美國可以在“幾週之內”降低目前對中國的關稅率

米蘭（Miran）在周五在彭博電視台（Bloomberg TV）上發表講話時說，雖然他沒有直接參與談判，但他認為唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統致力於達成協議，並在這樣做方面擁有良好的記錄。

The U.S. could reduce its current 145% tariff rate on China “within a few weeks,” White House Council of Economic Advisers Chair Stephen Miran said in an interview.

白宮經濟顧問委員會主席斯蒂芬·米蘭（Stephen Miran）在接受采訪時說，美國可以在“幾週之內”降低其目前對中國的關稅率。

Speaking to Bloomberg TV on Friday, Miran said that while he is not directly involved in negotiations, he believes President Donald Trump is committed to reaching a deal and has a strong track record in doing so. Miran referred to the 2019 “phase one” deal as evidence of the president’s ability to strike agreements despite widespread skepticism.

米蘭（Miran）在周五在彭博電視台（Bloomberg TV）上發表講話時說，雖然他沒有直接參與談判，但他認為唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統致力於達成協議，並在這樣做方面擁有良好的記錄。米蘭（Miran）將2019年的“第一階段”交易稱為總統達成協議能力的證據，儘管廣泛懷疑。

“The president has been very clear that he thinks that there will be a deal with China,” Miran said. “And I think the president is right.”

米蘭說：“總統非常清楚，他認為將與中國達成協議。” “而且我認為總統是對的。”

While he declined to speculate on specific figures or a potential call between the Washington and Beijing, Miran suggested that a deescalation in tariff rates is in the interest of both economies and could happen soon.

雖然他拒絕推測華盛頓和北京之間的特定數字或潛在的呼籲，但米蘭建議，關稅率的降低符合這兩個經濟體的利益，並且可能很快就會發生。

“I would be surprised if tariff rates are where they are now… within a few weeks from now,” he said.

他說：“如果關稅率在現在的幾週之內，我會感到驚訝。”

Broader context and implications

更廣泛的背景和含義

China’s Ministry of Commerce issued a statement earlier in the day saying it was still evaluating the trade environment. Miran emphasized that ongoing dialogue, even without formal announcements, was a positive development. After all, “talking is better than not talking,” he noted.

中國商務部在當天早些時候發表聲明說，它仍在評估貿易環境。 Miran強調，即使沒有正式公告，持續的對話也是一個積極的發展。畢竟，“說話總比不說話好，”他指出。

Asked whether the U.S. might revisit purchase agreements like the one reached with China in 2020, Miran said each trading partner presents unique dynamics but that such mechanisms “should definitely be on the table.”

當被問及美國是否可以像2020年與中國達成的一項購買協議一樣，米蘭說，每個貿易夥伴都呈現出獨特的動態，但這種機制“絕對應該在餐桌上”。

He also acknowledged European efforts to increase purchases of U.S. goods as a potential step toward balancing trade relations, though again, he did not commit to any specific outcomes.

他還承認，歐洲為增加美國商品的購買而努力是平衡貿易關係的潛在步驟，儘管他又沒有致力於任何具體的結果。

Despite his limited role in direct negotiations, Miran repeatedly pointed to the president’s ability to create deals “nobody expects.”

儘管他在直接談判中的作用有限，但米蘭一再指出總統創建交易“沒人期望”的能力。

While specific details remain uncertain, the comments from Trump’s top economic advisor is lifting crypto and equity markets higher. Notably, Bitcoin (BTC) is holding the $97,000 level and seems poised to retest the $100,000 mark in the near-term after panick selling in early April sent the coin to around $75,000.

儘管具體細節仍然不確定，但特朗普頂級經濟顧問的評論是提高加密貨幣和股票市場的提高。值得注意的是，比特幣（BTC）持有$ 97,000的水平，似乎在4月初派出了恐怖分子銷售後，在近期重新估算了100,000美元的大關。
