US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Mexico has proposed matching Washington’s tariffs on China and urged Canada to do the same.

美國財政部長史考特‧貝森特說，墨西哥已提議對中國課徵與華府一致的關稅，並敦促加拿大也採取相同措施。

“I think it would be a nice gesture if the Canadians did it also, so in a way we could have ‘Fortress North America’ from the flood of Chinese imports,” Bessent said.

「我認為如果加拿大人也這樣做，將是很好的表態，所以在某種意義上，我們將有『北美堡壘』，以防止中國進口洪流，」貝森特說。

Bloomberg reported earlier that Mexican officials were willing to raise tariffs on Chinese goods and find ways to buy more from the US in a bid to avoid duties threatened by President Donald Trump.

彭博之前報導，墨西哥官員願意提高中國產品關稅，並尋求向美國購買更多產品，以期避免總統唐納‧川普威脅的關稅。

While it’s not clear exactly how matching tariff rates across North America would work, the impact on Mexico and Canada trade with China could be significant.

雖然不清楚北美一致的關稅稅率確切將如何運作，但對墨西哥及加拿大與中國之間的貿易衝擊可能是重大的。
