Peter Baker: 本期节目讨论了美国总统大选候选人卡马拉·哈里斯和唐纳德·特朗普在对外政策上的不同观点。哈里斯的观点可能与现任总统拜登较为接近,属于比较传统的中间偏左的民主党观点,她相信国际规则秩序。特朗普则是一个颠覆性力量,他认为其他国家都在损害美国的利益,对美国盟友比对美国对手更强硬,并倾向于与强人领导人合作。在中东问题上,哈里斯和拜登政府对纳斯鲁拉的死发表了类似的声明,既表达了正义,又呼吁外交手段缓和冲突。特朗普尚未就此事发表评论。在伊朗问题上,特朗普将伊朗视为主要敌人,而哈里斯所在的政府曾试图重启与伊朗的核谈判。在以色列问题上,特朗普给予以色列领导层他们想要的一切,但他的一些言论也让以色列支持者感到不安。哈里斯则更强调巴勒斯坦人民的苦难。在乌克兰问题上,哈里斯很可能将继续拜登政府的政策,而特朗普则表示他可以在一天内结束俄乌战争,但这并不现实。在对华政策上,特朗普改变了华盛顿对华政策的传统思维,认为中国是对手而非朋友,他的对华政策主要集中在经济方面。哈里斯可能会采取比特朗普更温和的对华政策,但她不会放弃特朗普政府实施的经济措施。 Sabrina Tavernisi: 本期节目讨论了美国总统大选候选人卡马拉·哈里斯和唐纳德·特朗普在对外政策上的不同观点,以及这些观点对美国在乌克兰、中东和与中国关系等问题上的影响。两位候选人在对外政策上的差异巨大,这对于即将到来的选举至关重要。哈里斯的对外政策观点可能与拜登总统较为接近,属于比较传统的中间偏左的民主党观点,她相信国际规则秩序。特朗普则是一个颠覆性力量,他认为其他国家都在损害美国的利益,对美国盟友比对美国对手更强硬,并倾向于与强人领导人合作。在中东问题上,两位候选人的观点有所不同,哈里斯更强调巴勒斯坦人民的苦难,而特朗普则更关注以色列的利益。在乌克兰问题上,哈里斯很可能将继续拜登政府的政策,而特朗普则对乌克兰的战争持反对态度。在对华政策上,特朗普和哈里斯的观点也有所不同,特朗普的对华政策主要集中在经济方面,而哈里斯则可能采取更温和的对华政策。

The recent assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has ignited fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East.

  • Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike.
  • The potential for a wider war involving Iran is a major concern.
  • Trump and Harris have sharply different approaches to foreign policy, particularly regarding Iran and Israel.
  • Trump's past actions suggest a strong pro-Israel stance, but his recent statements on the Gaza war have been less supportive.
