美国总统特朗普26日说,美方已决定对欧盟征收25%关税,并将“很快”宣布。
特朗普当天在白宫举行内阁会议时对媒体说,整体来说,对欧盟关税税率将设定在25%,适用于汽车和其他各种商品。
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that his administration has made a decision to impose 25 percent tariffs on products from the European Union, including cars. "We have made a decision. We'll be announcing it very soon, and it'll be 25 percent generally speaking, and that'll be on cars and all other things," Trump told reporters at a White House Cabinet meeting.
特朗普还称,欧盟“占美国便宜”,以各种理由“拒绝接受美国的汽车和农产品”,美国和欧盟之间有大约“3000亿美元”的贸易逆差。
Trump claimed that the European Union has "taken advantage of" the United States. "They don't accept our cars, they don't accept, essentially, our farm products. They use all sorts of reasons why not. And we accept everything of them, and we have about a 300 billion dollar deficit with the European Union," he said.

美国政治新闻网站《政治报》此前报道指出,美欧贸易逆差并没有特朗普所言这么大。根据欧盟的数据,2023年美国与欧盟的货物贸易逆差为1558亿欧元(约合1686亿美元),然而在服务贸易方面,美国实现了1040亿欧元(约合1126亿美元)顺差。整体而言,美国对欧盟的贸易逆差为518亿欧元(约合560亿美元)。
Politico previously reported that the $300-billion deficit is overstated. "In 2023, the US goods trade deficit with the bloc was 155.8 billion euros, according to EU data. In services, however, the US had a surplus of 104 billion euros, bringing the overall trade balance to 51.8 billion euros ($56 billion)," according the report.
当被问及是否会因边境管控的进展而继续暂缓针对墨西哥、加拿大加征关税时,特朗普说,他不会阻止关税生效,美国将对墨西哥、加拿大征收25%关税。
When asked by a reporter whether he would continue to delay tariffs on Mexico and Canada due to progress on border control, Trump said he would not prevent the tariffs from taking effect and claimed that the influx of fentanyl had caused "millions of deaths." "I'm not stopping the tariffs. No," Trump said.
此外,美国商务部长卢特尼克在会上说,针对各国的总体关税行动将于4月2日实施。
US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick noted that the overall tariff actions against more countries would be implemented on April 2.
