美國化工行業(yè)譴責特朗普鋼鐵關稅
中國石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 特朗普政府決定對進口鋼鐵和鋁征收關稅，包括化工行業(yè)在內(nèi)的美國許多行業(yè)紛紛表示反對。美國行業(yè)領先的貿(mào)易組織美國化學委員會(ACC)譴責這項措施，稱這將損害行業(yè)競爭力。
ACC要求特朗普重新考慮這些關稅，因為這些關稅將推高在美國建設化工裝置的成本。
ACC表示：“對于已經(jīng)宣布投資1850億美元在美國全國范圍內(nèi)新建工廠、擴建和重新啟動工廠的化工制造行業(yè)來說，特朗普總統(tǒng)的決定非常糟糕。因為這些投資項目中有一半以上仍處于規(guī)劃階段，關稅上調(diào)引起的市場變動可能會讓投資者將項目轉(zhuǎn)移至別的國家和地區(qū)。”

Chemical industry slams Trump steel tariffs
The Trump administration’s decision to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum is unpopular with many industries, including the chemical sector. The U.S. industry’s leading trade group, the American Chemistry Council (ACC), is condemning the measure, saying it will hurt industry competitiveness.
The ACC has asked Trump to reconsider the tariffs because they will drive up the cost of building chemical plants in the U.S.
“For a chemical manufacturing industry that has invested $185 billion in new factories, expansions, and restarts of facilities around the country, President Trump’s announcement comes at the worst possible time,” ACC said. “More than half of these investment projects are still in the planning stage, and market shifts caused by tariff increases may convince investors to do business elsewhere.”
