历史上贸易保护主义的后果是很凄惨的,名义上是为了美国,实际上是害了美国,相当于开枪击中自己的脚。Trump is shooting himself in the foot.

美国议员 Ben Sasse 这么说:“我们曾经犯过这样的错误,贸易保护主义是30年代经济大萧条的原因之一。让美国再次伟大起来,不等于让美国再次回到1929年”9 h$ S# m, z' s, L4 M

We’ve been down this road before — blanket protectionism is a big part of why America had a Great Depression," Sasse's statement said. " 'Make America Great Again' shouldn’t mean 'Make America 1929 Again.' "6 ^( t, ^: x6 G; I

2 h7 a- x4 Z& ^$ r& n1 ~8 EUnfortunately for the administration, America’s top economic position does not shield it from the dire consequences that unilateral trade policy can provoke.
