特朗普总统在吹嘘来自南美国家委内瑞拉的石油桶数后，再次呼吁委内瑞拉成为美国第51个州。“它将成为一个繁荣的国家，谁知道呢？
President Trump renewed calls for Venezuela to be the 51st U.S. state after touting the barrels of oil coming from the South American country. "It will become a prosperous country, and who knows?
也许很快，它将成为一个繁荣的第51个州，”特朗普谈到委内瑞拉时说。“这是可能的。让我们把它变成第51个州。”他说，“与其有一个总统，不如举行一次州长选举。”总统在人群中点名了石油大亨哈罗德·哈姆。“现在让我们把它，哈罗德，变成第51个州。你喜欢这个吗？我喜欢。我喜欢，”特朗普说。
Maybe someday soon, it will become a prosperous 51st state," Trump said of Venezuela. "That's possible. Let's make it the 51st state." He said that "instead of a president, we'll have an election for a governor." The president called out oil tycoon Harold Hamm in the crowd. “Now let's make it, Harold, the 51st state. You like that? I do. I do,” Trump said.
特朗普周二早些时候说，委内瑞拉向美国运送了100万桶石油，作为“礼物”。
Trump said earlier on Tuesday that Venezuela sent 1 million barrels of oil to the U.S. as a “gift.”
特朗普和国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥将于周二监督委内瑞拉油轮的抵达，《纽约邮报》报道称。特朗普说，原油将在得克萨斯州的炼油厂加工。
Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio will oversee the Venezuelan tanker’s arrival on Tuesday, the New York Post reported. The crude oil will be processed in Texas refineries, Trump said.
国务院一位官员表示，鲁比奥以国家安全顾问而非国务卿的身份与特朗普一同前往得克萨斯州。“他需要与总统就各种问题花时间。
A State Department official said Rubio is traveling with Trump to Texas in his capacity as national security adviser not as secretary of state. "He needs time with the President on all kinds of issues.
总统将四处奔波，所以和他一起在飞机上给了他谈论这些事项的机会，”该官员说。总统此前曾就委内瑞拉成为一个州发表过评论。
The president will be on the go, so being on the plane with him gives him a chance to talk to him about these items,” the official said. The president has made comments about Venezuela becoming a state before.
特朗普今年早些时候说，他正“认真考虑”让该国成为一个州，并对加拿大发表过类似言论。
Trump said earlier this year that he was “seriously considering” making the country a state and has made similar comments about Canada.
委内瑞拉代理总统德尔西·罗德里格斯去年5月对记者说，委内瑞拉没有成为美国一个州的计划。
Venezuela ’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez told journalists back in May that Venezuela has no plans of becoming a U.S. state.
“我们将继续捍卫我们的完整、主权、独立和历史，”她根据美联社的报道说。
“We will continue to defend our integrity, our sovereignty, our independence, our history,” she said, according to The Associated Press.
罗德里格斯在1月份接管权力，此前美国军事行动推翻了时任总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗。
Rodriguez assumed power in January after the U.S. military operation that ousted then-President Nicolás Maduro.
