美国最高法院给特朗普来了一记响亮的耳光——6比3，关税违法。全世界都在看日本的反应。 5500亿美元的投资协议，前提条件都没了，这不就是撕毁的最佳时机？日本《每日新闻》的答案让所有 人意外：不敢。 这等于什么？等于特朗普花大力气安排进最高法院的"自己人"，在关键时刻站到了对立面。 这项裁决的杀伤力极大。从2025年4月开始，特朗普以贸易逆差为由对全球加征的"对等关税"、对中国 和加拿大征收的"芬太尼关税"，全部被判定缺乏法律授权。 据耶鲁大学预算实验室估算，裁决生效后美国平均有效关税税率将从16.9%直降至9.1%。更麻烦的是， 已经收上来的关税可能要退。沃顿商学院测算，潜在退税额高达1750亿美元。特朗普自己也承认，退税 问题"可能要再打五年官司"。 裁决一出，全球市场屏息等待。欧盟说"正在审慎分析"，孟加拉国直接表态"协议将失去法律基础"。全 世界都在观望：那些在关税压力下跟美国签了协议的国家，会不会趁机翻盘？ 关税违法了，特朗普当天就掏出了"Plan B" 2026年2月20日，美国最高法院9名大法官投票，6票对3票，裁定特朗普政府依据《国际紧急经济权力 法》实施的大规模关税措施违法。 撰写多数意见的， ...

2025年7月22日，在白宫举行的签约仪式上，美国总统特朗普与日本首相高市早苗共同宣布了一项具有重大意义的贸易框架协议。根据协议内容，日本承 诺到2029年之前，向美国注入5500亿美元资金，重点支持能源、半导体和关键矿产等领域的开发。作为交换，特朗普决定将最初威胁的25%进口关税降至 15%。这项协议的背后，实际上早在特朗普重返白宫后就已经开始酝酿。当时，全球的贸易格局因美国单边的关税政策变得异常紧张，而作为美国在亚太 地区的重要盟友，日本本以为通过长期的军事合作能够获得豁免，没想到却成为了第一个被施压的对象。 从目前的情况来看，美国的策略已逐渐显露出来。在2026年2月17日，美国商务部公布了首批三项投资项目，总金额达到360亿美元，涵盖俄亥俄州的天 然气发电厂、德克萨斯州的原油出口终端以及佐治亚州的合成钻石工厂。这些项目的投资远不止简单的资金注入，它们还要求日本提供技术支持和运营 承诺，与以往的合作方式有所不同，这次更加注重供应链的本地化。俄亥俄的天然气发电厂由日本软银集团子公司SB Energy负责运营，投资额为330亿美 元，产能达到9.2吉瓦，能够满足整个州家庭的用电需求，还能支持数据中心的扩展， ...

特朗普政府一名官员透露，日本将为该天然气电站投资330亿美元，由软银集团（SoftBank Group Corp.）子公司SB Energy牵头运营。 若该电站满负荷运转，发电量相当于9座核反应堆，或可满足PJM Interconnection LLC运营的美国最大电 网覆盖区域内约740万户家庭的用电需求。 作为双方历史性贸易协议的一部分，日本目前已正式、并在资金层面推进其承诺的5500亿美元对美投资 计划中的首批投资项目，计划向美国的石油、天然气与关键矿产项目投资360亿美元。 "我们与日本的重磅贸易协议刚刚启动！" 特朗普周二在社交媒体发文称，"这些项目规模极其庞大，若 非一个非常关键的词——关税，根本无法实现。" 日本首相高市早苗（Sanae Takaichi）表示，这些项目旨在通过在关键矿产、能源与人工智能等经济安 全核心领域的合作，构建韧性供应链。 "我们认为，这一举措完全契合协议核心目标：促进美日互利共赢、保障经济安全、推动经济增长。" 她写道。 美国商务部长霍华德・卢特尼克（Howard Lutnick）在声明中称，最重大的投资是俄亥俄州的一座天然 气设施，预计发电容量达9.2吉瓦，特朗普将这 ...

记者今天（13日）从中国科学院工程热物理研究所获悉，该研究所联合国内企业研制的国际首套零碳复 温天然气压差发电系统，近日在山东曲阜正式投运。该系统核心装备及工艺自主化率100%，发电系统 最高功率为500kW，每年可发电330万度以上，同时该系统通过原创性零碳复温流程，在国际上首次实 现冬季零燃料、零外部补热的工况下出口温度保持0℃以上，突破了天然气压差发电系统推广应用的主 要技术瓶颈。 天然气压差发电系统利用天然气管网在中下游减压时浪费的压力能回收，驱动压差透平膨胀机发电，实 现压力能向电能的转化。但由于天然气膨胀降压后温度降低，其中含有的水分结冰，容易引起冰堵现 象，通常需要燃气加热炉等外部热源加热来解决冰堵问题。本项目研发的国际首套零碳复温天然气压差 发电系统，在实现天然气减压发电的同时，通过流程创新对出口天然气进行复温，整个流程不消耗任何 额外天然气及电能，彻底摆脱了对燃气加热炉等外部热源的依赖，实现了真正意义上的零碳化压差能量 回收。 （文章来源：央视新闻） 国际首套零热源复温天然气压差发电系统的研制成功并正式投运，可有效推动天然气压差发电技术及产 业快速发展，使巨量的天然气门站转变为分布式零碳发电 ...

乔维奇表示，他全力支持美国伙伴投资波黑南部天然气互联互通及所有其他项目。该项目还涉及三 座装机容量各400兆瓦的天然气发电站：第一座电站位于莫斯塔尔，第二座可能建在卡卡尼，第三座可 能建在图兹拉。 乔维奇强调，整个波黑的天然气消耗量只相当于萨格勒布一半的消耗量，因此发电站将成为天然气 的主要消耗方。波黑必须完善自身的基础设施，否则波黑进口的大量天然气将无从消耗。（驻波黑使馆 经商处） 波黑媒体BiznisInfo1月16日报道。波黑克族民主共同体（HDZ）主席德拉甘·乔维奇近日谈及美国 在波黑的基础设施及能源项目时强调，投资者计划建设三座总装机容量达1200兆瓦的天然气发电站。 （原标题：乔维奇透露美国欲在波黑建设天然气发电网络） ...
