唐纳德·特朗普总统与加拿大的贸易谈判陷入停滞——报复性关税威胁再次升级——而副总统JD·万斯则在缅因州向选民解释称，加拿大在贸易问题上对华比对美国更友好，尤其是对美国农民。
“他们对中国商品的待遇比对缅因州民众的商品更公平：这简直是疯癫，”万斯周一下午在缅因州布鲁尔的问答环节中说道，“我们已经对加拿大说过，停止这种行为。”
万斯表示，他认为美加两国曾接近达成贸易协议，后来谈判破裂，他将此归咎于渥太华提出了他所说的“不合理的最后一分钟要求”。

“老实说，我以为我们已经达成协议了，”万斯说，“我认为我们本应该达成协议，但我们必须向加拿大总理明确传递一个信号：别再占缅因州民众的便宜。别再占美国的便宜。一切都该结束了。”
加拿大总理马克·卡尼周五宣布加拿大暂停谈判。特朗普周一在Truth Social平台上发帖称，他计划从2027年1月起对加拿大产汽车、汽车零部件和钢铁征收50%的关税。
“多年来，加拿大一直在敲诈美国，”特朗普写道，“他们对我们农民和农产品征收的高得离谱的关税，让这些伟大的美国爱国者的生活难以为继，也长期造成了两国之间600亿美元的贸易逆差。这不可持续，而且从今往后，不会再有这样的情况了！”
特朗普盟友推动为总统配备新关税武器，以惩罚“敲诈”美国的国家
万斯是在布鲁尔的国防技术制造商Compotech出席活动时发表上述言论的，当时他回应了一个关于政府关税政策可能如何影响缅因州企业和消费者的问题。
“我们非常清楚，缅因州是与加拿大接壤的州，”万斯说，“缅因州和加拿大之间有大量跨境交易。我们在这里努力做的，就是确保缅因州真正获得公平的交易。”
万斯辩称，加拿大和中国是对美国设置贸易壁垒最严重的国家之一，同时他尖锐区分了华盛顿对经济竞争对手和长期盟友的不同期望。
查德·沃尔夫：美国不能忽视中国对美国工业的经济攻击
“中国，当然，你可以预料到——他们是我们最大的经济竞争对手，”万斯说，“我能料到中国会这样做。但我不会料到加拿大会这样。”
万斯随后短暂将加拿大称为“州”，随即立刻纠正自己，提到特朗普长期以来拿加拿大做梗，调侃其为美国第51个州。
“我们得记住，加拿大是个州——抱歉，口误，那其实是个意外，”万斯说，“加拿大是一个在军事上投入不足的国家，如果没有美国提供的保护伞，它很可能会被外国入侵。”
查德·沃尔夫：加拿大不能一边享受自由贸易，一边让我们的北部边境脆弱不堪
他辩称，加拿大对这种盟友关系的回应是，对美国产品施加贸易限制，同时指望美国不会 retaliate（报复）。
“他们对进入加拿大的缅因州产品征收荒谬的关税和其他非关税关税，却不指望缅因州或其他任何人反击，”万斯说，“我们受够了这一切。”
“我们实际上将反击不公平的贸易行为，无论这些行为来自中国还是加拿大。”
特朗普政府扩大“美国制造”标签使用，随着美国国产牛肉呼声高涨
万斯特别提到了乳制品，对比了加拿大产品进入缅因州的待遇，以及当美国乳制品出口超过加拿大关税配额时所适用的关税。
“如果一名缅因州农民向加拿大出口乳制品，他们可能需要支付高达250%的关税，”万斯说，“现在，缅因州农民要支付250%的关税，而加拿大农民却不用付钱，这怎么公平？”
据报道，在特朗普再次威胁加征关税后，加拿大取消了与美国联合举行的桥梁庆祝活动
加拿大的乳制品体系根据《美国-墨西哥-加拿大协定》为一定数量的美国产品提供免税准入，但一旦进口量超过配额，就会征收高额关税。例如，加拿大关税表中列出的某些牛奶产品的配额外税率为241%，其他乳制品类别甚至可能征收更高税率。
万斯还指责加拿大允许中国商品以该国为跳板进入北美市场，称这一问题已成为最新一轮谈判的议题之一。
“我们知道，加拿大任由自己被用作中国商品的后门，”万斯说。

尽管如此，万斯仍为双方重新达成协议留下了可能性，尽管他明确表示，如果渥太华不做出让步，政府准备继续维持关税。
“我认为我们本应该达成协议，”万斯说，“我们期望贸易政策公平公正。”

President Donald Trump’s trade talks with Canada have stalled – with threats of retaliatory tariffs ramping up again – but Vice President JD Vance was in Maine, explaining to voters that Canada has been friendlier to China on trade than to them, particularly farmers.
“They treat Chinese goods more fairly than they do the goods that come from the people of Maine: It’s insanity,” Vance said during a question-and-answer session in Brewer, Maine, on Monday afternoon. “And what we’ve said to Canada is stop it.”
Vance said he believes the U.S. and Canada had been close to reaching a trade agreement before negotiations broke down, blaming Ottawa for bringing what he described as “unreasonable last-minute demands” to the table.

“I frankly thought we had a deal,” Vance said. “I think that we should have a deal, but I think that we need to send a message loud and clear to the prime minister of Canada: Stop taking advantage of the people of Maine. Stop taking advantage of America. It’s over.”
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Friday that Canada was suspending negotiations. Trump posted Monday on Truth Social that he plans to impose 50% tariffs on Canadian-made vehicles, auto parts and steel beginning in January 2027.
“Canada has been ripping off the United States of America for years,” Trump wrote. “Their ridiculously high tariffs on our Farmers and farm products has made life impossible for these great American Patriots, and has long created a 60 Billion Dollar Deficit between our two Countries. Not sustainable, and NOT ANYMORE!”

Vance made the remarks during an appearance at Compotech, a defense technology manufacturer in Brewer, as the vice president fielded a question about how the administration’s tariffs could affect Maine businesses and consumers.
“We’re very mindful of the fact that Maine is a border state with Canada,” Vance said. “There’s a lot of cross-border transaction between Maine and Canada. And what we’re trying to do here is just make sure that Maine actually gets a fair deal.”
Vance argued that Canada and China have been among the worst offenders when it comes to trade barriers against the U.S., while drawing a sharp distinction between what Washington expects from an economic competitor and from a longtime ally.

“China, you of course expect — they’re our biggest economic competitor,” Vance said. “I would expect that from China. I would not expect that from Canada.”
Vance then briefly referred to Canada as a “state” before immediately correcting himself, referencing Trump’s long-running trolling of Canada, teasing it as the 51st state.
“We have to remember Canada is a state — sorry, Freudian slip — that was actually an accident,” Vance said. “Canada is a country that has underinvested in its military that quite literally would get invaded by a foreign country were it not for the umbrella of protection provided by the United States of America.”
CHAD WOLF: CANADA CAN’T EXPECT FREE TRADE WHILE LEAVING OUR NORTHERN BORDER VULNERABLE
He argued that Canada had responded to that relationship by imposing trade restrictions on American products while expecting the U.S. not to retaliate.
“They apply ridiculous tariffs and other non-tariff duties on Maine products coming into Canada, and they don’t expect Maine or anybody else to fight back,” Vance said. “We’re sick of that.”
“We are actually going to fight back against unfair trade practices, whether it’s coming from China or Canada.”
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION EXPANDS ‘PRODUCT OF USA’ LABEL AS PUSH FOR AMERICAN-RAISED BEEF GROWS
Vance pointed specifically to dairy products, contrasting the treatment of Canadian products entering Maine with the tariffs that can apply when U.S. dairy exports exceed Canada’s tariff-rate quotas.
“If a Maine farmer sends dairy products into Canada, they could be paying as much as a 250% tariff,” Vance said. “Now, how is it fair to the farmers of Maine that they pay 250% when the Canadian farmers pay nothing?”

Canada’s dairy system provides duty-free access for set quantities of U.S. products under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, but steep tariffs can apply once imports exceed those quotas. Canada’s tariff schedule, for example, lists a 241% over-quota rate for certain milk products, while other dairy categories can carry even higher rates.
Vance also accused Canada of allowing Chinese goods to use the country as a route into the North American market, saying that issue had become part of the latest negotiations.
“We know that Canada allows itself to be used as a back door for Chinese goods,” Vance said.

Vance nevertheless left open the possibility of the two sides returning to an agreement, even as he made clear the administration was prepared to keep tariffs in place without concessions from Ottawa.
“I think that we should have a deal,” Vance said. “We expect fairness in our trade policy.”
