加拿大总理马克·卡尼周二表示，正在为受美国高额关税打击最严重的行业准备财政援助计划，最早可能在下个月推出，具体取决于正在进行的贸易谈判的结果。加拿大已经宣布支持汽车和钢铁行业的工人，这两个行业分别面临美国25%和50%的关税。卡尼补充说，正在考虑对铝行业的援助，以及对林产品、铜和制药行业的可能支持。铝行业集中在魁北克省，也征收50%的关税。美国威胁要对这些行业征收进一步关税，并将在8月1日前解决争端。卡尼承认，尽管进行了谈判，但一些关税可能仍然存在，但他强调，加拿大只会接受有利于其经济的协议。他说：“一笔好交易将承认并加强美国和加拿大的一体化供应链”，特别是在汽车领域。
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday that financial aid programs are being prepared for industries hit hardest by steep U.S. tariffs, with potential rollout as early as next month, depending on the outcome of ongoing trade talks. Canada has already announced support for workers in the auto and steel sectors, which face U.S. tariffs of 25% and 50%, respectively. Carney added that aid for the aluminum industry—concentrated in Quebec and also subject to 50% tariffs—is being considered, along with possible support for the forest-products, copper, and pharmaceutical sectors. The U.S. has threatened further tariffs on those industries, with an August 1 deadline for resolving the dispute. Carney acknowledged that some tariffs may remain despite negotiations, but emphasized that Canada will only accept a deal that benefits its economy. “A good deal,” he said, “would recognize and reinforce the integrated U.S.-Canadian supply chains,” particularly in autos.
