美國國會民主黨人提出決議，以阻止阿聯酋的三項武器銷售

民主黨人克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy），克里斯·範·霍倫（Chris Van Hollen）先生，布萊恩·薩茨（Brian Schatz）和蒂姆·凱恩（Tim Kaine）先生和誘使民主黨人的獨立人士伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）先生提出了參議院的不贊成決議，該決議將阻止對阿聯酋進行三架武器銷售。

output: WASHINGTON - US congressional Democrats on Thursday began efforts to scuttle Trump administration approval of multi-billion dollar arms sales to the United Arab Emirates, introducing resolutions to block the deals.

輸出：華盛頓 - 美國國會民主黨週四開始努力，努力向特朗普政府批准向阿拉伯聯合酋長國銷售數十億美元的武器銷售，從而引入了決議，以阻止交易。

Democrats Chris Murphy, Mr Chris Van Hollen, Mr Brian Schatz and Mr Tim Kaine, and Mr Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, introduced resolutions of disapproval in the Senate that would block three arms sales to the UAE.

民主黨人克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy），克里斯·範·霍倫（Chris Van Hollen）先生，布萊恩·薩茨（Brian Schatz）和蒂姆·凱恩（Tim Kaine）先生和誘使民主黨人的獨立人士伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）先生提出了參議院的不贊成決議，該決議將阻止對阿聯酋進行三架武器銷售。

Mr Gregory Meeks, the top Democrat on the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, and Ms Sara Jacobs, the top Democrat on the panel's Africa sub-committee, introduced resolutions of disapproval in the House of Representatives.

眾議院外交事務委員會的最高民主黨人格雷戈里·米克斯（Gregory Meeks）和小組非洲小組委員會的最高民主黨人薩拉·雅各布斯（Sara Jacobs）女士提出了眾議院中不贊成的決議。

The senators cited concerns that have been raised about Abu Dhabi arming Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitaries in Sudan’s civil war. The UAE has repeatedly denied such charges.

參議員列舉了人們對蘇丹內戰中阿布扎比武裝快速支持部隊（RSF）準軍事人員提出的擔憂。阿聯酋反复否認這種指控。

They also cited the announcement by MGX, an investment firm backed by the Emiratis, that it would use a stablecoin launched by Mr Trump's World Liberty Financial crypto venture for its US$2 billion investment in crypto exchange Binance.

他們還列舉了由阿聯酋支持的投資公司MGX的宣布，它將使用特朗普先生的世界自由金融加密貨幣公司發起的Stablecoin，以其對加密貨幣交易所的20億美元投資。

A series of Trump family crypto-related ventures, including a “meme coin” launched in January, have drawn criticism from government ethics experts and political opponents over potential conflicts of interest.

一系列特朗普家庭加密相關的企業，包括一月份發起的“模因硬幣”，引起了政府道德專家和政治反對者對潛在利益衝突的批評。

In a statement, Mr Murphy said he wanted to force a full Senate debate on what he termed “nuclear grade corruption”.

墨菲在一份聲明中說，他想就他所謂的“核等級腐敗”進行全面的參議院辯論。

The House members said the Trump administration had decided to proceed with the UAE sales despite Mr Meeks’ hold on such transactions over of his concerns about the conflict in Sudan.

眾議院成員說，儘管米克斯先生對蘇丹衝突的擔憂，特朗普政府已決定繼續進行阿聯酋的銷售。

“The Trump administration’s end-run around Congress is irresponsible and will further embolden the UAE to violate the UN’s Darfur arms embargo and continue its support for the RSF and the killing of innocent civilians,” Mr Meeks and Ms Jacobs said in a statement.

“特朗普政府在國會周圍的最終競選是不負責任的，將進一步煽動阿聯酋違反聯合國的達爾富爾武器禁運，並繼續對RSF和殺害無辜平民的支持，”米克斯先生和雅各布斯女士在一份聲明中說。

Trump expects stronger UAE ties

特朗普期望阿聯酋更牢固

The White House and the UAE embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

白宮和阿聯酋駐華盛頓大使館沒有立即回應置評請求。

However, both Republican and Democratic US administrations have long viewed the Gulf state as a vital security partner and the UAE has denied providing weapons to the RSF.

但是，共和黨和民主黨政府長期以來一直將海灣國家視為重要的安全夥伴，阿聯酋否認為RSF提供武器。

Mr Trump pledged to strengthen US ties to the Gulf State as he announced the deals.

特朗普宣布交易時，特朗普保證加強與海灣國家的聯繫。

“I have absolutely no doubt that the relationship will only get bigger and better,” he said in a meeting with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

他在與阿聯酋總統謝赫·穆罕默德·本·扎伊德·納赫揚（Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan）會面時說：“毫無疑問，這種關係只會變得更大，更好。”

US law requires congressional review of major arms deals, and lets members of the Senate force votes on resolutions of disapproval that would block such sales.

美國法律要求對主要武器交易進行國會審查，並允許參議院部隊成員對不贊成的決議進行投票，這將阻止這種銷售。

Although the law does not let House members force such votes, resolutions must pass both chambers of Congress, and potentially survive a presidential veto, to go into effect.

儘管法律不允許眾議院議員強行這樣的投票，但決議必須通過國會議會，並有可能在總統否決權中生存下來才能生效。

Among the sales targeted in the resolutions were a US$1.32 billion sale of helicopters and equipment, US$130 million for F-16 aircraft components and accessories, and US$150 million for Apache, Black Hawk and Chinook aircraft parts, logistics and support.

決議目標的銷售包括13.2億美元的直升機和設備出售，1.3億美元用於F-16飛機組件和配件，以及1.5億美元的Apache，Black Hawk和Chinook Aircraft零件，物流和支持。
