原产地比例到75%，加强了劳工保护，还打开了加拿大乳制品市场。 加拿大总理特鲁多马上回击，说要对206亿美元美国货加同等关税。墨西哥总统辛鲍姆也批评美国违约，准备用关税和非关税措施反制。 2月3日，三国谈了谈，同意把关税推迟一个月。墨西哥派1万国民警卫队加强边境，美国答应减少武器走私。加拿大设了芬太尼专员，建联合工作组。 可3月4日，关税还是来了。美国加25%，加拿大 ...

此外，一些对华贸易依赖较大的成员国也在担忧，如果与中国的对抗进一步升级，反制措施将直接对本国经济产生冲击。这意味着欧盟内部要形成一致的对 华关税政策几乎是不可能的，所谓的30%关税更多是法国在推动其国内诉求、转移国内压力的政治工具，而不是欧盟的统一意志。即便欧盟最终决定加征关 税，中国也早已准备好反击。一旦欧盟采取违反世贸规则的措施，中国完全可以通过反倾销、反补贴调查等手段进行有针对性的反制。例如，法国的葡萄酒 长期占据着中国市场的一个重要份额，如果局势恶化，像葡萄酒这样的商品必然会成为中方政策评估的对象。通过精准的回应，中国可以施加压力的同时， 也能避免局势失控。与此同时，多边机制仍然是解决争端的重要途径。如果欧盟采取的措施违反了世贸规则，中国完全可以通过申诉程序来维护自身的权 益。近年来，欧盟已对中国发起了多项贸易救济和补贴调查，还在公共采购领域设置了一些限制，而中国的反应，本质上是对这些不公平做法的反向平衡， 而非主动加剧矛盾。 然而，更为重要的是，中国始终强调合作的基本立场没有改变。中欧之间的经贸规模庞大，双方产业结构本身具备互补性。中国不仅 是全球的制造者，还是一个庞大的市场，不仅在持续向外出口产品 ...
