特朗普总统周二在大选日签署了两项关于太空和反共的公告。总统签署了《美国太空自由宣言》，该宣言称地球的太阳系和外太空“向美国公民开放，供其探索、开发、利用和建立永久存在”。
President Trump marked Election Day by issuing two proclamations on space and anti-communism Tuesday. The president signed "the American Declaration of Freedom in Space,” which states Earth’s solar system and outer space “are open to exploration, development, use, and the establishment of a permanent presence” by U.S. citizens.
特朗普签署的第二项公告宣布11月1日至7日为“反共周”。“我呼吁所有美国人坚定地捍卫美国生活方式免受任何威胁，保护我们燃烧的自由之火免受共产主义黑暗的侵蚀，”特朗普在公告中说。
A second proclamation Trump signed declared Nov. 1-7 "Anti-communism Week.”“I call upon all Americans to stand firm in their defense against any threat to the American way of life and to protect our burning flame of liberty from the darkness of communism,” Trump said in the proclamation.
这些公告的发布正值大选日首批投票站关闭之际。民调显示，特朗普和共和党在捍卫其在众议院和参议院的多数席位之战中面临艰难攀登，因为民主党猛烈抨击政府对物价负担能力和经济的处理。“总统已全力以赴，做了一切必要的事。共和党现在的处境比四周前好多了，”一名白宫官员告诉《国会山报》。
The announcement of the proclamations comes as the first polls close on Election Day. Polls show Trump and Republicans facing an uphill climb in their battle to defend their majorities in the House and the Senate as Democrats hammer Republicans over the administration’s handling of affordability and the economy. "The President has left it all out on the field and he’s done everything that was needed. Republicans are in a better spot now than they were four weeks ago,” a White House official told The Hill.
预计特朗普将于周二晚在白宫东厅的选举观摩派对上关注计票结果。
Trump is expected to watch the results come in during an election watch party in the White House East Room Tuesday evening.
