美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周六证实,他可能将白宫记者团迁至其他地点。
Trump says he may move White House press corps By Jason Lange WASHINGTON, Oct 24 - US President Donald Trump confirmed on Saturday he may move the White House press corps to a different location.
在一条社交媒体帖子中,特朗普否认了一份关于他计划拆除白宫新闻发布室并在该地点恢复历史游泳池的报道,称他从未“想过做这种愚蠢的事”。但他表示,可以将记者团从目前在白宫的位置迁走。
In a social media post, Trump dismissed a report that he planned to remove the White House press room and restore a historic swimming pool on the site, saying he had never "even thought to do such a stupid thing." But he said he could relocate the press corps from its current position in the White House.
“我可能会把‘假新闻’搬到一个不那么令人讨厌的地方,”特朗普在帖子中说。
"I may move the Fake News to a less obnoxious location," Trump said in the post.
《纽约时报》周二报道称,特朗普曾在8月敦促时任新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特将新闻发布会移出白宫的詹姆斯·S·布雷迪新闻发布室,但该想法从未付诸实施。
The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Trump had urged then-press secretary Karoline Leavitt in August to move news conferences out of the White House's James S. Brady Press Briefing Room, although the idea was never implemented.
据该报道,特朗普告诉助手,他更希望在该地点设立一个室内理疗泳池,该泳池是在富兰克林·D·罗斯福政府时期安装的。尼克松政府曾用新闻发布室取代了该泳池。特朗普经常指责美国媒体对其政府的报道不公。
According to the report, the president told aides he would rather have an indoor therapy pool that was installed at the site during Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration. The Nixon administration replaced the pool with the press briefing room. Trump has regularly accused US media of unfair reporting about his administration.
上个月,特朗普曾短暂禁止CNN、MSNBC和《政治报》的记者进入白宫场地,并表示其他媒体机构可能面临类似限制。言论自由倡导者称此举违反了第一修正案对新闻自由的保护。
Last month, Trump briefly banned journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds and said other outlets could face similar restrictions. Free speech advocates have said the move violated First Amendment protections for a free press.
在一名联邦法官认定该禁令很可能违宪并下令后,白宫恢复了他们的采访权,尽管特朗普政府仍在争辩此案。
The White House reinstated their access after an order from a federal judge who deemed the ban likely unconstitutional, although the Trump administration is still contesting the case.
