放下旧眼光 重新审视特朗普2.0 Trump 2.0: Beyond the old playbook

美国总统特朗普上周宣布，将向对美贸易顺差国征收对等关税。

特朗普下令美国商务部、贸易代表办公室等启动调查，要对贸易伙伴制定对等关税，最早在今年4月实施。有评论人形容特朗普按下了全球贸易战的按钮，他在酝酿一场世界自由贸易秩序的重大革命。

自今年1月20日上任以来，特朗普以及他的亲密战友马斯克等人迅速颠覆了美国的一系列政策，改变现状，包括撤销美国国际开发署，推动联邦政府大裁员，还用关税威胁盟友，并且表示要长期接管加沙地带。

聚集了马斯克等奇才的特朗普2.0是一个超强组合，还是一群破坏分子？

US President Donald Trump's second term has begun with a flurry of controversial policy announcements, sending shockwaves through global markets and international relations. His administration is pursuing aggressive trade policies, threatening tariffs on countries with a trade surplus with the US. This has sparked fears of a global trade war and potential retaliation from affected nations.

Domestically, proposed budget cuts to agencies like the US international aid agency (USAid) and significant federal workforce reductions have drawn criticism.

Furthermore, Trump's policies regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including a greater US role in Gaza, are raising concerns in the Middle East.

Adding to the intrigue, Elon Musk's involvement in the Trump administration has generated both excitement and apprehension, with his influence on policy decisions still unclear.

In this episode of Global Heartbeat, host Han Yonghong delves into these complex issues with expert analysis from Tim Zhang, Founder & CEO of Edge Research.
