华盛顿,3月26日(路透社) – 两名美国参议员(一名民主党人、一名共和党人)周四敦促美国商务部对墨西哥制造的重型建筑和农业设备进口展开国家安全调查,涉及迪尔公司(DE.N)、卡特彼勒公司(CAT.N)和CNH工业公司(CNH.N)等企业。

威斯康星州民主党参议员塔米·鲍德温与俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺共同发起此次呼吁。此举正值特朗普政府准备于7月对《美墨加协定》(USMCA)进行定期审查之际。

在致美国商务部部长霍华德·卢特尼克的信函中,两名参议员要求依据《1962年贸易扩张法案》第232条启动调查——特朗普政府此前曾用该条款对钢铁、汽车及其他商品加征关税。

  • 他们呼吁修改《美墨加协定》,称重型设备进口免税政策促使生产商将产能转移至墨西哥。
  • 鲍德温指出,2024年CNH工业公司将生产转移至墨西哥期间,在威斯康星州拉辛市裁员222人。
  • CNH工业公司、迪尔公司、卡特彼勒公司及美国商务部未立即回应置评请求。

  • 鲍德温与莫雷诺敦促调查覆盖农业机械、建筑和采矿设备、林业设备、重型机械、零部件及衍生品。
  • 特朗普政府已对铜、钢、铝、汽车、汽车零部件、木材、家具和卡车加征232关税,并正在调查制药等其他行业。其试图通过232条款和《1974年贸易法》第301条,替代美国最高法院因其他法律推翻的关税措施。
  • 鲍德温批评特朗普的全面关税政策,但支持通过232条款等法律采取更具针对性的措施。
  • 两名参议员在信中写道:“这些企业不应被允许消灭美国就业岗位,向墨西哥工人支付贫困工资,再将产品运回美国,以牺牲我们社区为代价获取额外利润。”

WASHINGTON, March 26 (Reuters) – Two U.S. senators, a Democrat and a Republican, urged the Commerce Department on Thursday to launch a national security investigation ​into the import of heavy construction and farm equipment made in Mexico ‌by companies such as Deere & Co (DE.N), opens new tab, Caterpillar (CAT.N), opens new tab and CNH Industrial (CNH.N), opens new tab.

The push by Senator Tammy Baldwin, a Wisconsin Democrat, and Senator Bernie Moreno, an Ohio Republican, comes as the Trump ​administration prepares for a scheduled review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ​in July.

The two senators, in a letter to Commerce Secretary Howard ⁠Lutnick seen by Reuters, called for a probe under Section 232 of ​the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which the Trump administration has used for tariffs ​on steel, autos and other goods.

• They called for changes to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, saying duty-free treatment of heavy equipment imports had incentivized producers to move production to Mexico.

• ​CNH laid off 222 workers in Racine, Wisconsin, in 2024 while moving ​production to Mexico, Baldwin said.

• CNH, Deere, Caterpillar and the Commerce Department were not immediately ‌available ⁠for comment.

• Baldwin and Moreno urged the probe to cover agricultural implements, construction and mining equipment, forestry equipment, heavy machinery, parts and derivatives.

• U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has imposed 232 tariffs on copper, steel, aluminum, autos, auto ​parts, timber, furniture and ​trucks, and ⁠is investigating other sectors, such as pharmaceuticals. It is seeking to replace tariffs scuttled by the U.S. Supreme Court under a ​different law by using the 232 statute and Section ​301 of ⁠the Trade Act of 1974.

• Baldwin has been critical of Trump’s sweeping tariffs but backs a more targeted approach through statutes like Section 232.

• “These companies should not ⁠be ​allowed to eliminate American jobs, pay Mexican workers ​poverty wages and then ship products back to the U.S. for additional profit on the backs ​of our communities,” the senators wrote.
