川普關於「第 51 州」加拿大的談話為何被視為極其嚴肅
He also brought up something much more fundamental.
He told Mr. Trudeau that he did not believe that the treaty that demarcates the border between the two countries was valid and that he wants to revise the boundary. He offered no further explanation.
The border treaty Mr. Trump referred to was established in 1908 and finalized the international boundary between Canada, then a British dominion, and the United States.
Mr. Trump also mentioned revisiting the sharing of lakes and rivers between the two nations, which is regulated by a number of treaties, a topic he’s expressed interest about in the past.
Canadian officials took Mr. Trump’s comments seriously, not least because he had already publicly said he wanted to bring Canada to its knees. In a news conference on Jan. 7, before being inaugurated, Mr. Trump, responding to a question by a New York Times reporter about whether he was planning to use military force to annex Canada, said he planned to use “economic force.”
The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
在這些通話中，川普總統列舉了他對兩國貿易關係的一系列不滿，包括加拿大對乳製品行業的保護、美國銀行在加拿大開展業務所面臨的困難以及川普認為不公平的加拿大消費稅，因為這會使美國商品更加昂貴。
他也提出了一些更基本的觀點。
他告訴杜魯道，他不認為劃定兩國邊界的條約有效，他希望修改邊界。他沒有提供進一步的解釋。
川普提到的邊界條約於1908年簽訂，最後確定了當時還是英國自治領的加拿大與美國之間的國際邊界。
川普也提到重新討論兩國之間的湖泊和河流共享問題，這受到一系列條約的管理，他過去曾對這個主題表示興趣。
加拿大官員認真對待川普的言論，尤其是因為他已經公開表示要讓加拿大屈服。川普在1月7日就職前的記者會上回答《紐約時報》記者關於他是否計劃使用軍事力量吞併加拿大的問題時表示，他計劃使用「經濟力量」。
白宮沒有回應置評請求。
The Star, a Canadian newspaper, has reported that Mr. Trump mentioned the 1908 border treaty in the early February call and other details from the conversation. And the Financial Times has reported that there are discussions in the White House about removing Canada from a crucial intelligence alliance among five nations, attributing those to a senior Trump adviser.
過去幾個月，川普和杜魯道之間的裂痕以及川普對加拿大的激進計畫已逐漸顯現。
根據加拿大報紙《星報》報道，川普在 2 月初的通話中提到了 1908 年邊界條約以及談話中的其他細節。英國《金融時報》報道稱，白宮正在討論將加拿大從五國關鍵情報聯盟中剔除出去，川普的一名高級顧問是其中一名討論者。
The persistent social media references to Canada as the 51st state and Mr. Trudeau as its governor had begun to grate both inside the Canadian government and more broadly.
While Mr. Trump’s remarks could all be bluster or a negotiating tactic to pressure Canada into concessions on trade or border security, the Canadian side no longer believes that to be so.
And the realization that the Trump administration was taking a closer and more aggressive look at the relationship, one that tracked with those threats of annexation, sank in during subsequent calls between top Trump officials and Canadian counterparts.
One such call was between Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick — who at the time had not yet been confirmed by the Senate — and Canada’s finance minister, Dominic LeBlanc. The two men had been communicating regularly since they had met at Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s home and club in Florida, during Mr. Trudeau’s visit there in early December.
Mr. Lutnick called Mr. LeBlanc after the leaders had spoken on Feb. 3, and issued a devastating message, according to several people familiar with the call: Mr. Trump, he said, had come to realize that the relationship between the United States and Canada was governed by a slew of agreements and treaties that were easy to abandon.
Mr. Trump was interested in doing just that, Mr. Lutnick said.
He wanted to eject Canada out of an intelligence-sharing group known as the Five Eyes that also includes Britain, Australia and New Zealand.
He wanted to tear up the Great Lakes agreements and conventions between the two nations that lay out how they share and manage Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario.
And he is also reviewing military cooperation between the two countries, particularly the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
社群媒體不斷提到加拿大是美國第 51 個州，杜魯道是該州州長，開始引起加拿大政府內部甚至更廣泛的不滿。
儘管川普的言論可能只是虛張聲勢，也可能是一種談判策略，旨在向加拿大施壓，迫使其在貿易或邊境安全問題上做出讓步，但加拿大方面已不再相信這一點。
隨後，川普政府高層官員與加拿大同行的通話中，人們意識到川普政府正在以更密切、更積極的態度審視兩國關係，這種關係伴隨著吞併威脅。
其中一次通話是美國商務部長霍華德·盧特尼克（Howard Lutnick）與加拿大財政部長多米尼克·勒布朗（Dominic LeBlanc）之間的通話，盧特尼克當時尚未得到參議院的批准。去年 12 月初，杜魯道訪問佛羅裡達州期間，兩人在川普的家兼俱樂部海湖莊園會面，此後，兩人一直保持著定期溝通。
據幾位知情人士透露，2 月 3 日兩國領導人會談結束後，盧特尼克給勒布朗打了電話，並發表了令人震驚的信息：他說，川普已經意識到，美國和加拿大之間的關係受到一系列很容易被拋棄的協議和條約的支配。
盧特尼克說，川普先生對此很感興趣。
他希望將加拿大排除在情報共享組織「五眼聯盟」之外，該組織還包括英國、澳洲和紐西蘭。
