The need to wrestle with macroeconomic-policy issues could easily cause talks to bog down – and give protectionist lobbies the political ammunition they need. That is why the Trade Representative is wisely trying not to add macroeconomic policy into the bargaining, despite demands from powerful voices in the US Congress.
贸易谈判很难谈成。与宏观政策问题角力的需要可以轻易地导致谈崩——并给保护主义游说集团以需要的政治口实。因此，美国贸易代表正在明智地试图不把宏观经济政策加入到讨价还价内容中，尽管美国国会的权势人物提出了这方面的要求。
