美国总统特朗普于9月8日宣布一系列新的贸易措施，进一步加剧与加拿大的贸易冲突1。特朗普指示美国总务管理局与美国贸易代表办公室采取行动，将加拿大产品排除出美国政府采购计划，直至加方对美农民和企业恢复公平互惠1。同时，美国还宣布禁止加拿大乳制品、大多数酒精饮料和摩托车进口，禁令将在三周后生效3。特朗普表示"多年来加拿大一直在占我们的便宜"，并称"这不是对等互惠，这是加拿大的一个贸易骗局"1。
这一系列措施是对加拿大报复性关税的回应。早前美国政府依据《斯穆特-霍利关税法》第338条款对加拿大进口商品加征50%关税，相关关税措施于8月22日生效1。作为对等回应，加拿大于9月8日起宣布实施等额报复性关税，覆盖约200亿美元美国商品，占美国对加出口总额的约6%3。加拿大总理马克·卡尼警告称，远离美国贸易伙伴地位将付出代价2，并表示"这关乎确保任何国家都不能要挟我们，我们可以按照自己的方式生活"3。双方自8月下旬谈判破裂后，尚未安排新的谈判2。
President Donald Trump escalated trade tensions with Canada through a series of measures targeting Canadian goods. On September 8, Trump directed the U.S. General Services Administration and the U.S. Trade Representative's office to exclude Canadian products from federal government procurement plans 1, citing unfair trade practices. "Canada has been taking advantage of us for a long time. This is not reciprocal trade—this is a Canadian trade scam. From now on, there is no market access without reciprocal trade," Trump stated 1.
The escalation follows months of mounting trade friction. The U.S. government imposed a 50% tariff on Canadian imports under Section 338 of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act in July, with the measures taking effect on August 22 13. In response, Canada implemented retaliatory tariffs on September 8, covering approximately $20 billion worth of American goods at rates of 15%, 25%, or 50% 3. Trump subsequently announced additional import bans on Canadian dairy products, most alcoholic beverages, and motorcycles, effective three weeks from the announcement 3. According to BBC World, the bans also extend to vehicles and will take effect on September 29, 2025 2.
Negotiations between the two countries broke down on August 21, with no new talks scheduled 3. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated: "It's about ensuring that no country can hold us hostage. And that we can live how we want to live" 3.
