加拿大负责加美贸易事务的关键人物表示，尽管美国选民在周二晚的中期选举中让民主党取得了重大胜利，但联邦政府的策略短期内不会改变。
Canada's point man on the Canada-U.S. trade file says the federal government's strategy isn't changing in the short term despite American voters handing a seismic win to Democrats in Tuesday night's midterm election.
虽然选举结果被广泛视为对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普及其经济政策的强烈否定，但加拿大-美国贸易部长多米尼克·勒布朗在周三上午于渥太华举行的党团会议前不愿置评。
While the results are widely seen as a strong repudiation of U.S. President Donald Trump and his economic policies Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc wouldn't weigh in ahead of a caucus meeting on Wednesday morning in Ottawa.
“对加拿大人来说，解读外国选举的结果并不是特别有建设性，”他说。“我们的工作是专注于我们能控制的事情，那就是与美国人选出的那些人合作。”勒布朗指出，贸易谈判是与特朗普及其内阁进行的。
"It's not particularly constructive for Canadians to interpret results in a foreign country's election," he said. "Our job is to focus on what we can control, and that's to work with the people that Americans have elected." LeBlanc noted the trade talks are conducted with Trump and his cabinet.
美国中期选举：JD·万斯将共和党的惨败归咎于伊朗战争。“他们今天仍在任。而这些就是我们将会进行那些对话的人，”他说。
U.S. midterms: JD Vance blames Iran war for Republicans' blowout loss "They remain in office today. And those are the people with whom we'll be having those conversations," he said.
加拿大一直在寻求与美国达成贸易协议，希望降低对加拿大商品的高额关税，包括汽车、钢铁、铝和软木等目标行业。
Canada has been seeking a trade deal with the U.S. in hopes of lowering steep tariffs on Canadian goods, including targeted sectors like autos, steel, aluminum and softwood.
“我们的重点没有改变，”勒布朗在民主党拿下美国国会后表示。2小时前 时长。对加方来说，一大问题是这位以反复无常著称的美国总统如何回应中期选举的惨败——这场惨败让民主党同时掌控了众议院和参议院——以及这是否会给总理马克·卡尼的政府带来更多筹码。
'Our focus hasn't changed,' LeBlanc says as Democrats take U.S. Congress 2 hours ago Duration One of the big questions for the Canadian side is how the infamously volatile U.S. president reacts to the midterm shellacking, one that delivered control of both the House and Senate to Democrats, and whether it gives Prime Minister Mark Carney's government more leverage.
特朗普已经在该问题上释放出一些动向，周二上午他对福克斯新闻表示，他接近达成协议。
Trump was already signalling some movement on the file, telling Fox News on Tuesday morning he was close to a deal.
卡尼没有说得那么远，但当天下午对记者表示，白宫在他所称的加拿大“红线”中的一些问题上已经改变了立场，包括语言要求以及加拿大与其他国家达成贸易协议的能力。
Carney didn't go quite as far but told reporters that afternoon that the White House has shifted its stance on some of what he called Canada's "red lines," including language requirements and Canada's ability to strike trade deals with other countries.
卡尼称美加贸易谈判“取得进展” 11月3日 “他们的要价降低了，给出的条件更多了，”总理表示，并补充说两位领导人将于本月晚些时候在中国会面。
'We've made progress' with U.S. on trade talks, Carney says November 3 "They're asking less and they're offering more," the prime minister said, adding the two leaders will meet in China later this month.
他表示，在协议签署之前仍有工作要做。预计汽车将是关键的症结所在，正如8月份谈判破裂前那样——当时谈判破裂引发双方互征新关税。
He said there is still work to be done before a deal is inked. Autos are expected to be a key sticking point, as they were in August before talks collapsed — triggering new tariffs on both sides.
特朗普仍握有否决权 国会由蓝色阵营掌控，并不一定意味着加拿大就能一帆风顺。
Trump still has his veto powers A blue Congress doesn't necessarily mean it's clear sailing for Canada.
新一批众议员和参议员要到明年1月才会宣誓就职，即便在那之后，特朗普仍能倚仗其行政权力。选举结果出炉后，他发布了一张红色MAGA风格帽子的图片，上面写着“VETO”（否决）。勒布朗表示，“新国会在两个月后就职后可能决定做什么，是一个有趣的讨论”，但这“不会改变我们未来两周必须做的工作”。
The new crop of representatives and senators won't be sworn in until January, and even after that Trump will still be able to lean on his executive authority. After the results came in he posted an image of a red MAGA-style hat with the word "VETO." LeBlanc said "what the new Congress might decide to do when they're seated two months from now is an interesting discussion," but that's "not going to change the work that we have to do in the next two weeks.
“美国国会将按照美国国会的利益行事。我们的工作将聚焦于我们在这里、在国内能做的事情，”他说。
"The American Congress will act in the interests of the American Congress. Our work will be focused on what we can do here at home," he said.
分析：共和党中期选举失利对特朗普、美国与加拿大意味着什么 卡尼称美国在“更激烈”的贸易谈判中“要价降低、条件更多” 保守党领袖皮埃尔·波利耶夫表示，卡尼及其政府有责任利用这一结果，与美国政府达成一项免关税贸易协议。“美国人讨厌这些关税，”他说。
Analysis What the Republican midterm defeat means for Trump, the U.S. and Canada Carney says U.S. 'asking less and offering more' with 'more intense' trade talks underway Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said it's on Carney and his government to leverage the results to land a tariff-free trade deal with the U.S. administration. "Americans hate these tariffs," he said.
“让我们利用这份善意向政府和国会施压，取消所有关税，降低美国人的生活成本，同时也为长期挣扎的加拿大人提振就业和商业。” 前大使敦促谨慎 加拿大前驻美大使柯尔斯滕·希尔曼告诫联邦政府不要做出任何突然改变。
"Let's leverage that goodwill to pressure the administration and Congress to remove all the tariffs, lower the cost of living for Americans but also boost jobs and business for long-struggling Canadians." Former ambo urging caution Canada's former ambassador to the U.S., Kirsten Hillman, cautioned the federal government against making any sudden changes.
希尔曼在加拿大广播公司新闻的大选之夜报道中说：“如果他们正在进行建设性的对话，朝着某种对加拿大可行的安排迈进，我们不希望他们停止。”
"If they're having constructive conversations that are heading towards some kind of arrangement that would work for Canada, we wouldn't want them to stop that," Hillman said during election night coverage on CBC News.
前保守党内阁部长詹姆斯·摩尔建议卡尼现在不应接受包含关税的协议。
Former Conservative cabinet minister James Moore suggested Carney shouldn't accept a deal with tariffs now. "Americans don't want tariffs.
他在X上发帖说：“美国人不想加关税。民调和选民的态度很明确。不要与一位已被否定、即将离任的总统达成协议，让美国人和加拿大人都反对的关税正常化。”“不要用一份接受关税的协议让加拿大处于经济劣势。”
The polls and voters are clear. Do not make a deal with a repudiated and departing president that normalizes tariffs that Americans and Canadians don't want," he posted on "Do not put Canada at an economic disadvantage with a tariff-accepting deal."
