加拿大總理馬克·卡尼表示,加拿大與美國的舊關係“建立在深化經濟一體化以及緊密的安全和軍事合作的基礎上,已經結束”。
卡尼在渥太華內閣會議後對記者表示,麵對美國總統唐納德·特朗普的關稅,加拿大人必須“從根本上重新構想我們的經濟”。
他表示,加拿大將采取報複性關稅,對美國造成“最大程度的影響”。
特朗普周三宣布,他將對進口汽車及其零部件征收25%的關稅,並表示:“這是永久性的。”
加拿大:報複性貿易行動將對美國產生“最大影響”
自由黨領袖卡尼稱,1965年簽署的《加美汽車產品協定》是他一生中最重要的協議。
他用法語說道:“這些關稅已經結束了。”
他繼續表示,隻要政府和商界努力“重塑”和“重組”汽車行業,加拿大就能在美國關稅的影響下維持汽車行業。
他表示,加拿大需要建立一個加拿大人能夠掌控的經濟,這將包括重新思考與其他夥伴的貿易關係。
他補充說,加拿大未來能否與美國保持牢固的貿易關係還有待觀察。
卡尼在下個月大選前改變了競選計劃,以應對最新的進口關稅。
美國已經對部分加拿大商品征收了25%的全麵關稅,並對所有鋁和鋼鐵進口征收了25%的關稅。加拿大迄今已對美國商品征收約600億加元(420億美元;320億英鎊)的關稅,以示報複。
白宮表示,新的汽車關稅將於4月2日生效,進口汽車的企業也將於次日開始征收關稅。零部件關稅預計將於5月或之後開始征收。
德國帶頭抵製特朗普的汽車關稅,稱其“不會屈服”。
周四淩晨,特朗普警告加拿大和歐盟,不要在貿易戰中聯手對抗美國。
他在自己的“真相社交”平台上發帖稱:“如果歐盟與加拿大合作,損害美國的經濟,我們將對兩國征收遠超目前計劃的大規模關稅。”
卡尼周四上午在渥太華會見了他的內閣成員,“討論貿易方案”。他原本計劃前往魁北克進行競選活動。
他在新聞發布會上表示,特朗普總統昨晚已與他聯係,安排一次通話,預計將在“一兩天內”舉行。
如果通話順利進行,這將是兩人之間的首次通話。

主要反對黨保守黨領袖皮埃爾·波利耶夫稱,這些關稅“毫無道理,毫無根據”。
曾支持前總理賈斯汀·特魯多領導的少數派自由黨政府的左翼政黨新民主黨(NDP)周四也改變了競選計劃。
新民主黨領袖賈格米特·辛格當天在安大略省溫莎市會見了工會領導人和汽車工人。溫莎市是密歇根州底特律對麵的汽車製造中心。
他表示,美國的關稅是對親密盟友的“背叛”,並稱“唐納德·特朗普毫無理由地與加拿大發動了一場非法貿易戰”。
他表示,任何因關稅而將業務遷出加拿大的汽車公司都應被禁止在加拿大銷售汽車。
加拿大將於4月28日舉行大選。
去年,美國進口了約800萬輛汽車,貿易額約為2400億美元,約占總銷量的一半。

本月初,在成為自由黨領袖之後、宣誓就任總理之前,卡尼發表了勝選演講,猛烈抨擊了美國總統。
“一個崇拜唐納德·特朗普的人會跪在他麵前,而不是站起來反抗他,”他在抨擊其主要競爭對手波利耶夫時說道。
墨西哥是美國最大的汽車供應國,其次是韓國、日本、加拿大和德國。

墨西哥總統克勞迪婭·申鮑姆在周四上午的新聞發布會上拒絕就新的汽車關稅直接發表評論。
她發誓
政府將“始終捍衛墨西哥”,並努力維持就業崗位,保護受進口稅影響的墨西哥企業。
她表示,墨西哥將對特朗普政府於4月3日(許多關稅將於次日生效)實施的關稅做出“全麵回應”。
Sheinbaum曾多次指出,許多美國汽車公司在墨西哥和加拿大都有業務,而這兩個國家都受特朗普本人在其白宮第一任期內談判達成的北美自由貿易協定的約束。
她周四表示:“當然,不應該征收關稅。這才是自由貿易協定的本質。”
Canada PM Mark Carney says old relationship with US 'is over'

Reporting fromToronto, Bernd Debusmann
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that Canada's old relationship with the United States, "based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation, is over".
Speaking to reporters in Ottawa after a cabinet meeting, Carney said Canadians must "fundamentally reimagine our economy" in the face of US President Donald Trump's tariffs.
He said Canada would respond with retaliatory tariffs that will have "maximum impact" on the US.
Trump announced on Wednesday he would target imported vehicles and vehicle parts with a 25% tax, stating: "This is permanent."
Canada: Retaliatory trade action to have "maximum impact" on US
Carney, the Liberal Party leader, called the original Canada-US Automotive Products Agreement signed in 1965 the most important deal in his lifetime.
"That's finished with these tariffs," he said in French.
He continued that Canada can sustain an auto industry with the US tariffs provided the government and business community work to "reimagine" and "retool" the industry.
Canada needs to build an economy Canadians can control, he said, and that would include rethinking its trade relationship with other partners.
It remains to be seen whether Canadians can have a strong trading relationship with the United States going forward, he added.
Carney has switched his campaign plans ahead of next month's general election to confront the latest import duties.
The US has already partially imposed a blanket 25% tariff on Canadian goods, along with a 25% duty on all aluminium and steel imports. Canada has so far retaliated with about C$60bn ($42bn; £32bn) of tariffs on US goods.
The new car tariffs will come into effect on 2 April, with charges on businesses importing vehicles starting the next day, the White House said. Taxes on parts are set to start in May or later.

Early on Thursday morning, Trump warned Canada and the EU against joining forces versus the US in the trade war.
"If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large scale Tariffs, far larger than currently planned, will be placed on them both," he posted on his Truth Social platform.
Carney met his ministers in Ottawa on Thursday morning to "discuss trade options". He had originally been scheduled to campaign in Quebec.
He said during his press conference that President Trump had reached out to him last night to schedule a call, and that it would take place in the "next day or two".
If it takes place, this would be the first call between the pair.

Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservatives, the main opposition party, called the tariffs "unjustified and unprovoked".
The NDP, a left-wing party that previously helped prop up the minority Liberal government of ex-PM Justin Trudeau, also switched its campaign plans on Thursday.
Jagmeet Singh, the NDP leader, spent the day meeting union leaders and car workers in Windsor, Ontario, an auto manufacturing hub across from Detroit, Michigan.
He said the US tariffs are a "betrayal" against a close ally, saying that "Donald Trump has started an illegal trade war with Canada" for "absolutely no reason".
He said any auto company that moves their operations out of Canada because of the tariffs should be blocked from selling cars in the country.
Canadians go to the polls on 28 April.
The US imported about eight million cars last year - accounting for about $240bn in trade and roughly half of overall sales.

Earlier this month, after he became Liberal leader and before he was sworn in as prime minister, Carney gave a victory speech in which he lambasted the US president.
"A person who worships at the altar of Donald Trump will kneel before him, not stand up to him," he said, while assailing his main rival, Poilievre.
Mexico is the top supplier of cars to the US, followed by South Korea, Japan, Canada and Germany.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, in a news conference on Thursday morning, declined to comment directly on the new auto tariffs.
She vowed her government would "always defend Mexico", and fight to maintain job creation and protect Mexican companies affected by import taxes.
She said Mexico would provide an "integral response" to the Trump administration's tariffs on 3 April, the day after many are due to come into effect.
Sheinbaum has repeatedly noted that many US car companies have operations in both Mexico and Canada, which are bound by a North American free trade agreement that Trump himself negotiated during his first term in the White House.
"Of course, there shouldn't be tariffs," she said on Thursday. "That's the essence of the free trade agreement."
