美国似乎在与墨西哥的贸易协定谈判上出现了倒退。据称，美国商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克坚持要求对与美国最大的贸易伙伴之间的钢铁、铝及汽车产品继续征收关税，这一立场使得谈判前景充满不确定性。
The US appeared to step back from progress on a trade deal with Mexico. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s reported insistence that steel, aluminum, and car levies remain in place with Washington’s biggest commercial partner has thrown the negotiations into question.
有专家警告称，若进一步破坏美国、墨西哥与加拿大之间的三方自由贸易协定，将可能危及众多美国企业的财务状况，并导致美国商品价格上涨。
An expert warned that further undoing the countries’ trilateral free trade agreement with Canada could “jeopardize the financial health” of many American companies, while making US goods more expensive.
不过另一方面，尽管美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对购买俄罗斯石油的国家征收100%的关税——而印度正是全球第二大俄罗斯石油进口国——但美印之间的贸易谈判似乎仍在稳步推进。美国驻印度大使表示：“整体框架与核心议题均已达成共识。”
Elsewhere, however, trade talks between Washington and New Delhi appeared to be gaining momentum — despite US President Donald Trump imposing 100% tariffs on buyers of Russian oil, of which India is the world’s second-biggest. “The big picture, the big framework, the big items are done,” Washington’s ambassador to India said.
