加拿大以类似的美国支持和持续争端为由,为针对美国贸易索赔的1.2B木材援助辩护。 Canada defends $1.2B lumber aid against U.S. trade claims, citing similar U.S. support and ongoing disputes.

加拿大木材业为12亿美元的一揽子援助计划辩护,其中包括用于出口多样化的5亿美元和贷款担保的7亿美元,而美国则声称这构成不公平的补贴。 Canada’s lumber industry defends a $1.2 billion aid package, including $500 million for export diversification and $700 million in loan guarantees, against U.S. claims it constitutes an unfair subsidy. 美国认为,在目前有关反倾销税的争端达到35%以及第232条国家安全调查中,这种支持违反了贸易规则。 The U.S. argues the support violates trade rules amid ongoing disputes over anti-dumping duties reaching 35% and a Section 232 national security probe. 加拿大官员和工业界领导人反驳说,美国也有类似的政府支持,包括税收奖励和国家援助,并说援助是对他们所谓的不合理的贸易行动的必要反应。 Canadian officials and industry leaders counter that similar government support exists in the U.S., including tax incentives and state aid, and say the aid is a necessary response to what they call unjustified trade actions. 虽然加拿大撤销了对某些职责提出的两项法律挑战,但官员们说,这是一项战略行动,不是撤退,而且其他法律和外交努力还在继续。 While Canada has withdrawn two legal challenges to certain duties, officials say this is a strategic move, not a retreat, and that other legal and diplomatic efforts continue. 工业领导人仍然对迅速解决持怀疑态度,但希望达成更广泛的贸易协定,这凸显了在软木木材贸易方面长期存在的紧张局势。 Industry leaders remain skeptical of a quick resolution but hope for a broader trade agreement, highlighting long-standing tensions over softwood lumber trade.
