US President Donald Trump unveiled a new tariff policy on Wednesday afternoon to impose new tariffs on nearly all US trading partners, including a 34 percent levy on China.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于当地时间周三下午宣布实施新的关税政策，将对包括中国在内的几乎所有美国贸易伙伴加征新关税，其中对中国商品将征收34%的关税。

Trump, speaking from the White House Rose Garden, announced an "economic emergency", introducing a 10 percent "baseline" tariff on imported goods and additional punitive tariffs targeting around 60 countries with what he called "unfair trade practices".

在白宫玫瑰园发表讲话时，特朗普宣布美国进入"经济紧急状态"，提出对进口商品征收10%的"基准"关税，并对约60个存在所谓"不公平贸易行为"的国家加征惩罚性关税。

Trump said the tariff on all countries, except Canada and Mexico, will take effect on Saturday. He also announced that there would be "individualized" tariffs for countries that have the largest trade deficits with the United States, which would go into effect on April 9.

特朗普表示，除加拿大和墨西哥外，针对所有国家的关税将于本周六生效。他还宣布，对美存在最大贸易逆差的国家将实施"差别化"关税政策，该措施将于4月9日生效。

"For decades, our country has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe alike," Trump said, claiming that the tariffs were designed to boost domestic manufacturing.

"数十年来，我们的国家被远近邻邦、盟友与对手共同掠夺、劫掠、压榨和剥削。"特朗普声称，这些关税政策旨在重振美国制造业。

During his remarks, Trump displayed a chart detailing various US trading partners, highlighting what he claimed were the tariffs those countries imposed on the United States. He then proposed that the US would apply reciprocal tariffs at half the rate charged by each nation, including China's alleged 67 percent effective tariff rate when factoring in "currency manipulation and trade barriers".

在演讲过程中，特朗普展示了一份详细列举美国各贸易伙伴的图表，重点强调他声称的这些国家对美征收的关税水平。他进而提出，美国将按各国现行税率的一半征收对等关税，其中包括在考虑"货币操纵和贸易壁垒"因素后，中国据称实施的67%实际有效关税。

China, a central focus, was on the top of the chart, followed by the European Union.

作为核心关注对象的中国在图表中位列首位，欧盟紧随其后。
