川普要求將巴拿馬運河的監管權歸還給美國，稱收費“荒謬”

當選總統川普週六晚間對巴拿馬運河這一重要航線的使用費提出質疑，聲稱如果不改變的話，他將要求在他重新上任後將對該水道的監管權交還給美國。

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday night threatened to demand that the U.S. regain control of the Panama Canal if fees charged to use the waterway aren’t changed.

前總統唐納德·川普週六晚間威脅稱，如果不改變巴拿馬運河的使用費，美國將重新控制巴拿馬運河。

“The fees being charged by Panama are ridiculous, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama by the U.S,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “This complete ‘rip-off’ of our Country will immediately stop.”

川普在《真相社會》上寫道：“巴拿馬收取的費用是荒謬的，尤其是知道美國給予巴拿馬的非凡慷慨。” “這種對我們國家的徹底‘盜竊’行為將立即停止。”

The U.S. uses the Panama Canal more than any other country. Control of the canal was transferred from the U.S. to the Central American country in 1999 as a result of a 1979 treaty under former President Carter, which Trump said was a foolish decision.

美國使用巴拿馬運河的次數比其他國家都多。根據前總統卡特在 1979 年簽署的條約，運河的控制權於 1999 年從美國轉移到了這個中美洲國家，川普稱這是一個愚蠢的決定。

“When President Jimmy Carter foolishly gave it away, for One Dollar, during his term in Office, it was solely for Panama to manage, not China, or anyone else,” he stated. “It was likewise not given for Panama to charge the United States, its Navy, and corporations, doing business within our Country, exorbitant prices and rates of passage.”

「當吉米·卡特總統愚蠢地以一美元的價格將其贈送出去時，在他的任期內，這完全是巴拿馬管理的，而不是中國或其他任何人的管理，」他說。 “同樣，巴拿馬也沒有向在我國開展業務的美國、其海軍和企業收取過高的價格和通行費。”

Trump, on Saturday, called for a “secure” Panama Canal, underscoring its importance to American national security and the economy.

川普週六呼籲建立一條「安全」的巴拿馬運河，強調其對美國國家安全和經濟的重要性。

“The United States has a vested interest in the secure, efficient, and reliable operation of the Panama Canal, and that was always understood. We would and will NEVER let it fall into the wrong hands! It was not given for the benefit of others, but merely as a token of cooperation with us and Panama,” he added, stating that the country is being treated “in a very unfair and injudicious way.”

「巴拿馬運河的安全、高效和可靠的運作符合美國的既得利益，這一點始終是眾所周知的。我們永遠不會讓它落入壞人手中！它不是為了其他人的利益而提供的，而僅僅是作為與我們和巴拿馬合作的象徵，」他補充道，並指出該國正受到「非常不公平和不明智的方式」的對待。
