唐纳德·特朗普的首席经济顾问表示，在共和党在中期国会选举中惨败后，政府不会改革其经济政策。
Donald Trump’s chief economic adviser said the administration won’t be revamping its economic policies in the wake of Republicans’ sweeping defeat in the midterm congressional elections.
白宫国家经济委员会主任凯文·哈塞特周五在接受彭博电视台采访时表示：“我认为我们没有需要计划的政策变化。这些政策正在发挥作用。”哈塞特辩称，民主党在选举中的胜利并非对总统供给侧政策的反驳，并重申了特朗普将动用否决权维护其议程的威胁。哈塞特说，除其他益处外，这些措施已带动12万人参与新建工厂，此前10月就业报告显示，上个月全国新增就业16.5万个。
“I don’t think we have a policy change we need to plan,” Kevin Hassett, director of the White House National Economic Council, said in an interview on Bloomberg TV Friday. “The policies are working.”Hassett argued the Democratic victory in the elections wasn’t a rebuttal of the president’s supply-side policies, and reiterated Trump’s threat to use vetoes to keep his agenda in place. Among other benefits, those measures have led to 120,000 people involved in building new factories, Hassett said, following an October employment report showing the nation added 165,000 jobs last month.
哈塞特说：“特朗普担心，我们建立的积极势头可能会被民主党颠覆，因为他们现在掌握了更多权力。但我认为他们要废除所有创造强劲就业市场的伟大政策将非常困难，因为总统将予以否决。”
Trump “is concerned that the positive momentum that we’ve built could be upended by Democrats now that they’ve taken more power,” Hassett said. “But I think they’re going to have a really hard time repealing all the great policies which created the strong job market, because the president will veto it.”
哈塞特将近期通胀的粘性归因于伊朗战争及其对汽油价格的影响，而非政府的经济政策，他暗示这些政策正在对通胀产生下行效应。他将此与前总统乔·拜登议程的通胀影响形成对比，“他们基本上在新冠危机结束后向民众直升机撒钱。”哈塞特开玩笑说他从总统那里得到了一顶“否决帽”，并表示政府还拥有“大量”行政权力继续推进其计划，包括整治过度监管。
Hassett attributed recent stickiness in inflation to the Iran war and its effects on gasoline prices, rather than the administration’s economic policies, which he suggested are having a downward effect on inflation. He contrasted that with what he called the inflationary impact of former President Joe Biden’s agenda, “where they basically helicopter-dropped money down to people after the Covid crisis was over.”Joking that he had gotten a “veto hat” from the president, Hassett said the administration also has a “huge amount” of executive authority to keep pressing ahead with its program, including taking on over-regulation.
