美欧新贸易协议表面上缓解紧张,实际上却增加了欧洲的财政压力与战略负担。我院特聘研究员、瑞典“一带一路”研究所副所长侯赛因·阿斯卡里(Hussein Askary)接受了《新华社》的采访。
侯赛因·阿斯卡里认为,欧盟被迫接受一份既非出自本意也无实质受益的“妥协”,相关条款使欧洲在基础设施、医疗和教育等领域的发展受到牺牲。美国不可预测的贸易策略扰乱了跨大西洋的经贸关系,令依赖出口的经济体面临更大不确定性。
Swedish expert says U.S.-EU tariff deal adds burden on Europe
The EU was forced into a "compromise" it neither desired nor truly benefited from, said a Swedish expert.

STOCKHOLM, July 29 (Xinhua) -- The new trade deal between the United States and the European Union (EU) may ease tensions on paper, but in practice it adds financial pressure and strategic strain on Europe, said Hussein Askary, vice chairman of the Belt and Road Institute in Sweden.
U.S. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen claimed Sunday that they had reached a trade deal under which the United States would impose a baseline tariff of 15 percent on EU goods.
In an interview with Xinhua following the announcement, Askary said that the EU was forced into a "compromise" it neither desired nor truly benefited from.
"Fifteen percent is still high for European companies that are used to a freer trade environment," he said. "This is a compromise people are willing to accept, but it does not mean they like it."
Under the new deal, the EU has also pledged to purchase 750 billion U.S. dollars' worth of American energy and commit an additional 600 billion dollars in investments in the United States.
Askary argued that such terms shift Europe's priorities in a negative direction.
"We are sacrificing other aspects of our economic agenda -- infrastructure, healthcare and education -- in order to afford expensive American liquefied gas and other goods," he said.
He noted that economies like Sweden and Germany, heavily reliant on exports, are particularly sensitive to policy instability, such as the tariffs. "We need the free flow of goods, services and capital. That is essential for long-term planning, investment and continuity," he said.
The United States' unpredictable trade strategy has disrupted transatlantic business, he added.
