密歇根州联邦参议院共和党提名候选人迈克·罗杰斯在一则新广告中,就总统唐纳德·特朗普对加拿大加征关税的政策与其决裂。
“在密歇根,我们都清楚加拿大并非我们的敌人。我们需要立刻结束这场关税战,”罗杰斯在这则30秒的广告中说道。“作为密歇根的参议员,我将推动两党合作,降低民众的生活成本。这是我的首要任务。”

这位前国会议员在广告中并未提及特朗普的名字,但这明显是针对特朗普政府对约200亿美元进口自美国的加拿大商品征收50%关税的决定所带来的经济影响作出的回应。
他是越来越多在关键议题上与特朗普决裂的共和党候选人中的最新一位。罗杰斯上个月曾表示,特朗普与伊朗的冲突需要“迅速结束”,这一立场与其他几位参与竞争州长或参议院席位的共和党候选人一致。
这则新广告是罗杰斯针对特朗普关税政策发表的最为直言不讳的言论。在8月的一份声明中,这位前国会议员曾表示,关税“有必要,但并非万能解决方案”。

这则广告拍摄于一家酒吧内,罗杰斯开篇便提及了加拿大一家大型酿酒企业以及底特律职业冰球队。
“喝着拉格啤酒,看着红翼队比赛——伙计,这才是最地道的密歇根生活,”他说道。
罗杰斯将与民主党籍前公共卫生官员阿卜杜勒·赛义德展开角逐,这场竞选对参议院控制权的争夺至关重要。民主党需要净增4个席位才能获得参议院多数党地位,如果民主党在密歇根州退休参议员加里·彼得斯的席位上失利,这一任务将变得更加艰难。
赛义德长期以来一直批评特朗普的关税政策以及对伊朗的冲突,他称这两项政策都在推高美国民众的生活成本。
“我们都认识加拿大人。加拿大人大概是世界上唯一一个会为自己根本没做过的事抢先道歉的群体。如果你要和加拿大打贸易战,那你就是个混蛋,”赛义德上个月对记者说道。“关税的使用应当讲究策略。这根本算不上策略,这只是一场虚荣心作祟的战争。”

Mike Rogers, the Republican Senate nominee in Michigan, is breaking with President Donald Trump over his tariffs on Canada in a new advertisement.
“Here in Michigan, we know that Canada is not our enemy. We need to end this tariff war — now,” Rogers says in the 30-second spot. “As Michigan’s senator, I’ll bring both parties together to lower your prices. That’s job number one.”

The former congressman didn’t use Trump’s name in the ad. But it’s a clear reference to the economic impact of the president’s decision to slap 50% tariffs on about $20 billion in Canadian goods imported into the United States.
He is the latest in a growing list of GOP candidates breaking with Trump on key issues. Rogers last month said Trump’s war with Iran needs to “end quickly” — a position shared by several other Republican candidates in competitive races for governor or the Senate.
The new ad is the most outspoken Rogers has been against Trump’s tariffs. In a statement in August, the former congressman said tariffs are “necessary, but are not a one-size-fits-all solution.”

The ad is filmed in a bar, with Rogers opening by making a reference to a Canadian brewing giant, and Detroit’s professional hockey team.
“Drinking a Labatt and watching the Red Wings — man, it just doesn’t get any more Michigan than that,” he says.
Rogers faces Democratic former public health official Abdul El-Sayed in a race that is critical to the battle for control of the Senate. Democrats need a net gain of four seats to claim the majority — a task that would grow much harder should the party lose the seat of retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters in Michigan.
El-Sayed has long been critical of Trump’s tariffs, as well as the war with Iran, both of which he says are driving up prices for Americans.
“We all know Canadians. Canadians are like the only people in the world who are going to preemptively apologize for something they didn’t even do. If you’re starting a trade war with Canada, you’re the a**hole,” El-Sayed told reporters last month. “There’s a smart use of tariffs. This ain’t it. This is a vanity war.”
