新聞：

The UK is "not choosing between the US and the EU", Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said after President Donald Trump threatened the European unx with trade tariffs.

在唐納德·特朗普以貿(mào)易關(guān)稅威脅歐盟后，英國(guó)首相基爾·斯塔默爵士表示，英國(guó)“不會(huì)在美國(guó)和歐盟之間做出選擇”。

Over the weekend, Trump announced 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico - which have both since been paused - and said he would take similar action against the EU but suggested a deal could be "worked out" with the UK.

上周末，特朗普宣布對(duì)加拿大和墨西哥征收25%的關(guān)稅——這兩個(gè)關(guān)稅后來(lái)都暫停了——并表示他將對(duì)歐盟采取類似的行動(dòng)，但表示可能會(huì)與英國(guó)“達(dá)成協(xié)議”。

Asked if he would be willing to water down attempts to forge closer ties with the EU in exchange for keeping the US on side, Sir Keir said both relationships were important to the UK.

當(dāng)被問(wèn)及他是否愿意淡化與歐盟建立更緊密關(guān)系以換取與美國(guó)站在一邊的努力時(shí)，基爾爵士表示，這兩種關(guān)系對(duì)英國(guó)都很重要。

"Now, that for me isn't new, I think that's always been the case and will be the case for many, many years to come," he added.

“現(xiàn)在，這對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)并不新鮮，我認(rèn)為這一直都是這樣，而且在未來(lái)的許多年里都會(huì)是這樣，”他補(bǔ)充說(shuō)。

The prime minister told a press conference in Brussels it was "early days" when it came to tariff talks with the US and that he backed "open and strong trading relations".

首相在布魯塞爾的一個(gè)新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上表示，與美國(guó)的關(guān)稅談判還處于“早期階段”，他支持“開(kāi)放和強(qiáng)大的貿(mào)易關(guān)系”。

Sir Keir was in Belgium to meet Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte and attend talks with EU leaders - the first PM to do so since Brexit.

凱爾爵士在比利時(shí)會(huì)見(jiàn)了北約秘書(shū)長(zhǎng)馬克·呂特，并參加了與歐盟領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的會(huì)談，這是自英國(guó)脫歐以來(lái)第一位這樣做的首相。

Asked about tensions between the US and the EU, Rutte said there were "always issues between allies" but that would "not get in the way of our collective determination to keep our deterrent strong".

當(dāng)被問(wèn)及美國(guó)和歐盟之間的緊張關(guān)系時(shí)，呂特表示，“盟友之間總是存在問(wèn)題”，但這“不會(huì)妨礙我們保持強(qiáng)大威懾的集體決心”。

On Ukraine, he said Nato - the military alliance of Western countries - had to "not only sustain but continue to step up our support" to ensure Ukraine could negotiate with Russia from "a position of strength".

在烏克蘭問(wèn)題上，他說(shuō)，北約——西方國(guó)家的軍事聯(lián)盟——必須“不僅要維持，還要繼續(xù)加強(qiáng)我們的支持”，以確保烏克蘭能夠以“優(yōu)勢(shì)地位”與俄羅斯談判。

He added that spending 2% of national income on defence was "not enough to keep us safe" and that there was "no time to waste" in boosting funding.

他補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，將國(guó)民收入的2%用于國(guó)防“不足以保證我們的安全”，在增加資金方面“沒(méi)有時(shí)間可以浪費(fèi)”。

Currently Nato asks every member country to spend a least 2% of GDP on defence, however it is thought only 23 of the 32 members meet the target.

目前，北約要求每個(gè)成員國(guó)至少將GDP的2%用于國(guó)防，然而據(jù)認(rèn)為，32個(gè)成員國(guó)中只有23個(gè)達(dá)到了這一目標(biāo)。

Sir Keir said the UK currently spends 2.3% and that his government would shortly be setting out "the path" towards reaching 2.5%.

基爾爵士表示，英國(guó)目前的支出為2.3%，他的政府將很快制定“道路”，目標(biāo)是達(dá)到2.5%。

Speaking at a European Council dinner, the prime minister called for more military collaboration between the UK and Europe including by improving military mobility and logistics across Europe, focusing on research and development and deepening industrial collaboration.

首相在歐洲理事會(huì)晚宴上發(fā)表講話，呼吁英國(guó)和歐洲加強(qiáng)軍事合作，包括改善整個(gè)歐洲的軍事機(jī)動(dòng)性和后勤保障，專注于研發(fā)，深化工業(yè)合作。

He also said there should be more co-operation to protect against state threats and sabotage, including on subsea infrastructure. This comes after the UK issued a warning to Russia last month after a spy ship was spotted near undersea cables.

他還表示，應(yīng)該加強(qiáng)合作，防范國(guó)家的威脅和破壞，包括在海底基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施方面。上個(gè)月，在一艘間諜船被發(fā)現(xiàn)靠近海底電纜后，英國(guó)向俄羅斯發(fā)出了警告。

While defence is the focus of his Brussels trip, for Sir Keir it is also part of an ongoing bid to "reset" UK-EU relations.

雖然國(guó)防是他布魯塞爾之行的重點(diǎn)，但對(duì)基爾爵士來(lái)說(shuō)，這也是“重置”英歐關(guān)系的持續(xù)努力的一部分。

The UK government wants to forge stronger lixs with the EU - but that could anger the US and risk the UK getting caught up in a trade war.

英國(guó)政府希望與歐盟建立更緊密的聯(lián)系，但這可能會(huì)激怒美國(guó)，并有可能使英國(guó)陷入貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)。

Similarly, the EU might obxt to Sir Keir siding with the US rather than its European neighbours.

同樣，歐盟可能會(huì)反對(duì)基爾爵士站在美國(guó)而非歐洲鄰國(guó)一邊。

Earlier, No 10 said the prime minister trusted Trump and pointed to "a really constructive early set of conversations" between the two men.

早些時(shí)候，唐寧街10號(hào)表示，首相信任特朗普，并指出兩人之間“非常有建設(shè)性的早期對(duì)話”。

The UK should be negotiating a free trade deal with the US instead, he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Tuesday, claiming the EU was "diminishing every year".

英國(guó)應(yīng)該與美國(guó)談判一項(xiàng)自由貿(mào)易協(xié)議，他在周二接受BBC廣播4臺(tái)的《今日》節(jié)目采訪時(shí)表示，歐盟“每年都在縮小”。

"If we start to tie ourselves to industrial collaboration, as it appears was agreed last night, then we find ourselves with less flexibility in doing deals with countries like America.

“如果我們開(kāi)始把自己與工業(yè)合作綁在一起，就像昨晚達(dá)成的那樣，那么我們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己在與美國(guó)等國(guó)家進(jìn)行交易時(shí)的靈活性就會(huì)降低。

"My fear is we tie ourselves to EU law."

“我擔(dān)心的是，我們會(huì)把自己與歐盟法律綁在一起?！?/b>
