加拿大周五表示,将取消自3月以来针对约一半美国商品的25%关税,以重置与华盛顿的贸易关系。英国首相马克·卡尼宣布,从9月1日起,橙汁、花生酱、葡萄酒、啤酒、电器和摩托车的关税将被取消,而美国钢铁、铝和汽车的关税将保持不变。这一决定是卡尼自8月1日最后期限前贸易谈判破裂以来首次与特朗普总统通话后做出的。卡尼在新闻发布会上表示,取消关税意味着“美国和加拿大现在将平等对待其大部分贸易”,并指出根据《美国-墨西哥-加拿大协定》,加拿大进口商品免征美国关税。一位白宫官员对此举表示欢迎,称其“早就应该”,而卡尼表示,渥太华现在将专注于支持仍面临高额关税的行业,并为明年的USMCA正式审查做准备。
Canada said Friday it will lift its 25% tariff on about half of the U.S. goods targeted since March, in a bid to reset trade ties with Washington. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that duties on orange juice, peanut butter, wine, beer, appliances, and motorcycles will be removed starting September 1, while tariffs on U.S. steel, aluminum, and automobiles will remain. The decision followed Carney’s first call with President Trump since trade talks collapsed before an August 1 deadline. At a press conference, Carney said removing the tariffs means “the U.S. and Canada will now treat the bulk of their trade equally,” noting Canadian imports are exempt from U.S. duties under the U.S.–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA). A White House official welcomed the move as “long overdue,” while Carney said Ottawa will now focus on supporting industries still facing hefty tariffs and prepare for USMCA’s formal review next year.
