摩根大通首席执行官杰米·戴蒙提出了他对西方世界未来的构想——这一构想的核心在于欧洲需要重振其疲软的经济并增强自身的防御能力。
JPMorgan Chase boss Jamie Dimon is pitching his vision for the Western world's future — and it hinges on Europe rebooting its sluggish economy and strengthening its defense capabilities.
“我认为美国应该向欧洲提供重要的激励：如果欧洲能够实施有意义的经济和军事改革（包括那些我们认为对国家安全和韧性至关重要的改革），美国将会与欧洲谈判达成一项全面、互利的经济与自由贸易协定，”戴蒙在周一发表于《华尔街日报》的一篇评论文章中写道。
"I believe the U.S. should offer Europe a major inducement: If it executes meaningful economic and military reforms, including everything that we consider crucial for security and resiliency, the U.S. will negotiate one big, beautiful economic and free-trade agreement with Europe," Dimon wrote in an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal published on Monday.
“与这项协定的规模和带来的好处相比，目前欧洲与美国之间的许多争端都显得微不足道。这项协定还可以扩展到包括加拿大、墨西哥、日本、韩国、澳大利亚和菲律宾在内的友好民主国家，”戴蒙补充道。
"Many of the current disputes between Europe and the U.S. are minor compared with this agreement's size and benefits. This pact could be extended to friendly democracies including Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Australia and the Philippines," Dimon said.
他认为，无缝的贸易联系将对美国及其盟友产生“颠覆性影响”，使他们能够“制定全球贸易规则”，并在面对专制国家的压力时共同保持团结。
Seamless trade ties would be a "game changer" for the U.S. and its allies, allowing them to "set the global rules on trade" and binding them together "in the face of autocratic pressure," he added.
戴蒙所倡导的自由贸易政策与特朗普政府目前推行的保护主义政策形成了鲜明对比。
The free trade approach advocated by Dimon stands in contrast to the more protectionist policies currently pursued by the Trump administration.
由于唐纳德·特朗普总统实施关税以及采取对抗性的谈判策略，美国与其一些主要贸易伙伴（包括欧盟和加拿大）的关系已经恶化。
Washington's relationship with some of its biggest trade partners, including the European Union and Canada, have soured amid President Donald Trump's rollout of tariffs and combative negotiating tactics.
在这篇文章中，戴蒙特别指出欧盟需要完成其期待已久的资本市场联盟和银行业联盟，以提高自身的竞争力；同时还需要落实德拉吉报告中的各项建议，并确保欧盟在国防、制造业和能源方面的自主性。
Dimon's WSJ op-ed singled out the European Union's need to complete its long-awaited Capital Markets Union and Banking Union in order to boost its competitiveness; fulfilling the recommendations of the Draghi report; and ensuring the bloc's defense, manufacturing and energy independence.
“一个能够有效调动资本、扶持创新企业、整合国防产业、减少战略依赖并实现强劲经济增长的欧洲，将是一个更强大的安全伙伴、更具有韧性的经济伙伴，同时也是对抗中国经济实力的有力力量，”戴蒙表示。
"A Europe that can mobilize capital, scale innovative companies, consolidate defense production, reduce strategic dependencies and generate stronger growth would be a more capable security partner, a more resilient economic partner and a stronger counterweight to Beijing's economic power," he said.
这位银行业巨头此前曾多次批评欧洲：欧洲缺乏具有全球影响力的企业、经济增长乏力，且在某些关键领域缺乏自主性。去年，在爱尔兰举行的一场活动中，他对欧洲的商界和政界领袖表示：“与美国和亚洲相比，你们正在落后。”
It is not the first time the banking chief has taken aim at Europe's lack of globally-important companies, stuttering economic growth and lack of sovereignty in key spaces. Last year, he told European business and political leaders at an event in Ireland that, compared with the U.S. and Asia, "you're losing."
本周，戴蒙再次强调美国必须采取措施，确保自己继续保持全球领先的军事和经济地位，并重振“美国梦”与“美国价值观”——这些价值观正在许多美国公民心中逐渐衰落。他表示：“如果美国重新坚定对自身价值观和盟友关系的承诺，并同时推动欧洲进行大胆的改革，那么这将在地缘政治和经济领域产生重大积极影响，确保西方世界在未来250年内依然保持强势。”
Dimon also wrote this week that the U.S. must take steps to ensure it remains the world's pre-eminent military and economic power, and reinvigorate "the American dream and American values, which are weakening for too many of our fellow citizens." "A renewed commitment to American values and alliances coupled with bold reforms by Europe would be a geopolitical and economic home run, guaranteeing the Western world's strength for the next 250 years," he said.
