#鲍威尔发言
In response to President Trump's announcement to increase tariffs on countries around the world, especially China, Japan, and the European Union, the reactions are as follows:
China:
The United States raised tariffs on Chinese goods to 54%, triggering strong opposition from the Chinese government. The Ministry of Commerce of China condemned this move as "unilateral bullying" and urged the U.S. to immediately cancel the relevant tariff measures, emphasizing that there are no winners in a trade war and that protectionism has no way out. China stated that it will take resolute countermeasures, possibly retaliating against U.S. agricultural products.
Japan:
Japan expressed disappointment and regret over the 24% tariffs imposed by the United States on its goods. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba called the move "difficult to understand" and stated that Japan would take "bold and swift" measures in response, including seeking direct negotiations with the United States for tariff exemptions while supporting affected domestic industries. Additionally, the Japanese stock market was impacted, with the Nikkei index falling more than 4% at one point.
European Union:
In the face of the United States imposing a 20% tariff on EU goods, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed strong opposition, stating that this is a significant blow to the global economy and warned that it could lead to increased global economic uncertainty. The EU plans to take countermeasures and is preparing to impose retaliatory tariffs on approximately $26 billion worth of U.S. goods, targeting products including whiskey, jet skis, and motorcycles. However, the EU also expressed a desire to resolve disputes through negotiations to avoid an escalation of the trade war.
Overall, the tariff policy of the Trump administration has provoked strong reactions from major global economies, with countries expressing their opposition and preparing corresponding countermeasures to safeguard their economic interests.
