密歇根州共和党参议员候选人迈克·罗杰斯在周三发布的一则新竞选广告中呼吁结束与加拿大的“关税战”,这再次与特朗普政府分道扬镳,而距离中期选举仅剩数周。

Michigan Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers called for an end to the “tariff war” with Canada in a new campaign released Wednesday, another break from the Trump administration weeks before the midterm elections.

罗杰斯的广告发布之际,全国各地的共和党竞选团体已进入“分诊模式”,试图在不利的政治环境中挽救共和党对国会的控制权。

Rogers’ ad comes as Republican campaign groups across the country have entered triage mode in an effort to salvage GOP control in an unfavorable political environment.

罗杰斯在广告中表示:“在密歇根州,我们知道加拿大不是我们的敌人。我们需要立即结束这场关税战。”该广告是其竞选团队与国家共和党参议员委员会协调支出的一部分。

“Here in Michigan, we know that Canada is not our enemy. We need to end this tariff war now,” Rogers said in the , which is part of a coordinated spend between his campaign at the National Republican Senatorial Committee. He added, “as Michigan’s senator, I’ll bring both parties together to lower your prices.”

他补充道:“作为密歇根州的参议员,我将团结两党以降低物价。”据密歇根州商会称,密歇根州每年与加拿大的贸易额约为800亿美元。

Each year, Michigan does roughly $80 billion in trade with Canada, according to the Michigan Chamber of Commerce. The new video comes weeks after he put out another breaking with President Donald Trump, publicly calling for the war with Iran to end “quickly.”

这则新视频发布几周前,他曾发布另一则与唐纳德·特朗普总统决裂的广告,公开呼吁“迅速”结束与伊朗的战争。在两则广告中,罗杰斯都表示物价过高,且均未提及总统姓名。最新广告标志着他在对加拿大贸易立场上发生了转变。

In both commercials, Rogers said that prices are too high and neither mentioned the president by name. The latest ad is a shift from his previous positioning on trade with Canada. Last month, Rogers said that some of the tariffs imposed on Canadian goods are needed, as the state’s manufacturing sector has been gutted by cheap foreign imports in the past.

上个月,罗杰斯曾表示,对加拿大商品征收的部分关税是必要的,因为该州的制造业部门过去曾受到廉价外国进口的严重冲击。

“President Trump is right to put America first — and tariffs are necessary, but are not a one-size-fits-all solution,” Rogers previously said in a press release.

罗杰斯此前在一份新闻稿中表示:“特朗普总统将美国放在首位是正确的——关税是必要的,但并非放之四海而皆准的解决方案。”但他同时也表示,他有能力结束威胁密歇根州的贸易战。

But, he also said he has the pull to end the trade war threatening Michigan. During a press conference in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump downplayed the suggestion that Rogers was breaking with him.

周三在椭圆形办公室举行的新闻发布会上,特朗普淡化了罗杰斯与他决裂的说法。

"I viewed him as saying that he thinks Canada should make a deal," Trump said.

特朗普说:“我认为他是说加拿大应该达成协议。加拿大多年来一直在占我们国家的便宜。”罗杰斯和民主党候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德的竞选团队未立即回应置评请求。

"Canada has been ripping off our country for many, many years." Rogers’ and Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s campaigns did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
