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(kù)德洛向《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》回憶了他與特朗普的對(duì)話：“他曾多次對(duì)我說(shuō)，‘我信奉全球貿(mào)易。我認(rèn)為自己是一名全球貿(mào)易者，但只有公平貿(mào)易才能保護(hù)美國(guó)’。”

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(kù)德洛表示，他認(rèn)同這種情緒。“我個(gè)人希望，廣泛運(yùn)用關(guān)稅——不必走到那一步。但在某些情況下，會(huì)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(méi)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.
