❷ 制造业将丢7万饭碗
Up to 70,000 net jobs in manufacturing are projected to be lost due to steel and aluminum tariffs. And by jeopardizing access to global markets, the ongoing brinksmanship will directly undercut American manufacturing by increasing the price of the foreign inputs, including steel inputs, that our factories rely on to create internationally competitive finished goods, while threatening our status as the world's leading exporter of services and capital goods.
据预计，针对钢铁和铝的关税政策，将使美国失去多达7万个制造业净工作。此外，目前施行中的边缘政策让美国进入国际市场越来越难，这直接削弱了美国的制造业，因为我们一直依赖钢铁来生产具有国际竞争力的成品，而外国输入的产品，包括钢铁的价格又上涨了。这样一来，美国作为世界领先的服务与资本货物出口大国的地位也岌岌可危。
The forgotten Americans President Trump pledged to pay attention to—notably farmers and manufacturing workers—are precisely the people who will be hurt the most.
特朗普总统曾经承诺会关注那些被遗忘美国人，尤其是农民和制造业工人，如今，这些人恰恰成为了损失最为惨重的一群人。
文章称，这些都反应了美国贸易政策的根本性错误：他只着眼关税却忽视全球贸易规则。
This ignores the fact that these trade deficits are not the direct result of trade policy, but of the dollar serving as the global currency of choice, the impact of countries' savings and investment rates, and our reliance on foreign capital to make up the difference between what we save and what we spend.
他忽视了贸易逆差不是贸易政策的直接原因，而是美元作为全球货币选择，美国国内存款和投资率的影响，以及美国用外部投资来平衡支出和存款所产生的依赖。
最后，赛利格表示，特朗普的贸易政策真是应了句老话：
If the disease doesn't kill you, the cure surely will.
如果疾病没能要了你的命，那你吃的药铁定会。
