彼得·希夫（Peter Schiff）抨擊特朗普的歐盟關稅威脅是一種市場操縱策略

經濟學家彼得·希夫（Peter Schiff）抨擊了美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）最近對歐盟進口徵收50％關稅的威脅，將其標記為對內部人員受益的市場操縱策略。

Economist Peter Schiff slammed U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent threat to impose a 50% tariff on European Union imports as a tactic for market manipulation that benefits insiders.

經濟學家彼得·希夫（Peter Schiff）抨擊了美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）最近威脅要對歐盟進口徵收50％的關稅，以此作為對內部人士受益的市場操縱的策略。

According to Schiff, the new tariff proposal, which would see Americans effectively paying more for imports from China, allows insiders to “trade before the tariffs are called off with a fake win.”

根據席夫（Schiff）的說法，新的關稅提案將使美國人有效地為從中國進口進口付出更多費用，這使內部人員可以“在以虛假的勝利取消關稅之前進行交易”。

The economist, who has on occasion been critical of Trump’s tariff policies, made the remarks shortly after the U.S. president issued the threat on his social media platform on Monday.

這位經濟學家有時批評特朗普的關稅政策，在美國總統週一在其社交媒體平台上發表威脅後不久發表了講話。

In the post, Trump was seen to be continuing his argument that the EU was created to take advantage of the United States on trade. According to the U.S. President, the tariffs are expected to become effective on June 1.

在這篇文章中，特朗普被認為正在繼續他的論點，即創建歐盟是為了利用美國在貿易上的優勢。據美國總統稱，預計關稅將於6月1日生效。

The European Union is stiphling trade with the U.S., and they have no intention of changing their ways. They prefer to continue ripping off America with their Smart tariffs and dumping products in the U.S. at record rates. As a result, the U.S. trade deficit with the EU is fast spiraling out of control. To counter this imbalance and protect American jobs and industries, the U.S. will have no choice but to increase the tariffs on EU goods to 50% on June 1. It’s time for the EU to wake up and start treating the U.S. fairly in our trade dealings. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe. #TradeWar #Economy

歐洲聯盟正在與美國進行交易，他們無意改變自己的方式。他們更喜歡以創紀錄的速度繼續以智能關稅和在美國傾倒產品來剝奪美國。結果，美國與歐盟的貿易赤字正在迅速失控。為了應對這種不平衡並保護美國的就業機會和行業，美國別無選擇，只能在6月1日將歐盟商品的關稅提高到50％。現在是時候歐盟醒來並開始在我們的貿易交易中公平地對待美國。否則，後果將是嚴重的。 #tradewar #Ecomony

On April 10, just hours before he announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs imposed on U.S. trading partners, Trump told his Truth Social followers, “This is a great time to buy!!! DJT.”

在4月10日，就在他宣布對美國貿易夥伴徵收的相互關稅的90天停頓前幾個小時，特朗普告訴他的真相社會追隨者：“這是購買！！！ DJT的好時機。”

The post sparked immediate controversy, which intensified after Trump’s suspension of tariffs ignited a rally that wiped out most of the post-Liberation Day losses. Some Democrats in the U.S. Congress have since demanded an insider trading investigation over Trump’s tariff pause.

該帖子引發了立即的爭議，在特朗普暫停關稅後，這一爭議加劇了一場集會，這場集會消除了大部分自由的日期損失。此後，美國國會的一些民主黨人要求對特朗普的關稅暫停進行內幕調查。

However, Schiff, who is known for his skepticism of the mainstream financial narrative, argued that Trump’s actions are not surprising given his history of touting stock picks and boasting about market movements.

但是，席夫（Schiff）以對主流財務敘事的懷疑而聞名，他認為特朗普的行動並不奇怪，因為他吹捧股票選秀和吹噓市場變動的歷史。

The economist, who is also a staunch critic of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies, further claimed that Trump’s interest in personally benefitting from market fluctuations is a common occurrence among those in positions of power.

這位經濟學家也是對美聯儲貨幣政策的堅定批評家，他聲稱特朗普對個人從市場波動中受益的興趣是權力職位的人們普遍發生的。

According to Schiff, those "in the know" can use their inside information to make trades that will benefit them financially before the broader market becomes aware of the news, which will generate a "fake win" as the tariffs are called off and prices adjust accordingly.

席夫（Schiff）表示，“知識中”的人可以使用其內部信息來進行交易，這些交易將在更廣泛的市場意識到這一新聞之前將其受益，這將產生“假勝利”，因為取消關稅並相應地調整了價格。

Schiff dismissed suggestions that Trump’s latest tariff threat is a “bold” negotiating tactic ultimately intended to protect U.S. industries and jobs. Instead, he pointed to America’s tariff war with China, from which the U.S. “got nothing,” as evidence supporting his argument that Trump’s threats are nothing more than “political theater.”

席夫（Schiff）駁斥了特朗普最新的關稅威脅是一種“大膽”談判的策略，最終旨在保護美國行業和工作。取而代之的是，他指出了美國與中國的關稅戰爭，美國從中“一無所獲”，因為證據支持他的論點，即特朗普的威脅無非是“政治劇院”。

The macroeconomic impact of Trump’s latest threat was almost immediate, with key U.S. indexes, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500, sustaining steep drops. In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin (BTC) dropped by 2.6%.

特朗普最新威脅的宏觀經濟影響幾乎是立即的，其中包括美國道瓊斯工業平均水平和標準普爾500指數，持續下降。在加密貨幣市場中，比特幣（BTC）下降了2.6％。
