唐纳德·特朗普表示，他将暂缓对进口机器人、工业机械及相关零部件征收关税，转而指示官员就这些商品与贸易伙伴举行磋商。
Donald Trump said he would hold off on imposing tariffs on imports of robotics, industrial machinery and related parts and components, instead directing officials to hold talks with trading partners on those goods.
特朗普周三签署了一项公告，同意商务部一份报告的结论，该报告认定机器人和工业机器的进口数量及方式威胁到美国国家安全。
Trump signed a proclamation Wednesday agreeing with a Commerce Department report, which determined robotics and industrial machines are being imported in quantities and in ways that threaten US national security.
他指示商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克和美国贸易代表贾米森·格里尔与贸易伙伴进行谈判，以解决这些进口问题，并在180天内汇报进展，为日后征收关税留有余地。
He directed Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer to negotiate with trading partners to address those imports and to report on their progress within 180 days, leaving the door open to subsequent tariffs.
特朗普说：“视此类谈判的状态或结果而定，我未来可能会考虑采取替代补救措施。”
“Depending on the status or outcome of such negotiations, I may consider alternative remedies in the future,” Trump said.
特朗普政府于2025年9月宣布，依据《贸易扩张法》第232条，对机器人和工业机器的进口展开调查，该条款授权总统以国家安全为由实施贸易限制。
The Trump administration in September 2025 announced an investigation into the imports of robotics and industrial machines, under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, which authorizes the president to impose trade restrictions on national security grounds.
调查范围涵盖机器人以及可编程、计算机控制的机械系统，包括数控加工中心、车床和铣床、磨床和去毛刺设备以及工业冲压机和压力机。
The probe covered robotics and programmable, computer-controlled mechanical systems, including CNC machining centers, turning and milling machines, grinding and deburring equipment and industrial stamping and pressing machines.
调查范围还包括“自动换刀装置、夹具和治具，以及用于切割、焊接和搬运工件的机床。”专用金属加工设备，如高压釜和工业烘箱，以及激光和水切割工具及机械也在调查范围之内。
Also within the scope of the investigation were “automatic tool changers, jigs and fixtures, and machine tools for cutting, welding, and handling work pieces.”Specialty metalworking equipment, such as autoclaves and industrial ovens, and laser and water cutting tools and machinery were also included.
批评人士警告称，对这类进口商品征收新关税可能会通过增加成本来削弱政府振兴美国制造业的目标。
Critics have warned new levies on such imports could undercut the administration’s goal of boosting US manufacturing by increasing costs.
一系列贸易调查支撑了特朗普重建关税壁垒的努力，美国最高法院今年早些时候推翻了此前的关税壁垒，这一次特朗普动用的被认为法律依据更充分的权力。总统将矛头同时指向来自个别国家的进口产品和广泛的工业部门。
A series of trade investigations has underpinned Trump’s effort to rebuild the tariff wall struck down by the US Supreme Court earlier this year, this time using powers seen to be more legally sound. The president has targeted both imports from individual countries and broad industrial sectors.
然而，商务部同样在其他关税问题上按兵不动，即使调查认定进口产品威胁美国安全。本月初，特朗普推迟对风力涡轮机及其零部件征收关税，给官员留出时间与贸易伙伴磋商。
Yet the Commerce Department has similarly held off on other tariffs even after probes found that imports threatened US security. Earlier this month, Trump delayed imposing tariffs on wind turbines and their components, giving officials time to consult with trading partners.
这些推迟实际上将任何最终关税的实施时间推至下周美国中期选举之后，生活成本是选民最关心的议题。
The delays effectively pushed any eventual tariffs past next week’s US midterm elections, in which the cost of living is the dominant issue for voters.
