特朗普称欧盟计划接纳加拿大为“联席成员”是敌对行为,并威胁实施关税和贸易制裁。
美国总统特朗普周三警告欧盟,若其接纳加拿大成为“联席成员”将被视为敌对行为,并威胁实施严厉关税及贸易制裁。此前欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩宣布了该构想,背景源于特朗普关税政策动摇了美加关系。

“如果他们这么做,如果我认为这带有任何敌对性质,我会征收非常严厉的关税,或者在许多领域停止与欧洲的贸易,”特朗普在前往北卡罗来纳州参加活动的途中对记者说。这位美国总统还称加拿大加入欧盟的前景“荒谬可笑”。
加拿大为何转向欧盟?
加拿大与欧盟靠近,甚至有望获得欧盟准成员国资格,其背景是特朗普在第二任期内从根本上动摇了华盛顿与其北方邻国的关系。
加拿大是特朗普关税政策的首批受害者之一。上个月美加贸易谈判破裂后,渥太华与华盛顿之间的紧张局势升级;特朗普于去年7月宣布,将对加拿大商品征收的关税从25%提高至35%。而加拿大总理则誓言采取对等反制措施。

在特朗普治下,华盛顿与跨大西洋盟友的关系也受到冲击。其中最引人注目的是特朗普试图将属于丹麦王国的格陵兰岛置于美国控制之下。
像全球大多数国家一样,欧盟也受到了特朗普广泛关税政策的波及,但双方最终于去年7月达成了一项旨在降低关税的贸易协议。美国对欧盟的商品统一征收15%的关税,欧盟还承诺大量采购美国能源和军事装备。此外,该协议还要求欧盟在美国投资6000亿美元。
