特朗普高级顾问贾里德·库什纳周五在社交媒体上发文猛烈抨击,指责CNN发布了一篇“极具误导性的报道和标题”,暗示他在中东的“外交工作以某种方式使以色列国防公司的投资受益”。
Senior Trump advisor Jared Kushner accused CNN of publishing a "deeply misleading story and headline" suggesting his "diplomatic work in the Middle East somehow benefited investments in Israeli defense companies" in a fiery social media post on Friday.
这位很少公开批评媒体的特朗普女婿,在X平台上严厉斥责了一篇设有付费墙的CNN报道,该报道于周四发布,标题为“贾里德·库什纳公司对一家以色列公司的投资如何可能构成重大利益冲突”。
President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, who rarely criticizes the media publicly, took to X to scold a paywall-protected CNN report headlined, "How Jared Kushner’s firm’s investment in an Israeli company could be a major conflict of interest," that was published on Thursday.
该报道指出,库什纳在担任加沙战争关键谈判代表期间,其公司Affinity Partners“持有最大股份的一家以色列公司,支持参与以色列军事行动的企业”。
The report noted that Kushner acted as a key negotiator regarding the war in Gaza while his company, Affinity Partners, "held the largest stake in an Israeli firm backing businesses involved in Israel’s military campaigns."
库什纳向哈马斯发出严厉最后通牒:解除武装,否则以色列将获得美国支持“完成任务”库什纳辩称CNN自身的报道内容与标题相悖,但表示没有付费订阅的读者对此一无所知。
KUSHNER GIVES HAMAS STARK ULTIMATUM: DISARM OR ISRAEL GETS US BACKING TO ‘FINISH THE JOB’ Kushner argued that CNN’s own reporting contradicts the headline, but said readers without a paid subscription to the website were left in the dark.
“被埋没在付费墙后面的是,它承认:‘CNN未发现迹象表明库什纳作为外交官的行动直接影响了所审查的投资,’”库什纳写道。
"Buried behind a paywall, it acknowledges: ‘CNN found no indication that Kushner’s actions as a diplomat directly affected the investments reviewed,’" Kushner wrote.
确实,CNN表示未发现迹象表明库什纳作为外交官的行动直接影响了这些投资,但这一点被埋没在第十段,且仅对付费CNN用户可见。
Indeed, CNN said it found no indication that Kushner’s actions as a diplomat directly impacted the investments, but that point was buried 10 paragraphs deep and only visible to paid CNNrs.
这份长篇报道称:“CNN借助以色列的金融透明度法规,追踪到了总部位于特拉维夫的凤凰金融公司的一些与军方相关的投资动向。去年,就在唐纳德·特朗普重新入主白宫前夕,库什纳旗下的投资集团将在该公司的持股比例提高了一倍。”
The lengthy report said, "CNN used Israeli financial transparency laws to trace some of the military-linked investments of Phoenix Financial, a Tel Aviv-based firm that Kushner’s investment group doubled its stake in last year, shortly before Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office."
报道还提到:“这些记录仅反映了凤凰金融的部分投资组合情况,但显示该公司已向以色列最大的武器制造商埃尔比特系统公司投入了数亿美元。CNN发现,凤凰金融还持有至少八家其他公司的股份,这些公司为以色列军方提供从无人机、军舰到爆破设备等各类装备。”
HILLARY CLINTON BREAKS WITH DEMOCRATIC CRITICS BY BACKING TRUMP’S GAZA PLAN AS THE 'ONLY GAME IN TOWN' "Those records, which include only a fraction of Phoenix’s holdings, show Phoenix has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into Israel’s largest arms manufacturer, Elbit Systems. Phoenix also holds stakes in at least eight other companies providing equipment for the Israeli military ranging from drones to warships to demolition machinery, CNN found," according to the report.
“CNN列出的这九家公司去年股价均有所上涨,其中多家企业表示加沙战争带动了其业务需求,”CNN报道继续写道。“Affinity公司虽未直接持有这九家公司的股份,但一旦凤凰金融盈利,该公司也能从中获益。”CNN还指出,库什纳曾称凤凰金融是值得Affinity投资的好项目。
"All nine companies identified by CNN saw their stock value climb last year, with many stating the war in Gaza had driven demand for their businesses," the CNN report continued. "Affinity doesn’t directly hold a stake in the nine companies CNN identified — but it does stand to reap rewards when Phoenix makes a profit." CNN also noted that Kushner described Phoenix as a strong investment for Affinity.
对此,库什纳回应称,尽管CNN如此描述,但凤凰金融并非一家国防企业,他还为自己的公司投资行为进行了辩护。
In his response, Kushner said that Phoenix is not a defense company, despite CNN’s framing, and defended his company’s investments.
“凤凰金融是以色列规模最大的上市金融机构之一,受到严格监管,管理着约2200亿美元的资产,涉及数千项投资,”库什纳写道。
"It is one of Israel’s largest publicly traded financial institutions, highly regulated and managing approximately $220 billion across thousands of investments," Kushner wrote.
“可以把凤凰金融视作以色列版的先锋集团或富达基金。它负责管理数百万以色列人的退休储蓄。这些储户无法自行选择投资标的,我同样无权决定,”库什纳补充道。“我并不参与决定凤凰金融的买卖决策。自我们首次投资以来,该公司的业绩表现优异,为Affinity及我们的投资者带来了超过五倍的回报。”库什纳还强调,Affinity是一家受美国证券交易委员会监管的投资公司。"
"Think of Phoenix as the Israeli equivalent of Vanguard or Fidelity. It manages the retirement savings of millions of Israelis. The savers don’t choose the individual investments, and neither do I," Kushner continued. "I have no role in deciding what Phoenix buys or sells. It has performed very well for Affinity and our investors, up more than five times since our initial investment." Kushner added that Affinity is an SEC-ed investment firm.
我们对凤凰城的投资是公开的,且早于特朗普总统连任,也早于我重返公共服务岗位。Affinity并不拥有CNN报道中提到的那些防务公司," 库什纳写道。"这些事实或许无法组成一个更具挑衅性的标题,但能还原一个更准确的故事," 他继续说道。"误导性报道无法分散我的注意力,让我偏离特朗普总统交给我的工作:帮助结束战争、凝聚人心、追求和平。这项工作至关重要。"
"Our investment in Phoenix is public and dates to before President Trump was re-elected, and before I returned to public service. Affinity does not own the defense companies highlighted in CNN’s story," Kushner wrote. "Those facts make for a less provocative headline, but a much more accurate story," he continued. "Misleading stories will not distract me from the work President Trump asked me to do: help end wars, bring people together and pursue peace. That work is too important."
CNN发言人对福克斯新闻数字频道表示,"我们坚持我们的报道。" 库什纳吹嘘与伊朗前所未有的接触,德黑兰否认特朗普存在后台渠道 在另一篇帖子中,库什纳表示,过去十年里他一直无视"虚假和误导性报道",但"这种循环已失控,旧谎言被当作事实反复炒作,新谎言不断添加,记录变得越来越扭曲",因此他感到有必要回应。
A CNN spokesperson told Fox News Digital that "we stand by our reporting." KUSHNER TOUTS UNPRECEDENTED IRAN CONTACTS AS TEHRAN DENIES TRUMP BACKCHANNEL In a separate post, Kushner said he has ignored "false and misleading stories" for the past decade, but "the cycle has gotten out of control where old lies get repeated as fact, new ones get added, and the record becomes increasingly distorted," so he felt a need to respond.
CNN刊登了库什纳律师的声明,该声明同样被设置在付费墙后面。"任何暗示贾里德的外交工作影响了凤凰城对贵方指出的那些公司的投资,反之亦然,都是不正确的," 该律师告诉CNN。
CNN published a statement from Kushner's attorney, which was also hidden behind the paywall. "Any suggestion that Jared’s diplomatic work influenced Phoenix’s investments in the companies you identify, or vice versa, is incorrect," the attorney told CNN.
白宫发言人也告诉CNN,暗示库什纳的个人商业活动与其外交事务有任何关联,是"民主党十年来针对特朗普总统、其家人及其政府推行的陈旧叙事"。
A White House spokesperson also told CNN the suggestion Kushner’s personal business activities have anything to do with his diplomatic engagements is a "tired narrative that Democrats have pushed against President Trump, his family, and his administration for a decade."
