Watch: 'US asked too much and offered too little,' says Canada's PM Mark Carney Prime Minister Mark Carney has said a fresh wave of US tariffs on Canada is a "miscalculation" designed to "hurt and divide us", after trade talks collapsed late on Friday.
观看:加拿大总理马克·卡尼说:"美国要求太多,付出却太少" 总理马克·卡尼表示,美国对加拿大征收新一轮关税是"误判",旨在"伤害和分裂我们",此前贸易谈判于周五深夜破裂。
"They asked too much and they offered too little," Carney told Canadians on Saturday morning, adding the country was now in a trade "war" after being hit with punishing new US duties The prime minister confirmed he would match US tariffs "dollar-for-dollar" from 8 September, including levies on steel, dairy, appliances and electronics.
卡尼周六早上对加拿大人表示:"他们要求太多,提供的东西却太少。"他补充说,在受到美国新关税的惩罚后,国家现在正处于一场贸易"战争" 总理确认,他将从9月8日起"一美元一美元"匹配美国关税,包括钢铁、乳制品、家电和电子产品税。
The collapse of the trade talks upends a deeply integrated trading relationship between two allies, with no clear path to resolution.
贸易谈判的破裂打破了两国盟友之间深度整合的贸易关系,且无明确解决之路。
US President Donald Trump has yet to comment.
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普尚未发表评论。
Both countries were optimistic of a deal earlier in the week, but talks fell apart after both sides accused the other of making last-minute changes.
两国本周早些时候对达成协议持乐观态度,但谈判破裂,因双方指责对方在最后时刻做出变动。
Now that talks have broken down, Canada has been hit with new 50% US tariffs on a range of Canadian goods, in addition to existing US tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminium, automobiles and lumber.
谈判破裂后,加拿大在现有的钢铁、铝、汽车和木材关税之外,还面临美国对一系列加拿大商品的新50%关税。
The new tariffs are limited in scope, covering about $20bn (£15bn; C$28bn) of Canadian imports, or about 5% in total, including wine, dairy, cement, clothing and hockey equipment.
新的关税范围有限,涵盖了大约200亿加元(150亿英镑;280亿加元)的加拿大进口商品,约占总额的5%,包括葡萄酒、乳制品、水泥、服装和曲棍球装备。
The prime minister said Canada was retaliating "reluctantly" to protect its interests.
总理表示,加拿大正在"勉强"进行报复,以保护自身利益。
Details of the counter-measures will be released in the coming days, he said.
他说,反制措施的细节将在未来几天内公布。
Leaders of other federal parties in Canada, including the Conservative opposition, voiced support for the prime minister, as have the leaders of some Canadian provinces. Tariffs - a tax placed on imports from other countries - have been a key component of Trump's trade policy, with the US president arguing they will boost American manufacturing and create jobs at home.
加拿大其他联邦政党的领导人,包括保守党反对党,都表达了对总理的支持,加拿大一些省份的领导人也表达了同样的态度。 关税——对其他国家进口商品征收的税——一直是特朗普贸易政策的关键组成部分,美国总统认为关税将促进美国制造业并创造国内就业。
Critics, however, say tariffs have raised prices for American consumers and have disrupted and damaged the global economy.
然而,批评者认为关税提高了美国消费者的价格,扰乱并损害了全球经济。
Carney faces crucial test after walking away from Trump's deal Carney's speech on Saturday was his first address to Canadians after he announced late on Friday night that a deal would not be reached, accusing the Americans of making "last-minute changes" that were "unfair" and "uneconomic".
卡尼在放弃特朗普协议后面临关键考验 卡尼周六的演讲是他在周五深夜宣布无法达成协议后,首次向加拿大人发表讲话,指责美国做出"临时变更",这些变更"不公平"且"不经济"。
US negotiators, meanwhile, accused Canada of making "new demands and walk backs" on terms which had been previously agreed.
与此同时,美国谈判代表指责加拿大在此前达成的条款上提出"新要求和退缩"。
On Saturday, US trade representative Jamieson Greer told Fox News there were no plans to resume talks.
周六,美国贸易代表杰米森·格里尔告诉福克斯新闻,没有恢复谈判的计划。
He added that the US had been prepared to cut some of its tariffs on Canada as part of the ill-fated deal.
他补充说,美国曾准备根据这次不幸的协议削减对加拿大的一些关税。
Carney, however, said the US presented "unacceptable" terms that were too restrictive, including curbing Canada's ability to strike new trade deals with other countries.
然而,卡尼表示,美国提出了"不可接受"的条款,这些条款过于严格,包括限制加拿大与其他国家签订新贸易协议的能力。
He also rejected the assertion that Canada had made last-minute requests: "We clarified what was on offer and were continually disappointed by the answers."
他还否认了加拿大在最后时刻提出请求的说法:"我们澄清了可提供的方案,但不断被答案失望。"
Doug Ford, the leader of Canada's most populous province Ontario, backed Carney and said Trump "can't be trusted".
加拿大人口最多省份安大略省的领导人道格·福特支持卡尼,并表示特朗普"不可信"。
British Columbia Premier David Eby said the US demand for restrictions on Canada's ability to have other trade deal "would reduce us to the economic equivalent of the 51st state."
不列颠哥伦比亚省省长大卫·埃比表示,美国要求限制加拿大签订其他贸易协定的能力,"将使我们经济地位沦为第51州的经济对应物。"
"It was never acceptable to Canadians," Eby said.
"这从来都不是加拿大人能接受的,"埃比说。
The Conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre also appeared to support Carney, calling the latest US levies "unjustified".
保守党反对党领袖皮埃尔·波利耶夫似乎也支持卡尼,称最新的美国征税"毫无根据"。
Quebec's premier, Christine Fréchette, warned jobs would likely be lost as a result of the new US tariffs.

"Behind these numbers are real people," she said, vowing to introduce measures to support impacted sectors.
"这些数字背后是真实的人,"她说,誓言将推出支持受影响行业的措施。
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, whose oil-rich province has worked to make inroads with the Trump administration, urged both sides to resume talks.
阿尔伯塔省省长丹妮尔·史密斯,他所在的富油省份一直努力与特朗普政府取得进展,她敦促双方恢复谈判。
The collapse comes after more than a year of on-again, off-again trade talks, which intensified in recent weeks after a US-imposed deadline to strike a deal or face further tariffs.
此次崩溃发生在断断续续进行了一年多的贸易谈判之后,最近几周在美国设定达成协议的最后期限后,谈判愈发激烈,否则将面临更多关税加收。
The two countries were also engaged in a mandatory review of an existing North American free trade agreement, known as USMCA, with Mexico.
两国还与墨西哥进行对现有北美自由贸易协定USMCA的强制审查。
The pact was signed by Trump during his first term to replace the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement.
该协议是在特朗普第一任期内签署的,旨在取代1994年的北美自由贸易协定。
It underpins $1.6tn (£1.2tn) in annual trilateral trade across Canada, the US and Mexico.
它支撑着加拿大、美国和墨西哥每年16万亿美元(12万亿英镑)的三边贸易。
Earlier this summer, Canada and Mexico had formally requested for USMCA to be renewed for another 16 years.
今年夏初,加拿大和墨西哥正式请求延长USMCA续期16年。
The US, however, declined to renew it in its current form. Asked how Friday's trade talk collapse would impact the North American free trade pact, Carney said it was "certainly not good news".
然而,美国拒绝以目前的形式续签。 当被问及周五的贸易谈判崩溃将如何影响北美自由贸易协定时,卡尼说这"当然不是好消息"。
