美國(guó)總統(tǒng)特朗普周五宣布,美國(guó)和歐洲盟國(guó)對(duì)敘利亞目標(biāo)實(shí)施了精確打擊,以懲罰敘利亞總統(tǒng)阿薩德在大馬士革附近實(shí)施的一起疑似化學(xué)武器襲擊事件,該事件造成了40余人死亡。
Mr. Trump said Britain and France had joined the United States in the strikes, which he said were underway.
英國(guó)和法國(guó)加入了此次行動(dòng)。
“These are not the actions of a man. They are crimes of a monster instead,” Mr. Trump, in a televised nighttime address from the White House Diplomatic Room, said of the Syrian attacks last weekend that he blamed on Mr. Assad.
特朗普稱,此次打擊的目的是阻止敘利亞化學(xué)武器的生產(chǎn)、傳播和使用,他稱之為“美國(guó)的重要國(guó)家安全利益”。
He said the strikes of precision weapons sought to deter the production, spread and use of chemical weapons, which he called “a vital national security interest of the United States.”
此次襲擊事件有可能使美國(guó)陷入敘利亞復(fù)雜的多邊戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng),特朗普上周才表示他不想卷入敘利亞爭(zhēng)端。襲擊事件還增加了美國(guó)與俄羅斯和伊朗對(duì)抗的可能性,俄羅斯和伊朗均在敘利亞部署了支持阿薩德的軍事力量。
