八点最热报 | 美国总统特朗普早前预告，4月2日起，对全球包括与美国进行贸易的所有国家关税等关税，扬言要让美国重夺经济主导权。然而，面对特朗普再次挥起的关税大棒，各国却没有买账，只是没有在美国面前服软，反而纷纷亮出“者联盟”式的反制大招，强调准备好实施报复性关税。美国真得能在捍卫全球发动的贸易战，重夺经济主导权吗？最终会不会演变成全球“围剿美国”的大戏？（主播：萧慧敏）

01:00The new tariff measures announced by Trump may include three versions.
01:041. Tariff for almost all imported goods to receive 20% uniformly.
01:082. Tariff for different countries.
01:123. Tariff for some countries, but the tax rate may be less than 20%.
01:18At present, Trump has not decided which specific plan to adopt,
01:21and the relevant details are still being discussed.
01:24Western economists also warned about Trump's insistence on implementing the equivalent tariff policy,
01:29saying that it may trigger retaliatory measures against China, Canada and the EU,
01:35resulting in a chain reaction and possibly upgrading to a full-scale trade war.
01:40European Commission Chairman von der Leyen said he hoped to avoid a trade war,
01:44but if Trump insists, the EU will not sit idly by,
01:48and will push for a strong and powerful revenge plan against the United States.
01:53Canada and Mexico, which have recently become the target of U.S. tariffs,
01:57have also announced a close phone call in the wake of the tariffs,
02:01agreeing to maintain close trade relations and maintain North American competitiveness.
02:05Canada's Prime Minister said Canada would never yield,
02:09and has prepared retaliatory tariffs to counter U.S. tariff measures.
02:16White House Spokesperson Caroline Caron said at a press conference on Tuesday
02:19that President Trump's tariff policy for the Liberation Day Party
02:22will be officially announced on April 2 and implemented immediately.
02:25She emphasized that this measure will completely change the US manufacturing structure
02:29and help the US re-establish a dominant position in the global trade system.
02:34Caron also insisted that Trump's policy will succeed.
02:37They're not going to be wrong. It is going to work.
02:39And the president has a brilliant team of advisors who have been studying these issues for decades.
02:45And we are focused on restoring the golden age of America
02:48and making America a manufacturing superpower.
02:51As for the U.S. officially declaring war on the world and lifting tariffs,
02:54European Union President Von der Leyen emphasized that
02:57if the U.S. insists on pushing tariff measures,
02:59the EU will not sit idly by and is ready to take tough retaliatory measures.
03:04Our objective is a negotiated solution.
03:07But of course, if need be, we will protect our interests, our people, and our company.
03:13Europe has not started this confrontation.
03:15We do not necessarily want to retaliate.
03:18But if it is necessary, we have a strong plan to retaliate, and we will use it.
03:24Canadian Prime Minister Kennedy also stressed that
03:27Canada will not yield to any economic pressure
03:30and warned that the Canadian government will fight to the end to defend national economic sovereignty.
03:35President Trump is in the process of trying to fundamentally restructure the U.S. economy,
03:41and that means that our economy here needs to change dramatically as well.
03:46And as I made clear to President Trump in our call last week,
03:50I will reject, I will reject all attempts to weaken Canada,
03:54all attempts to wear us down, to break us down, so that America can own us.
04:00That will never, ever happen.
05:03China's GDP growth rate will increase by 2.1%, while the actual GDP growth rate will fall by 1%.
05:10At the same time, Bloomberg predicts that equal tariffs will be a heavy blow to developing countries,
05:14including India, Brazil, Argentina, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
05:20Because these economies have a relatively high average tariff rate on U.S. products.
05:24In order to reduce the impact, U.S. trade protectionism has also urged countries to accelerate regional cooperation.
05:31Last weekend, China, Japan, and South Korea announced that they will speed up the free trade agreement negotiations.
05:37Trump hasn't gotten rid of his two Asian brothers yet,
05:41and he has no choice but to lean on China.
05:44European officials have also expressed their desire to strengthen economic ties with Canada.
05:48Therefore, Trump's new tariff has already begun to prepare the world for the post-American era.
