10 月 15 日（路透社）——共和党总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普周二为他的贸易保护主义政策和其他财政提案辩护，驳斥了这些政策可能会推高联邦债务、激怒盟友并损害美国经济的说法。
“我们只关心增长。 “我们将把公司带回我们的国家，”这位前总统在芝加哥经济俱乐部接受采访时，有时气氛有些紧张。
采访者是彭博新闻社主编约翰·米克尔思韦特，他引用了预算分析师的预测，即特朗普的计划将在 2035 年之前使联邦债务增加 7.5 万亿美元，是特朗普在 11 月 5 日大选中的民主党对手、副总统卡马拉·哈里斯所青睐的政策的两倍多。
特朗普坚称，他的贸易政策——要求对不仅来自中国等竞争对手，而且来自欧盟等盟友的商品征收高额关税——将振兴美国制造业，并产生足够的收入，以缓解对赤字膨胀的担忧。
“对我来说，世界上最美丽的词是‘关税’，”特朗普说。
在周三录制的亚特兰大福克斯新闻全女性市政厅活动中，特朗普表示，他将努力为低收入美国人争取更多税收减免。
“我们将重新调整，让所有人都公平，因为现在的情况对所有人都不公平，”他说。“这对某些人来说不公平，我们不会接受这种结果。”
一些贸易专家认为，特朗普提出的关税可能会损害美国经济，危及就业，推高消费价格。
“你所要做的就是在美国建厂，这样就不会被征收任何关税，”特朗普说。 “我同意这将产生巨大的影响，是积极的影响，而不是消极的影响。”
特朗普重申，他将对在墨西哥组装和进口的汽车征收高额关税——最高可达 200%。他还表示，他将对从德国等国家进口的汽车征收关税，以迫使外国公司在美国生产产品。
当米克尔思韦特告诉特朗普，这些努力可能会惹恼美国需要与中国竞争的盟友时，特朗普回应说：“我们的盟友比我们的敌人更能利用我们。”
2017 年至 2021 年担任总统期间，特朗普对进口洗衣机、太阳能电池板、钢铁、铝以及来自中国和欧洲的商品征收了惩罚性关税。
特朗普与米克尔思韦特的会谈不同于关于其经济计划的典型采访，后者涉及更友好的广播员，例如福克斯新闻的玛丽亚·巴蒂罗莫和拉里·库德洛，后者曾担任特朗普在白宫的首席经济顾问。

房间里的支持者经常为他的评论欢呼，并对米克尔思韦特的一些问题报以嘘声。
特朗普似乎放弃了之前的言论，即作为总统，他应该能够控制美联储。
“我认为我有权说我认为你应该稍微提高或降低一点，”特朗普在谈到设定利率时说。“我不认为我应该被允许下达命令，但我认为我有权就利率是否应该上升或下降发表评论。”
当被问及是否会罢免美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔时，他没有回答。
权衡
采访涵盖了经济以外的广泛话题，特朗普一如既往地拒绝直接回答一些问题，转移话题，沉迷于延长切线并批评米克尔思韦特。
当被问及离开白宫后是否与俄罗斯总统普京通过电话时，特朗普说：“我不对此发表评论，但我会告诉你，如果我这样做了，那是一件聪明的事。如果我与人们有关系，那是一件好事，而不是坏事。”
当被问及如果台湾被中国入侵，美国是否会保卫台湾时，他没有直接回答。
“（中国）现在这样做的原因是他们以后不会再这样做了，”他说。
当被问及他是否会试图拆分科技巨头 Alphabet 旗下的谷歌时，特朗普暗示编辑称，这是针对他的“操纵”，并表示“我会做点什么”。
特朗普再次为他在 2020 年大选后的行为辩护，并拒绝透露如果他输了，他是否会接受 2024 年的选举结果并同意和平移交权力。
他坚称，在 2020 年输掉选举后，权力进行了和平移交，对 2021 年 1 月 6 日发生的事件不以为然，当时他的支持者冲进美国国会大厦，阻止选举认证。四名参与者在混乱中死亡，五名警察随后死亡，其中一些是自杀。
特朗普说：“这是爱与和平，一些人去了国会大厦，那里发生了很多奇怪的事情。”

Under fire, Trump contends economic policies won't boost federal debt

- Analysts say Trump plans could add $7.5 trillion to federal debt by 2035
- Trump backs away from suggesting control over Federal Reserve
Oct 15 (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday defended his protectionist trade policies and other fiscal proposals, dismissing suggestions that they could drive up the federal debt, antagonize allies and harm the U.S. economy.
“We’re all about growth. We’re going to bring companies back to our country,” the former president said in a sometimes-tense interview at the Economic Club of Chicago.
The interviewer, John Micklethwait, editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News, cited projections by budget analysts that Trump’s plans would add $7.5 trillion to the federal debt through the year 2035, more than twice that of policies favored by Trump’s Democratic opponent in the Nov. 5 election, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump maintained that his trade policies - which call for pricey tariffs on goods not only from rivals such as China but allies such as the European Union - would revitalize American manufacturing and yield enough revenue to ease concerns about ballooning the deficit.
"To me, the most beautiful word in the world is 'tariff,'" Trump said.
In a later all-women Fox News town hall event in Atlanta, taped for broadcast on Wednesday, Trump said he would work toward more tax breaks for lower-income Americans.
"We're going to readjust things so that it's fair to everybody, because it's really not fair to everybody," he said. "It's unfair to some people and we're not going to have that."
Some trade experts have argued Trump's proposed tariffs could damage the U.S. economy, jeopardize jobs and drive up consumer prices.
“All you have to do is build your plants in the United States, and you won’t have any tariffs,” Trump said. “I agree it’s going to have a massive effect, a positive effect, not a negative."
Trump reiterated that he would levy a high tariff on vehicles assembled in and imported from Mexico - as high as 200%, he said. And he said he would impose duties on imported cars from countries such as Germany in order to force foreign companies to manufacture their products in the U.S.
When Micklethwait told Trump those efforts might annoy allies the U.S. needs to compete against China, Trump responded by saying, “Our allies have taken advantage of us more than our enemies.”
As president from 2017 to 2021, Trump imposed punitive tariffs on imported washing machines, solar panels, steel, aluminum and goods from China and Europe.
Trump's sit-down with Micklethwait was a departure from typical interviews on his economic plans, which involve more friendly broadcasters, such as Fox News' Maria Bartiromo and Larry Kudlow, who served as Trump's top economic adviser in the White House.

A supportive crowd in the room often cheered his comments and booed some of Micklethwait's questions.
Trump appeared to back away from previous comments that as president, he should be able to exert control over the Federal Reserve.
"I think I have the right to say I think you should go up or down a little bit," Trump said, referring to setting interest rates. "I don't think I should be allowed to order it, but I think I have the right to put in comments as to whether or not the interest rates should go up or down."
He didn't answer when asked whether he would remove Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
WEIGHING IN
The interview covered a wide range of topics beyond the economy, with Trump characteristically refusing to directly answer some questions, changing the subject, indulging in extended tangents and criticizing Micklethwait.
Asked if he had spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin since leaving the White House, Trump said: "I don't comment on that, but I will tell you that if I did, it's a smart thing. If I have a relationship with people, that's a good thing, not a bad thing."
He did not respond directly when asked if the U.S. would defend Taiwan if it were invaded by China.
"The reason (China is) doing it now is they're not going to do it afterward," he said.
Asked if he would try to break up tech giant Alphabet's Google, Trump suggested it was "rigged" against him and said, "I'd do something."
Trump again defended his actions in the wake of the 2020 election and refused to say whether he would accept the 2024 election results and agree to a peaceful transfer of power should he lose.
He insisted there was a peaceful transfer of power after his 2020 loss, shrugging off the events of Jan. 6, 2021, when his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol to halt certification of the election. Four participants died during the chaos and five police officers died afterward, some by suicide.
"It was love and peace and some people went to the Capitol and a lot of strange things happened there," Trump said.
