剛剛發言人有解釋了，應該多加點税 Donald Trump acknowledged having second thoughts on escalating the trade war w ith China -- only for his top spokeswoman to later say he meant he regretted n ot raising tariffs even more. White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham now says the media misinterprete d Trump’s initial remarks. Trump doesn’t regret starting a trade war but he does have second thoughts on whether he should have hit the Chinese even harde r. "The president was asked if he had ‘any second thought on escalating the trad e war with China.’ His answer has been greatly misinterpreted. President Trum p responded in the affirmative - because he regrets not raising the tariffs hi gher,” Grisham said in a statement to reporters. The initial remark drew worldwide headlines because Trump is rarely one for se cond-guessing himself, and instead goes bigger on his ideas in the face of cri ticism. Grisham’s explanation is more in the line with the Trump the Group of Seven nations know, and who often drives them to distraction. The remarks came as Trump was meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson o n Sunday at the Group of Seven summit. He was asked whether he had “any secon d thoughts on escalating the trade war” with China, after he announced higher tariffs late Friday. “Yeah, sure, why not?” Trump replied. Reporters asked again whether he had s econd thoughts. “Might as well, might as well,” he replied, before reporters asked again. “I have second thoughts about everything,” he said. The breezy acknowledgement from the president is the latest in the trade fight between the two largest economies, who continue to ratchet up pressure as war ning signs flash on the risk of a global recession. Trump on Friday announced he would hike existing tariffs, applied to about $25 0 billion in Chinese goods, to 30 percent from 25 percent as of Oct. 1. He als o said a new round of tariffs on $300 billion in goods will be taxed at 15 per cent, up from 10 percent. The first batch of those tariffs is set to kick in o n Sept 1. Trump has seen his poll numbers sag ahead of his 2020 re-election bid, as cons umers sour on his aggressive trade stance against China. Trump has bet his re- election chances on a strong economy, and with fears of recession growing amon g some economists, has insisted fears of an economic slowdown are overblown. Trump was also asked whether allied nations at the summit in Biarritz, France were pressing him to give up on the trade war. “No, not at all, I haven’t he ard that at all,” he replied. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 223.137.235.225 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Stock/M.1566734744.A.93F.html
