华盛顿，10月8日——美国贸易代表贾米森·格里尔周四表示，美国在与加拿大的贸易谈判中坚持自身立场。他指出，魁北克省近期举行的选举令加拿大政府分身乏术。
WASHINGTON, Oct 8 - US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on Thursday the US is sticking to its stance in trade talks with Canada, saying a recent election in Quebec province is preoccupying Ottawa.
格里尔在接受CNBC采访时说道：‘我们与加拿大方面保持着频繁沟通，包括高层对话。目前各方都在观察事态发展。魁北克刚刚举行选举，这令他们有些分心。我认为我们正坚定地与加拿大方面保持沟通。’他还补充道：‘一旦加拿大方面准备达成协议，我们随时愿意展开谈判。’
"We speak with our Canadian counterparts frequently, including at the highest levels. I think right now people are seeing where things land," Greer said in an interview with CNBC. "They have an election up there. ... They have a little bit of preoccupation up there. I'd say. I think we're we're holding fast with the Canadians." "When the Canadians want to get to yes, obviously we'll be there ready to talk," Greer said.
