从34%、84%到145%，从给无人岛上的企鹅纳税到将电子产品革除所谓“对等关税”，特朗普政府摇晃的关税方针正在继续发酵。

民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）在美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）的节目中直言，“当特朗普在关税问题上玩‘红灯绿灯’游戏，并说‘关于我的特别捐赠者，你们能够得到特别豁免’时，出资者是不会在美国出资的。”

Appearing on CNN's State of the Union, Massachusetts democratic senator Elizabeth Warren described the confusion about shifting tariff rates and how smartphones and computers were spared from reciprocal tariffs as "chaos and corruption".

"Investors will not invest in the United States when Donald Trump is playing 'red light, green light' with tariffs and saying, 'Oh, and for my special donors, you get a special exemption,'" Warren said.

关税豁免仅是“时间短喘息”？

美国商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克在4月13日清晰表明，特朗普于周五宣告的对电子产品关税豁免仅是“时间短喘息”，他在美国广播公司（ABC）的新闻节目中泄漏，“电子产品虽暂免于报复性关税，但将在一个月后被归入半导体关税系统”，这将令本已紊乱的关税方针落井下石。

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the Trump administration's decision on Friday to exempt electronic devices — like smartphones, iPhones and laptops — from tariffs was only a temporary reprieve but those products will face separate levies, adding more confusion to an already chaotic rollout of tariffs on Chinese goods.

"(Electronics are) exempt from the reciprocal tariffs, but they’re included in the semiconductor tariffs, which are coming in probably a month or two," Lutnick told ABC News' This Week on Sunday.

而面临外界对关税豁免的种种猜想，特朗普13日在交际渠道接连发帖表明：“从未宣告任何关税‘破例’，这些产品仍受现有20%芬太尼关税的束缚，仅仅被转移到不同税种分类中。”他责备媒体故意误导，并宣称“我国是对美交易最不公正的国家，有必要付出代价。”

"There was no Tariff 'exception' announced on Friday. These products are subject to the existing 20 percent Fentanyl Tariffs, and they are just moving to a different Tariff 'bucket'. The Fake News knows this, but refuses to report it," Trump posted on social media.

“二战后最糟糕的经济自残方针”

伴随着此前中美互征关税继续加码：美国对华产品税率达145%，我国则以125%关税反击。关税方针的摇晃导致股市暴降，顾客决心暴降至1952年以来有记载以来的第二低水平，并引发了对经济衰退的忧虑。但特朗普政府一向坚称，关税将经过促进制造业和维护工作来增强美国经济。

Tariffs on imports from China total 145% and the Chinese government retaliated by placing 125% tariffs on all US imports.

Tariff whiplash has sent the stock market tumbling, consumer sentiment plummeting to the second-lowest on record since 1952 and spurred fears of a recession. But the Trump administration has held steady that tariffs will strengthen the US economy by boosting manufacturing and protecting jobs.

美国前财长劳伦斯·萨默斯呵斥特朗普的关税方针为“二战后最糟糕的经济自残方针”，他表明，这不管是在进步竞争力，操控失业率仍是操控通货膨胀上都是过错的方针，“咱们能期望的最好的工作，便是我们意识到并改变这些过错。”

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers said on Fareed Zakaria GPS that the tariff policy is "the worst self-inflicted wound through economic policy" since World War II.

"It's wrong on competitiveness, wrong on unemployment, wrong on inflation… The best thing we can hope for is that people start to see sense and reverse these errors," said Summers.

90天后又将何去何从？

90天的关税暂停期往后又会怎么？全世界对此一窍不通。

亿万富翁出资者雷·达利奥（Ray Dalio）在《与媒体碰头》（Meet the Press）节目中表明，特朗普的交易方针到目前为止“极具破坏性”。他指出，美国“十分挨近经济衰退”，但具领会怎样开展，“取决于90天后美国处于什么方位。”

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio, appearing on Meet the Press, called Trump's trade policies "very disruptive" so far. But it "could be part of a process", he added. "It depends where we are at the end of the 90 days."

When Dalio was asked about the likelihood of an impending recession, he said America is "very close to a recession".

“没有人清楚五天后的规则会是什么，更不用说五年后了。”

"Nobody can figure out what the rules will be five days from now, much less five years from now," Warren said.
