特朗普最近烦心事一堆，国内外的压力压得他频频发火，自己的不少战略都没了效果，尤其是和中加的博弈里，最拿手的加税手段彻底失灵，还引来一堆国 际反弹。 看到加拿大和中国签了新的电动车合作协议，特朗普更是气炸，觉得自己被背叛了，立马挥起关税大棒威胁加拿大，可对方压根不买账。 如今欧洲、加拿大还在和中国深化经济合作，特朗普的强硬形象也被狠狠打脸。 特朗普的关税大棒彻底失效，他还能挽回颓势吗？ 事情的起因是加拿大总理贾斯廷·特鲁多，决定与中国达成一项电动车合作协议，允许中国电动车进入加拿大市场，并大幅降低相关关税。 这一举动明显与美国的利益发生冲突，特朗普看到这一消息时，愤怒不已，立即在社交平台上批评加拿大是在"自我毁灭"，甚至断言这份协议将会成为"历 史上最糟糕的协议之一"，并声称中国正在"接管"加拿大。 长期以来，特朗普一直认为北美的经济格局应该由美国主导，而加拿大不但没有与美国一道对中国采取强硬立场，反而主动接受了中国的电动车，显然触动 了特朗普的"敏感神经"。 他认为，这不仅是对美国利益的挑战，甚至是在公开拆他的台。 特朗普一直以强硬的"关税大棒"著称，曾一度凭借这种手段压制中国及其盟友。 然而，近年来这种策略 ...
