川普對等關稅一年 簽逾20項協議、政策修改逾50次
Newtalk新聞 美國總統川普對貿易夥伴祭出對等關稅今天滿一年，白宮細數成果，強調完成逾20項貿易協議、加速製造業回流美國。稅務政策專家指出，關稅政策一年來歷經逾50次變動，不確定性對整體經濟環境產生影響。 川普（Donald Trump）去年4月2日對貿易夥伴祭出「對等關稅」，並稱當日為「解放日」。白宮今天透過新聞稿對外表示，美國經濟較12個月前更具韌性、競爭力、並且更加安全，這項「美國優先」的貿易政策成果豐碩，達成超過20項新的貿易協議。 白宮細數成果，除了與各國簽署貿易協議外，也強調政策重塑全球貿易平衡；美國過去一年對中國的商品貿易逆差下降32%，自2000年以來，中國首次不再是美國最大貿易逆差來源國；另外，政策帶動了製造業復興，促成數兆美元的民間和外國投資。 華盛頓郵報（The Washington Post）評論指出，川普重塑全球貿易的結果喜憂參半。無論從哪個角度來看，一年來的政策變化，已深刻改變美國與全球的互動方式。 華郵闡述，中國輸往美國的商品，已不再像全球化興盛時期的規模那樣龐大；同時，美國政府正致力確保21世紀經濟所需的關鍵礦產由國內供應，而非依賴外國。 美國多家媒體、稅務政策專家點出「不確定性因素」對整體經濟和股市產生影響。 全國公共電台（NPR）引述稅務基金會（Tax Foundation）政策專家約克（Erica York）說法指出，解放日至今，關稅相關措施前後調整超過50次，高度波動性導致去年就業成長疲弱、經濟成長放緩，企業增加看不見的成本，她稱之為「不確定性稅」。 全國公共電台提到，美國進口商承擔大部分關稅，在部分情況下，他們也將成本轉嫁給消費者。 美國智庫外交關係協會（CFR）引述紐約聯邦準備銀行（Federal Reserve Bank of New York）的報告指出，至2025年8月，美國進口商、企業、及民眾承擔約94%的關稅成本；外國出口商則透過降低進口價格的方式承擔約6%，這個數字到當年年底已從6%提高到14%。 全國公共電台也指出，關稅雖為政府帶來了可觀收入，但當中一半必須退還。由於最高法院日前裁定，總統無權單方面制定或調整關稅，海關人員正擬定退款方案，將退還約1660億美元（約新台幣5.3兆元）的關稅，希望在4月中前敲定相關細節。延伸閱讀：川普嗆「打回石器時代」 伊朗軍方反擊:行動將更具毀滅性(影) 川普超狂奪鈾計劃曝光 ! 空運挖掘設備、建簡易跑道 地面美軍搶千磅濃縮鈾不滿法國不幫忙! 馬克宏遭碧姬打臉糗事遭重提 川普諷 :「妻子對他不好」川又贏？川普演說宣布取得壓倒性勝利：未來兩到三周內把伊朗送回石器時代川普演說重點只有一個！胡采蘋：他就是要滅了伊朗神學政權

馬英九基金會風波續燒? 傳戴遐齡遭撤換 羅智強、陳以信呼聲高
Newtalk新聞 馬英九基金會近期陷入劇烈人事風波，長年擔任前總統馬英九核心幕僚的副主席蕭旭岑及前執行長王光慈，遭指控「違反財政紀律」被切割離職。此舉不僅引發國安會前秘書長金溥聰與前立委邱毅的隔空交火，現更傳出代理執行長戴遐齡恐遭撤換，由立委羅智強或前立委陳以信接手。 事件起因於前執行長蕭旭岑及前幕僚王光慈遭指控違反財政紀律。前總統馬英九在國安會前秘書長金溥聰、董事高華柱及律師的陪同下，於二月親自召集會議宣布解除兩人職務。金溥聰證實，他是在農曆年前於越南度假時接獲馬英九致電受託處理。雖然蕭旭岑對外表示尊重基金會處理，但此舉卻引發前立委邱毅強烈質疑，批評金溥聰是利用馬英九的失智狀態操作權力鬥爭，並正式告發金涉及強制與恐嚇罪；金溥聰則強硬反擊，除針對網路AI抹黑影片報警外，也研議對邱毅的言論併案提告。 然而，基金會內部動盪並未隨著法律戰的開啟而平息，現任代理執行長戴遐齡的處事風格反而成為新的導火線。據了解，戴遐齡目前僅是代理職務，並未獲得董事會正式任命「真除」，多位董事對其表現頗有微詞。不滿情緒主要源於戴遐齡安排馬英九接受媒體專訪，被質疑是將馬推上火線承受不必要的攻擊，未盡到保護責任；此外，董事會原先針對組成「三人調查小組」一事已有保密共識，戴遐齡卻在會後逕自發布新聞稿公開結論，被視為公然違背決議。 在代理職務引發爭議之際，戴遐齡今早於臉書發出感性圖文，透露回台南掃墓的心情，並寫下「帶著想念與一點點放不下，但也慢慢學會放下」，陳以信則在臉書表示，無人與他接觸此事，目前他積極經營台南選舉中，暫無其他想法。 關於上述傳聞，目前尚未獲得相關人士證實。延伸閱讀：金溥聰再爆馬英九基金會人事內幕 解職當天「其中一人」帶走大小章馬英九被暗示失智 金溥聰出面狠酸蕭旭岑、不甩鄭麗文 堅系參選人敗部復活？ 朱政騏涉共諜案遭開除黨籍 賴俊翰：已暫緩拆看板遭控霸凌狂換20名清潔工！ 俞大㵢妻發聲駁斥5/12通車倒數計時！專家小組進駐「淡江大橋」 展開3階段安全整備
