八点最热报 | 美国对加拿大的关税政策反复调整，美国总统特朗普昨天突然宣布要对加拿大进口到美国的钢铁和铝产品关税，从原本的25%翻倍提升至50%，以反制加拿大安大略省向输美的3个州征收25%电力附加费。不过在不到几个小时后，翻倍加征加拿大钢铝关税的决定，又出现了戏剧性逆转，白宫表示不会对加拿大钢铝征收50%关税。（主播：萧慧敏）

01:00After President Trump took office, the threat of tariff war against the United States has intensified the market's concerns about the U.S. economic downturn.
01:10However, Trump said in an interview with a reporter in the White House yesterday that market fluctuations have always been common, and he does not think the U.S. economy will fall.
01:30But as I said, I can do it the easy way or the hard way.
01:33The hard way to do it is exactly what I'm doing, but the results are going to be 20 times greater.
01:38On the other hand, Trump's tariff policy has repeatedly appeared.
01:41After the Canadian government announced that it would charge additional fees for electricity in the United States for three weeks,
01:46Trump then announced that he would double Canadian steel and aluminum imports from 25% to 50%.
01:54However, a few hours later, the White House issued a statement saying that Trump ultimately decided to maintain the 25% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum.
02:02At the same time, the Canadian government has also suspended plans to charge additional fees for electricity.
02:07Trump said that he respected the decision of the Canadian government and said that the governor of the province of Ontario, Mr. Ford, is a gentleman.
02:24So he has called and he said he's not going to do that.
02:27Canada denies that the suspension of electricity charges is a pressure on the U.S. to raise steel and aluminum tariffs.
02:33Governor of Ontario, Mr. Ford, said that he agrees that the two sides should not continue to threaten and dispute each other in the face of the White House's expulsion of olive oil.
02:41And I thought this was the right decision.
02:44They understand how serious we are about the electricity and the tariffs.
02:49And rather than going back and forth and and having threats to each other, we have both agreed that cooler heads prevail.
