一 | 8月26日消息，据新华社报道，加拿大联邦政府8月25日宣布，将对价值276亿加元（约合200亿美元）的700多种美国商品加征反制关税，同时推出总额75亿加元的企业和工人援助计划，反制措施将于9月8日正式生效。

二 | LONDON -- A crane on tracks was removing a much-loved tree Thursday from the place near the Roman landmark of Hadrian’s Wall in northeastern England where the sycamore was cut down two weeks ago in an apparent act of vandalism.The National Trust, which seeks to protect England’s heritage and natural landscapes, said the crane will lift the often-photographed and painted tree, which some believe to have been around 300 years old, from where it lies near the delicate and now-damaged wall. Andrew Poad, the site’s general manager for the National Trust, said it was necessary to move the tree “both to preserve the world-famous monument that is Hadrian’s Wall, and to make the site safe again for visitors.”Though the 50-foot (15-meter) tree is too big to move in one piece, experts hope the trunk can be kept in large sections in order to leave future options open on what could be done. The stump, which could generate new shoots, will be kept in place and is currently behind a protective barrier. Seeds have also been collected to see if they could be used to propagate new saplings.“We’ve explored every option for moving the tree and while it isn’t possible to lift it in one go, as the tree is multi-stemmed with a large crown, we have aimed to keep the trunk in as large sections as possible, to give us flexibility on what the tree becomes in future," Poad said.Northumbria Police arrested a 16-year-old boy and a man in his 60s after the tree was felled a fortnight ago. They were released on bail pending further inquiries into what a chief detective described as the “senseless destruction” of the tree.The tree was one of the main landmarks along Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built nearly 2,000 years ago, when Britain was part of the Roman Empire, to guard its northwestern frontier. For generations, walkers have paused to admire and photograph the tree at Sycamore Gap, which was made famous when it appeared in Kevin Costner’s 1991 film “Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves.”The tree, which was cut down near the base of its trunk, could grow again, experts said, though they cautioned that it would never be the same.The National Trust has received thousands of messages about the tree, with advice on what to do with the stump and suggestions of what could be done with the felled tree, including making benches from the wood, a sculpture or souvenirs to sell.There will be a public consultation about what happens next at the site.。

三 | 根据加拿大财政部公布的清单，反制关税集中在钢铝、乳制品、家电、农业设备、纸浆造纸、塑料和电子产品等领域，税率分为15%、25%和50%三档。大多数美国钢铝制品关税将从25%提高到50%，奶酪等乳制品、鱼类海鲜及部分钢铝衍生品征收25%，针对美国汽车的现有反制关税继续维持。被课以50%重税的还有家具、高尔夫球杆、服装、智能手机、显示器、游戏机和摩托车等品类。加拿大联邦官员表示，受反制影响的美国商品总额与美方加征50%关税涉及的商品价值相当，实现等额对等反制。

四 | 据悉，这场关税对轰的导火索是8月21日美加贸易谈判在最后一刻破裂。美方随即于8月22日对约200亿美元加拿大商品加征50%关税，涉及葡萄酒、水泥、冰球器材等产品。 特朗普8月24日又在社交媒体发文加码，宣布自2027年1月1日起，把对加拿大汽车、卡车、汽车零部件和钢铁的关税提高至50%，而目前美国对加拿大汽车的关税税率是25%，相当于直接翻倍。
