特朗普总统周一表示，在华盛顿与其历史上关系友好的北方邻国之间的紧张局势加剧之际，加拿大是“全世界最糟糕的国家之一”。他说：“问题在于，他们对美国非常不公平。他们一直是全世界最糟糕的国家之一。
你知道，我们和中国相处得来，和人们也能友好相处，还能谈成好买卖，”总统周一在椭圆形办公室说，“但加拿大实际上真的非常难以打交道。
President Trump said Monday that Canada is “one of the worst countries in the entire world” in the wake of heightened tensions between Washington and its historically friendly northern neighbor. “The problem is, that they've treated the United States very unfairly. They have been one of the worst countries in the entire world. You know, we get along with China, we get along with people and we make good deals,” the president said in the Oval Office on Monday.
他们向我们的农民征收400%甚至更高的关税，还占我们的便宜。”他补充说。
“But Canada has been really very difficult to deal with, actually. They've charged our farmers 400 percent tariffs and more. And they take advantage of us,” he added.
周二，特朗普针对近10亿美元加拿大商品实施的禁令生效，成为华盛顿与渥太华贸易战中的又一轮打击。禁令涉及加拿大乳制品、机动车和多种酒类商品。
On Tuesday, Trump’s ban on close to $1 billion in Canadian goods went into effect, another strike in a trade war between Washington and Ottawa. It covers Canadian dairy products, motor vehicles and numerous alcoholic beverages.
在签发禁止进口这些商品的行政命令时，特朗普称美国的同类产品遭到了“歧视”。
Whileg the executive orders to ban the goods, Trump cited “discrimination” against American equivalents.
特朗普第二任期以来，美加之间一直存在非同寻常的敌意，不仅是因为贸易争端，也与总统推动吞并美国北方邻国的企图有关。
There has been an atypical animosity between the U.S. and Canada throughout Trump’s second term, not just over trade, but also over the president’s push to acquire the U.S.’s northern neighbor.
8月华盛顿与渥太华的贸易谈判破裂后，两国关系降至临界点，双方随后相互对对方的商品加征关税。
本月初，卡尼表示，加拿大过度依赖与美国之间“轻松”的经济联系。
The relationship reached a breaking point after trade negotiations between Washington and Ottawa fell apart in August, and the two countries slapped tariffs on each others’ goods.
卡尼在9月初发布的一段 YouTube 视频中说：“过去40年是与美国深化经济融合的时期。
事实是，当时做生意很容易，但这也意味着我们过度依赖了一个经济伙伴。显然，那个时代已经结束了。”
Earlier this month, Carney said his country had an overreliance on “easy” economic links to the U.S. “The past 40 years has been a period of deeper economic integration with the United States. Truth is, it was easy business, but it meant we relied too much on one economic partner. It’s clear that time is over,” Carney said in a video posted to YouTube in early September.
