美国总统谴责加拿大领导人,称加拿大“利用了美国”唐纳德·特朗普与美国加拿大之间的口水战在周三继续升级。他在美国举行的“西班牙裔传统月”纪念活动上突然偏离了事先准备好的演讲稿,严厉批评加拿大领导人,称他们的行为“极其恶劣”。在白宫发表讲话时,特朗普表示,在自己上任之前,美国的管理方式“极其愚蠢”——因为前任领导人允许汽车制造商将生产工厂迁往海外,其中包括加拿大。
U.S. President chastises Canadian leaders, says Canada has 'taken advantage' of U.S. U.S. President Donald Trump's war of words with Canada continued Wednesday as he veered off a prepared script at an event marking Hispanic Heritage Month in the States to chastise Canadian leaders for being what he called "very bad." Speaking at the White House, Trump said the U.S. was "stupidly run" before he got the job because past leaders allowed automakers to move assembly plants offshore, including to Canada. Canada has had a large-scale domestic auto manufacturing industry since 1904, developing at roughly the same time as the one in the U.S. Still, Trump said past presidents "allowed other countries to make our cars and sell them to us," and he is ending that now with his high-tariff regime.
自1904年以来,加拿大就拥有规模庞大的汽车制造业,其发展速度与美国大致相当。然而特朗普指出,前任总统们“允许其他国家生产汽车并销往美国”,而他现在通过实施高关税政策来改变这一状况。特朗普政府多次明确表示,他们旨在削弱加拿大的汽车产业。
The Trump administration has repeatedly made it clear that it wants to hollow out Canada's auto industry. "Canada has taken advantage of us for so many years. The worst of any country," Trump said. "I love the Canadian people, but the leaders have taken advantage of our stupid leadership for many, many years. They felt emboldened. … They act like they're totally innocent. They're not.
“加拿大多年来一直在利用我们……他们是所有国家中最恶劣的。”特朗普说。
They were very bad. But now they're being taught a little lesson."
“我爱加拿大人民,但那些领导人多年来一直在利用我们愚蠢的领导层。他们变得肆无忌惮……他们表现得好像自己完全无辜一样,但实际上他们非常恶劣。现在他们终于得到了应有的教训。”
Trump signs order to rename Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' 'Lake America' change highlights Canada's reliance on U.S. tech One of those "lessons," as the president described it, was his unilateral move to rename Lake Ontario in the U.S.
特朗普签署命令,将安大略湖更名为“美国湖”特朗普的这一举动被视为他对加拿大的“惩罚”。正如他所说,这一举措凸显了加拿大对美国技术的依赖。特朗普还提到,他将墨西哥湾更名为“美国湾”的举动同样具有象征意义。在面向主要是西班牙裔听众的讲话中,他表示将墨西哥湾更名为“美国湾”的决定“更加大胆”;不过他也承认:“房间里可能有些人不会喜欢这个决定。”
Addressing a largely Hispanic audience, Trump said his move to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America was "even cooler." "There could be a few people in the room that don't love that one," he said. Import ban in effect Trump's comments come a day after he imposed an import ban on a list of Canadian products ranging from molasses and motorcycles to dairy products and alcohol. The ban on Canadian beer, wine and spirits could be the most devastating; Canada exported about $1.2 billion worth last year, according to Statistics Canada data.
进口禁令正式生效特朗普的言论发布一天后,他正式宣布对一系列加拿大产品实施进口禁令,这些产品包括糖蜜、摩托车、乳制品和酒精饮料等。
对加拿大啤酒、葡萄酒和烈酒的进口禁令可能是最具破坏性的措施;根据加拿大统计局的数据,加拿大去年从这些产品的出口中获得了约12亿美元的收入。
In an interview with Fox Business, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the administration is irked by Canadian liquor restrictions and limits on American businesses competing for provincial procurement contracts — restrictions enacted only after Trump slapped tariffs on Canadian goods last year.
在美国福克斯商业频道(Fox Business)的采访中,美国贸易代表杰米森·格里尔(Jamieson Greer)表示,美国政府对加拿大的相关限制措施感到非常不满,尤其是那些限制美国企业参与省级采购合同的条款——这些限制措施是在特朗普去年对加拿大商品征收关税之后才实施的。
Trump's top trade envoy says U.S. 'comfortable' with state of relationship with Canada U.S. bans on imported Canadian motorcycle, dairy, alcohol products take effect as trade war drags on Greer said the import ban is retribution for those actions. "We gave them a lot of leeway," Greer said.
特朗普的首席贸易顾问彼得·纳瓦罗(Peter Navarro)在周三接受前特朗普竞选经理史蒂夫·班农(Steve Bannon)的播客采访时,对加拿大进行了严厉批评。他称加拿大总理马克·卡尼(Mark Carney)及其他加拿大领导人“极其傲慢”,并指责一些未具名的加拿大游说者试图通过联系华盛顿的美国政府官员来迫使美国屈服于加拿大的要求。
"But at a certain point we said, 'That's enough, you need to take that off, and if you don't, we'll just match it.' So we've matched some of the bans." Peter Navarro, one of Trump's top trade advisers, teed off on Canada on Wednesday during an appearance on ex-Trump campaign manager Steve Bannon's podcast. Navarro said Prime Minister Mark Carney and other Canadian leaders are "frigging arrogant."
纳瓦罗还表示:“我们给了他们很多机会,但到了某个临界点后,我们决定:‘够了,你们必须取消这些限制;否则我们也会采取相应的报复措施。’因此,我们才对加拿大实施了相应的进口禁令。”
He accused unnamed Canadian lobbyists of calling U.S. elected officials in Washington "more than MAGA people do" to make them bend to Canada's will. "They screw us, they've been screwing us for decades," Navarro said of Canada.
当被问及纳瓦罗的这些激烈言论时,卡尼表示没有评论,但他重申相信未来有可能与美国达成“互惠互利的贸易协议”。卡尼还表示:“加拿大随时准备本着诚意进行谈判。”
Asked about Navarro's pointed attacks this week, Carney said he had no comment but reiterated that he thinks it's possible to negotiate a "mutually advantageous trade arrangement" with the U.S. at some point in the future. "Canada stands ready to negotiate in good faith," Carney said.
格里尔本人也表示,美国愿意与加拿大继续谈判;但他同时补充说:“目前我们对现有的贸易状况感到相当满意。”事实上,特朗普政府声称加拿大一直在“利用”美国的说法并不符合事实。
Greer himself said the U.S. door is "always open" to a possible deal with Canada. But, he added, "we're pretty comfortable with where we are." Canada-U.S. trade picture The Trump administration's claims that Canada has been taking "advantage" of the U.S. are not borne out by the facts.
美国贸易逆差相对温和,很大程度上是因为它以低于世界价格的折扣价大量购买阿尔伯塔省的石油。美国中西部的一些炼油厂几乎完全依赖加拿大的供应。美国对加拿大在服务贸易上一直保持顺差。
The U.S. runs a relatively modest trade deficit largely because it buys large volumes of Alberta oil at a discount to world prices. Some U.S. Midwest refineries are almost entirely dependent on that Canadian supply. The U.S. consistently runs a trade surplus in services with Canada.
尽管特朗普抱怨美国农民面临所谓“高得离谱的关税”——他周三再次重复了这一说法——但绝大多数美国农产品进入加拿大是免关税的。
Despite Trump's gripes about supposedly "ridiculously high tariffs" on U.S. farmers — a claim he repeated again Wednesday — the vast majority of U.S. agricultural products trade into Canada tariff-free.
根据世界贸易组织的数据,这些农产品中有96.7%是免税进入加拿大的。特朗普自己领导的农业部数据显示,加拿大一半的农产品进口来自美国。
According to World Trade Organization figures, 96.7 per cent of those farm products come into Canada duty-free. Trump's own agriculture department data shows half of Canada's agricultural imports come from the U.S.
虽然部分乳制品面临高关税,但只有在出口超过一定配额时才适用。正如美国乳制品游说团体自己承认的那样,美国从未接近超过这些限额。
While high tariffs are in place for some dairy products, those only apply if exports exceed a certain quota. As the U.S. dairy lobby itself concedes, the U.S. has never gotten close to exceeding those limits.
