一项新研究显示，是美国人而非外国人承担了美国关税的几乎全部成本，这一结论与美国总统唐纳德． 特朗普的一项关键主张相悖，也意味着在与欧洲再度燃起的贸易战中，特朗普手中的筹码可能更少。 特朗普一再声称，他去年积极部署的历史性关税将由外国人买单，这些关税既是创收工具，也是外交政 策工具。这类说法有助于强化特朗普的议价能力，并鼓励外国政府与美国达成协议。 备受推崇的德国智库基尔世界经济研究所（Kiel Institute for the World Economy）于周一发布的这项新研 究显示，关税的影响可能会随著时间的推移，以美国消费者价格上涨的形式显现出来。通过分析2024年 1月至2025年11月期间价值4万亿美元的货运数据，基尔世界经济研究所的研究人员发现，面对美国去年 加征的关税，外国出口商通过降价仅吸收了约4%的成本，而美国消费者和进口商则吸收了96%。报告 认为，这些关税实质上并非针对外国生产商征税，而是对美国人变相征收的消费税。 责任编辑：王永生 一项新研究显示，是美国人而非外国人承担了美国关税的几乎全部成本，这一结论与美国总统唐纳德． 特朗普的一项关键主张相悖，也意味着在与欧洲再度燃起的贸易战中，特 ...
