Until now,
the muted financial market response to Trump’s protectionism agenda
has been explained by three beliefs: that he doesn’t really mean
what
he says and is using tariffs as a negotiating tool;
that
even if he does mean it, cooler heads in Washington will prevail; and
that
sooner or later the deleterious results of the trade policy will become so obvious
that
the president will think again.
到目前为止,已有三种观点来解释疲软的金融市场对特朗普保护主义议程的回应:一种是,他说的并不是真的,而是在利用关税作为谈判工具; 一种是,即使他说的是真的,华盛顿较为冷静头脑也会占上风; 还有一种是,这项贸易政策的有害结果迟早会变得如此明显以至于总统会再次思考。
