佛罗里达州西棕榈滩/华盛顿电 11月8日——特朗普政府官员和其他共和党人表示,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普决定提拔忠诚派斯蒂芬·米勒(Stephen Miller)来掌管白宫,表明他计划在其任期的最后两年加剧对抗,并抵御来自外部的政治和经济压力。

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida/WASHINGTON, Nov 8 - President Donald Trump's decision to elevate loyalist Stephen Miller to run his White House indicates that he plans to ramp up confrontation in his final two years in office and block outside political and economic pressures, Trump administration officials and other Republicans say.

接受路透社采访的官员和专家表示,选民在周二的中期选举中对共和党发出了历史性的谴责,但在米勒担任白宫办公厅主任的情况下,预计特朗普政府将继续其强硬的移民打击行动,放大文化冲突,并且绝不向民主党掌控的国会妥协。他们表示,动摇的共和党人将面临更大的压力以保持一致,而企业向白宫陈述诉求可能会变得更加困难。

Voters delivered a historic rebuke to Republicans in Tuesday's midterm election, but with Miller as White House chief of staff, the Trump administration is expected to continue its aggressive immigration crackdown, amplify cultural conflicts and give no ground to a Democratic-controlled Congress, say officials and experts who spoke to Reuters. They say wavering Republicans will face increased pressure to stay in line, while businesses may have a harder time making their case to the White House.

特朗普的捐款人兼能源高管丹·埃伯哈特(Dan Eberhart)表示:“这发出了一个信号,即在最后两年里,政府将采取困兽犹斗式的斗争方法。”

"This signals the administration is going to have a fighting-from-a-bunker approach the last two years," said Dan Eberhart, a Trump donor and energy executive.

尽管特朗普曾表示他可以与民主党合作,但之中期选举结果明朗以来,他展现出了好斗的姿态。

Although Trump has said he can work with Democrats, he has shown a feisty approach since the midterm election results became clear.

周六,他下令司法部“调查”他指控向共和党捐款人和其他特朗普盟友发送“恐吓信”的民主党人。这位总统还向综合格斗赛事推广人达娜·怀特(Dana White)提供了白宫新闻秘书的职位。“这个男人拯救了美国”现年41岁的米勒与即将卸任的办公厅主任苏西·维尔斯(Susie Wiles)形成了鲜明对比,后者是一名曾运作特朗普2024年总统竞选的前说客。

On Saturday he ordered the Justice Department to "look into" Democrats whom he accused of sending "threatening letters" to Republican donors and other Trump allies. The president also offered the job of White House press secretary to combat sports promoter Dana White. 'THIS MAN SAVED AMERICA' Miller, 41, marks a sharp contrast with outgoing chief of staff Susie Wiles, a former lobbyist who ran Trump's 2024 presidential campaign.

维尔斯缺乏丰富的华盛顿经验,但被视为平衡各方利益的精明管理者。相比之下,米勒无论在盟友还是对手眼中,都被视为一名具有战斗性的意识形态者,他深谙权力的运作机制,且对特朗普忠心耿耿。

Wiles lacked significant Washington experience but was seen as a deft manager of competing interests. Miller, by contrast, is regarded by allies and foes alike as a combative ideologue with a deep knowledge of the levers of power and an unswerving loyalty to Trump.

米勒周五在特朗普位于佛罗里达州的庄园举行的一场活动上表示:“如果不是为了特朗普总统,美利坚合众国现在就不会存在。这个男人拯救了美国。”

"If it wasn't for President Trump, the United States of America would not exist right now. This man saved America," Miller said at an event at Trump's Florida estate on Friday.

米勒于2016年加入特朗普的首场总统竞选,并在其两届白宫任期内一直担任要职。他最为人所知的是推动了特朗普强硬的打击移民行动,这激发了特朗普支持者的热情,但也疏远了许多选民。

Miller joined Trump's first presidential campaign in 2016 and served throughout his two terms in the White House. He is best known for driving Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown, which has galvanized Trump's supporters but alienated many voters.

根据路透社/益普索10月份的一项民意调查,只有37%的人赞成特朗普对移民的处理方式,低于他上任时的50%。

Only 37% approve of Trump's handling of immigration, according to an October Reuters/Ipsos poll, down from 50% when he took office.

不过,四位美国移民官员告诉路透社,目前没有任何迹象表明政府会放松松手。一位不愿透露姓名的官员表示:“没有任何改变,配额照旧。”

Still, four US immigration officials told Reuters that there have been no signs that the administration will let up. "Nothing is changing, same quotas," said one official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

即将退休的内布拉斯加州共和党众议员唐·培根(Don Bacon)偶有批评特朗普之举,他告诉路透社,当他和同僚共和党议员试图在选举前警告米勒,即特朗普的移民和关税政策正在赶走选民时,米勒“处于否认现实的状态”。

Representative Don Bacon of Nebraska, an occasional Trump critic who is retiring, told Reuters that Miller "was in denial" as he and other Republican lawmakers tried to warn him before the election that Trump's immigration and tariff policies were driving away voters.

培根说:“我们当时说:‘你们会给我们带来一场糟糕的中期选举’,但他拒绝接受。”“在失败的战略上加倍下注”白宫表示,米勒将在其新角色中继续取得“历史性成功”,但培根表示,他在众议院的大多数同僚认为这是“在失败的战略上加倍下注”。培根谈到米勒的任命时说:“这在国会大部分人看来反响极差。”

"We said, 'You're going to give us a bad midterm election,' and he rejected it," Bacon said. 'DOUBLING DOWN ON A FAILED STRATEGY' The White House said Miller will continue to deliver "historic successes" in his new role, but Bacon said most of his peers in the House view it as "doubling down on a failed strategy." "It's going over like a lead balloon in most of Congress," Bacon said of Miller's appointment.

米勒还曾负责监督特朗普的行政命令,这让他对总统可用的行政工具有了广泛的了解。多位接受本篇报道采访的人士表示,他们预计白宫将更多地依赖行政命令,而不是与议员合作。

Miller also has overseen Trump's executive orders, giving him an expansive understanding of the administrative tools available to the president. Several people interviewed for this story said they expect the White House to rely on executive orders more extensively rather than working with lawmakers.

共和党议员将面临压力,在即将到来的由民主党主导的调查中坚定支持特朗普,即便这些调查会损害整个党派的利益。

Republican legislators will face pressure to stick with Trump through Democratic-led investigations to come, even if they damage the party as a whole.

共和党战略家罗恩·邦让(Ron Bonjean)说:“国会山那些想要与特朗普政府划清界限的人将会明白,斯蒂芬·米勒是不会坐视不管的。”结束对伊朗的战争?

“Those on Capitol Hill looking to break away from the Trump administration will know that Stephen Miller is not going to sit idly by and watch that happen," said Republican strategist Ron Bonjean. ENDING THE IRAN WAR?

除了他职业生涯大部分时间所关注的国内问题外,米勒现在将在外交事务中拥有更大的发言权。据三位熟悉其想法且不愿透露姓名的消息人士透露,米勒反对延长与伊朗的战争,但他强烈支持以色列——这可能会使他与一位曾威胁恢复对伊朗打击并宣布将结束对耶路撒冷援助的总统产生意见分歧。

As well as the domestic issues he has focused on for most of his career, Miller now will have a greater say in foreign affairs. Miller opposes prolonging the war with Iran, according to three sources familiar with his thinking who spoke on condition of anonymity, but he strongly supports Israel — potentially putting him at odds with a president who has threatened to resume strikes on Iran and announced he will end aid to Jerusalem.

米勒的晋升也让一些企业说客感到不安,他们担心他对他们关切的问题不会像维尔斯那样积极回应,维尔斯曾与高管们精心培植关系。

Miller's elevation also has unnerved some corporate lobbyists, who worry he will not be as responsive to their issues as Wiles, who cultivated relationships with top executives.

一家与特朗普结盟的公司的资深说客在匿名的情况下表示:“这将是一个巨大的改变。米勒到那里的目的是专注于政治优先事项,比如移民和关税,也就是特朗普关心的东西,他不会采取苏西那种理解政策会带来意想不到后果的方法。”米勒的任命受到了内阁高官和政治支持者的赞扬,他们将其描述为特朗普冲刺阶段所需要的斗士。

"This will be a big change," said a senior lobbyist at a Trump-aligned firm who spoke on condition of anonymity. "Miller is there to focus on political priorities, like immigration and tariffs, stuff Trump cares about, and won't have the same approach as Susie, who understood policies have unintended consequences." Miller's appointment was met with praise from senior cabinet officials and political supporters, who described him as the fighter they will need in Trump's final stretch.

特朗普的盟友罗杰·斯通(Roger Stone)对路透社表示:“我认为唐纳德·特朗普找到了他战时的高级顾问。”

"I think Donald Trump has found his wartime consigliere," Trump ally Roger Stone told Reuters.
