反對關稅計劃 白宮首席經濟顧問辭職

White House National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn said last Tuesday he was resigning, as Donald Trump's administration prepares to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum.

由於唐納德·特朗普政府準備對進口鋼材和鋁徵收關稅，白宮國家經濟委員會主任加里·科恩於上週二宣稱將辭職。

Trump announced on March 1 that his administration planned to impose a 25% tariff on steel imports and a 10% one on aluminum, as these imports threaten US national security.

特朗普3月1日宣佈，美國政府計劃對進口鋼材徵收25%的關稅，對鋁徵收10%的關稅，因爲這些進口產品威脅了美國的國家安全。

Cohn, a "globalist" within the White House, has been mounting a last-ditch attempt to head off Trump's new tariff plan on steel and aluminum.

科恩作爲美國政府內部的全球主義者，一直在爲阻止特朗普對鋼材和鋁的加稅計劃發起最後的嘗試。

He has summoned executives from US companies that depend on aluminum and steel to meet with Trump.

他召集美國的鋼材和鋁消費企業的高管與特朗普會面。

Trump, however, reiterated his commitment to slapping tariffs on steel and aluminum last Tuesday.

然而特朗普在上週二重申了他對鋼材和鋁徵收關稅的承諾。

"It has been an honor to serve my country and enact pro-growth economic policies to benefit the American people, in particular the passage of historic tax reform," Cohn said in a statement.

科恩在一則聲明中表示：“我很榮幸爲我的國家服務，並制定有利於增長的經濟政策，使美國人民受益，特別是通過歷史性的稅收改革。”

"I am grateful to the President for giving me this opportunity and wish him and the Administration great success in the future."

“我很感激總統給了我這個機會，並祝願他和本屆政府在未來取得巨大的成功。”
