美国五角大楼暂停过渡工作,拜登团队回应:我们没同意
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. 摘自美国Axios新闻网文章
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。
