英媒：特朗普派出经济团队去中国谈判

We'll get it done! Trump sends his economic team to China for talks amid trade war stand-off: 'This should have been fixed years ago'

我们会解决问题的！在贸易战僵局中，特朗普派经济团队前往进行谈判：“早就该解决了。”

President Trump is sending his economic team to Beiing for a stare down on trade.

特朗普总统派出经济团队前往北京讨论贸易关系。

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross will be among the U.S. officials on at the negotiating table in China, the White House said in a statement on Monday evening.

白宫在周一晚间的一份声明中表示，美国财政部长史蒂芬·姆努钦和商务部长威尔伯·罗斯将会和美方官员一起出现在的谈判桌上。

'Very much like North Korea, this should have been fixed years ago, not now,' he said Tuesday of the United States' wide trade deficit with China. 'Same with other countries and NAFTA...but it will all get done. Great Potential for USA!'

周二，他在谈到美国对的巨额贸易赤字问题时说，“就像朝鲜问题一样，早就应该解决了，不应该拖到现在。应该像我们与其他国家和北美自由贸易协定一样……但一切都会解决的。美国有巨大的潜能!”

The U.S. and China have been in a stand-off that threatened to escalate in a full-blown trade war since Trump announced $50 billion of tariffs on Chinese imports.

自特朗普宣布对进口商品征收500亿美元关税以来，美国和之间一直处于互不让步的僵局状态，可能升级为全面的贸易战。

At the same time, China escalated a separate dispute with the U.S. over Trump's worldwide steel and aluminum tariffs to the World Trade Organization.

与此同时，在世界贸易组织内部向美国提出针对特朗普在全球范围内的钢铁和铝材关税问题的申诉。

In a Fox Business appearance this week, Mnuchin said that a trade war is 'not a worry of mine' and that Trump merely wants 'free and fair and reciprocal trade.'

姆努钦本周在福克斯商业活动中说，“贸易战不是我的担心”，而特朗普只是想要“自由、公平、互惠的交易”。

Mnuchin said he expected to have 'very frank discussions' with the Chinese this week in Beiing.

姆努钦说，他期待本周在北京与进行“非常坦率的讨论”。

'I'm cautiously optimistic about the meetings. I don't really want to predict what's going to happen or what's not going to happen,' he said. 'These are issues that President Trump has been focused on for over the last year, and hopefully we'll make significant progress. We're going there to make progress, that's our objective.'

他说，“我对会谈持谨慎乐观的态度。我真的不想预测会发生什么，不会发生什么。这些问题是特朗普总统去年起就一直关注的，希望我们能取得重大进展。我们此行是去争取取得进展的，这是我们的目标。”

U.S. officials will be in Beiing on Thursday and Friday.

美国官员将于周四、周五访问北京。

'We're looking to have a very frank discussion on trade, on the issues of the trade imbalance,' Mnuchin said Monday.

姆努钦周一说，“我们希望就贸易失衡问题进行开诚布公的讨论。”

Larry Kudlow, the president's chief economic advisor, will also participate in talks.

总统的首席经济顾问拉里库德洛也将参加会谈。

'We are representing the interests of the United States, and we have complaints - we've made no bones about that - so we wish to resolve these complaints,' Kudlow told White House reporters last week.

库德洛上周对白宫记者说，“我们代表着美国的利益，我们也有不满，我们对此毫不犹豫，所以我们希望解决这些问题。”

Kudlow said, 'That is our hope, that we can make some progress. It's not going to be final, it's not going to be the end of the line. It's a long process.'

库德洛说，“我们希望可以取得一些进展。这不会是最终的会谈，也不会是终点。这将是一个漫长的过程。”

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Trump's senior trade adviser Peter Navarro will also be a part of the U.S. delegation, as will U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstad, the White House says.

白宫表示，美国贸易代表罗伯特·莱特希泽和特朗普高级贸易顾问彼得·纳瓦罗将列席美国代表团，美国驻大使特里·布兰斯塔德也将出席。

Trojanapolis, There, United States, about 3 hours ago

What happened to the promise we would be able to do our Income Taxes on a postcard this year?

今年不是承诺会对我们的所得税做点什么吗，然后呢?

Trojanapolis, There, United States, 3 hours ago

Trump did not want it fixed years ago, because he benefited from it as a businessman!

特朗普才不想早早解决呢，因为他之前作为商人，从中获益颇丰呢。
