最近美国老百姓有点闹心，超市里的碎牛肉价蹭蹭往上涨，眼看万圣节要到了，给孩子买套服装都得掂量半天。 这两件事看着不搭界，追根溯源都和特朗普的关税政策脱不了干系。 现在美国市场上的碎牛肉，一斤差不多要七美元了，比之前贵了不少。 在美国做餐饮的朋友说进货时明显感觉成本高了，好些快餐店的汉堡套餐都悄悄涨了价。 牛肉涨价不是没原因的，美国有些地方闹干旱，牧场主们养不起那么多牛，只能缩减牛群数量。 牛少了，供应自然就跟不上，需求却没减，价格往上走是必然的。 更关键的是，特朗普之前给不少贸易伙伴加了关税，像巴西这些原本给美国供牛肉的国家，进口量直接降了下来。 这么一来，市场上的牛肉更紧张了。 按说特朗普一直喊着"美国制造"，凡事都要优先本土产品。 可这次他却改了主意，说要从阿根廷进口牛肉，这个转变挺让人意外的。 他自己也说了，买阿根廷牛肉就是为了增加供应，把价格压下来。 特朗普这么做也有自己的考量，美国刚给了阿根廷两百亿美元的经济支持，还帮着稳定他们的货币。 正好阿根廷总统米莱访美，双方在谈自由贸易协定，牛肉贸易算是其中的一个筹码。 而且特朗普对米莱挺有好感，还想借着阿根廷削弱中国在拉美的影响力。 但美国本土的养牛户不干 ...
