美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特周日表示,未解除对俄罗斯的任何制裁,为美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在俄乌战争期间豁免新的惩罚性措施的决定进行辩护。
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Sunday that no sanctions on Russia were lifted, defending President Donald Trump’s decision to waive new punitive measures amid the war in Ukraine.
“周五未解除任何制裁,”贝森特对NBC新闻表示,称政府已获得60天时间审查局势。
“No sanctions were lifted on Friday,” Bessent told NBC News, saying the administration had been given a 60-day period to examine the situation.
“唯一被解除的是柴油禁运,”他坚称,美国并未撤销其现有制裁。
“The only thing that has been lifted is the diesel embargo,” he said, insisting that the US had not rolled back its existing sanctions.
贝森特认为,特朗普对莫斯科采取了强硬立场,并指出对俄罗斯两家最大能源公司罗斯内夫特和卢克石油实施了制裁。
Bessent argued that Trump had taken a tough line against Moscow, pointing to sanctions imposed on Russia’s two largest energy companies, Rosneft and Lukoil.
“特朗普总统制裁了俄罗斯两家最大的能源公司……这对俄罗斯能源业是一次毁灭性打击,”他说。
“President Trump sanctioned the two largest Russian energy companies ... which was a catastrophic blow to the Russian energy industry,” he said.
这些言论是在乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基警告说,华盛顿与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京站在一边将是“历史性错误”,同时表示希望特朗普重新考虑其决定之后发表的。
The remarks came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Washington siding with Russian President Vladimir Putin would be a “historic mistake,” while expressing hope that Trump would reconsider his decisions.
“我们想信任他,”泽连斯基早些时候对NBC表示,警告称乌克兰无法承受华盛顿和莫斯科联合对抗基辅的局面。
“We want to trust him,” Zelenskyy told NBC earlier, warning that Ukraine could not withstand a situation in which Washington and Moscow aligned against Kyiv.
泽连斯基还表示,乌克兰在与美国的情报共享方面经历了暂时中断,以及对其抵御俄罗斯攻击至关重要的卫星通信受到限制。
Zelenskyy also said Ukraine had experienced a temporary interruption in US intelligence sharing and restrictions on satellite communications critical to its defense against Russian attacks.
贝森特驳斥了泽连斯基关于特朗普政府应对中断负责的指控,称“泽连斯基总统做出这样的指控非常鲁莽”。他还否认华盛顿与莫斯科站在一边,援引美国情报支持、星链接入以及允许北约成员国为乌克兰购买美国武器的安排。
Bessent rejected Zelenskyy’s allegations that the Trump administration was responsible for disruptions, saying that “it is very reckless for President Zelensky to make such a charge.”He also denied that Washington was siding with Moscow, citing US intelligence support, Starlink access and arrangements allowing NATO members to purchase American weapons for Ukraine.
为政府的做法辩护,贝森特批评欧洲国家继续购买俄罗斯能源,同时向莫斯科提供财政支持。
Defending the administration’s approach, Bessent criticized European countries for continuing to buy Russian energy while providing financial support to Moscow.
“欧洲给俄罗斯和弗拉基米尔·普京的钱,比给乌克兰人的钱还要多,”他说。
“The Europeans have given Russia and Vladimir Putin more money than they’ve given the Ukrainians,” he said.
