Lesi sivumelwano safinyelelwa ngesikhathi somhlangano wabalingani be-United States kanye ne-European Union eRome, futhi sizogcina ezinye izindlela zokuvikela ukuhweba ukuze sihloniphe izinhlangano zensimbi ezisekela uMongameli uBiden.
WASHINGTON — Uhulumeni kaBiden umemezele ngoMgqibelo ukuthi ufinyelele esivumelwaneni sokunciphisa intela yensimbi ne-aluminium yaseYurophu. Izikhulu zithe lesi sivumelwano sizonciphisa izindleko zezimpahla ezifana nezimoto nemishini yokuwasha, sinciphise ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni, futhi sisize ekukhuthazeni ukusebenza kochungechunge lokuhlinzeka.
Lesi sivumelwano safinyelelwa ngesikhathi somhlangano phakathi kukaMongameli uBiden nabanye abaholi bomhlaba engqungqutheleni ye-G20 eRoma. Sihlose ukunciphisa ukungezwani kwezohwebo okuwela i-Atlantic, okwasungulwa nguMongameli wangaphambilini uDonald Trump (uDonald J. Trump) okwaholela ekuwohlokeni, uhulumeni kaTrump waqala wabeka intela. UMnu. Biden ukubeke kwacaca ukuthi ufuna ukulungisa ubudlelwano ne-European Union, kodwa lesi sivumelwano sibonakala futhi senzelwe ngokucophelela ukugwema ukuqhelelana nezinyunyana zase-US kanye nabakhiqizi abasekela uMnu. Biden.
Ishiye izinyathelo ezithile zokuvikela izimboni zensimbi ne-aluminium zaseMelika, futhi iguqule amanani amanje angu-25% ensimbi yaseYurophu kanye namanani angu-10% e-aluminium abe yi-quota ebizwa ngokuthi i-tariff. Leli lungiselelo lingahlangabezana namazinga aphezulu entengo yokungenisa impahla. Amanani aphezulu.
Lesi sivumelwano sizoqeda intela yokuziphindiselela ye-EU emikhiqizweni yaseMelika okuhlanganisa ijusi lewolintshi, i-bourbon kanye nezithuthuthu. Sizogwema futhi ukufaka intela eyengeziwe emikhiqizweni yase-US ehlelelwe ukusebenza ngoDisemba 1.
UNobhala Wezohwebo uGina Raimondo (uGina Raimondo) uthe: “Silindele ngokugcwele ukuthi njengoba sinyusa amanani entengo ngo-25% futhi sandisa ivolumu, lesi sivumelwano sizonciphisa umthwalo ochungechungeni lokuhlinzeka futhi sinciphise ukwenyuka kwezindleko.”
Esithangamini nabezindaba, uNkk. Raimundo uthe lokhu kuthengiselana kuvumela i-United States kanye ne-European Union ukuthi basungule uhlaka lokucabangela amandla ekhabhoni lapho bekhiqiza insimbi ne-aluminium, okungabavumela ukuthi benze imikhiqizo ehlanzekile kune-European Union. Kwenziwe eShayina.
“Ukuntuleka kweShayina kwezindinganiso zemvelo kuyingxenye yesizathu sokunciphisa izindleko, kodwa futhi kuyimbangela enkulu yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu,” kusho uNkk. Raimundo.
Ngemva kokuba uhulumeni kaTrump enqume ukuthi izinsimbi zakwamanye amazwe ziwusongo lokuphepha kwezwe, wabeka intela emazweni amaningi, okuhlanganisa namazwe e-EU.
UMnu. Biden uthembise ukusebenzisana eduze neYurophu. Uchaze iYurophu njengomlingani ekubhekaneni nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu kanye nokuncintisana nezomnotho ezibusayo njengeShayina. Kodwa ubelokhu ecindezelwa abakhiqizi bensimbi baseMelika kanye nezinyunyana ukuba bamcele ukuthi angasusi ngokuphelele izithiyo zokuhweba, okusiza ukuvikela izimboni zasekhaya ebuningini bezinsimbi zakwamanye amazwe ezishibhile.
Lokhu kuthengiselana kuphawula isinyathelo sokugcina sikahulumeni kaBiden sokuqeda impi kaTrump yokuhweba ngaphesheya kwe-Atlantic. NgoJuni, izikhulu zase-US nezaseYurophu zamemezela ukuphela kwengxabano yeminyaka engu-17 mayelana nezimali zoxhaso phakathi kwe-Airbus ne-Boeing. Ekupheleni kukaSepthemba, i-United States ne-Europe zamemezela ukusungulwa kobambiswano olusha lwezohwebo nobuchwepheshe futhi zafinyelela esivumelwaneni ngentela encane yomhlaba wonke ekuqaleni kwale nyanga.
Ngokusho kwabantu abajwayelene nalolu daba, ngaphansi kwemigomo emisha, i-EU izovunyelwa ukuthumela ngaphandle amathani ayizigidi ezingu-3.3 ensimbi e-United States ngaphandle kwentela minyaka yonke, futhi noma yiliphi inani elidlula leli nani lizokhokhiswa intela engu-25%. Imikhiqizo ekhululiwe entengweni kulo nyaka nayo izokhokhiswa intela okwesikhashana.
Lesi sivumelwano sizophinde sivimbele imikhiqizo eqediwe eYurophu kodwa esebenzisa insimbi evela eShayina, eRussia, eNingizimu Korea nakwamanye amazwe. Ukuze ifanelekele ukwelashwa ngaphandle kwentela, imikhiqizo yensimbi kumele yenziwe ngokuphelele e-European Union.
UJack Sullivan, umeluleki wezokuphepha kuzwelonke kamongameli, uthe lesi sivumelwano sisuse "esinye sezikhuthazo ezinkulu kakhulu ebudlelwaneni be-US-EU."
Izinyunyana zensimbi e-United States zincome lesi sivumelwano, zithi lesi sivumelwano sizokhawulela ukuthunyelwa kwempahla kwamanye amazwe eYurophu emazingeni aphansi ngokomlando. I-United States ingenise amathani ayizigidi ezingu-4.8 ensimbi yaseYurophu ngo-2018, okwehle kwaya kumathani ayizigidi ezingu-3.9 ngo-2019 kanye namathani ayizigidi ezingu-2.5 ngo-2020.
Esitatimendeni, uThomas M. Conway, uMongameli we-United Steelworkers International, uthe leli lungiselelo “lizoqinisekisa ukuthi izimboni zasekhaya e-United States zihlala zincintisana futhi zingahlangabezana nezidingo zethu zokuphepha nengqalasizinda.”
UMark Duffy, isikhulu esiphezulu se-American Primary Aluminium Association, uthe lokhu kuthengiselana “kuzogcina ukusebenza kahle kwezindleko zikaMnu. Trump” futhi “ngasikhathi sinye kuzosivumela ukuthi sisekele ukutshalwa kwezimali okuqhubekayo embonini ye-aluminium eyinhloko yase-US futhi sakhe imisebenzi eminingi e-Alcoa.”
Uthe leli lungiselelo lizosekela imboni ye-aluminium yaseMelika ngokukhawulela ukungeniswa kwezimpahla ezingenayo intela emazingeni aphansi ngokomlando.
Amanye amazwe asadinga ukukhokha intela noma izabelo zase-US, okuhlanganisa i-United Kingdom, iJapan, kanye neNingizimu Korea. I-American Chamber of Commerce, ephikisana nentela yensimbi, ithe lesi sivumelwano asanele.
UMyron Brilliant, iphini likamongameli omkhulu we-US Chamber of Commerce, uthe lesi sivumelwano "sizohlinzeka impumuzo ethile kubakhiqizi base-US ababhekene namanani entengo yensimbi akhuphukayo kanye nokuntuleka kwayo, kodwa kudingeka isinyathelo esengeziwe."
“I-United States kufanele ilahle izinsolo ezingenasisekelo zokuthi izinsimbi ezingeniswa eBrithani, eJapane, eNingizimu Korea nakwamanye amazwe aseduze ziyingozi ekuphepheni kwezwe lethu—futhi zinciphise intela kanye nezilinganiso ngesikhathi esisodwa,” kusho yena.
