It would reach Himalayan heights of foolishness for Canada, China and Mexico to assume they’ve seen the last of Donald Trump raising tariffs. This week their governments all coped with the threat rather well. To forestall the threat of 25 per cent import taxes, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau executed what I call the “soyabean shuffle”. The term recalls the then European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker forestalling car tariffs in 2018 by promising Trump that Europe would buy more US soyabeans, which it already was.
如果加拿大、manbetx3.0 和墨西哥以为他们已经看到了唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)最后一次提高关税，那将是愚蠢至极的。本周，他们的政府都很好地应对了关税威胁。为了阻止美国25%进口税的威胁，墨西哥总统克劳迪娅•辛鲍姆(Claudia Sheinbaum)和加拿大总理贾斯廷•特鲁多(Justin Trudeau)实施了一种策略，我称之为“大豆洗牌”。这个词呼应一段往事：时任欧盟委员会(European Commission)主席让-克洛德•容克(Jean-Claude Juncker)在2018年向特朗普承诺，欧洲将购买更多美国大豆，从而阻止了汽车关税的征收，而欧洲确实增购了美国大豆。
