“我们正专注于尽量最大化利用现有产能,但我们的产能已经饱和,因此我们正在探索所有选项。”托马斯还警告称,如果美国和加拿大无法在今年年底前达成新的贸易协议,汽车行业将面临“灾难性”局面。特朗普威胁称,如果两国不能达成协议,将从1月1日起把对加拿大汽车和零部件的关税从25%提高到50%。
"We are focused on trying to maximize the existing capacity that we have, but we are at capacity, and so we're exploring all options." Thomas also warned the automotive industry faces a "catastrophic" scenario if the U.S. and Canada cannot reach a new trade deal by the end of this year, when Trump threatened to double tariffs on Canadian vehicles and parts from 25% to 50% on Jan. 1 if the two countries don't reach a deal.
