시작
The video introduces the topic of President Trump's tariff policies and their impact on various countries. It notes that many countries are suffering from tariffs imposed by the United States and are beginning to respond in kind. The introduction sets the stage for a discussion of the political and economic implications of these tariffs.
브라질에 50% 관세 매긴 트럼프 대통령
President Trump is imposing tariffs ranging from 10% to 50% on various countries, including a 50% tariff on imported products from Brazil. This action has drawn strong opposition from Brazilian President Lula, who has warned that Brazil will impose retaliatory tariffs of 50% if negotiations do not go well. Despite the potential for economic repercussions, Trump's administration has moved forward with these tariffs.
관세에 숨은 트럼프 대통령의 속내
The tariffs imposed by President Trump carry a political message beyond mere economics. Trump openly supported former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, claiming that Brazil has a trade deficit with the United States due to additional tariff barriers, which is not entirely accurate. Trump and Bolsonaro have a friendship, supporting each other in their respective presidential elections. Trump is also reacting to Brazil's role in the BRICS nations, particularly their discussions about moving away from dollar hegemony, which he views as a threat to U.S. economic power.
그에 못지 않은 룰라 대통령의 속내
President Lula's strong response to Trump's tariffs also has underlying motives. While Brazil stands to lose from the 50% tariff, responding strongly to what is perceived as an infringement on sovereignty can consolidate Lula's support base. This issue may rally the middle class, who previously voted for protectionist policies, to support Lula's stance against the U.S. tariffs.
관세에 참지 않는 나라들
More countries are responding strongly to Trump's tariff policies. The United States is attempting to lead the world trade order through strong hegemony, but its tariff policies are seen as lacking principle and ignoring international agreements. This has led to a backlash against American unilateralism. Leaders like German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and France have announced retaliatory measures, and even Japan has expressed a hardline stance against the tariffs.
동맹국한테도 관세 때리는 이유
President Trump is imposing tariffs even on allies as part of a strategy to "tame" them. The U.S. demands that its allies share roles and costs, arguing that they have benefited from U.S. security guarantees and the economic order created by the U.S. Therefore, they should share the burden. However, this approach has damaged U.S. leadership, as more countries are reacting strongly against these policies. The divisions and dissatisfaction among U.S. allies are factors that the U.S. should pay attention to as it reorganizes the international order.
