前加拿大駐華大使蓋伊·聖雅克探討了加拿大對特朗普關稅呼籲的回應及其潛在後果。

現在，就特朗普呼籲對中國征收關稅而言，鑒於我們已經與美國和中國都存在貿易爭端，這會給加拿大帶來什麽影響？

嗯，你說得對。你知道，這對我們來說沒什麽好處，我想說，這發生在……唐納德·特朗普與普京在阿拉斯加舉行了一場災難性的峰會之後，以及他看到印度總理莫迪參加兩周前在天津舉行的上海合作組織峰會之後。那次峰會顯然是……中國、俄羅斯、朝鮮、伊朗和印度聯合起來對特朗普嗤之以鼻。所以我認為有趣的是，特朗普承認他需要幫助才能實現他的目標。我認為加拿大及其盟友有機會說，如果你們願意，如果你們需要我們的幫助，那麽讓我們一起努力，但我們需要明確我們究竟想要實現什麽。例如，我們需要美國明確確認他們將提供安全保障，以防止俄羅斯進一步入侵。

但我們需要更多關於具體情況的細節，因為現在特朗普要求我們做的是為他做繁重的工作。他本人並沒有表示要提高已經對印度征收的關稅，也對中國征收，因為他知道，事實上，中國會立即停止向美國出口稀土和磁鐵。所以，這是一個有趣的開端，但你知道，我們應該努力澄清，並提出一個比特朗普迄今為止暗示的更好的方案。

如果包括加拿大在內的北約盟國不履行特朗普的這一要求，鑒於當前的貿易爭端，我們是否會麵臨報複或後果？

嗯，我認為，如果我們表明我們已經準備好幫助美國實現其目標，事實上，卡尼總理可以重申，加拿大是首批對中國電動汽車征收高額關稅的國家之一，但我們並沒有因此在華盛頓獲得任何好感，因此我們會說，是的，我們想合作。但讓我們坐下來，製定一個好的計劃，這也意味著你必須把我們視為盟友，而不是敵人。我認為，如果特朗普這樣做了，如果我們不效仿，如果他對西方盟友征收更多關稅，他會怎麽做？這將對美國經濟產生更大的影響，這將對他造成懲罰，他將無法實現他的經濟目標。所以，嗯，我再次認為，有趣的是，他意識到自己需要一些幫助，我認為我們應該利用這一點，但要努力想出一個可行的好計劃，讓每個人都能出一份力，嗯，嗯，我認為這會更有可能成功，而且對我們來說後果更少，因為很明顯，你知道，如果我們進一步對中國征收關稅，中國會立即報複，我們也不會取得多大進展。

好的，Gee，非常感謝你抽出時間。很高興和你聊天。感謝你來到這裏。

謝謝。
我是前加拿大駐華大使吉斯·聖肖克。

‘Better game plan’ needed as Trump pressures NATO on China tariffs: expert

Former Canadian ambassador to China Guy Saint-Jacques discusses Canada’s response to Trump’s tariff call and potential consequences.

Now, in terms of Trump's call for tariffs on China, what kind of position does this leave Canada in as we are
already in a trade dispute with both the United States and China?

Well, you're right. the you know the there's not much uh for us in this and I I would say that this is happening after
Donald Trump uh had a disastrous summit with Putin in Alaska and after he saw the Indian Prime Minister Modi go to the Shangai Cooperation Organization summit
that took place in Tenzhen two weeks ago which was clearly uh uh you know China, Russia North Korea, Iran and India getting together to thumb their nose at uh at Trump. So I think what is interesting it's an admission on the part of Trump that he needs help to achieve his goal. And I think there is an opening for Canada and allies to say okay if you want if you need our help well let's work together but we need to be clear on what exactly we are trying to achieve here. And uh for instance  we would need uh a clear confirmation on the part of the US that they would provide security they would give security guarantees to Ukraine to prevent further invasion from Russia.

But we need to a lot more details on what exactly would happen because right now what uh Trump is asking us to do is do the heavy lifting for him. He has not said himself that he would increase the tariffs that he has already applied to India to to China because he knows that in fact uh China would immediately stop exporting rare earths and uh uh magnets to the US. So uh so it's an interesting opening but you know we we should try to
clarify and come up with uh a better game plan that what Trump has uh inuniated so far.

If NATO allies including Canada do not follow through on this demand from Trump could we be exposed to retaliation or consequences given the ongoing trade
dispute?

Well, I think if we portray this that you know we have already stand to help the US achieve its objectives and in fact you know you know Prime Minister Carney could repeat that you know Canada was one of the first nations to impose heavy tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles but you know we have not we we didn't get any brownie points in Washington for that and and therefore we would say look uh yes we want to work together. But let's sit down, come up with a good plan and uh this means also that you have to treat us as an ally rather than as an an enemy. And I think that you know if Trump were to because he is if we don't follow suit if he what could he do if he impose more tariffs on western allies that will have more repercussions on the American economy and uh that will penalize him and he won't be able to achieve his economic goal. So uh again I think what is interesting is a realization on his part that he needs some help and I think we should uh capitalize on this but try to come up with uh a good plan that is
workable and where everyone would uh chip in uh and uh uh I think that that would have more chance of success and less uh consequences for us because obviously you know if we are to impose further tariffs on China, China will immediately retaliate and we won't be much more advanced.

All right, Gee, thank you very much for your time. I appreciate this chat with you. Thanks for being here.

Thank you.
That is Geese St. Shock, former Canadian
ambassador to China.
