レモンド米商務長官、中国に｢責任負わせる｣

これはダメですかね？
米国は反競争的な行為や「残忍な」人権侵害の責任を中国に問い、中国の行動がもたらす「脅威」に対応するため利用可能なあらゆる手段を活用するとレモンド米商務長官が表明した。レモンド長官は４日にＭＳＮＢＣとのインタビューで、「中国に責任を負わせる必要がある」と発言。輸出を厳しく制限する「エンティティー・リスト」に掲載するという選択肢を、「十二分に」活用する意向を表明した。同リストに掲載された企業は、事前に米政府のライセンスを取得せずに米企業とビジネスをすることが禁じられる。レモンド氏は「中国の行為およびその脅威がもたらす重大さを認識しなければならない」と話した。

Tariffs that Donald Trump placed on foreign steel and aluminum have been “effective,” President Joe Biden’s commerce secretary said, an indication that the Biden administration won’t soon abolish the highly contentious duties.

“The data show that those tariffs have been effective,” Gina Raimondo said in an interview with MSNBC on Thursday. “What President Biden has said is there will be a whole-of-government review of all of these policies and decide what it makes sense to maintain.”

Trump implemented a 25% duty on steel imports and 10% on inward-bound shipments of aluminum three years ago on national-security grounds, saying they were needed to protect the domestic industry from going under.

Industry groups representing the top U.S. steel producers and the United Steelworkers union in January urged Biden to preserve the steel tariffs, calling them “essential” to the viability of the domestic industry. But manufacturers have called on Biden to end the duties, saying they hurt family-owned businesses and fractured relationships with trading partners from Mexico and Canada to the European Union and Japan.
