Ben Ferguson: 我认为特朗普政府正在努力提高政府效率，解决欺诈问题，并支持像Keystone XL管道这样的项目以促进能源独立。Elon Musk发出的邮件旨在识别真正工作的政府雇员，虽然引起了一些混乱，但这反映了政府内部需要改革的现状。民调显示，公众普遍支持特朗普政府的政策。 我认为Keystone XL管道项目对美国能源独立和经济发展至关重要，民主党人为阻止该项目付出了巨大的努力。特朗普政府的回归将为该项目带来新的希望，并为美国创造就业机会。 关于乌克兰战争，我认为美国政府的立场是希望通过和平谈判解决冲突，而不是激化矛盾。美国反对联合国决议是为了避免加剧紧张局势，并为和平对话创造条件。 Marco Rubio: 我认为美国政府在乌克兰问题上的立场是希望通过和平谈判结束冲突，而不是加剧紧张局势。我们反对联合国决议，是因为我们认为该决议不利于和平谈判的进行。我们希望通过与各方对话，找到解决冲突的途径，并最终实现和平。 我们认为，联合国应该回归其宪章宗旨，即预防和结束战争冲突。当前的联合国决议过于对抗性，不利于和平解决乌克兰冲突。我们希望通过更具建设性的方式，促进各方之间的对话与合作，最终实现和平。 我们正在努力与俄罗斯和乌克兰进行对话，了解他们各自的立场和诉求。我们的目标是找到一个双方都能接受的解决方案，从而结束这场战争，减少人民的苦难。
