乔拜登邀请加拿大加入他的工业愿景

3 月 24 日,乔·拜登总统在渥太华与总理贾斯汀·特鲁多交谈时笑了起来。 总统提出了两国共同努力建立经济集团的愿景。肯尼霍尔斯顿/纽约时报/美联社 乔·拜登 (Joe Biden) 来告诉加拿大不要害怕他宏伟的绿色愿景,而是要加入其中。 美国降低通胀法案是美国总统经济战略的核心,它确实在加拿大商界播下了忧虑,因为它为绿色技术和工业提供大量补贴,这将吸引工厂到美国,并可能将工业从加拿大引走。 但这是拜登先生 将爱尔兰共和军视为北美经济集团的支柱,为两国提供为未来经济建立极具竞争力的工业基地的机会。 拜登先生谈到加拿大和美国共同建设供应链。 这正是加拿大商界想要听到的事情:拜登先生和他的前任唐纳德特朗普一样,都在谈论将工作机会带回美国,而且美国总统已经很久没有谈论北美一体化的问题了。有这么多热情的经济。 美中不足的是,爱尔兰共和军确实将大量资金投入到工业补贴中,加拿大仍然有理由担心它会吸引投资到边境以南。 在这场大规模的补贴游戏中竞争也意味着花费数十亿美元。 但拜登先生不得不说的显然是总理 贾斯汀·特鲁多 (Justin Trudeau) 也想听听。 你可以打赌,其中一些内容将与财政部长 Chrystia Freeland 下周二在提交 2023 年预算时所说的话非常接近。 届时自由党政府将提出自己的绿色产业补贴计划。 这两件事在几天之内就结合在一起并非偶然。 拜登先生的大产业战略有效地迫使自由党政府决定是否进入同一博弈。 答案是肯定的。 该决定的早期名人代言人是乔·拜登。 美国总统的访问为自由党即将提出的那种工业战略提供了高调、有力的论据。 它还将其视为北美未来经济合作的基石——以及我们时代的挑战。 拜登先生谈到了加拿大在竞争激烈的北美经济中的机遇。 他引用了约翰·肯尼迪 (John F. Kennedy) 将人送上月球的著名承诺,“不是因为这很容易,而是因为它们很难。” 他讲述了他给中国国家主席习近平描述美国的一个词——“可能性”——并说这适用于加拿大。 美国总统将他的经济计划作为联合计划出售给加拿大。 它来自一位总统,他与特朗普先生不同。 特朗普——演奏美加友谊的所有优美音符。 他热情洋溢。 在下议院,来自各方的许多议员似乎对他的访问感到震惊。 他也来宣布加拿大正在寻找的边境交易类型。 在当天晚些时候的新闻发布会上,拜登先生表示,他“不明白”为什么一些加拿大人将 IRA 视为对加拿大企业的威胁,并认为通过建立北美供应链,就业机会将流向加拿大。 美国和加拿大政府还同意成立一个能源转型工作组,以讨论清洁能源供应链中的协调问题。 但美国工业补贴的庞大规模根本不容忽视。 除了补贴半导体和高科技制造的 2800 亿美元的 … Read more
