美国可以在“几周之内”降低目前对中国的关税率

米兰（Miran）在周五在彭博电视台（Bloomberg TV）上发表讲话时说，虽然他没有直接参与谈判，但他认为唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统致力于达成协议，并在这样做方面拥有良好的记录。

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.

白宫经济顾问委员会主席斯蒂芬·米兰（Stephen Miran）在接受采访时说，美国可以在“几周之内”降低其目前对中国的关税率。

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.

米兰（Miran）在周五在彭博电视台（Bloomberg TV）上发表讲话时说，虽然他没有直接参与谈判，但他认为唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统致力于达成协议，并在这样做方面拥有良好的记录。米兰（Miran）将2019年的“第一阶段”交易称为总统达成协议能力的证据，尽管广泛怀疑。

“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.”

米兰说：“总统非常清楚，他认为将与中国达成协议。” “而且我认为总统是对的。”

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.

虽然他拒绝推测华盛顿和北京之间的特定数字或潜在的呼吁，但米兰建议，关税率的降低符合这两个经济体的利益，并且可能很快就会发生。

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

他说：“如果关税率在现在的几周之内，我会感到惊讶。”

Broader context and implications

更广泛的背景和含义

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.

中国商务部在当天早些时候发表声明说，它仍在评估贸易环境。 Miran强调，即使没有正式公告，持续的对话也是一个积极的发展。毕竟，“说话总比不说话好，”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.”

当被问及美国是否可以像2020年与中国达成的一项购买协议一样，米兰说，每个贸易伙伴都呈现出独特的动态，但这种机制“绝对应该在餐桌上”。

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.

他还承认，欧洲为增加美国商品的购买而努力是平衡贸易关系的潜在步骤，尽管他又没有致力于任何具体的结果。

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

尽管他在直接谈判中的作用有限，但米兰一再指出总统创建交易“没人期望”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.

尽管具体细节仍然不确定，但特朗普顶级经济顾问的评论是提高加密货币和股票市场的提高。值得注意的是，比特币（BTC）持有$ 97,000的水平，似乎在4月初派出了恐怖分子销售后，在近期重新估算了100,000美元的大关。
