Nobel Winner Criticizes Trump’s Tariff Policy as “Student Nonsense”
On April 3, 2025, Trump announced a 10% extra tariff on global goods. This move caused strong criticism. Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman called the policy rough and careless. He said it ignores service trade data and twists real trade facts. Krugman also criticized the U.S. Trade Representative’s statement, saying it is “like a student writing nonsense on a test” and even worse than AI-generated content. He believes Trump’s action is not for real economic goals but to show power and scare people.

第四則：蘋果iPhone售價恐因關稅衝擊飆漲
2025年4月3日，美國總統川普宣布對中國進口商品課徵54%關稅，可能導致iPhone售價大幅上漲。專家預估，iPhone 16售價或從799美元漲至1142美元，漲幅高達43%。由於銷售疲軟與AI功能吸引力不足，蘋果面臨需求下降與關稅成本壓力，短期內調整空間有限。
