Donald Trump stood firm against warnings that his threatened trade war risks
derailing the US economy, claiming his administration could hit foreign cars
with tariffs of around 25% within weeks.

Semiconductor chips and drugs are set to face higher duties, Trump told
reporters at a news conference on Tuesday.

The White House has repeatedly raised the threat of tariffs since Trump
returned to office last month, pledging to rebalance the global economic order
 in America’s favor.

A string of announced tariffs have yet to be introduced, however, as
economists and business urge the Trump administration to reconsider.

Duties on imports from Canada and Mexico have been repeatedly delayed;
modified levies on steel and aluminum, announced last week, will not be
enforced until next month; and a wave of so-called “reciprocal” tariffs,
also trailed last week, will not kick in before April.

Tariffs are taxes on foreign goods. They are paid by the importer of the
product – in this case, companies and consumers based inside the US – rather
 than the exporter, elsewhere in the world.

Asked on Tuesday if he had decided the rate of a threatened tariff on cars
from overseas, Trump said he would “probably” announce that on 2 April, “
but it’ll be in the neighborhood of 25%”.

Upon being asked the same question about threatened tariffs on semiconductors
and pharmaceuticals, Trump replied: “It’ll be 25% and higher, and it’ll go
very substantially higher over the course of a year.”

The ramp-up, he explained, was designed to lure manufacturers to the US. “
When they come into the United States, and they have their plant or factory
here, there is no tariff.”

Executives have cautioned that the administration’s plan for tariffs risks
harming the US economy. A 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada “will blow a hole
in the US industry that we have never seen”, Jim Farley, the Ford CEO, told
an investor conference in New York last week.

心得/評論：

川普又拿出關稅威脅，這次是說可能在4月2日對汽車徵收25%關稅，
對晶片的關稅則沒說什麼時候。

然而川普之前的關稅講了又推遲，
這樣的舉動大大增加市場的不確定性。
