President Trump is under enormous pressure to be tough with Vladimir Putin after the warmth of his past remarks about Russia's leader, particularly in the wake of Friday's announcement by the US Deputy Attorney General of the indictment of twelve Russians for their alleged attempts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. The summit talks are expected to confront a series of profound divisions between the United States and Russia over Ukraine, Syria, and Iran. The two leaders may also try to make progress extending existing limits on their vast nuclear arsenals.
特朗普此前关于俄罗斯领导人的言论比较温和,这使得他再很难对弗拉基米尔•普京采取强硬的态度。特别是在上周五,美国司法部副部长刚刚宣布起诉12名俄罗斯人士因为他们试图干涉美国2016年总统大选。本次峰会将会面对一系列美俄之间关于乌克兰、叙利亚和伊朗问题的重大分歧。两国领导人或将尝试扩大当前本国的核武库限制。
An influential Republican Congressman has called on President Trump to hold talks with Chinese leaders to ease trade tensions. Kevin Brady, who's the head of the House Ways and Means Committee, warned that Beijing's retaliatory measures for the steel and aluminium tariffs Mr. Trump had introduced were beginning to undermine the impact of the recent US tax cuts and harm the American economy. Mr. Brady said talks between Mr. Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping could lead to the creation of a level playing field for trade between the two countries.
