We hope you had a great weekend and we thank you for taking 10 minutes for CNN 10. I`m Carl Azuz.
希望大家度過了一個愉快的周末。感謝大家利用10分鐘來觀看CNN學生新聞,我是卡爾·阿祖茲。
Every 90 days, the president of the United States is required to certify an international nuclear agreement with the Middle Eastern country of Iran.
美國要求總統(tǒng)每90天確認一次中東國家伊朗是否遵守了國際核協(xié)議。
President Donald Trump has done this twice. But this weekend, he announced he would not recertify the agreement this time around. What does that mean?
美國總統(tǒng)特朗普已經(jīng)已經(jīng)例行兩次,但是本周,特朗普總統(tǒng)宣布這次將不會進行再確認。那么特朗普總統(tǒng)言下何意呢?
First, the deal. It`s official named the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. It was signed in 2015 while the Obama administration was in office. Six countries led by the U.S. agreed to remove sanctions, economic penalties on Iran, allowing tens of billions of dollars to flow into Iran`s economy. In exchange, Iran agreed to significantly limit its controversial nuclear program, at least temporarily, and to allow international inspectors into the country to make sure it was living up to the deal.
首先,對于關(guān)于上述協(xié)議。此協(xié)議的官方名為《聯(lián)合綜合行動計劃》。于2015年奧巴馬執(zhí)政期間簽署。以美國為首的6個國家聯(lián)合同意取消對伊朗的實施制裁和經(jīng)濟懲戒,允許數(shù)百億美元恢復伊朗的經(jīng)濟。而作為條件,伊朗同意大幅削減核項目,至少是暫時性的,并允許國際核查人員進入伊朗,保證其符合協(xié)議要求。
Inspectors with the United Nations say Iran is keeping its end of the agreement. But President Trump says Iran isn`t. He says the country is still a nuclear threat and that he`s not recertifying the Iran nuclear deal.
聯(lián)合國檢查人員表示,伊朗一直遵守協(xié)議。但是特朗普總統(tǒng)表示,伊朗并未遵守。他表示,伊朗對其他國家構(gòu)成了核威脅,并表示自己不會再核查此協(xié)議。
This doesn`t mean the agreement is cancelled. It means that it`s now up to the U.S. Congress to decide whether to reinstate U.S. sanctions against Iran and that`s something that could lead to the end of the deal.
但這一舉措并不意味著該協(xié)議失效。而是意味著美國國會是否恢復對伊朗的制裁,而這會導致協(xié)議的終結(jié)。
But experts say the Trump administration doesn`t want to end it entirely, but instead wants changes made. For one thing, the current deal put certain restrictions on Iran`s nuclear program for 10 to 15 years. The Trump administration wants those limits to stay indefinitely.
但是專家表示,特朗普政府并不想要完全結(jié)束協(xié)議,只是希望改變協(xié)議。首先,當前的協(xié)議對伊朗的核項目施加了10到15年的限制。特朗普政府希望這些限制能無限期地維持下去。
For another, the current deal does not limit Iran`s ballistic missile program. The Trump administration wants it to. So, Congress will be considering these new requirements as it debates what to do about the deal.
另一方面,目前的協(xié)議并沒有限制伊朗的彈道導彈計劃。特朗普政府希望可以對此做出限制。因此,國會將考慮這些新的要求,正在討論如何處理此協(xié)議。
