New York (CNN) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced 25% tariffs on all cars shipped to the United States, a significant escalation in a global trade war.
紐約(CNN)美國總統川普於週三宣佈對所有運往美國的汽車徵收25%的關稅,這是全球貿易戰的重大升級。)
The tariffs, set to take effect on April 3 at 12:01 am ET, are aimed at expanding America’s auto manufacturing prowess. For decades, because of a free trade agreement, automakers have treated Canada, Mexico and the United States as one big country, with no tariffs among them. Although the United States is home to a significant automaking industry, Trump wants to grow it.
(這項關稅將於4月3日美東時間凌晨12點01分生效,目的是擴大美國的汽車製造實力。數十年來,由於自由貿易協定,汽車製造商一直將加拿大、墨西哥和美國視為一個統一市場,三國之間互不征收關稅。儘管美國擁有龐大的汽車製造業,但川普希望進一步擴大其規模。)
