布鲁塞尔 4 月 6 日(路透社)——欧盟国家将在未来几天寻求形成统一战线,反对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的关税,可能会批准第一套针对性反制措施,针对从牙线到钻石等价值高达 280 亿美元的美国进口商品。 此举意味着欧盟将加入中国和加拿大的行列,对美国征收报复性关税,一些人担心这将升级为全球贸易战,导致数十亿消费者的商品价格上涨,并将全球经济推入衰退。 从周三开始,欧盟 27 国将对钢铁、铝和汽车征收 25% 的进口关税,并对几乎所有其他商品征收 20% 的“对等”关税。 特朗普的关税涵盖了欧盟对美出口的 70% 左右,去年总额达 5320 亿欧元(5850 亿美元),未来可能还会对铜、药品、半导体和木材征收关税。 负责协调欧盟贸易政策的欧盟委员会将于周一晚间向成员国提交一份美国产品清单,作为对特朗普钢铁和铝关税的回应,但不是更广泛的对等征税。

BRUSSELS, April 6 (Reuters) – European Union countries will seek to present a united front in the coming days against U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, likely approving a first set of targeted countermeasures on up to $28 billion of U.S. imports from dental floss to diamonds.
Such a move would mean the EU joining China and Canada in imposing retaliatory tariffs on the United States in an early escalation of what some fear will become a global trade war, making goods more expensive for billions of consumers and pushing economies around the world into recession.
The 27-nation bloc faces 25% import tariffs on steel and aluminium and cars and “reciprocal” tariffs of 20% from Wednesday for almost all other goods.
Trump’s tariffs cover some 70% of the EU’s exports to the United States – worth in total 532 billion euros ($585 billion) last year – with likely duties on copper, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors and timber still to come.
The European Commission, which coordinates EU trade policy, will propose to members late on Monday a list of U.S. products to hit with extra duties in response to Trump’s steel and aluminium tariffs rather than the broader reciprocal levies.
