While the allegations surrounding President Donald Trump’s shadowy ties to Russia are unsettling, as of yet, no smoking gun has been found. But on at least one issue, Mr Trump and Vladimir Putin, his Russian counterpart, are of a similar mind. 尽管围绕美国总统唐纳德?特朗普(Donald Trump)与俄罗斯存在神秘关系的指控令人不安，但到目前为止还没有发现支持这种说法的确凿证据。不过，特朗普和俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔?普京(Vladimir Putin)至少在一个问题上想法一致。 When it comes to trade, Mr Trump’s approach is very much in line with the practice of Mr Putin’s Russia over the past 17 years. Always willing to use trade as a cudgel or a tool for geopolitical gains, both presidents seem to enthusiastically subordinate economic gains to political ends. 在贸易方面，特朗普的立场与普京领导的俄罗斯在过去17年中的做法非常一致。二人总是愿意用贸易作为获取地缘政治好处的棍棒或工具，似乎热衷于让经济利益从属于政治目的。 |
