Trump Now Wants to Tariff Canada Over the Wildfires
ONP 요약
트럼프 대통령이 전국 방송 연설에서 중국이 미국 국민 2억2000만 명의 개인정보를 빼돌렸고 2020년 미국 대선에 영향을 미치려 했다고 주장했으며, 이를 뒷받침하는 비밀 정보를 공개하겠다고 발표했다. 반대 진영에서는 이런 주장이 거짓이고, 다가올 중간선거에서 유리한 입장을 만들기 위해 옛날 루머를 다시 꺼내는 정치 전략이라고 비판하고 있다.
진보 성향:음모론 부활 — 2020년 부정행위는 법원이 기각한 거짓이며, 중간선거를 앞두고 유권자 불신을 조장하는 정치 전략.
중도 성향:선거 개입 혐의 제기 — 트럼프가 중국의 유권자 파일 탈취와 선거 개입 시도를 주장하며 기밀정보를 기밀해제함.
보수 성향:국가 안보 위기 — 중국의 대규모 유권자 정보 탈취는 미국 민주주의의 심각한 안보 위협이며 투명한 공개가 필요함.
President Donald Trump and other Republicans are threatening retaliation against Canada for the wildfires ravaging Ontario, smoke from which has caused hazardous air quality in a significant swath of the United States this week.
On Truth Social Friday afternoon, the president accused Canada of “Willful Negligence,” vowing to add billions of dollars to existing tariffs against Canada to make up for the wildfires’ cost to the U.S.
“We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their Forests, and Brush therein,” the president wrote, “and the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air.” Trump vowed to contact Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Trump was joining a growing chorus of angry Republicans. Earlier Friday, GOP Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio proposed a bill to slap Canada with sanctions “in response to transboundary wildfire smoke affecting the United States,” which he called an “atrocity.” Before that, three Republican congressmen representing Michigan penned a letter warning Carney to take “immediate action.”
Pete Hoekstra, the U.S. ambassador to Canada who also hails from Michigan, has sung a more temperate tune. On Wednesday, he described the more than 800 ongoing Canadian wildfires as “a shared challenge” that “demands a shared response.”
“I commend the outstanding cooperation between the United States and Canada as we confront these fires together,” Hoekstra said in a statement. “Our two governments are monitoring and sharing information in real time—coordination that reflects our partnership at its best.… This challenge knows no borders.”
Some obvious wrinkles plague MAGA’s blame-Canada narrative: A primary driver of the devastating wildfires is climate change, which Trump dismisses as a “con job.” Research shows that the United States is culpable for $10 trillion in climate damages globally since 1990. And Trump has systematically rolled back federal clean air protections while in office. ...
