美国战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯回击了要求弹劾他的最新呼声,将这一举动斥为“政治戏码”,并誓言民主党和共和党批评者的压力不会迫使他离开特朗普政府。
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has pushed back against renewed calls for his impeachment, dismissing the effort as “political theatre” and vowing that pressure from Democrats and Republican critics would not force him out of the Trump administration.
赫格塞斯在X平台发布的一段视频信息中,直接回应了共和党众议员托马斯·马西的弹劾威胁。马西已表示,除非赫格塞斯辞职,否则他计划下周重新提交针对这位国防部长的弹劾条款。
In a video message posted on X, Hegseth directly addressed the impeachment threat from Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, who has indicated that he plans to reintroduce articles of impeachment against the defense secretary next week unless he resigns.“Didn't work against President Trump, and it won't work with me. You can rest assured of that,” Hegseth said, referring to previous impeachment attempts against Trump.
“针对特朗普总统没奏效,对我也不会奏效。你们可以放心,”赫格塞斯说道,指的是此前针对特朗普的弹劾尝试。他的言论发表之际,特朗普政府正面临越来越大的政治压力,这源于共和党在11月3日中期选举中的挫折,以及对其处理与伊朗冲突方式的批评。
His remarks come as the Trump administration faces mounting political pressure following Republican setbacks in the November 3 midterm elections and criticism over its handling of the conflict with Iran.
赫格塞斯驳回弹劾威胁赫格塞斯将弹劾行动描述为政治对手试图削弱政府,而非追究其官员问责的尝试。“这与我无关。
Hegseth dismisses impeachment threatHegseth described the impeachment effort as an attempt by political opponents to undermine the administration rather than hold its officials accountable.“This is not about me. But of course, the other side, in case you've noticed, they're obsessed,” he said, referring to a “disgruntled, defeated congressman” and his Democratic allies.
“但当然,另一方,如果你注意到了,他们着了魔,”他说,指的是一名“心怀不满、落败的众议员”及其民主党盟友。他指责批评者利用政治表演针对对手,并补充道:“这全都是毁灭人格的政治手段。”
He accused his critics of using political theatre to target opponents, adding: “It's all about the politics of personal destruction.”
梅西曾在11月4日于X平台发帖发出警告,将赫格塞斯辞职作为他不再提出弹劾条款的唯一条件。“有一种情况我不重新提出弹劾条款:赫格塞斯辞职,”梅西写道。为伊朗军事行动辩护,寻求3500亿美元国防拨款在回应弹劾威胁的同时,赫格塞斯为特朗普政府针对伊朗的军事行动进行了辩护,将其描述为防止德黑兰获取核武器的“勇敢且具有历史意义的努力”。“当我们说伊朗不会拥有核武器时,我们是认真的,我们将在特朗普总统的领导下付诸艰辛努力以确保这一点,”他说。
Massie had issued his warning in a November 4 post on X, making Hegseth's resignation the only condition under which he would not bring forward the impeachment articles.“There is one contingency in which I won't reintroduce the articles of impeachment: Hegseth resigns,” Massie wrote. Defends Iran campaign, seeks $350 billion in defense fundingAlongside his response to the impeachment threat, Hegseth defended the Trump administration's military campaign against Iran, describing it as a “courageous and historic effort” to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.“When we say that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon, we actually mean it, and we will do the hard work to ensure it under the leadership of President Trump,” he said.
这位国防部长还呼吁国会批准额外军费开支,包括一项至少价值3500亿美元的协调法案。他辩称,这笔资金对于增强美军能力、在日益严峻的国际安全挑战中保持美国优势至关重要。“战争部必须获得资金以应对当前时刻,”赫格塞斯表示,敦促两党议员支持这项拟议投资。他还为自己领导下的部门工作进行了辩护,并敦促美军现役人员不要被政治争议分心。
The defense secretary also called on Congress to approve additional military spending, including a reconciliation bill worth at least $350 billion. He argued that the funding was necessary to strengthen US military capabilities and maintain the country's advantage amid growing international security challenges.“The Department of War must be funded to meet the moment right now,” Hegseth said, urging lawmakers from both parties to support the proposed investment. He also defended the department's work under his leadership and urged US service members not to be distracted by the political controversy.
特朗普力挺赫格塞斯,批评声浪不断赫格塞斯的处境也因政府对伊朗冲突的处理方式而受到民主党议员的审视。众议院军事委员会成员、众议员杰森·克罗称这位国防部长“无能”,并辩称其继续领导将使美国现役军人……面临风险。然而,特朗普公开力挺赫格塞斯,称他做得“非常出色”,并表示“完全打算”让他留任政府。
Trump backs Hegseth amid growing criticismHegseth's position has also come under scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers over the administration's handling of the Iran conflict. Representative Jason Crow, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, has called the defense secretary “incompetent” and argued that his continued leadership puts American service members at risk. However, Trump has publicly stood by Hegseth, saying he had done a “fantastic job” and that he had “every intention” of keeping him in the administration.
与此同时,赫格塞斯在信的结尾敦促部队尽管面临政治争议仍专注于职责。“致全体官兵:不要眨眼。
“忽略噪音,绝不犹豫,”他说,并补充说该部门将继续在特朗普的领导下开展工作。
Hegseth, meanwhile, closed his message by urging troops to remain focused on their duties despite the political controversy.“To the troops: Don't blink. Ignore the noise. Never hesitate,” he said, adding that the department would continue its work under Trump's leadership.
