密歇根州民主党参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德周三表示，美国需要通过“外交手段”打击墨西哥贩毒集团，并将这些集团的崛起归咎于美国枪支。
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed said Wednesday the U.S. needs to work "diplomatically" to combat Mexican cartels and blamed American guns for their rise.
在接受《时刻播客》采访时，埃尔-赛义德被联合主持人豪尔赫·拉莫斯和保拉·拉莫斯问及特朗普政府自2025年唐纳德·特朗普总统第二任期开始以来打击墨西哥贩毒集团的努力。当被问及是否支持动用军队或无人机时，埃尔-赛义德拒绝了这一想法，并表示美国对这些集团的崛起负有一定责任。
Appearing on "The Moment Podcast," El-Sayed was asked by co-hosts Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos about the Trump administration's efforts to fight Mexican cartels since the beginning of President Donald Trump's second term in 2025. When asked whether he would support using troops or drones, El-Sayed rejected the idea and suggested that the U.S. bears some responsibility for their rise.
“说清楚了，美国制造的枪支要为许多贩毒集团负责，”埃尔-赛义德说。
"Let's be clear, American-manufactured guns are responsible for a lot of the cartels," El-Sayed said.
他强调需要“通过外交手段工作”，以解决毒品和枪支跨境流动的问题，并“遏制”他所谓的涉及美国枪支的“贩毒集团行为”。
He emphasized the need to be "working diplomatically" to address the flow of drugs and guns across the border and "contain" what he referred to as "cartel behavior" involving U.S. guns.
“我们需要与墨西哥对应部门合作，支持他们遏制贩毒集团的努力，”埃尔-赛义德说。“遏制贩毒集团并不意味着我们越过边境采取类似战争的行动。这意味着与他们并肩工作，询问枪支流向何方，这些枪支日后可能会演变成边境那边的贩毒集团行为。”
"We need to be working with Mexican counterparts to support them in an effort to contain cartels," El-Sayed said. "Containing cartels doesn't mean that we go and do war-like actions south of the border. It means working alongside them to ask what is the flow of guns that might be turned into cartel behavior down the stretch."
“我们如何解决我们这边的问题？”他继续说道。“我们如何认真对待贩毒集团行为这一复杂体系，又如何阻止芬太尼向北流动？”
"How do we address our side of things?" he continued. "And how do we get serious about the complex system that is cartel behavior and how do we stop the flow of fentanyl coming northward?"
埃尔-赛义德的竞选团队向福克斯新闻数字频道重申了他的立场，称：“阿卜杜勒指的是与墨西哥政府合作打击贩毒集团，以防止枪支和非法毒品跨境流动。”福克斯新闻数字频道已联系白宫和国土安全部置评，但未立即收到回复。
El-Sayed's campaign reiterated his position to Fox News Digital, saying, "Abdul was referring to working with the Mexican government to crack down on the cartels to prevent the flow of guns and illegal drugs across the border." Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and the Department of Homeland Security for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
尽管埃尔-赛义德批评对跨境毒品和枪支缺乏管控，但他此前曾呼吁废除移民与海关执法局（ICE）。
Although El-Sayed criticized the lack of control over drugs or guns crossing the border, he previously called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
埃尔-赛义德的言论发表于特朗普政府通过财政部制裁了与锡那罗亚贩毒集团“马约派”有关联的21名个人和25个实体一个月之后。
El-Sayed's comments came a month after the Trump administration, through the Treasury Department, sanctioned 21 individuals and 25 entities linked to Los Mayos, a faction of the Sinaloa cartel.
财政部长斯科特·贝森特当时对福克斯新闻数字频道表示：“今天的行动凸显了没有任何贩毒集团头目、腐败的墨西哥政府官员或金融协助者能逃脱财政部权力的触角。我们的信息很明确：特朗普政府将识别并瓦解任何威胁我们安全或金融体系完整性的贩毒集团行为体。”
"Today’s action underscores that no cartel kingpin, corrupt Mexican government official, or financial facilitator is beyond the reach of Treasury’s authorities," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News Digital at the time. "Our message is clear: the Trump administration will identify and disrupt any cartel actor who threatens our security or the integrity of our financial system."
