Donald Trump has had quite a week. At the G7 summit in Canada the US president repudiated the rules-based international order, preferring to throw a tantrum on trade. By Tuesday, he was discarding longstanding security guarantees to America’s east Asian allies at his headline-grabbing talks in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The security of Europe and east Asia has been underwritten for 70 years by a US alliance system. Mr Trump is intent on dismantling it.
上周,美国总统唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)度过了不寻常的一周。在加拿大七国集团(G7)峰会上,特朗普驳斥了基于规则的国际秩序,在贸易问题上发了一通火。上周二,与朝鲜领导人金正恩(Kim Jong Un)在新加坡举行举世瞩目的会谈时,他抛弃了美国对东亚盟国长期以来的安全保证。70年来,欧洲和东亚的安全一直由美国安保联盟体系担负着,而特朗普打算废除这个体系。
