【邊談邊打】特朗普:若跟中國貿易談判破裂,我就做「關稅佬」!
特朗普這邊廂剛跟習近平鋸牛扒,同意中美兩國在未來90日內就中美貿易問題包括貿易逆差、保障知識產權、市場進入及技術轉讓等細節繼續談判,那邊廂卻隨即在Twitter開火,自稱「關稅佬」(Tariff Man),警告若談判破裂,會向中國產品徵收巨額關稅。

特朗普表示,90天的談判限期由跟習近平在阿根廷吃晚飯(12月1日)開始計算。談判期間,貿易代表萊特希澤(Robert Lighthizer)、財長努欽(Steven Mnuchin)、白宮經濟顧問庫德洛(Larry Kudlow)、商務部長羅斯(Wilbur Ross)及白宮貿易顧問納瓦羅(Peter Navarro)將緊密合作。
The negotiations with China have already started. Unless extended, they will end 90 days from the date of our wonderful and very warm dinner with President Xi in Argentina. Bob Lighthizer will be working closely with Steve Mnuchin, Larry Kudlow, Wilbur Ross and Peter Navarro.....

特朗普又稱,美國要麼跟中國達成「真正的」協議,要麼就向中國貨物徵收關稅,他相信兩國最終會達成協議,也許是現在,也許是將來。
We are either going to have a REAL DEAL with China, or no deal at all - at which point we will be charging major Tariffs against Chinese product being shipped into the United States. Ultimately, I believe, we will be making a deal - either now or into the future....

特朗普更首次自稱「關稅佬」(Tariff Man)。他警告,若有人或其他國家想「掠奪」美國的財富,他就會要求這些人付出代價,認為這才是強化美國經濟實力的最佳方式。
....I am a Tariff Man. When people or countries come in to raid the great wealth of our Nation, I want them to pay for the privilege of doing so. It will always be the best way to max out our economic power. We are right now taking in $billions in Tariffs. MAKE AMERICA RICH AGAIN
