Mike Baker: 本期节目讨论了特朗普政府对俄罗斯和中国的强硬立场。首先，由于俄乌和平谈判陷入僵局，特朗普总统对普京总统表达了愤怒，并威胁要实施新的经济关税。白宫担心普京在谈判中拖延时间，这可能是因为他并不真正希望结束在乌克兰的战争。 其次，中国似乎正在阻止一项协议，该协议将使美国资产管理公司BlackRock获得巴拿马运河两个关键港口的控制权，这危及了特朗普总统从中国共产党手中夺取该战略水道控制权的计划。 特朗普总统对普京总统在俄乌和平谈判中的行为表示愤怒，并威胁要对所有购买俄罗斯石油的国家征收额外关税。普京质疑泽连斯基总统的领导地位，加剧了俄乌和平谈判的紧张局势。特朗普总统对普京质疑泽连斯基领导地位的行为表示愤怒。由于战争和戒严令，乌克兰选举被取消，普京利用这一点来削弱泽连斯基的地位。普京试图通过要求乌克兰建立临时政府来拖延和平谈判。如果俄乌和平谈判失败，特朗普威胁要对所有购买俄罗斯石油的国家实施二次关税。对俄罗斯实施关税和制裁可能是特朗普政府最后的手段，以促使俄罗斯在谈判中让步。俄罗斯的战时经济状况不佳，这可能会促使普京寻求谈判解决战争。现有的制裁已经对俄罗斯的经济造成了压力。俄罗斯在2024年为战争花费了巨额资金。一些俄罗斯精英正在向普京施压，要求他通过谈判解决战争。俄乌之间达成了有限的停火协议，但普京要求解除制裁。俄乌双方都指责对方违反了停火协议，克里姆林宫表示，他们遵守停火协议的条件是解除制裁。如果普京继续拖延，特朗普准备采取更强硬的立场。 中国对BlackRock发起了反垄断调查，这可能会阻止BlackRock收购巴拿马运河港口的交易。中国声称此次调查是为了维护公平竞争和公共利益。美国官员认为中国控制巴拿马运河的港口基础设施构成战略威胁。中国在巴拿马运河的两端都拥有港口基础设施。特朗普总统认为美国应该重新获得对巴拿马运河的运营控制权。美国正在与巴拿马就巴拿马运河港口问题进行谈判。鲁比奥参议员认为美国不应该为使用巴拿马运河支付费用。中国反垄断举动旨在阻止美国的行动。 特朗普: 我对普京感到非常愤怒，因为他质疑泽连斯基的信誉，这不利于达成协议。如果俄罗斯和美国无法就停止乌克兰的流血事件达成协议，如果我认为这是俄罗斯的错，我将对所有来自俄罗斯的石油征收二次关税。 普京: 乌克兰需要一个临时政府才能最终确定任何可能的和平协议。 泽连斯基: (在节目中没有直接引述泽连斯基的观点，但他的领导地位受到了普京的质疑) 鲁比奥: 我们必须支付费用才能通过我们有义务在冲突时期保护的区域，这很荒谬。 supporting_evidences Trump: 'I was very angry, pissed off, when Putin started getting into Zelensky's credibility, because that's not going in the right direction.' Putin: 'arrangements would have to be made with the U.S. and European allies to install, quote, temporary governance in Ukraine before any negotiations on a full peace treaty can move forward.' Rubio: 'It's absurd that we would have to pay fees to transit a zone that we're obligated to protect in a time of conflict'
