特朗普宣布外国制造工厂机器人进口构成国家安全威胁
Trump declares robot imports a national security threat
美国总统特朗普于10月28日宣布，外国制造的工厂机器人进口构成国家安全威胁，并下令与美国贸易伙伴进行新的谈判，未来可能对这类机器人进口征收新关税。特朗普的总统声明表示，对国外制造的工业机器人进行审查，可能对依赖此类机器人的美国大型制造企业造成影响，包括通用汽车、福特、特斯拉、波音和洛克希德·马丁等公司。
President Donald Trump has declared the imports of foreign-made factory robots to be a national security threat—ordering new US negotiations with trading partners while holding out the possibility of imposing new tariffs on such robot imports in the future.
Issued on October 28, Trump’s presidential proclamation represents heightened government scrutiny of foreign-made industrial robots that could complicate the manufacturing operations of major US corporations that rely on such robots. Those companies include Detroit automakers General Motors and Ford, electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla, and aerospace and defense giants like Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
Trump’s proclamation describes industrial robots and machinery as being crucial for producing US military weapon systems along with representing a “driving force” behind all critical infrastructure sectors within the US economy. The proclamation cites an investigation under US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick as having found that US imports of such robots “pose[] risks to the United States industrial base and threatens the long-term competitiveness of the United States in a sector that is increasingly vital to national security.”
