前加拿大驻华大使盖伊·圣雅克探讨了加拿大对特朗普关税呼吁的回应及其潜在后果。

现在，就特朗普呼吁对中国征收关税而言，鉴于我们已经与美国和中国都存在贸易争端，这会给加拿大带来什么影响？

嗯，你说得对。你知道，这对我们来说没什么好处，我想说，这发生在……唐纳德·特朗普与普京在阿拉斯加举行了一场灾难性的峰会之后，以及他看到印度总理莫迪参加两周前在天津举行的上海合作组织峰会之后。那次峰会显然是……中国、俄罗斯、朝鲜、伊朗和印度联合起来对特朗普嗤之以鼻。所以我认为有趣的是，特朗普承认他需要帮助才能实现他的目标。我认为加拿大及其盟友有机会说，如果你们愿意，如果你们需要我们的帮助，那么让我们一起努力，但我们需要明确我们究竟想要实现什么。例如，我们需要美国明确确认他们将提供安全保障，以防止俄罗斯进一步入侵。

但我们需要更多关于具体情况的细节，因为现在特朗普要求我们做的是为他做繁重的工作。他本人并没有表示要提高已经对印度征收的关税，也对中国征收，因为他知道，事实上，中国会立即停止向美国出口稀土和磁铁。所以，这是一个有趣的开端，但你知道，我们应该努力澄清，并提出一个比特朗普迄今为止暗示的更好的方案。

如果包括加拿大在内的北约盟国不履行特朗普的这一要求，鉴于当前的贸易争端，我们是否会面临报复或后果？

嗯，我认为，如果我们表明我们已经准备好帮助美国实现其目标，事实上，卡尼总理可以重申，加拿大是首批对中国电动汽车征收高额关税的国家之一，但我们并没有因此在华盛顿获得任何好感，因此我们会说，是的，我们想合作。但让我们坐下来，制定一个好的计划，这也意味着你必须把我们视为盟友，而不是敌人。我认为，如果特朗普这样做了，如果我们不效仿，如果他对西方盟友征收更多关税，他会怎么做？这将对美国经济产生更大的影响，这将对他造成惩罚，他将无法实现他的经济目标。所以，嗯，我再次认为，有趣的是，他意识到自己需要一些帮助，我认为我们应该利用这一点，但要努力想出一个可行的好计划，让每个人都能出一份力，嗯，嗯，我认为这会更有可能成功，而且对我们来说后果更少，因为很明显，你知道，如果我们进一步对中国征收关税，中国会立即报复，我们也不会取得多大进展。

好的，Gee，非常感谢你抽出时间。很高兴和你聊天。感谢你来到这里。

谢谢。
我是前加拿大驻华大使吉斯·圣肖克。

‘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.

ambassador to China.
