JD万斯通往白宫之路变得更加艰难。美国副总统可能是唐纳德·特朗普的政治继承人，但这意味着他也将继承所有问题。
JD Vance’s path to the White House has become more difficult. The US vice-president may be Donald Trump’s political heir, but that means he inherits all his problems as well.
万斯先生已经背负着负担能力危机和伊朗战争这两块磨石，为2028年总统选举做准备。
Mr Vance already had the millstones of an affordability crisis and the Iran War around his neck for the 2028 presidential election.
周二，当美国人前往投票站时，特朗普宣布将在年底前停止对以色列的所有援助，为他的潜在继承人制造了另一个问题。
Then on Tuesday, as Americans went to the polls, Mr Trump announced he was ending all aid to Israel by the end of the year, creating another problem for his potential heir.
美国首次在比尔·克林顿政府时期根据一项谅解备忘录同意向以色列提供军事援助。此后，该备忘录在乔治·W·布什和巴拉克·奥巴马政府时期进行了更新。特朗普抨击民主党“疯子”最新一项协议提供380亿美元（280亿英镑）的援助，原计划持续到2028年，但特朗普周二表示他心中有更短的时间表。“将在年底停止，”他告诉福克斯新闻，这是他最喜欢的广播公司。
The US first agreed to provide military aid to Israel under a memorandum of understanding during Bill Clinton’s administration. It was subsequently updated under George W Bush and Barack Obama. Trump’s attack on Democrat ‘lunatics’The latest, providing $38bn (£28bn) in assistance, was meant to last until 2028, but Mr Trump said on Tuesday he had a shorter timetable in mind. “It gets cut off at the end of the year,” he told Fox News, his favourite broadcaster.
特朗普声称，以色列不再需要“东西和钱”的帮助，因为它是一个“非常繁荣的国家”。
Mr Trump claimed Israel no longer needed help for “things and money” because it was a “very thriving country”.
更重要的是，总统表示，他正在承受来自民主党“疯子”的太多批评。他说话时，数百万人正在参加中期选举，这场选举将决定特朗普是否能继续掌控国会。
More to the point, the president said, he was taking too much criticism from “lunatics” in the Democratic Party. As he spoke, millions were voting in the midterm elections, which will decide whether Mr Trump keeps hold of Congress.
他声称这个想法来自本杰明·内塔尼亚胡——考虑到以色列总理曾建议在10年内逐步削减援助，这可能有一定道理。
He claimed the idea came from Benjamin Netanyahu – which probably had a grain of truth to it, considering the Israeli prime minister had suggested tapering aid over a 10-year period.
但内塔尼亚胡似乎是在建议一项新的谅解备忘录，将逐步削减军事援助，或许就像布什政府逐步撤回经济援助的方式一样。该计划在福克斯新闻上几秒钟内就被撕得粉碎。
But Mr Netanyahu appeared to be suggesting a new memorandum of understanding that would gradually wind down military aid, perhaps in the same way the Bush administration gradually withdrew economic aid. That plan was torn to shreds in a few seconds on Fox News.
