加拿大总理称准备好与美国达成互利贸易协议

加拿大总理卡尼表示，只要美国准备就绪，加拿大便准备与其达成互利贸易协议，但未明确宣布谈判日期1。当前，美国与加拿大之间贸易紧张局势升温，美方自8月22日起对价值约200亿美元的加拿大商品征收50%关税1，加拿大随之宣布将从当地时间9月8日起采取对等反制措施1。

双方就谈判破裂的原因存在争议1。美国商务部长卢特尼克指责卡尼为了争取政治空间而"搞砸了"谈判1。随后，美国总统特朗普在社交媒体威胁称，加拿大经济将因此崩溃，程度"比任何加拿大政客遭遇过的情况都更糟"1。

Canadian Prime Minister Chrystien Carney expressed readiness to conclude a mutually beneficial trade agreement with the United States whenever the American side is prepared, though no negotiation timeline was announced.1 The statement comes amid escalating trade tensions between the two countries, with the U.S. having imposed 50 percent tariffs on approximately 20 billion dollars worth of Canadian goods since August 22.1 In response, Canada will implement reciprocal countermeasures beginning September 8.1

The two nations remain at odds over the breakdown of negotiations. U.S. Commerce Secretary Loren Lutnik blamed Carney for "botching" the talks to gain political space domestically.1 President Donald Trump subsequently threatened on social media that Canada's economy will collapse as a result, stating the damage will be worse "than anything any Canadian politician has ever experienced."1
