Nigel Redwood: 作为Revolution Race Cars的CEO，我亲身经历了关税带来的挑战。最初，关税是累积的，包括25%的汽车关税、25%的钢铁关税以及2.5%的原始关税，导致我们在此期间一辆车都卖不出去。后来，特朗普政府宣布只征收25%的单一关税，但美国的消费者仍然不得不支付更高的价格。关税政策严重影响了我们在美国市场的销售，给消费者带来了经济负担。 Christophe Bondy: 我认为美英贸易协议更多的是象征性的胜利，而非实质性的突破。虽然这对相关行业很重要，但它只是解决了一些关键的摩擦问题，与传统的国际贸易协定相比，范围非常有限。加拿大取消数字服务税是为了消除与美国贸易谈判的一个障碍，重启谈判并避免额外关税。然而，美国对钢铁和铝的关税仍然是一个主要问题，对加拿大和美国经济都产生了负面影响。我们需要共同努力，使我们的经济更具竞争力。
