“一百万个美国就业机会的承诺”

Shortly after taking office, U.S. President Donald Trump met with Ma to discuss ways in which Alibaba could help create jobs in America via sales to the booming Chinese consumer market. They agreed that by allowing Americans to make use of Alibaba's Tmall platform, it would bring a million new jobs in the U.S. over the next five years thanks to cross border e-commerce sales to China.
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在入主白宫后不久就曾与马云进行洽谈，商谈阿里巴巴集团如何能够帮助美国打开日益兴盛的中国消费市场，借此为美国创造就业机会。双方达成协议，允许美国商家利用阿里巴巴的天猫购物平台，利用这一通向中国的跨国际电商纽带，在未来五年里为美国创造一百万个新就业机会。
