唐纳德·特朗普表示,出于国家安全考虑,他将暂缓对风力涡轮机及其零部件征收关税,并指示美国贸易代表和商务部长与贸易伙伴进行协商,要求他们在180天内提交报告。
Donald Trump said he will hold off on imposing tariffs on wind turbines and their components on national security grounds, instead ordering the US Trade Representative and Commerce secretary to consult with trading partners and report back in 180 days.
在周四签署的行政命令中,特朗普指出某些风力涡轮机及其零部件已经受到针对铝、铜和钢铁的关税限制,这些关税旨在应对国家安全威胁。他要求官员们“共同推动相关协议的谈判,或继续现有的谈判进程”,以解决这些进口问题。
In an executive order signed Thursday, Trump noted certain wind turbines and their components are already subject to other tariffs on aluminum, copper and steel intended to address national security threats. He directed officials to “jointly pursue negotiation of agreements or continue any current negotiations of agreements” to address the imports.
特朗普在命令中还表示:“根据谈判的进展或结果,我未来可能会考虑采取其他补救措施。”
“Depending on the status or outcome of such negotiations, I may consider alternative remedies in the future,” Trump said in the order.
2025年8月,特朗普政府宣布将根据《贸易扩张法》第232条对进口风力涡轮机及其零部件的安全影响展开调查;该条款授权政府实施进口限制。
The Trump administration in August 2025 said it was opening an investigation into the security implications of importing wind turbines and their components under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, which authorizes import restrictions.
批评者认为,对风力涡轮机征收关税会削弱提高国内能源生产的努力,并会对盟国经济中的相关制造商造成负面影响。
Critics argued tariffs on wind turbines would undermine efforts to boost domestic energy production and would have targeted manufacturers in allied economies.
周四的这一决定很可能会让长期以来一直反对这一政策的行业感到宽慰。特朗普曾多次抨击风能产业,称风力涡轮机外观难看,还会破坏他旗下高尔夫球场的景观。
Thursday’s announcement will likely be met with relief by an industry long opposed by the president. Trump has repeatedly attacked wind energy, saying turbines are unattractive and claiming that they ruined the views at some of his golf courses.
在今年早些时候,美国最高法院裁定特朗普的关税政策违宪后,特朗普试图重新构建自己的全球关税体系。此后,他利用被认为更具法律效力的手段,对来自多个国家和多个行业的进口商品实施了关税;不过,自今年2月裁决以来实施的几项关税也面临法律挑战。
Trump has sought to rebuild his global tariff wall after the US Supreme Court ruled against his sweeping duties earlier this year. The president has since targeted imports from both individual countries and broad sectors of industry using authorities thought to be more legally durable, though several of the tariffs introduced since the February ruling are also facing court challenges.
除了风力涡轮机及其零部件外,美国最近还调查了包括家具、半导体和关键矿产在内的大约十几个行业。
Along with wind turbines and their components, the US has recently investigated roughly a dozen other sectors including furniture, semiconductors and critical minerals.
在特朗普的第二个任期内,商务部曾多次采取类似措施,推迟实施关税。此前针对半导体和关键矿产所涉及的国家安全问题进行的调查,也促使贸易部门与经济伙伴协商,以解决其中的一些问题。
The Commerce Department has made similar moves to hold off on tariffs after other investigations during Trump’s second term. Probes into national security concerns around semiconductors and critical minerals instructed trade agencies to address at least some of the issues with economic partners.
该指令还规定:任何新的关税措施都应推迟到11月3日的中期选举之后再实施。特朗普的关税政策越来越不受欢迎;最近一项福克斯新闻的民意调查显示,公众对这项政策的反对率甚至超过了特朗普本人(反对率为69%)。
The directive also kicks any additional duties until after the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Trump’s tariffs have been increasingly unpopular, with a recent Fox News poll showing they have a higher disapproval rate than the president himself, at 69%.
