最新报道:The European Union is reportedly considering a "nuclear option" to counter potential trade disputes, particularly with the U.S., by leveraging its dominant position in the global financial messaging system SWIFT. This drastic measure would involve restricting access to SWIFT for nations imposing trade sanctions on the EU, effectively cutting them off from international financial transactions. The proposal emerges amid escalating trade tensions, including U.S. threats to impose tariffs on European electric vehicles. While the EU has previously used SWIFT as a sanction tool against Russia, this move would mark a significant escalation in economic warfare tactics, potentially reshaping global trade dynamics.
