经济顾问称美经济增速有望达4% 未来还有几轮减税

　　美国白宫国家经济委员会主任、美国总统特朗普经济顾问库德洛（Larry Kudlow）周三（7月18日）对美国经济发表了乐观的观点。他表示，在特朗普2017年底推出企业减税的举措后，美国还会推出新的财政刺激措施，预计这些措施将使美国GDP增速达到4%左右。

未来美国还会推出几轮减税

　　库德洛表示，作为美国政府促进经济增长计划的一部分，未来还会有几轮减税。

　　在被问及去年通过减税法案后，美国政府是否考虑更多的税收立法时，库德洛表示，会有税法2.0、3.0和4.0。

　　经济学家普遍预计，今年二季度美国经济增长将接近4%。今年一季度，美国经济增长2%，去年增长2.3%。

　　库德洛称，经济增速或在“未来一两个季度”上升至4%，届时美国财政赤字将达到4%或5%。

　　美国政府利用减税、增加支出等多种手段，努力让经济摆脱金融危机后库德洛所称的“经济增长衰退”。库德洛表示：“有些孩子，有些00后从没见过全面、持久的经济繁荣。20年来我们没有看到过经济繁荣。”

　　关于国际贸易问题，库德洛表示，他并不赞同一揽子关税政策，他重申了过去有关贸易与关税的观点，并表示没必要完全同意特朗普的贸易策略。

　　美国政府料欧盟会很快带来重大贸易提议

　　欧盟委员会主席容克定于下周25日访问美国，寻求说服美国特朗普放弃对欧盟钢铝产品以及汽车征收高关税。库德洛表示：“我们会进行谈判。听说，他会带来一个非常重要的自由贸易提议。”

　　美国总统特朗普在很多方面展开贸易谈判，利用对钢材和铝产品的进口关税及威胁对汽车进口征收关税作为谈判的筹码。这些关税激怒了美国长期的欧洲盟友及其它国家，在上周特朗普出席北约峰会后，美国与这些国家的紧张局势进一步升温。

　　美国6月1日起向欧盟、加拿大和墨西哥钢铝产品征收高关税，欧盟同月22日对价值总额28亿欧元的美国商品征收25%的关税，以回应美方的做法。特朗普随后威胁对欧盟汽车及其零部件征收20%关税。

　　德国总理默克尔上周表示，支持与欧盟的贸易伙伴就降低汽车关税与美国展开对话。有媒体将这解读为默克尔在向特朗普伸出橄榄枝。

　　Trump advisor Kudlow says economic growth could top 4% for "a quarter or two," more tax cuts could be coming

　　Larry Kudlow, President Donald Trump"s top economic advisor, gave an optimistic view of the economy on Wednesday in which growth will run considerably above what has been the norm for the past decade.

　　Kudlow spoke at CNBC"s Delivering Alpha conference in New York.

　　As part of the administration"s plan to grow the economy, Kudlow said there would be additional rounds of tax cuts ahead.

　　"We are getting 3 [percent] and it may be 4 for a quarter or two," Kudlow told CNBC"s Jim Cramer. "That"s all for the good. Literally millions more people are working."

　　Asked whether the administration is considering more tax legislation following the cuts passed late last year, Kudlow said there could be a "2.0 and 3.0 and a 4.0."

　　Economists widely expect second-quarter growth to approach 4 percent after GDP rose 2 percent in the first quarter and 2.3 percent in 2017, Trump"s first year in office.

　　The administration has used a mix of tax cuts, spending increases and regulatory rollbacks in an effort to goose the economy out of what Kudlow characterized as a "growth recession" after the financial crisis.

　　"You"ve got kids, millennials etc. ... who have never seen a full-fledged, long-lasting prosperity," Kudlow said. "It"s not that they"re cynics, they"ve just never seen it. We haven"t had one in 20 years."

　　His remarks come as the White House has launched a trade war against both adversaries like China and friends including European Union nations. Long known as a free market proponent, Kudlow has said that while he generally opposes tariffs, something needs to be done

　　"This guy, President Trump, has the biggest backbone," he said. "He will not let go of this point, nor should he in my opinion."

　　Kudlow claimed that sources have told the administration that "the Chinese government knows they"re wrong."

　　"They know they"re wrong, the rest of the world knows they"re wrong" he said. "Something has to be done here.
