In an interview with ABC’s “This Week,” the senator said that while
she was open to a broad discussion on ways to prevent gun violence in the
wake of December’s tragic shooting in Newtown, Conn., she doubted that the

输美产品加征10%的关税，并威胁若两国无法达成协议，将从明年起把关税税率提高到
25%。针对特朗普升级关税大战的措施，美国政界和学界发出越来越多质疑和反对的声

针对2000亿美元产品的新增关税，反对之声首先来自美国政界。特朗普发布声明的
当天，国会民主党参议员海迪•海特坎普（Sen.Heidi Heitkamp）就在推特直言
