Esi sivumelwano sifikelelwe kwintlanganiso yamazwe aseMelika kunye namazwe angamalungu e-European Union eRome, kwaye siza kugcina amanyathelo okukhusela urhwebo ukuze sinike imbeko kwimibutho yabasebenzi besinyithi exhasa uMongameli uBiden.
IWASHINGTON — Urhulumente waseBiden ubhengeze ngoMgqibelo ukuba ufikelele kwisivumelwano sokunciphisa irhafu kwintsimbi nakwi-aluminium yaseYurophu. Amagosa athe esi sivumelwano siza kunciphisa iindleko zeempahla ezifana neemoto kunye noomatshini bokuhlamba, sinciphise ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni, kwaye sincede ekukhuthazeni ukusebenza kwekhonkco lokubonelela.
Esi sivumelwano sifikelelwe ngethuba lentlanganiso phakathi kukaMongameli uBiden kunye nezinye iinkokheli zehlabathi kwingqungquthela ye-G20 eRoma. Injongo yaso kukunciphisa uxinzelelo lwezorhwebo lwase-Atlantic, olwasekwa nguMongameli wangaphambili uDonald Trump (uDonald J. Trump) olukhokelele ekuwohlokeni, urhulumente kaTrump ekuqaleni wabeka irhafu. UMnu. Biden ukucacisile ukuba ufuna ukulungisa ubudlelwane neManyano yaseYurophu, kodwa esi sivumelwano sikwabonakala ngathi senziwe ngononophelo ukuze kuthintelwe ukuqhelanisa imibutho yabasebenzi baseMelika kunye nabavelisi abaxhasa uMnu. Biden.
Ishiye amanyathelo okukhusela amashishini esinyithi ne-aluminium aseMelika, kwaye iguqule iirhafu zangoku ezingama-25% kwintsimbi yaseYurophu kunye neerhafu ze-10% kwi-aluminium zaba zizabelo ezibizwa ngokuba ziirhafu. Eli lungiselelo linokufikelela kumanqanaba aphezulu eerhafu zokungenisa impahla. Iirhafu eziphezulu.
Esi sivumelwano siza kuphelisa irhafu yokuziphindezela ye-EU kwiimveliso zaseMelika eziquka ijusi yeorenji, ibourbon kunye neebhayisekile. Siza kuthintela nokubeka irhafu eyongezelelweyo kwiimveliso zaseMelika ezicwangciselwe ukusebenza ngoDisemba 1.
Unobhala wezoRhwebo uGina Raimondo (uGina Raimondo) uthe: “Silindele ngokupheleleyo ukuba njengoko sinyusa iirhafu ngama-25% kwaye sinyusa umthamo, esi sivumelwano siya kunciphisa umthwalo kwikhonkco lokubonelela kwaye sinciphise ukunyuka kweendleko.”
Kwingxelo-ntetho neentatheli, uNksz Raimundo uthe le ntengiselwano ivumela iMelika kunye neManyano yaseYurophu ukuba baseke isakhelo sokuqwalasela amandla ekhabhoni xa bevelisa intsimbi kunye ne-aluminium, nto leyo enokubanceda benze iimveliso ezicocekileyo kuneManyano yaseYurophu. Yenzelwe eTshayina.
“Ukungabikho kwemigangatho yokusingqongileyo kweTshayina yinxalenye yesizathu sokunciphisa iindleko, kodwa kukwangunobangela omkhulu wotshintsho lwemozulu,” utshilo uNksz Raimundo.
Emva kokuba urhulumente kaTrump egqibe kwelokuba izinyithi zangaphandle ziyingozi kukhuseleko lwesizwe, wabeka irhafu kumazwe amaninzi, kuquka namazwe e-EU.
UMnu. Biden uthembise ukusebenzisana ngokusondeleyo neYurophu. Uchaze iYurophu njengeqabane ekulweni notshintsho lwemozulu kunye nokukhuphisana noqoqosho olunobuzwilakhe olufana neTshayina. Kodwa ebephantsi koxinzelelo oluvela kubavelisi besinyithi baseMelika kunye nemibutho yabasebenzi ukuba bamcele ukuba angazisusi ngokupheleleyo izithintelo zorhwebo, nto leyo enceda ekukhuseleni amashishini asekhaya kwintsalela yezinyithi zangaphandle ezingabizi kakhulu.
Le ntengiselwano iphawula inyathelo lokugqibela lolawulo lukaBiden lokuphakamisa imfazwe yorhwebo kaTrump enqumla iAtlantic. NgoJuni, amagosa aseMelika naseYurophu abhengeze ukuphela kwengxabano yeminyaka eli-17 malunga neenkxaso-mali phakathi kweAirbus neBoeing. Ekupheleni kukaSeptemba, iUnited States neYurophu zibhengeze ukusungulwa kobudlelwane obutsha borhwebo nobuchwepheshe kwaye zafikelela kwisivumelwano malunga nerhafu ephantsi yehlabathi ekuqaleni kwale nyanga.
Ngokutsho kwabantu abaqhelene nalo mba, phantsi kwemiqathango emitsha, i-EU iya kuvunyelwa ukuthumela ngaphandle iitoni zentsimbi ezizizigidi ezi-3.3 eMelika ngaphandle kwerhafu minyaka le, kwaye nasiphi na isixa esidlula esi sixa siya kuhlawuliswa irhafu ye-25%. Iimveliso ezikhululwe kwiirhafu kulo nyaka nazo ziya kukhululwa okwethutyana.
Esi sivumelwano siza kuthintela iimveliso ezigqityiweyo eYurophu kodwa zisebenzisa intsimbi evela eTshayina, eRashiya, eMzantsi Korea nakwamanye amazwe. Ukuze zifanelekele unyango olungenarhafu, iimveliso zentsimbi kufuneka zenziwe ngokupheleleyo kwiManyano yaseYurophu.
UJack Sullivan, umcebisi wokhuseleko lwesizwe kamongameli, uthe esi sivumelwano sisuse "enye yezona zinto zibalulekileyo kubudlelwane phakathi kwe-US ne-EU."
Imibutho yesinyithi eMelika income esi sivumelwano, isithi esi sivumelwano siza kunciphisa ukuthunyelwa kwempahla eYurophu kumanqanaba aphantsi ngokwembali. I-United States ingenise iitoni ezi-4.8 zezigidi zentsimbi yaseYurophu ngo-2018, eyehla yaya kwi-3.9 yezigidi zeetoni ngo-2019 kunye ne-2.5 yezigidi zeetoni ngo-2020.
Kwingxelo, uThomas M. Conway, uMongameli we-United Steelworkers International, uthe eli lungiselelo liza “kuqinisekisa ukuba amashishini asekhaya e-United States ahlala ekhuphisana kwaye anokuhlangabezana neemfuno zethu zokhuseleko kunye neziseko zophuhliso.”
UMark Duffy, umphathi omkhulu we-American Primary Aluminium Association, uthe le ntengiselwano “iza kugcina ukusebenza kakuhle kweerhafu zikaMnu. Trump” kwaye “kwangaxeshanye ivumele ukuba sixhase utyalo-mali oluqhubekayo kwishishini le-aluminium ephambili laseMelika kwaye sidale imisebenzi engakumbi e-Alcoa.”
Uthe olu lungiselelo luza kuxhasa ishishini le-aluminium laseMelika ngokunciphisa ukungeniswa kwempahla ngaphandle kwerhafu ukuya kumanqanaba aphantsi ngokwembali.
Amanye amazwe asafuna ukuhlawula irhafu okanye iikowuteshini zase-US, kuquka i-United Kingdom, iJapan, kunye neSouth Korea. I-American Chamber of Commerce, echasene nerhafu yesinyithi, ithe esi sivumelwano asanele.
UMyron Brilliant, usekela-mongameli oyintloko we-US Chamber of Commerce, uthe esi sivumelwano "siza kubonelela ngoncedo kubavelisi baseMelika abajongene nokunyuka kwamaxabiso entsimbi kunye nokunqongophala kwayo, kodwa kufuneka amanyathelo angaphezulu."
“I-United States mayiyeke izityholo ezingenasihlahla zokuba izinyithi ezingeniswe eBritane, eJapan, eMzantsi Korea nakwamanye amaqabane asondeleyo ziyingozi kukhuseleko lwesizwe sethu—kwaye zinciphise iirhafu kunye nee-quotas ngaxeshanye,” utshilo.
