美国工商会在华盛顿举办的B20峰会上，白宫一位高级官员在共和党中期选举失利后，仍为特朗普的关税政策辩护，而特朗普的前任经济顾问加里·科恩则警告称，美国消费者正在为此买单。
At the U.S. Chamber's B20 summit in Washington, a senior White House official defended Trump's tariffs despite Republican midterm losses, while former Trump economic advisor Gary Cohn warned that American consumers are footing the bill.
路透社/益普索周二发布的一项民调显示，62%的美国人支持废除特朗普的关税，与此同时，新数据显示，10月份消费者价格上涨了0.4%。
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Tuesday found 62% of Americans support repealing Trump's tariffs, as new data showed consumer prices rose 0.4% in October.
峰会上的商界领袖表示，全球供应链正变得更加区域化，而民主党在掌控国会后，要推翻特朗普的贸易政策面临重大障碍。
Business leaders at the summit said global supply chains are becoming more regional, while Democrats face significant obstacles to reversing Trump's trade policies when they take control of Congress.
选民在中期选举中因物价上涨而惩罚共和党一周后，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的白宫表示将继续奉行关税政策，尽管他的前任最高级经济顾问警告称，美国人正在为此买单。
One week after voters punished Republicans over rising prices in the midterm elections President Donald Trump's White House signaled it would stay the course on tariffs even as his former top economic advisor warned that Americans are footing the bill.
特朗普白宫公共联络办公室主任吉姆·戈耶周二在由美国工商会在华盛顿主办的全球商界领袖聚会B20峰会上的一次演讲中，为关税辩护，称其是重建美国制造业、保障供应链和维护国家安全的工具。
Jim Goyer, Trump's director of White House Office of Public Liaison, defended tariffs as a tool to rebuild U.S. manufacturing, secure supply chains and protect national security during an address Tuesday at the B20 summit a gathering of global business leaders in Washington hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
“我们才刚刚开始，”戈耶说，“我们的雄心是，在总统任期剩余时间里保持这一步伐。”加里·科恩曾在特朗普首个任期内担任其首席经济顾问，周二晚些时候在一次现场采访中给出了截然不同的评估。
"And we are just getting started," Goyer said. "Our ambition is to continue this pace for the remainder of the president's term in office." Gary Cohn who served as Trump's chief economic advisor during his first administration, offered a sharply different assessment during an onstage interview later Tuesday.
“关税是对美国消费者征收的消费税，”科恩说，并认为关税正在推高价格，迫使美国人重新考虑购买。
"Tariffs are a consumption tax on the U.S. consumer," Cohn said, arguing that the duties are raising prices and forcing Americans to reconsider purchases.
这种分歧暴露了特朗普面临的日益严重的两难困境。他的贸易议程正在重塑全球商业，同时也推高了选民的成本。企业正在适应这种混乱，但旧的贸易体系不会回来了。
The divide exposed a growing dilemma for Trump. His trade agenda is reshaping global commerce – and driving up costs for voters. Companies are adapting to the chaos, but the old trading system isn't coming back.
前共和党众议员凯文·布雷迪在与美国商会首席执行官苏珊·克拉克的讨论中表示，特朗普总统以一种不太可能回归的方式打乱了该体系。布雷迪曾帮助主持B20峰会。
"President Trump has disrupted that system in a way that we're not likely to return to," Kevin Brady, a former Republican congressman who helped lead the B20 summit, said during a discussion with U.S. Chamber CEO Suzanne Clark.
11月3日的选举中，这种政治反弹显而易见。据CNBC选民民调，大约三分之二的选民表示特朗普的政策导致了通货膨胀。近十分之九的选民表示，生活成本是他们投票时的主要或关键因素。
The political backlash was evident in the Nov. 3 election. Roughly two-thirds of voters said Trump's policies contributed to inflation, according to the CNBC Voter Poll. Nearly nine in 10 said the cost of living was a major or crucial factor in their vote.
周二发布的一项路透社/益普索民调发现，62%的美国人支持废除特朗普的关税，而只有21%的人赞同他处理生活成本问题的方式。
A separate Reuters/Ipsos poll released Tuesday found 62% of Americans supported repealing Trump's tariffs, while just 21% approved of his handling of the cost of living.
“上周，美国选民就生活成本和经济安全发出了明确的信号，”克拉克在主旨演讲中表示。
"Last week, American voters sent a clear message about the cost of living and their economic security," Clark said in her keynote address.
周二，压力进一步加大，新的政府数据显示，10月份消费者价格上涨了0.4%，超过了经济学家的预期。年度通胀率在9月份达到3.7%，这是最新可得的同比数据，远高于美联储2%的目标。
The pressure intensified Tuesday as new government data showed consumer prices rose 0.4% in October exceeding economists' expectations. Annual inflation reached 3.7% in September, the latest available year-over-year figure and well above the Federal Reserve's 2% target.
关税并非推高价格的唯一因素。与伊朗的战争推高了能源成本，而住房、医疗保健和其他家庭开支继续给消费者带来压力。
Tariffs are not the only factor driving higher prices. The war with Iran has pushed energy costs sharply higher, while housing, healthcare and other household expenses continue to strain consumers.
但研究发现，特朗普的进口关税加剧了这些压力。纽约联邦储备银行的一项研究估计，约26%的关税上涨转嫁给了消费者价格，部分影响需要九到十二个月才能在供应链中显现。
But research has found Trump's import duties have added to those pressures. A Federal Reserve Bank of New York study estimated that about 26% of tariff increases were passed through to consumer prices, with some effects taking nine to 12 months to work through supply chains.
科恩现任某机构副主席，他主张，虽然关税为美国创造了收入，但这些收益是以消费者为代价的。
Cohn, now vice chairman of argued that while tariffs generate revenue for the U.S., those gains come at consumers' expense.
“你们只看到了等式的一边。你们只看到了资产负债表的贷方，”科恩说，描述他将如何回应特朗普对关税收入的辩护。“还有资产负债表的借方，那就是每一个勤劳的美国人，他们通过购买的某些产品支付了关税。”尽管如此，科恩认为跨党派的贸易协议仍有空间。他建议特朗普和即将上任的民主党国会可以将对中国及不公平贸易行为的保护措施永久化，同时撤销对加拿大的关税，从而让未来的总统更难推翻。对于企业来说，这种转变已经在进行中。
"You're looking at one side of the equation. You're looking at the credit side of the balance sheet," Cohn said, describing how he would respond to Trump's defense of tariff revenue. "There's the debit side of the balance sheet, which is every hardworking American who happened to pay the tariff through some product that they bought." Still, Cohn saw room for a bipartisan trade deal. He suggested Trump and the incoming Democratic Congress could make protections against China and unfair trade practices permanent while rolling back tariffs on Canada leaving less for future presidents to undo. For businesses, the shift is already underway.
首席执行官卡罗尔·托梅表示，随着全球供应链变得更加区域化，客户正在将生产和采购转移到更靠近本土的地方。
CEO Carol Tomé said customers are moving production and sourcing closer to home as global supply chains become more regional. "Supply chains are diversifying.
“供应链正在多元化。供应链正在区域化，”托梅在CNBC主持人摩根·布伦南主持的小组讨论中表示。另外，UPS计划于10月在菲律宾开设一个投资超过8000万美元的新航空枢纽，以扩大其亚洲网络，并改善超过1100条全球贸易航线的连接。
Supply chains are regionalizing," Tomé said during a panel discussion moderated by CNBC's Morgan Brennan Separately, UPS is opening a new $80 million-plus air hub in the Philippines in October to expand its Asian network and improve connections across more than 1,100 global trade lanes.
其他高管，如化工巨头执行董事长吉姆·菲特林，在关税带来成本的情况下仍为特朗普的关税辩护。菲特林承认关税可能推高价格，但认为它们是打击不公平竞争、保护美国制造业所必需的。
Other executives, like Jim Fitterling executive chairman of chemicals giant defended Trump's tariffs despite their costs. Fitterling acknowledged they can drive up prices but argued they are necessary to combat unfair competition and protect U.S. manufacturing.
民主党计划在明年1月掌控国会后挑战特朗普的关税，但他的否决权和广泛的贸易权力可能使这些关税难以推翻。
Democrats plan to challenge Trump's tariffs when they take control of Congress in January, but his veto power and broad trade authority could make them difficult to overturn.
