川普推動蘋果回美製造路難行 法經挑戰依然嚴峻
Newtalk新聞 專家表示，美國總統川普試圖將蘋果iPhone帶回美國製造的計畫，面臨許多法律與經濟挑戰，而最輕微的挑戰是必須自動化完成的「小螺絲」裝配工序。 路透社報導，川普昨天揚言，凡是在美國銷售卻不是在美國本土製造的iPhone，可能被課徵25%關稅，這是政府致力於讓就業機會回到美國的政策之一。 他稍晚又告訴記者，徵稅對象不只蘋果，還包括韓國三星等所有手機製造商，預計6月底公布實施。 美國商務部長盧特尼克（Howard Lutnick）上個月接受美國哥倫比亞廣播公司（CBS）訪問時表示，原本由「數以百萬計人力為iPhone鎖上極小螺絲」的生產流程將移至美國，並實施自動化，進而創造技工與電工等技術勞工的就業機會。 但他後來對CNBC說，蘋果執行長庫克（Tim Cook）告訴他，要實現這項計畫還缺乏現有技術。 盧特尼克說：「他（庫克）說，我需要有機械手臂，才能以一定的規模和精密度將生產帶回這裡。只要這項技術一到位，生產就會回來。」 貿易律師與學者表示，川普政府若要透過關稅向蘋果施壓，最快的方式就是動用先前針對大批進口商品課徵懲罰性關稅時所採用的同一法律依據。 這條法律稱為「國際緊急經濟權力法」（International Emergency Economic Powers Act），賦予總統在宣布緊急狀態後，針對對美國構成特殊且異常威脅的情況採取經濟行動。 華盛頓艾金‧崗波律師事務所（Akin Gump）合夥人賴英（Sally Stewart Laing）表示：「目前並無明確法律授權允許針對特定公司課徵關稅，但川普政府可能會試圖以緊急權力為由來合法化該行動。」 賴英表示，其他針對特定公司課徵關稅的方式，通常需經過漫長的調查過程。 賴英還指出，僅針對蘋果課徵關稅，「將使其他重要手機品牌取得競爭優勢，這樣反而損及川普促進製造業回流美國的政策目標」。延伸閱讀：才威脅對蘋果課25%關稅 川普：也包括三星等手機大廠、6月底實施川普再發關稅威脅嚇壞美股！道瓊驚跌256點 台積電ADR重挫逾2％日美第3輪關稅談判進展「坦率且深入」 日本力拚G7峰會前解決關稅爭議川普關稅亂流下 「這個股票指數」表現有韌性

請徐巧芯再喊「核廢料放我家ok」! 吳靜怡：妳憑什麼幫屏東人決定
Newtalk新聞 中選會23日宣告核三重啟公投案成案，將於8月23日投票，屏東縣長周春米質疑，沒有人想要核廢料放在自己的家園，核三重啟公投卻只針對屏東，位於新北的核一核二卻隻字不提。政治評論員吳靜怡表示，國民黨立委徐巧芯以前喊過「核廢料放我家ok」，如果現在不敢再喊，妳憑什麼幫屏東人做決定？ 吳靜怡發文寫道：「請徐巧芯大聲的再喊一次『核廢料放我家ok』！敢不敢？妳以前喊過，如果現在不敢再喊，妳憑什麼幫屏東人做決定？蔣萬安，你支持核廢料進台北市嗎？請明確表態！身為台北市民，我堅決反對將核廢料送進松山信義區，徐巧芯要為自己說過的話負責，罷免徐巧芯就是守護松信家園，每張『罷免同意票』就是保衛台北市不被核污染。」 吳靜怡提到：「新北市市長侯友宜自己都不願讓核廢料貯存在新北市，卻放任國民黨黨籍立委在媒體上鼓吹延役核三，這不只是矛盾，更是政治卸責。面對新北乾貯場卡關12年、核廢料無解的現況，卻口口聲聲要屏東人『接受核三延役』，這種做法根本是居高臨下的核能霸權思維」。 吳靜怡指出：「屏東人已經為核三廠忍受了40年，承擔核三廠的環境與安全風險，特別是在福島核災後，高雄、屏東的民眾對核電的安全性更加擔憂，終於看到核三廠要除役，偏偏出現這場核三公投，針對屏東，卻完全迴避北部的核一、核二是否延役。這不是能源政策，而是選擇性歧視與地區霸凌！就像是『欺負屏東人』。」 吳靜怡續指：「公投是公共政策的最後選擇，當立法委員躲在議場裡，用一張毫無邏輯配套的核三公投給人民決定，就是對民主制度的踐踏，沒有一位立委願意承擔核災風險，卻想主導決策，所以更應該『唯一支持罷免立委同意票』讓國會恢復正常，才不會有這麼爛的公投議題。 吳靜怡強調：「只有真正願意承擔的人，才有資格討論所謂的『能源選擇』，請問徐巧芯，敢不敢再喊一次『核廢料放我家ok』？如果不敢，憑啥和一群立法委員欺負屏東人？我們唯一的選擇，就是投下罷免同意票，讓北部立委不再用嘴巴指揮南部人用『命』來承擔！屏東的未來，應由屏東人決定。」延伸閱讀：快訊》中選會通過「核三重啟公投」審議 今年8/23投票幕後》11億 vs. 2000萬 一場全國性公投案比罷免「所有藍委」更燒錢藍白兩公投趕不上 反廢死、核電延役公投823投票 中選會指核三延役公投823舉行、反廢死不合規定 吳宗憲：踐踏民意
