美国投资银行高盛首席经济学家扬·哈祖斯当地时间13日在接受德国媒体采访时表示，美国和欧盟之间的新贸易协议虽已达成，但欧盟内部对此有很多不满 的声音。并且由于关税影响，协议将会导致欧盟输美商品价格上涨，而这部分关税负担最终可能将会由美国消费者承担。 哈祖斯援引德国经济研究所的一项研究称，即使欧盟不对美国采取报复性关税，美国也可能会"自吞苦果"，因为美国加征关税目录中，很大一部分商品是美 国特别依赖欧盟供应的商品，这些商品在新贸易协议生效后，价格会上涨，而这些额外成本，最终都会落到美国消费者身上。目前美国对欧盟进口的核反应 堆部件、起重机、卡车等商品的依赖性较强，暂时没有更好的替代来源。 哈佛大学经济学教授肯尼斯·罗戈，曾经在国际货币基金组织担任首席经济学家，他在接受德国《商报》采访时称，未来5年美国可能会出现严重的债务危 机，目前在美国投资不是一个安全的选择。 0:00 美国投资银行高盛首席经济学家扬·哈祖斯表示，美国总统特朗普推出加征关税政策之后宣称，这一关税政策只对美国有利，相关的负担完全由外国来承 担。但事实上，这一说法站不住脚。 哈佛经济学教授：美关税政策效果适得其反 罗戈说，目前美国国债飙升速度令人难 ...
