特朗普:如果沒有我 香港可能在14分鐘內已遭摧毀
11月22日
特朗普形容,美國很大機會、非常接近與中國達成貿易協議,重申中國非常希望達成協議,但他並不着急。特朗普指,「我們與香港人同行,但我同時與習主席同行」(We have stand with Hong Kong, but I’m also standing with President Xi)。
特朗普又聲言,自己避免了「香港可能有成千上萬人被殺(thousands of people would have been killed in Hong Kong)」,因為習近平不想貿易談判告吹,「如果不是我,香港可能在14分鐘内已經被摧毀(If it weren’t for me, Hong Kong would have been obliterated in 14 minutes)」。
特朗普聲稱,習近平有一百萬軍人在香港邊界外駐守,沒有介入香港只因他向習近平告誡(Xi has a million soldiers standing outside of Hong Kong, are not going only because I asked him.),「請不要這樣做,你將會犯下大錯,這樣做會對貿易協議有極其負面影響。(Please don't do that. You will be making a big mistake. It will have a tremendous negative impact on the trade deal.)」
