Topics
Savannah Peters: 我报道了美国农场破产率的急剧上升,这与高投入成本、低农作物价格以及即将实施的关税有关。破产律师和农业经济学教授都证实了这一趋势,并指出未来的走向取决于关税的持续时间和政府的救济措施。 Rabel Chandio: 我认为农场破产率的进一步上升取决于对中国的关税持续时间以及美国政府是否会提供救济金,就像上次贸易战期间那样。 Chris Farrell: 我访问了加拿大安大略省桑德贝,一个与美国明尼苏达州接壤的边境城镇。尽管贸易关系紧张,当地居民仍然友好,并保持着密切的跨境往来。然而,特朗普政府的政策,特别是关于加拿大成为美国第51个州的言论,导致了加拿大人对美国的信任感下降。 Charlotte Robinson: 从商业角度来看,美加之间一直保持着密切的贸易关系。然而,特朗普政府的关税政策导致关系紧张。 Livio De Matteo: 由于对美国商品的抵制,加拿大零售商开始从其他国家进口商品,例如摩洛哥、埃及、墨西哥和秘鲁。 James Foltz: 加拿大企业正在积极寻找美国以外的供应链选择,以应对美国政策的不确定性和高昂的成本。他们正在努力减少对美国的依赖,并寻求与其他国家的贸易关系。一旦信任破裂,重建起来非常困难,加拿大企业正在建立新的贸易关系,不太可能回到之前的合作模式。 Chris Farrell: 加拿大企业正在积极采取行动,减少对美国经济的依赖。

In the months since President Donald Trump's re-election, a lot has changed between the United States and Canada. New import taxes and talk of Canada becoming the 51st state, for example. It all adds up to a strained relationship where Canadians feel both betrayed and uncertain about the future. Today, we're visiting Thunder Bay, Ontario to hear more. Plus, we're looking at why more farmers are struggling to pay back their debt.
