《纽约时报》周二报道，特朗普政府正在与委内瑞拉谈判一项军事协议，这可能为美军在该国潜在的长期驻留铺平道路。
The Trump administration is negotiating a military agreement with Venezuela that could pave the way for a potential long-term US troop presence in the country, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
美国官员在匿名条件下向该报透露，由国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥领导的国务院正在与委内瑞拉官员就部队地位协定（SOFA）进行谈判。
The State Department, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, is conducting talks with Venezuelan officials on a status of forces agreement (SOFA), US officials told the newspaper on condition of anonymity.
据报道，该协议将为美军开展双方商定的活动建立“法律框架”，包括舰船访问、训练、军事演习和人道主义援助。
The agreement would establish a "legal framework" for US forces to conduct mutually agreed activities, including ship visits, training, military exercises and humanitarian assistance, according to the report.
报道称，潜在美军驻留的细节，包括部队人数和地点，将通过未来的协议决定。
Details of a potential US military presence, including troop numbers and locations, would be determined through future agreements, the report said.
不过，一位国务院高级官员被引述称，关于在委内瑞拉建立美军基地的讨论“还远着呢”，并补充说目前没有就该问题进行谈判。
However, a senior State Department official was quoted as saying that discussions about establishing US military bases in Venezuela were "way, way down the road," adding that there were no current talks on the issue.
美国于1月3日在委内瑞拉实施了一次军事行动，抓捕了马杜罗总统及其妻子西莉亚·弗洛雷斯。特朗普表示，其政府将在过渡期“管理”委内瑞拉及其石油资产。
The US carried out a military operation in Venezuela on Jan. 3, seizing President Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. Trump said his administration would "run" Venezuela and its oil assets during a transition period.
时任副总统德尔西·罗德里格斯于1月5日宣誓就任临时总统，在被捕两天后在国民议会前宣誓。
Then-Vice President Delcy Rodriguez was sworn in as interim president on Jan. 5, taking the oath before the National Assembly two days after the capture.
