多伦多市长邹至蕙对哥伦比亚广播公司表示,美加之间不断升级的关税争端是“双输局面”且“毫无必要”,她指出这场贸易争端威胁到加拿大的就业岗位,还可能推高美国民众的商品价格。
加拿大周二宣布对价值200亿美元的美国商品征收最高50%的报复性关税,这是对特朗普政府针对加拿大产品征收50%关税的对等反击,也是不断扩大的贸易战中的最新一轮交锋。
邹至蕙表示,多伦多纺织、服装和皮革制造业约5000个工作岗位可能受到影响。
“一旦关税落地,意味着美国人购买商品的成本将会上涨,”邹至蕙说道。
特朗普总统还宣布对加拿大汽车和钢铁进口征收50%的关税,如果无法达成协议,该关税将于2027年1月1日生效。
“多年来加拿大一直在占美国的便宜,”特朗普周一在Truth社交平台上写道,并补充道“加拿大将不再被当作美国的一个州来对待!”
“我们感觉自己被霸凌了,”邹至蕙在回应特朗普将加拿大称为美国第51个州的言论时表示,“被称为第51个州,这威胁到了我们国家的主权,我们不会对此掉以轻心。”
邹至蕙誓言要“进行反击”,其中一项举措就是鼓励选民购买加拿大国产商品,而非美国产品。
“只要有得选,我们就会购买身边的本土商品,”邹至蕙说道,她强调自己的不满针对的是美国政府,而非美国民众。
“怀有敌意的不是美国民众,而是你们那位总统一一他一直在攻击我们,”她说道。
她呼吁美国人联系他们的民选官员,推动开展进一步谈判。
“我们世世代代都是伙伴和朋友,”邹至蕙说,“我们究竟为什么要毫无缘由地撕破关系?”
Toronto mayor calls tariff fight “unnecessary,” says “we feel like we’re being bullied”

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow told CBS News that the escalating tariff fight between the U.S. and Canada is “a lose-lose situation” and “really unnecessary,” arguing the trade dispute threatens jobs in Canada and could increase prices for Americans.
Canada’s tit-for-tat tariffs of up to 50% on $20 billion worth of American goods announced Tuesday are a dollar-for-dollar retaliation against the Trump administration’s 50% tariffs on Canadian products – the latest volley in a widening trade war.
Chow said around 5,000 jobs in Toronto’s textile, clothing and leather manufacturing industries could be affected.
“When that happens, it means the price of Americans buying things, the cost will go up,” Chow said.
President Trump also announced 50% tariffs on Canadian automotive and steel imports that, absent a deal, would take effect on Jan. 1, 2027.
“Canada has been ripping off the United States of America for years,” Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday, adding “Canada will be treated like a State no longer!”
“We feel like we’re being bullied,” Chow said in response to Mr. Trump’s comments about making Canada the 51st U.S. state. “Being called the 51st state, it’s threatening our sovereignty as a country, and we don’t take it lightly.”
Chow has vowed to “hit back,” in part, by encouraging her constituents to buy Canadian goods rather than American products.
“Unless there’s a choice, we’re going to buy what is around us,” Chow said, stressing her frustrations are with the U.S. government, not the American people.
“It’s not Americans that are hostile. It’s that president of yours that is just attacking us,” she said.
She urged Americans to contact their elected officials to push for further negotiations.
“They’ve been our partners and friends for so many generations,” Chow said. “Why are we just ripping things apart for no good reason?”
