特朗普要求将巴拿马运河的监管权归还给美国，称收费“荒谬”

当选总统特朗普周六晚间对巴拿马运河这一重要航线的使用费提出质疑，声称如果不改变的话，他将要求在他重新上任后将对该水道的监管权交还给美国。

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.

前总统唐纳德·特朗普周六晚威胁称，如果不改变巴拿马运河的使用费，美国将重新控制巴拿马运河。

“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.”

特朗普在《真相社会》上写道：“巴拿马收取的费用是荒谬的，尤其是知道美国给予巴拿马的非凡慷慨。” “这种对我们国家的彻底‘盗窃’行为将立即停止。”

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.

美国使用巴拿马运河的次数比任何其他国家都多。根据前总统卡特 1979 年签署的条约，运河的控制权于 1999 年从美国转移到了这个中美洲国家，特朗普称这是一个愚蠢的决定。

“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.”

“当吉米·卡特总统愚蠢地以一美元的价格将其赠送出去时，在他的任期内，这完全是巴拿马管理的，而不是中国或其他任何人的管理，”他表示。 “同样，巴拿马也没有向在我国开展业务的美国、其海军和企业收取过高的价格和通行费。”

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

特朗普周六呼吁建立一条“安全”的巴拿马运河，强调其对美国国家安全和经济的重要性。

“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.”

“巴拿马运河的安全、高效和可靠的运营符合美国的既得利益，这一点始终是众所周知的。我们永远不会让它落入坏人之手！它不是为了其他人的利益而提供的，而仅仅是作为与我们和巴拿马合作的象征，”他补充道，并指出该国正受到“非常不公平和不明智的方式”的对待。
