International trade has been an engine of growth for the world economy. But that engine is now sputtering. A good part of the explanation for this is failure — failure to understand the benefits of trade, failure to share its gains, failure to help those adversely affected, failure to update the global rules, and failure to sustain essential co-operation. Donald Trump’s administration made all this worse. Joe Biden’s should now strive to rectify these failures.
國際貿(mào)易一直是世界經(jīng)濟(jì)增長的引擎。但這一引擎如今正噼啪作響,似要熄火。這很大程度上可以歸咎于各種失靈——未能理解貿(mào)易的好處,未能分享其帶來的收益,未能幫助那些受到不利影響的群體,未能更新全球規(guī)則,以及未能維持必要的合作。唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)政府讓這一切變得更糟。喬?拜登(Joe Biden)政府現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該努力糾正這些失靈。
