“The United States was more than just a nation. It's a brand, it's a universal brand, whether it's our culture, our financial strength, our military strength, America rose beyond just being a country — it was like an aspiration for most of the world, and we're eroding that brand right now.”
— Ken Griffin, the C.E.O. of Citadel, speaking yesterday at Semafor's World Economy Summit in Washington. He added: “I'll tell you what's not going to happen is people are not going to race to build manufacturing in America, because with the policy volatility, you actually undermine the very goal you're trying to achieve.”
“美國不僅僅是一個國家。它是一個品牌，是一個全球性的品牌，無論是我們的文化、我們的金融實力、還是我們的軍事力量，美國已經超越了一個國家的範疇——它成為了世界大多數人心中的一種向往，而我們現在正在蠶食這個品牌。”
