唐纳德·特朗普与英国首相安迪·伯纳姆定于周五通话,当时两国政府因俄罗斯在乌克兰的战争以及美国可能重新升级对伊朗的行动而关系紧张。

Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham are scheduled to speak Friday as tensions build between the two governments over Russia’s war in Ukraine and the possibility of renewed US escalation against Iran.

知情人士透露,两位领导人预计将于周五晚些时候举行电话会谈。目前尚不清楚总统是否会寻求英国在未来任何军事行动中的支持,但特朗普暗示,他可能在下个月美国中期选举后在中东发动新的攻势。

The leaders are due to hold the phone call later Friday, people familiar with the plans told Bloomberg. It is not clear whether the president will seek UK support in any future military action but Trump has hinted he could launch a fresh offensive in the Middle East following next month’s US midterm elections.

英国官员担心,特朗普正准备对伊朗发动新的攻势,这可能进一步阻碍能源流动并给通胀带来上行压力。官员们表示,因此英国希望特朗普寻求外交解决方案。这些官员因讨论私下外交事务而要求匿名。

UK officials are concerned Trump is preparing for a new offensive against Iran which could further hamper energy flows and put upward pressure on inflation. Britain wants Trump to pursue a diplomatic solution as a result, officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss private diplomacy.

此次通话将是两位领导人自特朗普宣布与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京达成协议、向全球市场释放俄罗斯柴油以来,首次已知的对话。英国正试图说服特朗普政府不要背弃乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基。

The call will mark the first occasion the two leaders are known to have spoken since Trump announced a deal with President Vladimir Putin to release Russian diesel to the global market. Britain is trying to persuade the Trump administration not to turn against Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

白宫未立即回应置评请求。唐宁街10号表示,任何官方通话的细节将按惯例公布。近几周美英之间出现了紧张关系,特别是围绕乌克兰冲突。

The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. No. 10 Downing Street said details of any official calls would be shared in the usual way. Tensions between the US and UK have surfaced in recent weeks, in particular around the Ukraine conflict.

上周,伯纳姆在唐宁街欢迎泽连斯基,以在特朗普与俄罗斯达成柴油协议后表示英国的支持。周末,在总统豁免与俄罗斯能源出口相关的关税后,内阁大臣伊薇特·库珀表示,英国持有“不同观点”。周四,伯纳姆办公室拒绝了特朗普特使史蒂夫·威特科夫将普京描述为“人道主义者”的说法。

Burnham welcomed Zelenskyy to Downing Street last week to offer Britain’s support following Trump’s diesel deal with Russia. On the weekend, after the president waived tariffs linked to Russian energy exports, cabinet minister Yvette Cooper said the UK takes a “different view” from the US. Burnham’s office on Thursday rejected the description of Putin as a “humanitarian” given by Trump envoy Steve Witkoff.

自伯纳姆入主唐宁街以来,特朗普与伯纳姆已多次通话。上个月,首相前往纽约出席联合国大会期间,两人举行了面对面会谈。

Trump and Burnham have spoken several times since Burnham entered Downing Street. The two met for face-to-face talks last month when the Prime Minister traveled to New York for the United Nations General Assembly meeting.
