美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，他在宣布韩国参与价值500亿美元的阿拉斯加液化天然气（LNG）项目时“并未操之过急”，并警告称，如果首尔不尽快签署协议，可能需要支付“双倍”的费用。
U.S. President Donald Trump said he "didn't jump the gun" in announcing South Korea's participation in a $50 billion Alaska LNG project, warning Seoul could pay "double" if it does not sign on soon.
他的言论正值华盛顿与首尔就韩国计划在美国进行的能源和基础设施投资存在分歧之际，特朗普宣布了一些首尔方面表示尚未最终确定的项目。
His remarks come amid a discrepancy between Washington and Seoul over South Korea's planned energy and infrastructure investments in the U.S., with Trump announcing projects that Seoul has said are not yet finalized.
据白宫消息，特朗普周五对记者表示：“如果他们不想做，那对我来说也没关系。我就向他们收取更多费用。”“告诉他们，如果他们不尽快签署，我会让费用翻倍。”特朗普未具体说明将翻倍的是什么。不过，韩国当地媒体提出，他可能指的是对该国征收更高的关税。
"If they don't want to do it, that's OK with me. I'll just charge them more," Trump told reporters Friday, according to the White House. "Tell them if they don't sign shortly, I'm going to double it up." Trump did not specify what would be doubled. South Korean local media, though, raised the possibility that he was referring to higher tariffs on the country.
当被问及是否过早宣布韩国参与阿拉斯加LNG项目时，特朗普表示他“并未操之过急”。此前，韩国表示仍在评估阿拉斯加LNG项目，其参与取决于项目的商业可行性以及是否符合国内法律程序。
When asked whether he had prematurely announced South Korea's involvement in the Alaska LNG project, Trump said he "didn't jump the gun." Trump's remarks come after South Korea said it was still assessing the Alaska LNG project, with any participation dependent on its commercial viability and compliance with domestic legal procedures.
此外，特朗普周五在Truth Social上表示，韩国的投资协议“越来越好”，并宣布了一项价值84亿美元的强化采油项目。强化采油利用二氧化碳注入等技术来增加油田的原油产量。
Separately, Trump said on Truth Social Friday that South Korea's investment deal "keeps getting BETTER," announcing an additional $8.4 billion enhanced oil recovery project. Enhanced oil recovery uses techniques such as carbon dioxide injection to increase the amount of crude oil produced from an oil field.
韩国当地媒体进一步报道称，该采油项目并未包含在首尔与华盛顿达成的协议中，并援引该国产业部的说法。据报道，该部门正在核实特朗普的声明，并已通过贸易渠道联系美国寻求澄清。
South Korean local media further reported that the oil recovery project was not included in the agreements reached between Seoul and Washington, citing the country's industry ministry. The ministry was seeking to verify Trump's announcement and had contacted the U.S. through trade channels for clarification, according to the report.
