川普时代已经来临

候任总统川普日前宣佈将对隣国加拿大及墨西哥开始徵收百分之二十五之高关税,及对中国再增百分之十关税，如果此事在元月二十日实施，美国消费者将面临严重之后果.，其中包括原油在内引起炼油厰之担忧。

川普总统週五晚间和加拿大总理杜鲁道晚餐并和墨西哥总统通话,旨在对美国之加税作最后之沟通和协商。

墨西哥和加拿大是美国之最大贸易伙伴,长久以来从两国进口之商品及蔬菜农作物，是美国市塲上最主要之来源,这些加徵百分之二十五之税收必然是美国消费者来负担。

我们不知道川普总统上任后要如何减轻普罗大眾之衣食住行之负担 ，他的税收政策也许是一个谈判之手段,但是人民能等待吗?

The Era Of Trump Has Arrived

President-elect Trump has announced that once he takes office, he will immediately impose a 

25%  tariff increase on neighboring countries Canada and Mexico with an additional 10% on China. General speaking, if these increases are implemented on January 20th, American consumers will soon face very serious economic consequences. These increases will include 

crude oil, which has already raised serious concerns among U.S. petroleum refiners.

Trump had dinner with Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and had a phone conversation with the President of Mexico on Friday night. They had a final conversation before the import tax increase will be set in place.

Mexico and Canada have been the largest tradepartners of the U.S. for a very long time. Commodities and vegetable crops imported from both countries have been the main sources of supply for many years. These additional 25% tax charges will certainly be borne by the American consumers.

We don’t know how President Trump will eliminate the heavy burdens of the cost of food, clothes and transportation for the general public after he takes office. His sweeping tariff policy may be the means for future negotiations, but how long can the American people wait？
