基尔·斯塔默爵士:欧洲不能依赖美国为国防买单 基尔警告称,“事物不会回到过去的样子”,他表示,美国已明确不再为盟友“买单”。

Sir Keir Starmer: Europe can't rely on US bankroll for defence Sir Keir warns that "things will not go back to the way they were" as he says the US makes it clear it will no longer "bankroll" its allies.

基尔·斯塔默爵士表示,欧洲应建立共同安全框架,警告称,其与美国的国防关系发生的变化是永久性的,而非特朗普总统任期内的“异常现象”。

Sir Keir Starmer has said Europe should build a common security framework, warning the change in its defence relationship with the US is permanent rather than "an aberration of the Trump presidency".

这位前英国首相周五晚在都柏林的英爱商会(BICC)晚宴上发表讲话。

The former prime minister was speaking at a British Irish Chamber of Commerce (BICC) dinner in Dublin on Friday evening.

基尔爵士表示,欧洲需要一个“共同安全框架”,如同需要共同市场一样,而英国应处于其核心地位。

Sir Keir said a "common security framework" for Europe was needed as much as a common market, with the UK at its centre.

他警告称,“事物不会回到过去的样子”,并补充说,美国已明确不再为其欧洲盟友“买单”。

He warned that "things will not go back to the way they were," adding that the US had made clear it will no longer "bankroll" its European allies.

他在都柏林市政厅对听众表示,他的言论并不意味着“美英关系不再重要”,据联合社报道。

He told the crowd in Dublin City Hall his comments did not mean "the US relationship is no longer important," as reported by the Press Association.

相反,他说,英美军事、安全和情报联盟“远远牢固到不会那样”。但他表示,欧洲必须能够“为自身的国防和安全承担更多责任”。

Rather he said the UK-USA military, security and intelligence alliance was "far too strong for that". But he said Europe must be enabled to "take on far more responsibility for its own defence and security".

特朗普称北约新的5%国防开支承诺是“大胜利”“欧洲两次措手不及——未能预见并为可预见的事件做好准备,”他说。

Trump says Nato's new 5% defence spending pledge a 'big win' "Europe has twice been caught asleep – failing to anticipate and prepare for predictable events," he said.

“第一次是俄罗斯对乌克兰的攻击暴露了欧洲长期存在的国防和安全弱点;第二次是特朗普总统一劳永逸地表明,美国不再为欧洲安全买单。我们必须赶上来,”他补充道。

"First when Russia's attack on Ukraine exposed long-standing European weaknesses on defence and security; and second when President Trump made clear, once and for all, that the US will no longer bankroll our European security. We have to catch up," he added. He added: "I will say here what I have said to European leaders.

他补充说:“我在这里说,也是我对欧洲领导人说过的话。这是关于应对事态的永久性变化,而非特朗普总统任期内的异常现象。事物不会回到过去的样子。基尔爵士出席晚宴是为了接受英爱商会颁发的荣誉终身会员资格。

This is about responding to a permanent change of affairs, not an aberration of the Trump presidency. Things will not go back to the way they were before. Sir Keir was at the dinner to be awarded an honorary life membership from the BICC.

基尔爵士表示,增加国防开支只是其中一部分,但挑战“远不止于此”。“我们需要在欧洲范围内加强国防和安全领域的合作与协调——既要有共同的安全框架,也要有共同的市场,”他说。

Sir Keir said increased defence spending was part of the picture, but that the challenge "goes far beyond that." "We need to build up pan-European co-operation and co-ordination on defence and security – a common security framework as much as a common market," he said.

“欧盟正在为此做出改变,”他警告说,当欧洲的边缘地区关乎其国防时,“不能只靠欧盟一家”。去年7月,基尔爵士表示,在他卸任首相后,他将与特朗普总统“保持联系”。

"The EU is changing to respond to that," he said, warning that it "cannot be the EU alone when Europe's periphery is core to its defence." In July Sir Keir said he would "keep in touch" with President Trump after his time as prime minister ended.

两人在共事的最初几个月里建立了良好的关系,基尔爵士的团队当时将其列为他执政期间最大的成功之一。

The pair developed a positive relationship in their opening months of working together, which Sir Keir's team highlighted at the time as one of the biggest successes of his premiership.

但特朗普后来嘲讽基尔爵士“不是丘吉尔”,原因是双方就拒绝允许使用英国基地进行美国和以色列对伊朗的初步打击而发生争执,以及特朗普多次批评英国对冲突的回应。

But Trump later mocked Sir Keir as being "no Winston Churchill" in a row over the refusal to permit the use of UK bases for the initial US-Israel strikes on Iran, and the repeated his criticism of the UK's response to the conflict.

当被问及特朗普在他准备离开唐宁街10号时是否向他表示祝福时,基尔爵士说:“是的,他这样做了,我们将保持联系。”

Sir Keir, asked whether Trump had wished him well as he prepared to leave Downing Street, said: "Yes he did, and we're going to stay in touch."
