共和党在周二的惨败在欧洲引发了暗自的欢欣，在伊朗则引发了狂喜，各国纷纷评估一个受国内掣肘的白宫。
Republicans’ resounding defeat Tuesday prompted quiet jubilation in Europe and exultation in Iran, as foreign capitals sized up a domestically constrained White House.
德黑兰方面声称，在有关伊朗谈判代表拖延谈判以维持美国高油价的报道传出后，伊朗让美国总统唐纳德·特朗普遭遇了“战场上的战略失败……以及华盛顿的政治失败”。
Tehran took credit for handing US President Donald Trump “a strategic defeat on the battlefield… and a POLITICAL DEFEAT in Washington,” following reports that Iranian negotiators stalled talks to keep US gas prices high.
华盛顿的欧洲盟友大多保持沉默，尽管意大利前总理表示，得益于“蓝色浪潮”，“欧洲强大得多”。这些盟友在过去两年中因军费开支、乌克兰战争和格陵兰问题与美国经历了摩擦。其他人则没那么乐观。法国经济部长承认特朗普“相当被削弱”，但指出这位“不可预测”的总统仍然“掌管着国际政策”。
Washington’s European allies, who have navigated two years of friction with the US over military funding, the Ukraine war, and Greenland, were largely silent, though Italy’s former prime minister said “Europe is much stronger” thanks to the “blue wave.”Others were less sanguine. Trump is “quite weakened,” France’s economy minister acknowledged, but noted that the “unpredictable” president remains “in charge of international policy.”
