從主播火速晉升大使提名人 諾爾特被質(zhì)疑“不夠格”

President Donald Trump is expected to nominate State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert to be his new ambassador to the UN, positioning a relatively inexperienced newcomer in one of the most high-profile positions in US diplomacy, according to an administration official and a second source.

據(jù)美國(guó)政府一名官員和另一位消息人士透露，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)唐納德.特朗普將提名美國(guó)國(guó)務(wù)院女發(fā)言人希瑟.諾爾特(Heather Nauert)為其新任駐聯(lián)合國(guó)大使，將一位經(jīng)驗(yàn)相對(duì)缺乏的新人放在了美國(guó)外交領(lǐng)域最引人注目的職位之一上。

The announcement is expected to come on Friday, two officials say.

兩名官員表示，確切消息預(yù)計(jì)將于周五宣布。

In an administration rife with internal conflict and deeply distrustful of the UN, Nauert’s nomination would place a less senior person at the international agency than outspoken current ambassador Nikki Haley, who reportedly sparred with other administration officials.

在一個(gè)普遍充滿內(nèi)部矛盾、對(duì)聯(lián)合國(guó)極度不信任的政府中，相較現(xiàn)任的直言不諱的大使妮基黑莉，諾爾特在這種國(guó)際機(jī)構(gòu)職位上的提名顯得資歷尚淺。據(jù)報(bào)道稱，黑莉曾與其他政府官員發(fā)生爭(zhēng)執(zhí)。

The former Fox News host’s precipitous rise since arriving at the State Department in 2017 sets the stage for a potentially tough Senate confirmation hearing, where Democrats will likely grill Nauert on her qualifications for the position.

自2017年入職美國(guó)國(guó)務(wù)院以來，這位前福克斯新聞主持人的突然崛起可能會(huì)使其在即將到來的提名確認(rèn)聽證會(huì)上成為眾矢之的，民主黨人可能會(huì)質(zhì)疑其是否有足夠的資質(zhì)擔(dān)任此職位。

A senior administration official told CNN Nauert is "widely respected through the inter-agency process and has both a thorough understanding of the issues and a clear understanding of the President’s positions" and noted that there is "a lot of enthusiasm" for her nomination throughout the administration.

美國(guó)政府一名高級(jí)官員對(duì)美國(guó)有線電視新聞網(wǎng)(CNN)表示，諾爾特在跨部門處理事宜上受到廣泛尊重，對(duì)問題也有全面的了解，同時(shí)也很清楚地了解總統(tǒng)的立場(chǎng)，整個(gè)政府對(duì)她的提名表現(xiàn)出“極大的熱情”。
