Donald Trump has threatened to abandon US efforts to restore trade and diplomatic ties with Cuba unless Havana makes new concessions, setting the stage for a clash with a US business community eager to exploit the opening up of the island economy.

唐納德•特朗普(Donald Trump)威脅稱，除非古巴做出新的讓步，否則將放棄美國(guó)恢復(fù)與古巴的貿(mào)易和外交關(guān)系的努力，此舉似乎將引發(fā)一場(chǎng)與美國(guó)商界的沖突，后者渴望利用這個(gè)島國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)的開(kāi)放。

“If Cuba is unwilling to make a better deal for the Cuban people, the Cuban/American people and the US as a whole, I will terminate deal,” Mr Trump tweeted yesterday, responding to a debate set off by the death on Friday of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

“如果古巴不愿為了古巴人民，古巴/美國(guó)人民和美國(guó)作為一個(gè)整體達(dá)成一項(xiàng)更好的協(xié)議，我會(huì)終止協(xié)議，”特朗普昨日在Twitter上發(fā)消息稱，回應(yīng)了上周五古巴前領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人菲德?tīng)?bull;卡斯特羅(Fidel Castro)去世引發(fā)的辯論。

The threat to unwind years of work by President Barack Obama to restore normal relations with Cuba drew a plea from business leaders for the president-elect to take a more considered view.

放棄現(xiàn)任總統(tǒng)巴拉克•奧巴馬(Barack Obama)恢復(fù)與古巴正常關(guān)系的多年努力，這一威脅讓商界領(lǐng)袖懇請(qǐng)這位候任總統(tǒng)采取更加深思熟慮的看法。

“We’ve now gotten to a point where we have an embassy and we have commercial flights that are starting [and] US companies managing hotels [in Cuba]. To unwind all of that and go back to the Cold War would be a shame,” former commerce secretary and Kellogg chief executive Carlos Gutierrez told the FT.

“我們現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)達(dá)到這樣一個(gè)階段，我們有了大使館，我們的商業(yè)航班正在開(kāi)通，美國(guó)企業(yè)(在古巴)管理著酒店。放棄這一切，回到冷戰(zhàn)狀態(tài)，會(huì)令人感到惋惜，”曾經(jīng)擔(dān)任美國(guó)商務(wù)部長(zhǎng)的家樂(lè)氏(Kellogg's)首席執(zhí)行官卡洛斯•古鐵雷斯(Carlos Gutierrez)告訴英國(guó)《金融時(shí)報(bào)》。

With the backing of powerful agricultural and business lobbies Mr Obama has been pushing since 2014 for a resumption of normal relations with Cuba and in March became the first American president to visit the island in almost a century.

在強(qiáng)大的農(nóng)業(yè)和商業(yè)游說(shuō)集團(tuán)的支持下，奧巴馬自2014年以來(lái)一直在推動(dòng)美國(guó)與古巴恢復(fù)正常關(guān)系，并在今年3月成為近一個(gè)世紀(jì)以來(lái)首位訪問(wèn)這個(gè)島國(guó)的美國(guó)總統(tǒng)。

In a sign of the changes under way, air carriers JetBlue and American Airlines yesterday flew their first regularly scheduled flights between New York and Havana. There has also been a procession of business delegations to Havana, with a trip organised by the US Chamber of Commerce this month including representatives from companies such as Dow, and GE.

改變正在發(fā)生的一個(gè)跡象是，航空公司JetBlue和美國(guó)航空(American Airlines)昨日開(kāi)通紐約和哈瓦那之間的定期航班。已經(jīng)有一連串商業(yè)代表團(tuán)到訪哈瓦那，本月美國(guó)商會(huì)(US Chamber of Commerce)組織的一次古巴之旅包括陶氏化學(xué)(Dow Chemical)和通用電氣(GE)等企業(yè)的代表。

But with Republicans in Congress continuing to resist calls for an end to a 55-year-old trade embargo, Mr Obama’s efforts to normalise relations with Cuba have depended on tweaks to regulations and executive orders he can implement without congressional approval.

但由于國(guó)會(huì)中的共和黨人繼續(xù)抵制解除持續(xù)55年的貿(mào)易禁運(yùn)的呼吁，奧巴馬恢復(fù)美國(guó)與古巴正常關(guān)系的努力依賴于無(wú)需國(guó)會(huì)批準(zhǔn)就可實(shí)施的法規(guī)調(diào)整和行政命令。

Mr Gutierrez said the result of this month’s election, which saw influential Cuban-American legislators such as Marco Rubio re-elected, meant resistance to lifting an embargo was likely to grow stronger. That meant Mr Trump would hold the key for a business community that wants the US to continue its efforts to open up the Cuban market.

古鐵雷斯表示，在本月的選舉結(jié)果中，馬爾科•魯比奧(Marco Rubio)等有影響力的古巴裔美籍議員重新當(dāng)選，意味著對(duì)解除禁運(yùn)的抵制有可能變得更強(qiáng)。這意味著，對(duì)希望美國(guó)繼續(xù)努力打開(kāi)古巴市場(chǎng)的商界來(lái)說(shuō)，特朗普掌握著鑰匙。
