名嘴庫德洛將出任特朗普首席經(jīng)濟顧問

Larry Kudlow, a free trade advocate and tax cutter who relishes the media spotlight, is to be appointed by President Donald Trump as his new chief economic adviser.

唐納德•特朗普(Donald Trump)總統(tǒng)將任命倡導(dǎo)自由貿(mào)易和減稅且享受媒體關(guān)注的拉里•庫德洛(Larry Kudlow)為新任首席經(jīng)濟顧問。

Mr Kudlow, a CNBC commentator and long-time associate of Mr Trump, told the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday he had accepted the job as head of the White House National Economic Council.

庫德洛是財經(jīng)頻道CNBC的評論員，也是特朗普的老相識，他在周三對《華爾街日報》(Wall Street Journal)表示，已接受出任白宮國家經(jīng)濟委員會(National Economic Council)主席之職。

 

e will replace Gary Cohn, the former Goldman Sachs president, who is stepping down after clashing with the president over his decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminium imports.

他將接替前高盛(Goldman Sachs)總裁加里•科恩(Gary Cohn)，后者因不滿總統(tǒng)對進口鋼鐵和鋁征收關(guān)稅的決定而辭職。

Mr Kudlow’s appointment will bring to the White House a former Wall Street economist-turned-talking head who has views that align with the president’s in some areas and clash in others.

任命庫德洛將給白宮帶來一位華爾街經(jīng)濟學(xué)家出身的電視名嘴，他的觀點在某些領(lǐng)域與總統(tǒng)一致，而在其他一些領(lǐng)域有抵觸。

He is a supporter of free trade who has been critical of Mr Trump’s approach to tariffs, but he has backed the president on deregulation and tax cuts.

他是自由貿(mào)易的支持者，曾批評過特朗普的關(guān)稅政策，但他在放松管制和減稅方面力挺總統(tǒng)。

Once a member of President Ronald Reagan’s economic team, his support for aggressive supply side tax-cutting is longstanding.

庫德洛曾是羅納德•里根(Ronald Reagan)總統(tǒng)經(jīng)濟團隊的成員，他長期支持激進的供給側(cè)減稅。

Recounting a conversation with Mr Trump, Mr Kudlow told the Wall Street Journal: “He said to me several times, ‘I believe in global trade. I regard myself as a global trader, but it has to be fair trade to protect America’.”

庫德洛向《華爾街日報》回憶了他與特朗普的對話：“他曾多次對我說，‘我信奉全球貿(mào)易。我認為自己是一名全球貿(mào)易者，但只有公平貿(mào)易才能保護美國’。”

Mr Kudlow said he agreed with the sentiment. “I personally hope widespread tariff use — it doesn’t come to that. But in some cases, it will.”

庫德洛表示，他認同這種情緒。“我個人希望，廣泛運用關(guān)稅——不必走到那一步。但在某些情況下，會有這種做法。”

A White House spokeswoman said there were “no personnel announcements at this time”.

白宮發(fā)言人表示，“目前沒有人事公告”。

Mr Kudlow grew up in suburban New Jersey in a family that owned a textile business. He went on to become chief economist at the Wall Street firms Paine Webber and Bear Stearns.

庫德洛在新澤西郊區(qū)長大，當年家里擁有一家紡織廠。他擔(dān)任過華爾街公司普惠(Paine Webber)和貝爾斯登(Bear Stearns)的首席經(jīng)濟學(xué)家。
