BREAKING: Trump Just Blew Up His Own Trade Deal With Canada and Mexico
突發：川普親手毀了他與加拿大和墨西哥的貿易協議
本週，唐納德·川普讓美墨加協定（USMCA）徹底破裂，放棄了他在第一任期內曾大肆吹噓談判達成的這項貿易協議。
美國貿易代表週三證實，白宮不會以目前的形式續簽該協議，這實際上終結了這項已有16年歷史的三邊協定。該協定每年為美國、加拿大和墨西哥之間約2兆美元的貿易提供支持。
川普曾稱美墨加協定是美國工人和農民的「歷史性勝利」。如今，在對墨西哥和加拿大商品加徵數月關稅，並堅稱美國不需要這兩個國家的任何東西之後，他卻親手撕毀了這項協定。
「我們不需要加拿大擁有的任何東西。我們不需要墨西哥擁有的任何東西，但他們需要我們擁有的一切，」川普在6月對記者說。 “他們必須對我們更好。”
加拿大和墨西哥是美國最大的兩個貿易夥伴，兩國貿易額合計約占美國出口總額的三分之一。全美各地的農民、牧場主和小型企業都圍繞著川普親自簽署的一項協議構建了供應鏈，而如今這項協議正在瓦解，看不到任何替代方案。
經濟學家表示，這種不確定性可能會持續數月，最終將由美國工人承擔川普與其貿易夥伴之間衝突所帶來的後果。
Donald Trump let the USMCA collapse this week, walking away from the very trade deal he spent years bragging about negotiating during his first term.
The U.S. Trade Representative confirmed Wednesday that the White House would not renew the agreement in its current form, effectively ending the 16 year old trilateral pact that has supported roughly $2 trillion a year in trade between the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Trump once called the USMCA a historic win for American workers and farmers. Now he is the one tearing it apart, after months of piling tariffs onto Mexican and Canadian goods and insisting the U.S. doesn't need anything from either country.
"We don't need anything that Canada has. We don't need anything that Mexico has, but they need everything that we have," Trump told reporters in June. "And they have to treat us better."
Canada and Mexico are two of America's largest trading partners, together accounting for about a third of all U.S. exports. Farmers, ranchers, and small businesses across the country built their supply chains around a deal Trump himself signed, and now that deal is unraveling with no replacement in sight.
Economists say the uncertainty could drag on for months, leaving American workers to absorb the fallout of a fight Trump picked with his own trading partners.
