美国与墨西哥达成新的贸易协定

The US has reached a trade agreement with Mexico that would pave the way for overhauling the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), US President Donald Trump announced last Monday.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普上周一宣布，美国已与墨西哥达成贸易协定，这将为修订《北美自由贸易协定》铺平道路。

"We're going to call it the US-Mexico trade agreement," Trump said at an event in the Oval Office with outgoing Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto joining by phone call.

特朗普在椭圆形办公室的一个活动上表示：“我们将称此协议为《美墨贸易协定》”。当日即将卸任的墨西哥总统恩里克·佩纳·涅托并不在场，他是通过电话参与的。

"We'll get rid of the name NAFTA. It has a bad connotation because the US was hurt very badly by NAFTA for many years," he said.

特朗普称：“我们将弃用《北美自由贸易协定》的名称，因为多年来美国深受其害，该名称有着很不好的内涵。”

Pena Nieto insisted during the phone call that Canada also should be included in a final deal.

通话期间，佩纳·涅托要求，加拿大也应加入最终协定。

"It is our wish, Mr. President, that now Canada will also be able to be incorporated in all this. And I assume that they are going to carry out negotiations on the sensitive bilateral issues between Canada and the United States," he said through a translator.

他通过一名翻译表示：“主席先生，我们的愿望是，现在加拿大也将能够加入这一协定。我认为他们将就加拿大和美国之间敏感的双边问题进行谈判。”

Trump said he would speak with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a little while and hoped to resume negotiations with Canada soon.

特朗普表示，随后将与加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多对话，希望很快和加拿大恢复谈判。

"One way or another we'll have a deal with Canada. It'll either be a tariff on cars or it'll be a negotiated deal," he said. "Frankly, a tariff on cars is a much easier way to go. But perhaps the other would be much better for Canada."

他说道：“无论如何，美国会与加拿大达成协议。我们要么对从加拿大进口的汽车征收关税，要么会在谈判后达成某种协议。坦率地讲，征收进口汽车关税要简单得多，但对加拿大而言，与美国达成协议肯定会带来更多好处。”
