據(jù)美國媒體報道,美國總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普已指示員工推進(jìn)下一輪中國商品關(guān)稅。
The tariffs are expected to apply to about USD200bn worth of imports from China, including electronic parts and consumer goods such as handbags.

President Trump ordered his staff to start preparing the tariffs this summer, escalating a dispute over what the US says are China’s unfair trade practices, such as state subsidies.
特朗普總統(tǒng)于這個夏天下令他的工作人員開始準(zhǔn)備關(guān)稅,造成關(guān)于美國所謂的中國不公平貿(mào)易行為(如國家補(bǔ)貼)的爭議升級。
The new duties would add to tariffs the US has already imposed on USD50bn in Chinese goods as part of that dispute, as well as tariffs that China levied on USD50bn in US goods in retaliation.
美國已經(jīng)對500億美元中國商品征收的關(guān)稅,而中國對同等500億美元的美國商品征收報復(fù)性關(guān)稅。
Friday’s news reports that Mr Trump has ordered the US to proceed with further tariffs quoted administration sources. There has so far been no formal announcement.

However, Mr Trump has repeatedly signalled his willingness to impose the new duties, despite warnings from economists and widespread opposition in the US among the business community.
然而,盡管經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家發(fā)出里警告,美國商界也普遍反對,特朗普還是一再表示愿意強(qiáng)制推行新關(guān)稅。
On 7 September, Mr Trump said tariffs on USD200bn in goods "could take place very soon" and added that tariffs on a further USD267bn in goods were "ready to go on short notice if I want".

The White House and office of the US Trade Representative did not respond to requests for comment.
白宮和美國貿(mào)易代表辦公室沒有回應(yīng)置評請求。
