在JPMorgan Chase主持的IMF、世界银行会议场边闭门会议里,美国财政部长贝森特说到:“没人认为现状是可持续的,都145和125(指关税%)了,所以我认为,在很近的未来,(关税对抗)将有降级。我们现在是双边贸易禁运了”(No one thinks the current status quo is sustainable, at 145 and 125 [per cent], so I would posit that over the very near future, there will be a de-escalation.We have an embargo now on both sides.)
他还提到,谈判将很艰难,而且根本没有开始,但双方都认为现状不可持续(China is going to be a slog in terms of the negotiations, because that engagement started … not yet. But I think, again, I think neither side thinks the status quo is sustainable.)。
