From The New York Times, I'm Michael Balmoro.
2
This is The Daily.
3
In recent days, the United States proposed new terms that were uneconomic, unfair, and called into question the reliability of any deal.
4
In a dramatic decision, the Prime Minister of Canada has abruptly cut off negotiations with the U.S.
5
and delivered a message to President Trump that virtually no other world leader before him has dared to convey.
6
That he'd rather engage in a prolonged and ugly trade war than submit to an unfair trade deal with this White House.
7
In short, they asked too much and they offered too little.
8
Today, my colleague, Canada Bureau Chief Matina Steves-Gridnev,
9
on the American demands that led to the breaking point and Canada's plan to withstand economic warfare with no end in sight.
10
Why does it feel like today Mark Carney is going to war?
11
Because we're attacked.
12
You're at war when you get attacked.
13
It's Tuesday, August 25th.
14
Matina, welcome back.
15
Always a pleasure.
16
So good to be back, Michael.
17
So I want to disclose something, which is that I have a cold, and as a result, I sound very gravelly.
18
And just for listeners who are public health-minded, I'm going to acknowledge that you and I are not in the same room.
19
You are in Canada.
20
That is correct.
21
I am in Toronto.
22
You're in New York.
23
You are so safe.
24
I am so safe.
25
I am sorry that you have a cold, and I hope you feel better soon.
26
Thank you.
27
But no one was infected in the making of this daily episode.
28
No one in Canada, certainly.
29
Nobody in Canada.
30
You have enough problems as it is.
31
So, Matina, it feels like Canada, the country you cover for The Times, has officially had enough.
32
They are done with the United States.
33
Yeah, I think that's a really good way of putting it.
34
I think both the Canadian government and, frankly, the majority of Canadians are really done with the Trump administration.
35
And that's why, over the past few days, you may have heard the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, come out and say,
36
we're done with talking, we're walking away, we're now in a trade war with the United States.
37
Right.
38
It had all the earmarks of divorce.
39
Sure feels that way.
40
Maybe if we're going to be optimistic, let's say trial separation.
41
But in all seriousness, I've been really closely following President Trump's commercial policy, economic policy with other countries,
42
his fights with allies, and how so many of America's allies have fallen into line for him.
43
And Mark Carney has decided to do something totally different.
44
He's taking a massive bet, but he's just decided to walk away from President Trump
45
and take the risk of enduring President Trump's economic and political targeting
46
because he feels that President Trump is not going to make a good and fair and lasting deal with him.
47
The pain and the terms are not worth it, and he's prepared to risk the country's economy on it.
48
I mean, if you had to summarize the bet that Prime Minister Carney is taking here, how would you describe it?
49
I think Mark Carney is betting that his policies to make Canada stronger at home
50
and build Canada's relationships with other countries in Asia and in Europe
51
and to grow its economy and trade relationships are enough to keep Canada afloat and keep Canada growing,
52
even as he turns his back on the United States.
53
Well, just explain how Carney gets to the point where he's willing to risk the entire Canadian economy and,
54
as you say, do something that no other world leader really has been willing to do, which is to stand up to President Trump and say,
55
basically, go fly a kite.
56
I'm just not even going to participate in this game.
57
Because I think most people have lost track of exactly how it is in this very bumpy trade relationship.
58
We got to this very public and potentially catastrophic breaking point.
59
I mean, as soon as President Trump comes back into office, I'm sure you'll remember because it wasn't really that long ago was like 18 months ago.
60
He starts this policy of tariffs against basically every country under the sun, including, maybe you'll remember this,
61
this island that is only inhabited by penguins.
62
I remember it from you.
63
And the Trump administration has been clear that ideologically they're doing this
64
because they believe this is the way to bring jobs and revenues back home,
65
especially in key industries like the auto industry or the steel industry that they feel globalization has weakened.
66
And Canada is very directly targeted, but quickly you see many countries,
67
smaller, bigger, traditional allies, let's say Britain, the European Union, countries in Asia,
68
come one after the other and make concessions in exchange for small improvements to their tariff regimes, like mini deals.
69
But Canada holds out under Carney.
70
And Carney sort of speaks about that in a way that's much bigger than the economy.
71
And he develops a sort of doctrine, if you will, especially through this fetid speech he gave in Davos in January this year.
72
For decades, an American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system,
73
collective security, and support for frameworks for resolving disputes.
74
This bargain no longer works.
75
Where he sort of frames this as a matter of survival
76
in an era where Trump is just changing what America does in the world.
77
And as a result, many countries are drawing the same conclusions, that they must develop greater strategic autonomy.
78
And he says for our country to survive to survive and for your countries to survive, all those countries that have long depended on the United States,
79
we need to band together and we need to look out for ourselves outside the US.
80
Let me be direct.
81
We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.
82
And he says, nostalgia is not a policy.
83
It's over.
84
We all need to adapt to this new reality.
85
And Carney just holds out.
86
And among America's major allies, he holds out by far the longest.
87
And just remind us what holding out against a pretty well-known vindictive President Trump
88
when it comes to trade wars means for Canada over these past 18 months.
89
So for sure, Canada's been hurting over the last 18 months.
90
President Trump has taken hefty tariffs against really core Canadian industries, steel, aluminum, softwood, lumber, autos.
91
And Canada is almost in recession, despite huge efforts to keep it growing and to keep the economy going.
92
But Carney's decided
93
that he's going to stick to a policy of retaliatory tariffs the only country to do this other than China.
94
And he decides at certain points to roll those back a little bit.
95
But overall, Canada keeps those policies in place.
96
And one thing that really distinguishes Carney's approach to
97
that of other countries is that he's not going to the White House seeking marginal improvements on specific tariffs.
98
Instead, he's holding out for a big discussion on the whole thing and improving everything in their relationship.
99
He definitely doesn't want to be seen to be begging for minor concessions.
100
He thinks it's extremely injurious for the Canadian economy.
101
It's bad for the Canadian psychology.
102
And it's bad for him personally to be seen going back to the White House cap and hat, like so many other leaders have.
103
And so he tries to pick the right moment to approach the White House and say, all right, this is a good time.
104
Why don't we sit down and really make a better deal for both our countries?
105
Concessions on both sides and something we can both go home and feel good about.
106
And that moment, the right moment, according to Carney, comes just a few weeks ago toward the end of July,
107
when Trump threatens more tariffs on Canada, tariffs on several slightly odd Canadian goods like cheese,
108
hockey sticks, feathers were on that list.
109
A bit weird.
110
Feathers?
111
Yes.
112
Like for pillows?
113
Oh, hats?
114
I don't know.
115
But he finds that that moment is a good opening to sit down
116
and the Canadians go to the US side and say, okay, let's talk.
117
Let's see if we can make a deal.
118
But not a little deal that just, you know, scraps those tariffs you're threatening us with.
119
A real deal that improves the general terms of our relationship in a lasting way.
120
And how do those talks go?
121
I mean, at first, it seems like they go really well.
122
The U.S side is open.
123
President Trump, our sources tell us, tells his officials, all right, go see if you can cut an agreement with the Canadians.
124
And a Canadian delegation goes to Washington and they try to work out solutions to all their disputes and roll back tariffs.
125
And the Canadian side offers lots of concessions.
126
Such as?
127
For example, the Trump administration had been very upset that Canadian provinces,
128
most of the country really, had pulled U.S liquor off of the shelves and it was banned from sale.
129
You couldn't get a California white in Canada, really, Michael, a tragedy.
130
How could you even make it through the day?
131
I know, right?
132
And this is not a ton of money.
133
It's like a $1 billion industry or so for Canada to import this stuff.
134
But it's a big deal because it's a real gesture of resistance.
135
And the Trump administration just wants that policy revoked.
136
And so the Canadians are like, okay, for the right trade deal, we will do that.
137
They also want to change the quotas of American cheese that Canadians allow into the Canadian market.
138
Canada has quite a protectionist system for its dairy products.
139
And so the Canadians are like, okay, let's talk about it.
140
This is something we may be able to work things out on.
141
And so I think there's a lot of goodwill there.
142
Both sides told us that talks were happening in good faith despite the general negative atmosphere.
143
And they make progress.
144
So when do things go so sideways?
145
Really, last week.
146
And as ever, it all kind of falls apart in the last moment.
147
It really felt at the beginning of last week that things were close to a positive outcome.
148
I mean, it got so far down the line that President Trump sort of posted that there was a deal, all caps, exclamation mark.
149
And the Canadians were a bit more circumspect, but they were also positive.
150
Lots of progress has been made.
151
The work continues.
152
And Trump gave them an extension to keep talking for three
153
extra days all the way to midnight Friday just to seal that deal.
154
And our sources, together with Anna Swanson, our colleague who covers trade, have given us a really detailed,
155
granular look into what happened in those 48 hours up until the very last minute where everything kind of fell apart.
156
And what's really fascinating is that if you put the Canadian account
157
and the U.S account from the officials we spoke to side by side, they're not really in disagreement.
158
But fundamentally, the Americans thought that what they had put on the table for Canada was a really good deal, the best deal in the world.
159
They had made lots of concessions.
160
But for the Canadians, it just simply wasn't good enough.
161
And the reason for that were a number of really fundamental issues on which Canada just was not prepared to compromise on.
162
Like what?
163
Let me give you a few examples.
164
One really important element
165
that came in quite late in the game was an American
166
insistence on having a say on the terms of Canada's trade agreements with other countries.
167
The US basically wanted Canada to follow the exact tariff policy
168
that it would take out on other countries with its own partners.
169
To make that more concrete for you, Canada is working on a trade deal with Brazil.
170
And if the Trump administration in a few months wanted to put on new tariffs on Brazilian steel, Canada would be committed to doing the exact same thing.
171
That seems very unusual in the sense that it suddenly seems like the U.S is asking Canada, and I'm being a little facetious here,
172
but to basically operate as a 51st state to force U.S trade policy on another country is to take
173
that country's ability to negotiate trade deals away.
174
And certainly that is how the Canadian side saw it.
175
They saw it as an encroachment into their sovereignty,
176
particularly at the time where they're trying to make trade deals with other countries to help their economy because their closest ally, the U.S., has slapped tariffs on them.
177
Take it away from them.
178
And so they find that unacceptable.
179
Another really specific issue that came up that we discussed with our sources was
180
that the United States wanted Canada to remove certain laws that require U.S streaming companies operating in Canada to favor Canadian content.
181
Shows that are made in Canada, including shows that are in the French language and made in Quebec.
182
Now, this is just the holy grail of Canadian politics, the protection and promotion of the French language,
183
because it is the language spoken in Quebec and in other provinces.
184
And it's just a foundational thing in the bilingual of Canada.
185
Very, very important.
186
The concession that was being asked would sort of translate, for example, in, let's say,
187
Netflix surfacing a Quebecois show higher up on your screen
188
if you were based in Canada when you went online to watch a show.
189
Which makes a certain amount of sense.
190
It's also what the U.S streamers do in the European Union, where they sort of tailor the offering promoted for the local market.
191
So the Americans were saying to the Canadians,
192
we don't want any streaming service to show that kind of preference for French language, Canadian content.
193
In streaming, we want you to operate, again, more like the U.S.
194
They didn't say anything about the French language.
195
They just said, we think this is a matter of free speech
196
and no one should be telling our streamers what they put where and in what order.
197
Interesting.
198
Right?
199
But for the Canadians, this was vital.
200
And if nothing else, I think both sides kind of agree that the U.S just didn't have a lot of regard,
201
didn't have a lot of time for that kind of sensitivity, which was clearly so, so important to the Canadian side.
202
And one of the real points of contention that we reported on exclusively, and it hasn't been reported previously in these talks,
203
was that the United States wanted Canada to cancel a program
204
that he had put in place to help its industries suffering from U.S tariffs called Buy Canadian,
205
which basically told Canadian government entities to prioritize buying Canadian products for public sector projects like,
206
you know, Buy Canadian Steel to build this bridge which actually is a program that exists in many countries, including the United States.
207
And the U.S asked Canada to cancel this program without offering to remove the tariffs
208
that the program was supposed to be sort of countering at home.
209
And I think that really irked Canadians.
210
And the math was not adding up for the Canadian side.
211
They were constantly running the numbers on the proposed improved U.S tariffs on some of their goods.
212
I'm talking steel, aluminum, autos.
213
And they kept going back and saying, well, you have to improve this because it doesn't matter if you cut your tariffs on SUVs to 15 percent.
214
Because under this regime, we're soon not going to have an industry making SUVs because it's not enough.
215
So Canadians determined that this deal was still going to cost them key industries,
216
like their automaking industry, and therefore was not tolerable.
217
That's right.
218
I think they could see that perhaps there would be some relief in the short run, but still not enough to make those industries viable.
219
And ultimately, too, there was something that really highlighted the lack of trust underpinning these talks.
220
And that was that the Canadian side repeatedly asked for some assurances that the new tariffs wouldn't be revised,
221
that basically that the U.S would stick to its agreement.
222
And officials told us that at no point did the U.S make any such commitment.
223
In fact, they insisted that they retain all the power to change their tariff policy,
224
even on goods covered by this agreement against Canada, at will.
225
So, objectively speaking, I'm not a trade expert, but I'm listening to you carefully.
226
This is not sounding like a good deal for Canada.
227
It is kind of impinging on its ability to do trade deals on its sovereignty.
228
It's potentially putting key industries out of business.
229
And it is implying, if not explicitly stating, that it could all be torn up by President Trump at any given moment and made worse.
230
I think that's a fair summary, and I think that's definitely how the Canadians see it.
231
The American negotiators would say, that's still the best deal we're offering anyone right now, so you should take it.
232
And you should say thank you.
233
But by quarter to 11 Friday, Mark Carney has decided that he's not going to go for it.
234
And we find out that he's walked away.
235
Good morning, everyone.
236
Bonjour tout le monde.
237
And the next morning, he addresses the Canadian public in this sort of quietly seething, but really, really resolved press conference.
238
For over a year, Canada has worked intensively
239
and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal.
240
We've been pragmatic, patient and persistent.
241
And he says, we tried, but I had to walk away from a bad deal.
242
We were not prepared to compromise Canada's sovereignty or to undermine our key industries.
243
And he says, we've been attacked and we're going to retaliate.
244
We're going to take out more counter tariffs against the United States.
245
The gap between partnership and competitor, unfortunately, has remained too wide in recent days.
246
We cannot accept what they've offered, and we will not give what they've asked.
247
So, he basically puts the country on a war footing.
248
We'll be right back.
249
And Tina, what exactly is Prime Minister Carney's plan for what is now looking like a no-holds-bar,
250
very prolonged potentially trade war against the U.S.?
251
And how does he ever see it working out well for Canada?
252
You earlier started to hint a little bit at his strategy,
253
but just talk us through the details of what you call the bet that he is attempting here.
254
Well, I think, Michael, he's going to try and do two things.
255
The one is really focus at the economy at home, trying to protect those hurting from those tariffs and build up the economy.
256
And the other is focus in a laser sharp way on ways in
257
which Canada can inflict pain on politically important places in the American economy through the counter tariffs that he's taking out.
258
Okay, let's talk about those one by one, starting with how he can protect Canada's economy
259
and Canadians from what will be the probably outsized impacts within Canada of ratcheting up a trade war.
260
Yeah, so he's already said there's going to be pain.
261
He's under no illusions that these tariffs and counter tariffs are going to hurt Canadians.
262
In fact, he said so explicitly in his address on Saturday, but he also said we're going to do whatever it takes to protect you.
263
And so he's planning public spending to support the industries and the workers that are going to be hurting.
264
He's not detailed what that's going to look like.
265
I'm speculating here, but it could be bailouts or injections of cash.
266
In some of these businesses, it could look like employment security schemes.
267
It could look like improved borrowing terms or tax relief.
268
But he has said he's going to be there
269
and he's going to put the country's budget behind those pain points in the Canadian economy economy.
270
That's really interesting because that does sound like war footing.
271
The economy will be oriented, it sounds like, around buttressing industry, borrowing potentially large sums of money to help something like the auto industry.
272
I mean, we've seen bailouts in the US.
273
They're very expensive, but they can work.
274
Yeah, for sure.
275
And especially in crisis moments like this.
276
And not to carry on too far with the war metaphor,
277
but he will also continue looking for allies outside the United States to support the Canadian economy.
278
Just in a few weeks' time, in mid-September, he's organizing a massive investment conference.
279
I'm talking the biggest funds, the biggest banks, the biggest sovereign funds in the world, coming to Toronto to find ways to invest into the Canadian economy.
280
Prime Minister Carney is continuing his travel globally to cut new trade deals.
281
I think he's due in Brazil soon.
282
He's talking with Mercosur, the Latin American trading bloc.
283
And that doesn't necessarily mean these entities would be taking a position against the United States,
284
but they would be supporting new sources of revenue and investment for the Canadian economy.
285
How supportive, based on your reporting, are Canadians of Carney's approach to this, the decision to walk away from these talks
286
and their confidence in his ability to protect them from the fallout of doing that?
287
I mean, extremely supportive.
288
Right now in Canada, Mr. Carney basically walks on water.
289
A poll released on Sunday by Angus Reid, a nonpartisan independent Canadian public opinion company,
290
shows that 76% of Canadians support the prime minister's decision to walk away from the negotiating table.
291
That's huge.
292
That is many, many more Canadians than voted for him, right?
293
So this isn't a partisan issue anymore.
294
Right.
295
76% of a country basically never agrees on anything anymore.
296
Absolutely.
297
But it's worth saying it will only go downhill from here, right?
298
In the same poll, actually, Canadians expressed a lot of concern about their livelihoods, about the economy, about the industry,
299
and about the country's continued safety when it's in such an intense antagonism with the United States.
300
And so I think as that pain starts to bite, that support is going to start coming down.
301
And the prime minister is aware
302
that there's a window in time for him to make things better
303
and really demonstrate to the Canadian public that he knows what he's doing.
304
I want to return to what you described earlier as Carney's
305
plans to use retaliatory trade tactics to target politically sensitive areas in the U.S.
306
I'm guessing that Carney knows well that this is a midterm election year in the U.S.
307
He understands how that works.
308
What might that retaliation look like?
309
And what is he hoping it leads to in the U.S.?
310
Right.
311
I think the prime minister has been really careful.
312
He doesn't want to antagonize the American public.
313
He believes the American public can be an ally for Canada in this situation.
314
Because most Americans don't really understand why Trump is targeting Canada.
315
But he does believe
316
that he has a window of opportunity to take out retaliatory tariffs against the United States focused on areas,
317
mostly in red states and industries, that are going to then go to President Trump and ask him to stop it with Canada.
318
And cry uncle and say, do whatever it takes to stop this.
319
What would be an example of the kind of retaliatory action
320
that Carney could take that would lead to that kind of conversation with Trump in theory?
321
I'll give you an example of something we've already spoken about today, which is the ban of the sale of U.S alcohol products in Canada.
322
We know that this has been very, very painful, for example, you know, for bourbon distillers in Kentucky.
323
So we know
324
that those industries have been in the administration's ear asking for the fight to be resolved
325
and for the sale of their goods in Canada to be restored.
326
And I think that's what Carney's hoping multiplied.
327
And the Canadian officials are doing their homework.
328
Where are industries based that are going to hurt Trump?
329
So, for example, the prime minister mentioned a number of other categories of products, including household products that we know are predominantly made in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky.
330
So that's really what they're looking for.
331
They're looking for specific categories of products that are going to inflict pain in specific Republican pockets of support.
332
It feels, Matina, like the wager Carney is making is grounded in a deeper truth.
333
Because while Canadians overwhelmingly support Carney pulling out of these trade talks based on that poll you just mentioned, polling here in the U.S shows
334
that a clear majority of Americans disapprove of Trump's trade war against Canada and more broadly of his entire
335
approach to trade in the second term.
336
So Carney's logic would seem to be that he can rally Canadians to make the sacrifices required to get through this,
337
and they will support him because they think it's righteous.
338
And if he can keep wounding President Trump politically, where it matters in the U.S., there's not going to be as much support for his agenda.
339
But where that would seem to get tricky really fast is that it's probably hard to do that without antagonizing Americans, which you said was Carney's goal.
340
How can you hurt American industry without hurting the Americans who work in those industries?
341
Yeah, for sure.
342
And I don't think that Mark Carney is motivated to not hurt Republicans.
343
He's acknowledged that these counter tariffs are going to hurt Americans as well as Canadians.
344
He said we are taking these measures reluctantly.
345
We didn't start this.
346
He keeps saying this.
347
This isn't our war.
348
We got attacked, but we got to fight.
349
And so I think in that context, he wants to take that fight to the people who voted for Trump.
350
And there are big, big tools he could use to inflict pain on the U.S that he's not going to use.
351
He has said he's not going to use, even though he's under pressure to do so.
352
The most important example of that is Canadian exports of energy.
353
Canada is the single biggest source of imports for energy in the United States.
354
There is an absolute dependence on these products.
355
But imposing tariffs or restrictions on those exports to the U.S would hurt all Americans in some ways,
356
feed into this spiral of cost of living crisis in the United States because of the oil crisis in the Middle East.
357
And Carney doesn't want to do that because he doesn't want to turn the whole American public against him, particularly at a moment where a lot of Americans, I think, think he's doing the right thing.
358
I'm just trying to understand what Carney's endgame is.
359
If he's successful in punishing industries in Republican states,
360
and if he's successful in winning American voters to his side, where does
361
that ultimately get him in a punishing trade war led by
362
a president who often is unmoved by appeals from either industry or consumers?
363
I think two things.
364
I think it helps him fund some of the measures back home
365
because those tariffs are going to bring in revenues for the Canadian budget.
366
But I also think it creates an atmosphere around the cause of Canada in the United States.
367
And he stays firm.
368
He stays resolved.
369
We know President Trump may be angry with him right now, but appreciates a strong guy across him at the table.
370
And he tries to take that to President Trump at a different moment in the future.
371
But there is no doubt that Carney's playing the long game here.
372
If he was playing the short game, he would have taken the deal on the table on Friday.
373
Well, I'm glad you're thinking about Carney because that's where I want to end the conversation.
374
We spend so much time on the show analyzing President Trump's behavior in these kinds of conflicts.
375
And I'm glad that we're focused on Carney
376
because that's how I want to end this conversation with what you think you and frankly,
377
all of Canada is learning about Mark Carney from the way that he's handled this conflict.
378
And it occurs to me that when he gave that speech in Davos many months ago,
379
he was applauded by world leaders for declaring a kind of independence from the U.S.
380
But those world leaders, basically none of them replicated his actual conduct of standing up to the U.S.
381
He's quite alone in doing that and in having the backbone or the delusions, depending on which side you're on, that this will work out.
382
So what would you say you're taking from how he's handled this?
383
Yeah, I mean, I think it's important to remind people, Mark Carney was not a retail politician until a year and a half ago, right?
384
He's a kind of career economist.
385
So when he came to Canada age 60, he came home to do this.
386
And I think he launched a really confident alternative vision for Canada.
387
A Canada that would be independent of the United States.
388
It would export all this incredible resources that it has.
389
And it would not be that kind of stereotypical kind of like little cousin to the U.S meek and just polite.
390
And it's a generational shift. But it's a gamble.
391
if it takes too long to implement and if it just isn't enough to sustain the Canadian economy, it will be a very, very serious problem.
392
On the other hand, though, if it does work and if Canada is able to stand on its own two feet in a much more substantial way,
393
and particularly by forging these relationships with other countries, what a powerful thing that will be too.
394
And what an incredible sort of thing for the rest of the world to look at, it will mean that he took that risk and it paid off.
395
But that is a very long-term project and the trade war is happening today.
396
What you're describing sounds not just like an economic project, but a project to redefine the entire Canadian psyche.
397
Yeah, I think he's doing nation building and identity building in Canada
398
and he's asking Canadians to see the country the way he sees it.
399
And so I think it is fascinating.
400
It's not something we see a lot in the West.
401
We don't see that happen.
402
But it also right now means standing up to the superpower next door.
403
And I think that's really, really hard.
404
Well, Matina, thank you very much.
405

Here's what else you need to know today.
412
On Monday, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to move forward for now, with plans to restrict mail-in voting before the midterm elections.
413
But it cautioned that the order was preliminary, and not a final decision on whether Trump's actions on mail-in ballots will be lawful.
414
The court's three liberal justices dissented on the emergency ruling, with one of them warning that the decision would inject,
415
quote, chaos and uncertainty into the midterm elections.
416
And the Trump administration launched what it said was its most wide-ranging assault yet on Iran's economy,
417
as it replaces military attacks, which paused nearly a month ago, with financial attacks.
418
In the Second World War,
419
D-Day marked the historic beginning of a campaign with our allies to target and drive the enemy from its positions,
420
including those in third countries.
421
Today in that same spirit,
422
we are launching an economic onslaught against Iran's financial connections around the globe.
423
Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said that the effort would begin with new sanctions against 60 entities
424
that enable Iran to obtain weapons and sell oil, and suggested that the ultimate aim was the collapse of the Iranian government.
425
To the ordinary soldiers supporting this regime, as more and more of your paychecks stop or are supposedly just delayed,
426
ask whether your commanders are leading your country to triumph or to ruin.
427
And recall that the Berlin Wall fell when ordinary soldiers decided not to shoot at their own people.
428
But it's unclear how much impact the new policies will have.
429
Previous rounds of sanctions have already crippled much of Iran's economy,
430
and yet the government there has repeatedly found ways to finance its military.

السيناريو
في الفيديو، يتناول الحوار موقف كندا من العلاقات التجارية مع الولايات المتحدة في ظل إدارة ترامب. يتحدث المتحدثون عن قرار رئيس وزراء كندا مارك كارني بقطع المفاوضات مع الولايات المتحدة بسبب الشروط غير العادلة التي عرضتها الإدارة الأمريكية. يبدو أن كندا قد سئمت من طريقة تعامل الولايات المتحدة مع حلفائها، وقررت اتخاذ موقف صارم من خلال الدخول في حرب تجارية بدلاً من قبول اتفاقية غير مواتية. هذه الديناميكية بين الدول تعكس كيف يمكن أن تؤثر السياسة التجارية على العلاقات الدولية.
مجموعات الكلمات والعبارات المفيدة
- حرب تجارية - Trade war
- شروط غير عادلة - Unfair terms
- علاقات دولية - International relations
