美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周三表示，他的政府将“非常密切”地关注11月的中期选举。
US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that his administration will be "very closely" watching the midterm elections in November.
在椭圆形办公室对记者发表讲话时，特朗普被问及对选举诚信的担忧，以及如果各州不遵守关于纸质选票和投票机的拟议要求，国土安全部（DHS）是否会采取新措施追究各州的责任。
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump was asked about concerns about election integrity and whether the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would take new measures to hold states accountable if they do not comply with proposed requirements involving paper ballots and election machines.
“我们正在非常仔细地观察这些选举，因为我们需要诚实的选举，”他说。
“We're watching very carefully the elections because we need honest elections,” he said.
特朗普表示，选举诚信是他认为国家需要解决的关键问题之一，此外还有边境安全和准确的选举报告。
Trump said election integrity was among the key issues he believes the country needs to address, alongside border security and accurate election reporting.
“我们需要公平的报道。我们需要边境。你知道我们的国家需要某些东西，”特朗普说。“其中之一就是诚实的选举。这是一件大事。”特朗普在交流中没有透露国土安全部潜在执法措施的细节，也没有概述对各州的新联邦要求。“我们会非常、非常密切地关注，”他说。
“We need fair reporting. We need borders. You know there are certain things our country needs,” said Trump. “One of them is honest elections. It's a big deal.”Trump did not provide details about potential enforcement measures by the DHS or outline new federal requirements for states during the exchange. “We're going to be watching very, very closely,” he said.
