据世界贸易组织（WTO）负责人称，全球贸易正面临八十年来的严峻考验，必须重新构想供应链，以在日益碎片化的世界中确保持续韧性。
World trade is facing its sternest test in eight decades and must reimagine supply lines to guarantee resilience in the face of an increasingly fragmented globe, according to the head of the World Trade Organization.
世贸组织总干事恩戈齐·奥孔乔-伊韦阿拉（Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala）在接受彭博电视主持人弗朗辛·拉克瓦（Francine Lacqua）采访时表示：“这是全球贸易前所未有的时刻。我们正目睹贸易中断和新兴的碎片化现象，这种情况自八十年前以来从未见过。”随着美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对贸易伙伴反复无常的关税政策挑战世贸组织规范，并引发外界对该成立三十年的组织运作方式的质疑，世贸组织正受到密切关注。
“This is an unprecedented time for global trade,” Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said in an interview on Bloomberg Television with Francine Lacqua. “We are seeing disruptions to trade, emerging fragmentation, in a way we’ve not seen since really eighty years.”The body has been under intense scrutiny as US President Donald Trump’s on-again-off-again tariffs on trading partners challenge WTO norms and provoke questions about how the three-decade-old organization operates.
这位前尼日利亚财政部长表示：“许多世贸组织成员开始觉得现行规则不再对他们有效。”
“Many members of the WTO are beginning to feel that the rules no longer work for them,” said Okonjo-Iweala, a former Nigerian finance minister.
中东冲突也扰乱了关键燃料供应的海上航线，引发了能源危机，并凸显了供应链多元化的必要性。
Conflict in the Middle East has also disrupted critical sea routes for vital supplies of fuel, sparking an energy crisis and hammering home the need for diversification.
奥孔乔-伊韦阿拉表示，生产应去中心化，分散到其他具有比较优势的地区，而不是依赖单一地理区域或地点。她指出，这并不容易，“但世界必须现在开始行动，目前已有部分进展。”
“Instead of being dependent on one geography or one place,” production should be decentralized to other places with a comparative advantage, Okonjo-Iweala said. It won’t be easy “but the world needs to begin now and there’s some of that happening,” she said.
