特朗普总统周三晚在蒙大拿州的一次集会上表示，他不确定美国官员在结束伊朗战争的努力中到底在跟谁谈判。
President Trump said Wednesday night at a rally in Montana that he wasn’t sure who U.S. officials were negotiating with in their efforts to bring an end to the Iran war.
“他们没有海军。他们没有空军。他们的陆军已被摧毁。他们的领导人没了，”总统在谈及冲突时提到伊朗军队的状况说道。“我大概应该留下他们的领导人，因为我不知道我们到底在跟谁谈判。” 特朗普周三晚抵达“宝藏之州”，为蒙大拿州共和党人亚伦·弗林特助选；弗林特正竞逐接替即将卸任的众议员瑞安·津克（共和党-蒙大拿州）的席位，将于11月与民主党人萨姆·福斯塔格对决。
“They don’t have a navy. They don’t have an air force. Their army is decimated. Their leaders are gone,” the president said, referencing the state of the Iranian military while discussing the conflict. “I should have probably left their leaders because I don’t know who the hell we’re negotiating with.”Trump arrived in the Treasure State Wednesday evening to campaign for Montana Republican Aaron Flint, who is vying to replace retiring Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.) and will face Democrat Sam Forstag in November.
这场伊朗战争即将进入第八个月，让共和党在进入中期选举之际陷入棘手的政治境地。冲击全球经济并推高了美国人的燃油成本，越来越多的美国民众将物价上涨归咎于总统的政策。但近几周美伊之间的磋商已陷入停滞。
The Iran war, which nears its eighth month, has put the GOP in tricky political territory heading into the midterm elections. The conflict has strained the global economy and raised fuel costs for Americans, who increasingly blame the president’s policies for rising prices. But deliberations between the U.S. and Iran have stalled in recent weeks.
财政部长斯科特·贝森特周日在接受福克斯新闻主持人雷切尔·坎波斯-达菲采访时表示：“我不知道这会怎么结束。你永远不知道这会怎么结束。” 在上月底联合国大会期间的谈判未获成果后，国务卿马可·鲁比奥称伊朗代表团“逾期不走”，并下令其成员离开美国。
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News’s Rachel Campos Duffy on Sunday, “I don’t know how this ends. You never know how this ends.”Following unsuccessful talks at the United Nations General Assembly late last month, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Iranian delegation “overstayed” its welcome and ordered its members to leave the U.S.
副总统万斯本月早些时候表示，伊朗领导层必须采取切实步骤，拆除任何追求核武器的企图。
Vice President Vance said earlier this month that Iranian leadership must take serious steps to dismantle any pursuit of nuclear weapons.
“我认为如果他们想展示不制造核武器的承诺，就会在浓缩能力上做出一些实质性举措，”万斯对路透社表示。
“I think if they want to show a commitment to not building a nuclear weapon, they would do something meaningful on their enrichment capacity,” Vance told Reuters.
“换句话说，美国不会仅凭伊朗方面的行动承诺就采取行动。我们需要以行动换行动，我们将拭目以待伊朗人会怎么做，”他随后补充道。
“In other words, the United States is not going to do things for mere promise of actions on the Iranian side. We need to trade actions for actions here, and we’ll see what the Iranians do,” he later added.
