特朗普：美國(guó)考慮對(duì)朝鮮采取“軍事選項(xiàng)”

Donald Trump said on Tuesday the US would take the military option against North Korea “if we have to” as he urged global leaders to unite in a bid to cut off Pyongyang’s economic lifelines.

唐納德•特朗普(Donald Trump)周二表示，“如果迫不得已”，美國(guó)將對(duì)朝鮮采取軍事選項(xiàng)，他同時(shí)呼吁全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人團(tuán)結(jié)起來切斷平壤的經(jīng)濟(jì)命脈。

“We are totally prepared for the second option. That’s called the military option. If we have to take it we will,” the US president warned.

“我們完全準(zhǔn)備好了第二個(gè)選項(xiàng)。就是所謂的軍事選項(xiàng)。如果迫不得已，我們將這樣做，”美國(guó)總統(tǒng)警告稱。

“He’s saying things that should never ever be said,” he added, referring to Kim Jong Un, the North Korean leader. “And we are replying to those things.”

“他在說一些永遠(yuǎn)不該說的話，“特朗普補(bǔ)充說，意指朝鮮領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人金正恩(Kim Jong Un)，“我們正在回應(yīng)這些事情。”

Mr Trump made his comments as the US issued additional unilateral sanctions against eight North Korean banks and 26 individuals.

特朗普發(fā)表此番言論時(shí)，美國(guó)對(duì)8家朝鮮銀行及26名個(gè)人采取了額外的單方面制裁措施。

The move marks the latest effort by Washington to strangle Pyongyang’s economy and deprive it of the hard currency that funds its fast-developing nuclear and ballistic missile programme as the US seeks decisive talks on de-nuclearisation.

此舉標(biāo)志著華盛頓絞殺朝鮮經(jīng)濟(jì)的最新努力，目的是使平壤方面無法獲得其快速推進(jìn)的核武及彈道導(dǎo)彈計(jì)劃所需的外匯資金。同時(shí)，美國(guó)尋求朝鮮棄核的決定性談判。

“We are targeting North Korean banks and financial facilitators acting as representatives for North Korean banks across the globe,” said Steven Mnuchin, Treasury secretary, in a statement that described the individuals as nationals working for North Korean banks operating in China, Russia, Libya and the United Arab Emirates.

美國(guó)財(cái)政部長(zhǎng)史蒂文•姆努欽(Steven Mnuchin)在一份聲明中表示：“我們針對(duì)的是朝鮮銀行以及在全球各地代表朝鮮銀行的金融協(xié)調(diào)人。”該聲明稱，這些朝鮮人為在中國(guó)、俄羅斯、利比亞及阿拉伯聯(lián)合酋長(zhǎng)國(guó)運(yùn)營(yíng)的朝鮮銀行工作。

“This further advances our strategy to fully isolate North Korea in order to achieve our broader objectives of a peaceful and denuclearised Korean peninsula,” he said.

“這進(jìn)一步推進(jìn)了我們徹底孤立朝鮮的戰(zhàn)略，以實(shí)現(xiàn)我方的整體目標(biāo)：一個(gè)和平、無核化的朝鮮半島，”他說。

“All nations must act now to ensure the regime’s complete de-nuclearisation,” Mr Trump said following the sanctions announcement. He also thanked Spain for expelling North Korea’s ambassador and China for breaking off all banking relations with Pyongyang in a move he said would previously have been “unthinkable”.

特朗普在這些制裁宣布后表示：“所有國(guó)家現(xiàn)在都必須采取行動(dòng)，確保朝鮮政權(quán)完全棄核。”他還對(duì)西班牙和中國(guó)表示了感謝，前者驅(qū)逐了朝鮮大使，后者切斷了與朝鮮之間的所有銀行聯(lián)系。特朗普稱中國(guó)此舉在過去是“難以想象的”。

Two of the North Koreans targeted work at banks in Dubai, signifying the extent of North Korea’s overseas financial networks despite a campaign spearheaded by the US to clamp down on North Korean operations abroad.

被制裁的朝鮮人中有兩人在迪拜的銀行工作，這表明，雖然美國(guó)在帶頭對(duì)朝鮮的海外業(yè)務(wù)進(jìn)行打擊，但朝鮮的海外金融網(wǎng)絡(luò)仍然活躍。

Kwak Chong-chol, among those names, was general manager of a North Korean front company responsible for collecting funds from North Korean workers, according to the Treasury. Ryom Hui-bong hand-carried money from Dubai to Pyongyang, it said. Others listed worked in Moscow and Beijing among others.

根據(jù)美國(guó)財(cái)政部提供的資料，被制裁名單中的Kwak Chong-chol是朝鮮一家幌子公司的總經(jīng)理，該公司負(fù)責(zé)向朝鮮的勞務(wù)輸出人員收集資金，而Ryom Hui-bong負(fù)責(zé)將現(xiàn)金從迪拜帶至平壤。名單上的其他人在莫斯科和北京等地工作。

North Korea maintains a network of tens of thousands of so-called guest workers who send an estimated $500m in hard currency back home every year. About 50,000 North Koreans work in China and 20,000 in Russia.

朝鮮有數(shù)萬名勞務(wù)輸出人員，這些人每年向國(guó)內(nèi)匯回約5億美元的硬通貨。約有5萬朝鮮人在中國(guó)工作，2萬在俄羅斯工作。
