美国副国务卿克里斯托弗·兰道在布宜诺斯艾利斯表示，华盛顿正在密切关注阿根廷的主权法案将如何影响美国企业，而阿根廷外长则为该法案进行了辩护。
US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau told Buenos Aires that Washington is closely watching how Argentina's sovereignty bill could affect US firms, as Argentina's foreign minister defended the measure.
美国副国务卿克里斯托弗·兰道周四在布宜诺斯艾利斯承认，华盛顿正在密切关注阿根廷的《国家主权国防法》草案可能对美国公司产生的影响。该措施加大了对任何参与马尔维纳斯群岛周围碳氢化合物勘探人员的制裁力度。
US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau acknowledged in Buenos Aires on Thursday that Washington is closely watching the impact Argentina's National Sovereignty Defence bill could have on American companies. The measure toughens sanctions against anyone involved in hydrocarbon exploration around the Falkland Islands.
阿根廷外长巴勃罗·基尔诺为该倡议进行了辩护，称其为保护国家对自然资源主权权利的一种方式，并坚称该法案不针对任何特定国家。此次交流正值阿根廷与英国围绕该群岛附近海上石油项目的紧张局势不断升温之际。
Argentine Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno defended the initiative as a way to protect the country's sovereign rights over its natural resources, insisting the bill does not target any specific nation. The exchange came amid simmering tension between Argentina and the United Kingdom over offshore oil projects near the islands.
华盛顿面临着微妙的平衡，既需要维护与阿根廷的商业联系，又需要保护自身企业在该地区的利益。分析人士表示，如果该法案在国会获得通过，能源公司可能不得不重新考虑投资决策，从而使阿根廷吸引外资的更广泛努力变得更加复杂。
Washington faces a delicate balance, needing to preserve commercial ties with Argentina while shielding its own firms' interests in the region. Analysts say that if the bill clears congress, energy companies may have to reconsider investment decisions, complicating Argentina's broader push to attract foreign capital.
