美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示,他将在未来两周内对半导体征收税款,这是他准备大幅扩大关税制度的最新迹象。
特朗普周五在前往阿拉斯加与俄罗斯总统普京举行峰会的空军一号上对记者说:“我将在下周和下下周制定钢铁和芯片的关税——芯片和半导体,我们将在下下下周的某个时候制定。”
目前尚不清楚特朗普在钢铁关税问题上是否言过其实。他已于6月份将钢铁和铝进口关税上调至50%。
总统曾多次承诺将在几周内对芯片和药品征收税款,但尚未发布任何正式公告。
自4月以来,这两个行业一直受到美国商务部的调查,这是特朗普以国家安全为由征收关税的先决条件。调查过程可能很复杂,可能需要数月甚至更长时间才能结束。
由于芯片广泛应用于各种现代消费产品中,制造商和人工智能公司一直渴望更清楚地了解他的半导体价格计划。
上周,特朗普在与苹果公司首席执行官蒂姆·库克的一次活动中表示,他计划对半导体征收 100% 的关税,同时豁免那些将制造业转移到美国的公司的产品。
白宫尚未就该豁免如何实施做出后续解释,但特朗普暗示,已承诺投资 6000 亿美元进行国内制造计划的苹果公司可以获得豁免。
周五,特朗普暗示对进口半导体征收的关税可能会更高。
特朗普说:“我的利率会是 200%、300% 吗?”
美国总统表示,他可以与普京讨论关税问题,并表示他相信俄罗斯领导人计划邀请商界领袖参加峰会。
“我注意到他带了很多俄罗斯商人来,这很好,我喜欢,因为他们想做生意,”特朗普说。“但在我们解决战争之前,他们是不会做生意的。”
特朗普最近几周威胁要对俄罗斯能源买家征收更高的关税,包括承诺对来自印度的商品征收50%的关税。他还暗示,如果会谈进展不顺利,他可能会加大莫斯科的经济成本。
英文原文
President Donald Trump said he would set levies on semiconductors in the coming two weeks, the latest indication he’s readying a substantial expansion of his tariff regime.
“I’ll be setting tariffs next week and the week after, on steel and on, I would, say chips — chips and semiconductors, we’ll be setting sometime next week, week after,” Trump told reporters Friday aboard Air Force One en route to Alaska for a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It wasn’t clear if Trump misspoke about steel tariffs. He already hiked duties on steel and aluminum imports to 50% in June.
The president has repeatedly promised that levies on chips and pharmaceuticals are coming within weeks, but no formal announcements have yet been made.
Both sectors have been under Commerce Department investigation since April, a prerequisite for Trump to impose tariffs on national security grounds. That process can prove complicated and probes can take months or longer to resolve.
Manufacturers and artificial intelligence firms have been eager for more clarity about his plans for semiconductor rates, since chips are included in a wide range of modern consumer products.
Last week, Trump said during an event with Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook that he planned a 100% tariff on semiconductors, while exempting products from companies that are moving manufacturing to the US.
The White House hasn’t offered a subsequent explanation for how that exemption would work, but Trump implied that Apple — which has pledged a $600 billion domestic manufacturing initiative — could be exempt.
On Friday, Trump suggested the charge on imported semiconductors could be even higher.
“I’m going to have a rate that is going to be 200%, 300%?” Trump said.
The US president indicated that he could speak about tariffs with Putin, and said he believed the Russian leader planned to bring business leaders to the summit.
“I noticed he’s bringing a lot of business people from Russia, and that’s good I like that because they want to do business,” Trump said. “But they’re not doing business until we get the war settled.”
Trump in recent weeks has threatened to impose higher tariff rates on purchasers of Russian energy, including a pledge to impose a 50% levy on goods from India. He has also suggested he could ratchet up economic costs on Moscow if the meeting does not go well. |
