安德烈娅·罗德里格斯 哈瓦那 —— 古巴周五迎回了一名被美国驱逐的外交官，此前本周两国代表在联合国发生了一场异常激烈的对峙。
ANDREA RODRÍGUEZ HAVANA — Cuba on Friday welcomed home a diplomat expelled by the United States after an unusually heated confrontation between the two countries’ representatives at the United Nations this week .
古巴外交副部长赫拉尔多·佩尼亚尔韦尔在社交媒体X上发布了一张照片，照片中古巴驻联合国使团一等秘书理查德·图尔·德拉孔塞普西翁与外交部官员一起，在哈瓦那机场手持古巴国旗。这是古巴自美国国务院宣布将对图尔采取行动以来的首次公开回应，当时图尔试图打掉一名美国外交官手中的手机。
Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister Gerardo Peñalver posted a photo of Richard Tur de la Concepción, first secretary of Cuba’s U.N. mission, alongside Foreign Ministry officials holding a Cuban flag at Havana’s airport. It was Cuba’s first public response since the U.S. State Department announced it would take action against Tur after he tried to knock a phone out of a U.S. diplomat’s hand.
“我们欢迎这位年轻外交官回家，”佩尼亚尔韦尔在X上写道，称图尔“坚定且有尊严地对抗了”美国代表团“无礼且挑衅的行为”。
“We welcomed the young diplomat home,” Peñalver wrote on X, saying Tur had “firmly and with dignity confronted the disrespectful and provocative behavior” of the U.S. delegation.
佩尼亚尔韦尔指责美国官员试图干扰一项谴责美国对古巴实施封锁的决议投票，并破坏图尔竞选一个联合国机构职位的资格。
Peñalver accused U.S. officials of trying to disrupt a vote on a resolution condemning the U.S. embargo on Cuba and undermine Tur’s candidacy for a position on a U.N. body.
图尔被驱逐的消息由美国驻联合国大使迈克·沃尔茨宣布，随后得到美国国务院证实。
Tur’s expulsion was announced by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz and later confirmed by the U.S. State Department.
美国官员指控图尔推搡一名美国外交官，并试图抢夺该外交官用于记录双方周二在联大关于封锁问题会议期间冲突的手机。
U.S. officials accused Tur of shoving an American diplomat and trying to snatch the phone he was using to record their confrontation Tuesday during a General Assembly session on the embargo.
事态升级为沃尔茨与古巴外交部长布鲁诺·罗德里格斯之间的口角。古巴方面称，图尔是在个人空间受到侵犯后进行自卫。
The encounter escalated into a shouting match between Waltz and Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez . Cuba said Tur was defending himself after his personal space was invaded.
这场对峙发生之际，自美国总统唐纳德·特朗普1月对古巴实施能源封锁、试图迫使其改变政府和政治体制以来，两国关系紧张程度不断加深。华盛顿还曾威胁对这个加勒比国家采取军事行动。
The confrontation came as tensions between the two countries have deepened since U.S. President Donald Trump imposed an energy blockade on Cuba in January in a bid to force changes to its government and political system. Washington has also threatened military action against the Caribbean nation.
佩尼亚尔韦尔表示，美国代表团的行为是阻挠针对其所谓“种族灭绝式封锁”决议投票战略的一部分。图尔周五在X上发帖，感谢古巴官员的迎接。“古巴将战胜扬基的傲慢以及任何企图恐吓我们的人，”他写道。
Peñalver said the U.S. delegation’s behavior was part of a strategy to obstruct the vote against what he called the “genocidal blockade.”Tur thanked Cuban officials for his reception in a post on X on Friday. “Cuba will prevail over Yankee arrogance and anyone who seeks to intimidate us,” he wrote.
联合大会周三以130票赞成、17票反对、25票弃权通过了古巴提出的决议。这项无约束力的、呼吁结束美国封锁的决议每年都会提出。
The General Assembly approved Cuba’s resolution Wednesday by a vote of 130-17, with 25 abstentions. The nonbinding measure calling for an end to the U.S. embargo is introduced annually.
