新华社北京8月7日电（记者于荣）美国政府此前公布的经过调整的"对等关税"于7日生效。美数十 个贸易伙伴将被征收10%至41%不等的关税。连日来，美国虽与多个贸易伙伴达成协议，但在关键细节 上仍存在明显分歧，如何落实面临诸多不确定因素。 国际观察人士认为，美国以自身利益最大化为目标，通过关税手段讹诈他国，在全球范围内招致强 烈反对和质疑。在不少国家眼中，美方强加的协议利益不平衡、细节不明晰，美方加征关税不仅损害贸 易伙伴利益，还破坏多边贸易体制，是经济殖民主义的又一体现，最终将导致美国自身陷入孤立。 不平等的协议 目前，美国仅与英国、越南、印度尼西亚、菲律宾、日本、欧盟、韩国等达成贸易协议。这些协议 都是美国以自身利益最大化为目标，通过政治胁迫和经济讹诈手段达成的。 这是8月5日在加拿大里士满拍摄的弗雷泽河上的木材。加拿大总理卡尼5日宣布，受美国加征关税等因 素影响，政府将提供12亿加元支持加拿大软木材行业发展。新华社发（梁森摄） 协议确定的关税税率已背离美方所谓的"对等"说法：绝大多数贸易伙伴的输美产品将面临15%以上 关税，却无法对进口美国商品征收同等税率的关税，甚至对美国商品免关税。以美欧协议为例，美方将 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent trade agreement between the EU and the US, touted by President Trump as "the largest trade agreement in history," includes a commitment from the EU to purchase $750 billion worth of energy products from the US, which has raised skepticism regarding its feasibility and implementation [1][2][9]. Group 1: EU's Energy Procurement Challenges - The EU's current energy imports from the US amount to only $759 million, which is less than one-third of the proposed annual target of $250 billion over the next three years [4][5]. - The procurement of energy is primarily managed by private companies rather than government entities, making it difficult for the EU to direct where and how much energy is purchased from the US [4][5]. - The energy procurement agreement conflicts with the EU's own energy development goals, as it aims to reduce reliance on Russian gas, while only a small fraction of the EU's gas imports currently come from Russia [5][6].

Group 3: Political and Structural Implications - The agreement lacks legal binding and is viewed more as a political vision rather than a practical plan, with significant adjustments needed in global energy flows to fulfill the procurement targets [9][11]. - The EU's commitment to increase energy procurement from the US is seen as a response to the geopolitical pressures following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has forced the EU to diversify its energy sources [10][11]. - The potential for the agreement to reshape global energy trade dynamics exists, but its immediate impact is expected to be limited, with long-term changes requiring further evaluation [10][11].
