凯蒂·扎卡里亚周二以新任白宫新闻秘书身份主持了她的首场新闻简报会,成为特朗普总统任内第六位担任此职务的人。她接替了被描述为好斗但有能力的前新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特。
Katie Zacharia led her first press briefing on Tuesday as the new White House press secretary, becoming the sixth person to hold the position under President Donald Trump. She replaces former press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who was described as combative but skilled.
此次简报会异常简短,时长不足15分钟便结束。会上,扎卡里亚仅点名了三位记者提问,他们均代表保守派媒体。
The initial briefing was unusually short, concluding in less than 15 minutes. During the session, Zacharia called on only three reporters, all of whom represented conservative outlets.
扎卡里亚是一名保守派评论员,曾担任特朗普总统所拥有并运营的媒体公司及社交媒体平台的传播顾问。尽管特朗普称扎卡里亚是一名律师,但其律师资格仍不明确。
Zacharia is a conservative commentator who previously served as a communications adviser to the media company and social media site owned and operated by President Trump. While the President claimed that Zacharia is an attorney, her bar credentials remain unclear.
她首次亮相后,一些特朗普盟友对她如何应对这一高曝光职位表示不确定。
Following her first appearance, some Trump allies have expressed uncertainty regarding how she will tackle the high-profile role.
