美国五角大楼暂停过渡工作,拜登团队回应:我们没同意

美国当选总统乔·拜登

拜登赢得2020年美国总统大选后,特朗普拒绝承认败选,直到最近才按照惯例允许现任政府机构官员与拜登过渡团队进行协调权力交接。但特朗普在国防部任命的一些官员最近又对交接工作进行抵触
 
当地时间18日,即将上任的美国当选总统拜登警告,五角大楼突然停止向过渡团队通报情况,这可能会给国家安全带来风险。
 
拜登的过渡团队称,他们周四被告知,与国防部的会谈将会被搁置。对此,拜登过渡团队执行主任约翰内斯·亚伯拉罕(Yohannes Abraham)表示,双方本已有限的合作在本周突然中断,令他感到担忧。
 
The incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden warned Friday of risks to national security after it said the Pentagon suddenly halted briefings for the transition team.
 
Yohannes Abraham, executive director for the Biden transition team, said he was "concerned to learn this week about an abrupt halt in the already limited cooperation there."
 
President Trump, a republican, who is refusing to acknowledge his election loss to Biden, until recently held back from allowing government agencies to cooperate with Biden's team, as is the custom.
 
But some of Trump's political appointees in the defense department have recently stopped cooperating, according to Abraham.
 

据美国Axios新闻网18日报道,美国代理国防部长克里斯托弗·米勒(Christopher Miller)已于17日晚下令在整个五角大楼范围内停止与拜登过渡团队的合作。
 
文章表示,米勒的举动震惊了整个国防部,五角大楼官员们对米勒下此决定的原因一无所知,并且此次是迄今为止特朗普政府高层对拜登团队敌意和不信任最严重的一次爆发。
 
对于米勒的决定,美国国防部一名高级官员试图为其“打圆场”。他表示,暂停的原因是如今会议的数量已经让参加会议的国防部工作人员不堪重负,最后几次预定的会议将推迟到新年之后。

Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller ordered a Pentagon-wide halt to cooperation with the transition of President-elect Biden, shocking officials across the Defense Department, senior administration officials tell Axios. 

Miller's move, which stunned officials throughout the Pentagon, was the biggest eruption yet of animus and mistrust toward the Biden team from the top level of the Trump administration.

周五早些时候,米勒在一份声明中证实了这一说法。米勒称,一些会议将会被重新安排,但没有一个会议被取消或拒绝,而且,五角大楼和拜登过渡团队都同意,从19日开始为期两周的休会。

 

然而,拜登过渡团队却表示,双方并没有就休会一事达成共识。亚伯拉罕表示,由于过渡时间很紧张,在此期间继续进行简报和其他活动非常重要,如若会谈被搁置很有可能会延误2021年1月的总统就职典礼。

 

Earlier on Friday, acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller said in a statement that some meetings have been rescheduled but none have been canceled or refused, saying the department and the transition team had agreed to a two-week pause in discussions over the December holiday period.

 

Abraham said this was not true. "There was no mutually agreed upon holiday break," he told reporters, warning that "a failure to work together could have consequences well beyond" Biden's inauguration in January.


按照传统来说,即将卸任和即将上任的美国政府之间的权力交接本是经过精心策划的,但今年美国似乎正经历最难总统权力交接。
