美墨两国贸易争执 加剧水泥短缺
美国商业部门发言人说,他们将继续讨论解决有关美国和墨西哥之间的贸易问题,但他们无权暂停税收。据住宅建筑协会了解,一艘水泥货船从亚洲运到美国需44天,而从墨西哥过来仅需4天,但每吨57美金的反倾销税使从墨西哥进口变得不现实。
水泥是混凝土的主要成分,在基础建设,公路,桥梁建设中都要用到。佛罗里达南部的建筑承包商两个月前就开始抱怨,水泥短缺使他们要等几天甚至几个星期才能得到预定的混凝土。
据报道,美国已有23个洲出现水泥短缺,尤其在佛罗里达及东海岸地区水泥短缺为严重。另外在生产使用世界水泥40%的中国,建筑行业发展迅速,这使得运货到美国的船只减少许多。

U.S. builders ask for help in cement shortage
The nation's builders are urging the United States government to eliminate obstacles to importing cement from Mexico to help alleviate a shortage that has delayed home building and other construction projects.
The National Association of Home Builders in Washington asked the Commerce Department last week to suspend anti-dumping taxes imposed on Mexican cement imports.
"U.S. consumers of cement need a reliable, efficient source of supply for that portion of the U.S. market that must be met by imports," association Chief Executive Jerry Howard said in a statement. "Mexico can meet much of that demand if allowed to do so."
The Commerce Department will continue to hold discussions aimed at resolving the trade dispute between the U.S. and Mexico, but it does not have the authority to suspend the tax, spokeswoman Mary Brown Brewer said Tuesday.
A cement shipment from Asia takes about 44 days to arrive at a U.S. port, according to the home builders' association. A shipment from Mexico takes only four days, but anti-dumping taxes of $57 a ton make this option impractical.
Cement is the powder used to make concrete, which is used in foundations, driveways and sidewalks.
Builders and contractors in South Florida began complaining of cement shortages two months ago, with some having to wait days or weeks for deliveries of concrete.
A report issued by the Portland Cement Association shows shortages in 23 states, but the problem is particularly troublesome in Florida and along the East Coast.
A building boom in China, which produces and uses more than 40 percent of the world's cement, has resulted in a shortfall of ships to carry supplies to the U.S.
