法國總統馬克龍對美國國事訪問
French President Emmanuel Macron is heading Monday to the United States for a state visit with President Donald Trump, looking to convince him of the need to keep a U.S. presence in Syria even after the defeat of Islamic State terrorists and to give the European Union an exemption on new aluminum and steel tariffs.
He described the U.S. as "a player of last resorts for peace and multilateralism."
Trump has said he wants to pull the estimated 2,000 U.S. troops from Syria as soon as possible, even as a week ago he ordered the U.S. military to join France and Britain in launching missiles targeting Syrian chemical weapons facilities in response to a suspected Syrian gas attack. Trump's planned troop withdrawal comes after the fall of Raqqa, Islamic State's self-declared capital of its religious caliphate in northern Syria.
"I'm going to be very blunt," Macron said in the interview. "If we leave ... will we leave the floor to the Iranian regime and (Syrian President) Bashar al-Assad? They will prepare a new war."
He said the U.S. and France are allied but that "even Russia and Turkey will have a very important role to play to create this new Syria and ensure the Syrian people decide for the future."
法國總統馬克龍星期一前往美國進行國事訪問，與川普總統會談。他希望說服川普總統即使在擊敗伊斯蘭國組織后仍然在敘利亞保留美國軍隊，并豁免歐盟成員國繳納新實行的鋼鋁產品關稅。
馬克龍稱美國是能給和平與多邊主義的帶來希望的最后一個國家。
川普總統表示要盡快把大約2000美軍從敘利亞撤出，盡管上星期他命令美國軍隊與法國和英國一道針對據稱敘利亞發動毒氣攻擊做出反應，聯合發動了打擊敘利亞化學武器設施的導彈攻擊。川普總統計劃撤出美國軍隊前，伊斯蘭國組織在敘利亞的所謂哈里發國首都拉卡被攻陷。
馬卡龍在接受記者采訪時說： "我將坦率地告訴川普總統，如果撤出敘利亞，就會給伊朗政權以及敘利亞的阿薩德政權機會發動新的戰爭。"
他還表示，美國和法國是盟國，但是即使俄羅斯和土耳其也會在創建新敘利亞的努力中發揮作用，確保敘利亞人民能決定自己的未來。
