美國總統特朗普周一(5月13日)在社交網站連環出帖,再談到中美貿易戰問題,他指向中國實施的關稅稅率,無理由要由美國的消費者支付。
特朗普表示,最近有證據顯示加徵的25%關稅,只有4%由美方承擔,其餘21%都由中方支付,因為中國對產品提供大量補貼。
特朗普續指,如要避開關稅,可從無徵收關稅的國家入貨,或直接在美國境內購買,他又提到好多受關稅影響的公司將撤離中國,並轉往越南等亞洲國家,將會無人在中國做生意,對中國非常不利,反之卻對美國有利。他指中國已佔美國便宜好幾年,並警告中國不要報復,否則情況會更惡劣。
特朗普公開地向中國國家主席習近平,以及在中國的朋友表示,如不與美方達成貿易協議,中國將受到非常嚴重傷害,因為企業將會被迫離開,因為向中國採購太貴。特朗普又透露幾乎達成一份好的協議,惟中方出爾反爾。

....completely avoided if you by from a non-Tariffed Country, or you buy the product inside the USA (the best idea). That’s Zero Tariffs. Many Tariffed companies will be leaving China for Vietnam and other such countries in Asia. That’s why China wants to make a deal so badly!...

..There will be nobody left in China to do business with. Very bad for China, very good for USA! But China has taken so advantage of the U.S. for so many years, that they are way ahead (Our Presidents did not do the job). Therefore, China should not retaliate-will only get worse!

I say openly to President Xi & all of my many friends in China that China will be hurt very badly if you don’t make a deal because companies will be forced to leave China for other countries. Too expensive to buy in China. You had a great deal, almost completed, & you backed out!
