萬斯解釋白宮爭吵起因:並非事先策劃

據美國福克斯新聞網,今日俄羅斯(RT)16日報道,美國副總統萬斯近日在接受採訪時,解釋了他與烏克蘭總統澤連斯基2月28日在白宮激烈爭吵一事的起因。
萬斯表示這並非事先策劃,並駁斥了關於他與美國總統特朗普聯手上演“紅白臉”戲碼以羞辱並驅逐澤連斯基的說法。
US Vice President JD Vance has rejected allegations that his heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office was premeditated, dismissing claims that Donald Trump staged a "good cop, bad cop" scenario to humiliate and expel their guest.
premeditated /priːˈmɛdɪteɪtɪd/ 有預謀的;蓄意的
good cop, bad cop:好警察、壞警察。指一個唱紅臉,一個唱白臉,軟硬兼施的策略
RT報道稱,萬斯近期在接受福克斯新聞網採訪時,被問及與澤連斯基的激烈爭吵是否是預先安排好的,他對此表示否認並解釋了事情發生經過。

Asked in a recent Fox News interview whether the clash was a "good cop, bad cop" setup, Vance explained how events unfolded.
“不,肯定不是計劃好的。”萬斯解釋稱。當時同一名記者連續提了三個問題,特朗普正在回答第三個問題時,他決定插個話。“我只是想回答問題。然後,我在回答中說的一些話引發了此次爭吵。澤連斯基有些沮喪,然後就一發不可收拾了。”
"No, it was certainly not planned," Vance said, explaining that Trump was responding to the third consecutive question from the same reporter when he decided to interject.
"I just wanted to answer the question. And then, of course, something I said in my answer caused the blowup. Zelensky got frustrated with it, and then everything went from there," Vance said.
萬斯說,“作為副總統,我儘量保持尊重。但我也明白,有時總統希望我發表意見。當然,如果我認為能說些有用的話,並且能夠體現對總統的尊重,我會主動提出我的看法。” 
"I'm the vice president, I try to be respectful. But I also recognize that sometimes the president wants me to say stuff. And of course, if I think there's something useful I can say and I think that it's going to be deferential to the president – I'll jump in and offer my thoughts," he added.
澤連斯基2月28日到訪美國白宮,與特朗普、萬斯在媒體記者面前討論烏克蘭問題,卻爆發激烈爭吵。澤連斯基隨後提前離開白宮,雙方未按計劃簽署礦產協議。
Zelensky, Trump, and Vance were involved in a tense verbal altercation at the White House last month. Following this, Zelensky was asked to leave the White House and the planned US-Ukraine minerals deal was canceled.

澤連斯基3月2日晚在接受英國廣播公司採訪時表示,儘管未能在美國白宮達成美烏礦產協議,但他仍“願意”簽署該協議。烏克蘭副總理斯特凡尼希娜3月14日表示,烏克蘭隨時準備與美國簽署礦產資源框架協議,並指出該協議文字的談判已經完成。她表示,美方目前尚未決定何時、在什麼條件下籤署該協議。
