蒙特利爾銀行：重新談判《美墨加協定》將給貿易政策和加拿大經濟帶來重大風險。預計加拿大將繼續享有合規豁免，大部分出口商品仍可免關稅進入美國。

The third China-US 1.5-track dialogue took place in Beijing on Aug. 25, hosted by the International Liaison Department of the Chinese Communist Party and the Asia Society. International Liaison Department minister Liu Haixing delivered the keynote. About 40 Chinese and US participants — from central agencies, local governments, think tanks, universities and US strategic and business circles, including Asia Society co-chair Thornton — held candid, in-depth exchanges on constructive strategic stability and pragmatic bilateral cooperation.

An adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister, Anton Gerashchenko, said it is unclear why CIA director John Ratcliffe went to Moscow and various theories are circulating. The Kremlin said Putin’s schedule was adjusted and a planned Tuesday event involving hundreds was postponed. Ratcliffe, like Secretary of State Rubio, is widely viewed as a hawk and some see the visit as a warning that the US could take a tougher line if Russia refuses to end the conflict. US media recently reported that US intelligence has warned Russia may seek attacks on NATO European states to probe alliance unity, a second possible context for the trip.
