白宫否认国防部部长彼得·赫格塞思和国务卿马可·鲁比奥可能因特朗普政府election后洗牌而辞职的传闻。
The White House has denied rumours that Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio might leave their jobs in a post-election shakeup of the Trump administration.
美国媒体已报道有人呼吁替换赫格塞思，特别是针对他处理伊朗战争的方式，该方式被指责为导致共和党在选举中遭受重创的原因。
US media have reported there are calls to replace Hegseth - in particular over his handling of the Iran war, which is being blamed for heavy Republican election losses.
一名即将离任的共和党国会议员威胁，最早下周就会对赫格塞思提出弹劾投票。国防部长发布了一段视频声明，为自己辩护并谴责了这一努力。
One outgoing congressional Republican has threatened to force an impeachment vote against Hegseth as early as next week. The defence secretary posted a video statement defending his record and denouncing the effort.
“你们攻击我，攻击我们，因为我们很有效，”他说。“这不会奏效。我们不会退让。”与此同时，鲁比奥否认了有关他考虑在2028年总统竞选前离开职位的报道。
"You see, they attack me. They attack us because we are effective," he said. "It's not going to work. We will not back down." Meanwhile, Rubio is denying reports he is considering leaving his post ahead of a 2028 presidential run.
鲁比奥对《纽约时报》的采访中表示，在特朗普任期结束前一直任职“始终是我的计划”。
Working for Trump until the end of his term has "always been my plan," Rubio told The New York Times in an interview.
“我喜欢我正在做的工作，”鲁比奥说。”而且每当有人说他要离开职位时，我总是笑着说：'哪一个？'“白宫和美国国务院也关闭了有关鲁比奥可能在本届中期选举失利后离职的报道，双方均称之为”假新闻”。不过，赫格塞思面临的政治前景更加不确定。
"I love the work I'm doing," Rubio said. "And plus I always laugh when they say he's going to leave his job. I go, 'Which one?'" The White House and US State Department also shut down reports that Rubio might be leaving after this week's midterm losses, with both calling it "fake news". The defence secretary, though, faces a more uncertain political future.
特朗普和副总统JD·万斯都将共和党在选举中的失利归咎于伊朗战争，这场战争使民主党获得了对众议院和参议院的控制权。
Trump and Vice-President JD Vance have both blamed the Iran war for Republican losses that allowed Democrats full control of the US House of Representatives and the Senate.
在接受ABC新闻的电话采访时，特朗普表示，他收到了“关于”赫格塞思的“电话”，但补充说他有“完全的意愿”留住他。
In a telephone interview with ABC News, Trump said that he had received "calls about" Hegseth, but added that he had "every intention" of keeping him.
周四晚些时候，他在白宫告诉记者，“彼得·赫格塞思做得非常出色”，并列举了他所认为的他的部分成就，包括今年一月逮捕委内瑞拉领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗以及伊朗战争——目前已进入第九个月。结果：美国投票情况图文解析解读：特朗普表现不佳的五大原因祖尔彻：中期选举惨败削弱特朗普，但目前他仍握有权力分析：万斯在严厉批评选举时走在特朗普的钢丝上，指责伊朗战争《华盛顿邮报》周四报道称，特朗普可能正在考虑罢免参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩将军或美国中央司令部司令布拉德·库珀海军上将。两人在为八个月前开始的战争提供指导方面发挥了重要作用。
Later on Thursday, he told reporters at the White House that "Pete Hegseth has done a fantastic job", and went on to list what he sees are some of his achievements, including the arrest of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro in January and the Iran war, now into its ninth month. RESULTS: How America voted in maps and charts EXPLAINER: Five reasons why Trump did so badly ZURCHER: Midterm carnage weakens Trump but he still wields power for now ANALYSIS: Vance walks Trump tightrope with scathing election critique blaming Iran war The Washington Post reported on Thursday that Trump might be, however, considering ousting General Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or Centcom chief Admiral Brad Cooper. Both played significant roles in offering guidance on the war, which started eight months ago.
与此同时，共和党众议员托马斯·马西（Thomas Massie）——特朗普的常年批评者——表示，他将继续推进弹劾赫格斯（Hegseth）的计划。
Meanwhile, Republican Representative Thomas Massie, a frequent critic of Trump, has said he will push ahead with plans to push for Hegseth's impeachment.
他告诉新闻网站Politico，他将在下周初触发弹劾国防部长的决议。
He told news site Politico that he will trigger his resolution to impeach the defence secretary early next week.
他在X上警告说，总统应该在新一届由民主党控制的国会于一月组成之前更换赫格斯。
And on X, he warned that the president should replace Hegseth before a new Democratic-controlled Congress forms in January.
“他应该在他还能让继任者在参议院获得确认的时候就这么做，”马西在赫格斯也可能对竞选田纳西州一个空出的参议员席位感兴趣的传闻中写道。
"He should do it while he can still get the replacements confirmed in the Senate," Massie wrote on Hegseth has also been rumoured to be interested in running for an open Tennessee Senate seat.
在视频声明中，赫格斯谴责了来自“一个心怀不满、失败的国会议员以及他所有的民主党盟友”针对他的“虚假弹劾条款”的努力，并列举了该部门在他的领导下如何实现了特朗普的“美国优先”议程。
In his video statement, Hegseth denounced the "sham articles of impeachment" effort against him from a "disgruntled, defeated congressman, along with all his Democrat allies", and listed ways the department has fulfilled Trump's America First agenda under his leadership.
他说，这包括恢复兵役招募、重建国防工业基础以及根除多元化倡议。
That includes, he said, reviving military recruitment, rebuilding the defence industrial base, and rooting out diversity initiatives.
关于民主党人，他说：“他们的政策不起作用。所以他们对伪装成权力的政治表演的痴迷驱使他们试图摧毁他们的对手。这完全是关于个人毁灭的政治。”
Of the Democrats, he said: "Their policies don't work. So their obsession with political theatre disguised as power drives them to try to destroy their opponents.
