特朗普：烏克蘭可以“忘掉北約”了

美國總統特朗普26日稱，烏克蘭“可以忘掉”加入北約一事，並確認烏克蘭總統澤連斯基將於28日赴美簽署礦產協議，這份協議將確保美國“收回很多錢”。

US President Donald Trump said Wednesday Ukraine could "forget about" joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and he would try to get Ukraine as much land as possible from Russia.

Trump confirmed that Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky will visit the White House on Friday to sign a long-sought minerals deal "where we're going to get the money back".

特朗普當天在白宮舉行內閣會議時對媒體作上述表示。當被問及烏克蘭應就結束烏克蘭危機談判做出哪些讓步時，特朗普說：“我可以說的是，可以忘掉（加入）北約。我認為，這也許就是一切開始的原因。”

"NATO, you can forget about it," Trump told reporters before convening a meeting of his cabinet members inside the White House.

"I think that's probably the reason the whole thing started," he said.

The president made the remarks when asked what concessions he would like to see at the negotiating table with Russia.

特朗普稱，澤連斯基將於28日訪美，此事現在已經確認。雙方將簽署一份礦產協議，“我們正在談的協議將給我們帶來巨大財富”，“我們將收回我們的錢，並且未來會收回很多錢”。

"President Zelensky is going to be coming on Friday, that is now confirmed," Trump said, adding that he and Zelensky will be "signing an agreement, which will be a very big agreement."

The US president further added that his administration is "happy about" the deal, adding, "We've been able to make a deal where we're going to get our money back and we're going to get a lot of money in the future, and I think that's appropriate."

特朗普還表示，他會努力讓烏克蘭收回儘量多的領土。

Trump, who has been trying to broker peace for the three-year conflict between Kiev and Moscow, also said that he will try to let Ukraine take back as much Ukrainian territory as possible.

"We're going to do the best we can to make the best deal we can for both sides, but for Ukraine, we're going to try very hard to make a good deal so that they can get as much back as possible. We want to get as much back as possible," he said.

此前，澤連斯基曾表示如果能用他的辭職換取烏克蘭加入北約，他願意辭去總統職務。
