Neither the European Union nor Japan can be counted upon to do anything more than allow themselves to be dragged kicking and screaming into trade liberalization agreements. Without aggressive US leadership - which means a US executive and congress that believe in free trade - trade liberalization simply will not happen, and there will be more "emergency" tariffs, "extraordinary" quotas and "voluntary" export restraints.
决不能指望欧盟和日本能够心甘情愿、毫不抗拒地签署任何贸易自由化协议。没有美国的积极领导-即没有崇信自由贸易的政府和国会-贸易自由化就不会实现，并且会出现更多的"紧急"关税，"特别"配额和"主动"出口限制。
