特朗普政府宣布打算与日本、欧盟和英国启动贸易协定谈判

华盛顿——在总统的指示下, 美国贸易代表罗伯特. 莱特今天通知国会,特朗普政府打算与日本、欧盟和英国分别谈判单独的贸易协定。

莱特大使说: "在特朗普总统的领导下, 我们将继续通过与日本、欧盟和英国贸易协定的谈判来扩大美国的贸易和投资。 "今天的宣布是这一进程中的一个重要里程碑。我们致力于为美国工人、农民、牧场主和企业完成这些谈判, 并取得及时和实质性的成果。

美国贸易代表在正式通知国会时, 遵循了2015年两党的国会贸易优先事项和责任法案中规定的程序--通常被称为贸易促进局 (TPA)--这需要与国会不断进行磋商。 这些磋商确保美国贸易代表在谈判时考虑国会的意见。美国贸易代表还将在联邦登记册上公布通告, 要求公众对贸易谈判的方向、重点和内容提出意见。

按照贸易促进局（TPA）的要求，贸易代表将至少在正式贸易谈判开始前30天公布谈判目标。

美国贸易代表办公室通告英文原文如下

Trump Administration Announces Intent to Negotiate Trade Agreements with Japan, the European Union and the United Kingdom

Washington, DC – At the direction of the President, United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer today notified Congress that the Trump Administration intends to negotiate three separate trade agreements with Japan, the European Union and the United Kingdom.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, we will continue to expand U.S. trade and investment by negotiating trade agreements with Japan, the EU and the United Kingdom,” said Ambassador Lighthizer.  “Today’s announcement is an important milestone in that process. We are committed to concluding these negotiations with timely and substantive results for American workers, farmers, ranchers, and businesses.”

In officially notifying Congress, the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) is following the procedures set out in the Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015 – often referred to as Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) – which requires ongoing consultations with Congress.  These consultations ensure that USTR develops negotiating positions with the benefit of Congress’ views. USTR will also publish notices in the Federal Register requesting the public’s input on the direction, focus and content of the trade negotiations.

In accordance with TPA, USTR will publish objectives for the negotiations at least 30 days before formal trade negotiations begin.

Background Information

U.S.-Japan Trade

此前美日、美欧已经有联合声明；谈判启动则代表各方付出行动的第一步。

如果会谈成功，则是在美墨、美加、美韩之后的又一全球贸易规则重新制定的大事。看来，特朗普虽然和墨西哥及加拿大达成贸易协议，但美国并没获得实质性的大优惠，特朗普在中期选举大会活动中多次吹捧自己在美墨加协议中的政绩，但是目前看来美国选民并不是十分认可；于是特朗普抓紧抛出美日英欧的贸易谈判牌，为选情造势。
