纽约,9月26日电 委内瑞拉临时总统德尔西·罗德里格斯本周抵达纽约出席联合国大会,寻求在债务、能源和矿业领域达成商业协议,以表明这个曾遭受制裁的国家在美军1月推翻其前任总统后,已重新对商业敞开大门。

NEW YORK, Sept 26 - Venezuela's interim President Delcy Rodriguez arrived in New York this week for the UN General Assembly seeking business deals on debt, energy and mining, to demonstrate the once sanctioned country was open for business again after US forces removed her predecessor in January.

她在联大发言中承诺,这个南美石油输出国组织成员国将举行选举,作为向“完全民主”过渡的一部分。她带着与美国总统特朗普合影的照片离开,却未获得任何具体协议。

She pledged in her speech before the UN that the South American OPEC member would hold elections as part of a transition to "full democracy." She left with photographs of herself alongside US President Donald Trump, but obtained no concrete agreements.

这是自美军1月突袭抓捕时任总统马杜罗以来,她首次访美。分析人士表示,这显示了华盛顿对其政府的深度控制,也显示出委内瑞拉需要建立新联盟以配合特朗普的愿景。

It was her first visit to the US since American forces captured then-President Nicolas Maduro in a January raid. It demonstrated Washington's deep control over her administration and showed Venezuela's need for new alliances to align with Trump's aspirations, analysts said.

“罗德里格斯享受了一周的高曝光度。然而,当我们列出具体成果清单时,结果却很微薄。资金拨付、重建方案或商业协议在哪里?它们并未以足以让纽约被描绘为委内瑞拉伟大金融复苏的规模落地,”驻华盛顿分析师安东尼奥·德拉克鲁斯表示。

"Rodriguez enjoyed a week of high visibility. Yet, when we make a list of concrete results, the outcome is modest. Where are the disbursements, the reconstruction package or the business deals? They did not materialize on the scale that would have allowed New York to be portrayed as Venezuela's great financial comeback," said Washington-based analyst Antonio De La Cruz.

“胜利者享有战利品,”特朗普周二在大会发言时说道,罗德里格斯在旁聆听,他提醒她美国已准备好动用其“无与伦比的军事力量”。特朗普在演讲中未点名罗德里格斯,且未发布关于他与她简短“拉边会谈”的纪要。曾支持马杜罗的其他国家左翼领导人保持距离,而在美委内瑞拉人在联合国外抗议,举着将罗德里格斯描绘成身穿监狱式橙色连体囚服的标语牌。

"To the victor belong the spoils," Trump said in a Tuesday address to the assembly as Rodriguez listened, reminding her that the US stood ready to use its "unmatched military might." Trump did not mention Rodriguez by name in his speech, and no readout was published on his brief "pull-aside" meeting with her. Leftist leaders from other nations who once backed Maduro kept their distance, while Venezuelans living in the US protested outside the UN with signs depicting Rodriguez in a jail-style orange jumpsuit.

德拉克鲁斯表示,特朗普展示了华盛顿正在塑造委内瑞拉的新格局,而罗德里格斯则证明了她是关键对话者。“但她现在承担了额外的后果:她将不得不解释委内瑞拉人究竟何时才能真正投票。”九个月来,罗德里格斯一直避免发出关于选举的信号,而美国官员则通过表示这需要时间才能实现来压低预期。分析人士和委内瑞拉反对党现在表示,设定日期的时钟正在滴答作响,而专家估计,任命可靠的选举机构和组织投票至少需要12个月。

De La Cruz said Trump showed Washington is shaping the new Venezuelan landscape, while Rodriguez demonstrated she is the key interlocutor. "But she now bears an additional consequence: she will have to explain when Venezuelans will actually vote." For nine months, Rodriguez had avoided giving signals about an election, while US officials kept expectations at bay by saying it would take time to materialize. Analysts and Venezuelan opposition parties now say the clock is ticking to set a date, while experts estimate it will take at least 12 months to appoint reliable authorities and organize the voting.

白宫和委内瑞拉的信息部及外交部未回复关于可能举行选举和双边会谈细节的置评请求。

The White House and Venezuela's information and foreign affairs ministries did not reply to requests for comment about a possible election and details of the bilateral talks.

喧嚣过后无协议 据消息人士透露,在委内瑞拉代表团出访前,原本预期与美国官员、多边贷款机构、盟国政府以及能源和矿业公司的会谈将产生签署协议,哪怕只是初步协议。但截至周六,尚未宣布任何协议。

MUCH NOISE, NO DEALS Talks with US officials, multilateral lenders, allied governments and energy and mining companies were expected to produce signed agreements, even if preliminary, sources had said ahead of the Venezuelan delegation's trip. As of Saturday, none had been announced.

美洲开发银行行长表示,该多边机构正在努力争取批准向委内瑞拉提供25亿美元的过桥贷款。但据路透社周二报道,部分美洲开发银行董事会成员反对发放这笔贷款。

The head of the Inter-American Development Bank said the multilateral was working to secure approval for a $2.5 billion bridge loan for Venezuela. But some members of the IDB board oppose making the loan, Reuters reported on Tuesday.

在联合国内部,委内瑞拉人基本上孤立无援。古巴代表团曾是这个南美国家最亲密的盟友,当特朗普的演讲谈到古巴时,他们退场离席,而罗德里格斯留了下来,听特朗普称马杜罗为“非法独裁者”。消息人士称,加拉加斯和哈瓦那的官员互相回避。

Inside the UN, the Venezuelans were largely on their own. The Cuban delegation, once the South American nation's closest ally, walked out of the hall when Trump's speech turned to Cuba, while Rodriguez stayed as he called Maduro an "outlaw dictator." Officials from Caracas and Havana avoided each other, sources said.

当罗德里格斯走过会场向西班牙首相桑切斯致意时,桑切斯尴尬地结束了一个电话,然后站起来迎接她。桑切斯后来将这次问候描述为“正常”。与此同时,一位消息人士告诉路透社,俄罗斯代表团寻求与外长费利克斯·普拉森西亚会面,讨论俄罗斯在委内瑞拉石油项目中的利益。有报道称,埃克森美孚一直在就重返大型佩特罗莫纳加斯项目进行谈判,该项目部分由俄罗斯国家公司罗斯扎鲁别日涅夫特公司持有。

When Rodriguez crossed the floor to greet Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, he awkwardly finished a phone call before standing to receive her. Sanchez later described the greeting as "normal." Meanwhile, a source told Reuters that the Russian delegation sought out a meeting with Foreign Minister Felix Plasencia to discuss the country's stakes in oil projects in Venezuela. There have been reports that ExxonMobil has had negotiations for a return into the large Petromonagas development, partially owned by Russia's state firm Roszarubezhneft.

俄罗斯外交部、其驻纽约联合国代表团及其驻加拉加斯大使馆均未立即回复置评请求。

Russia's foreign ministry, its mission to the UN in New York and its embassy in Caracas did not immediately reply to requests for comment.

巴西总统卢拉·达席尔瓦,这位该地区最著名的左翼领导人,告诉CNN,美国对待罗德里格斯的方式仿佛是她的老板,如果换作是他,他会宣布举行选举。

Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the region's most prominent leftist leader, told CNN that the US treats Rodriguez as if it were her boss and that, in her place, he would call elections.

在会场外,50多名抗议者举着写着“新面孔,旧政权”的标语,高呼罗德里格斯应该去布鲁克林监狱与马杜罗为伍,后者正在那里等待受审。

Outside, more than 50 protesters carried signs reading "New Face, Same Regime" and chanted that Rodriguez should join Maduro in the Brooklyn jail where he is being held pending trial.

在罗德里格斯与特朗普会晤后,美国国务卿鲁比奥表示,双方讨论了重组委内瑞拉主权债务,华盛顿施压要求政治变革,这两个都是她政府难以应对的议题。“要使该计划成功,最终必须落实到自由公正的选举上,”鲁比奥说。

Following Rodriguez's meeting with Trump, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the two discussed restructuring Venezuela's sovereign debt and that Washington pressed for political change, both hard topics for her administration. "For this project to be successful, it culminates in a free and fair election," Rubio said.

在罗德里格斯访美期间,媒体报道称,委内瑞拉反对派领导人马查多——她可能是未来大选中的有力候选人——再次被阻止从巴拿马返回祖国。

While Rodriguez visited the US, media reports said Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who could be a strong candidate in an eventual election, was again prevented from returning to her country from Panama.

政治分析师、已故左翼总统查韦斯的前支持者尼克默·埃文斯在X平台上推测,罗德里格斯允许自己“双重受辱”,以换取特朗普不支持马查多。“会有选举,但要等美国认为合适的时候,”埃文斯写道。

Nicmer Evans, political analyst and former supporter of late leftist President Hugo Chavez, theorized on X that Rodriguez had allowed herself to be "doubly humiliated" in exchange for Trump withholding support to Machado. "There will be elections, but when the United States sees fit," Evans wrote.
