Has any year in memory started with such a bang as 2026? In little over seven days, Donald Trump’s America has captured the Venezuelan president and declared control of the country and its oil. The president has tossed out threats to Cuba, Colombia, Mexico and Greenland, and warned Iran’s leaders that America is ready to intervene if they kill domestic protesters. The US has seized two oil tankers linked to Venezuelan oil exports — one reportedly escorted by a Russian submarine. And in one move this week it withdrew from some 66 UN and international organisations.
在人们的记忆中，还有哪一年的开局像2026年这样不太平？在仅仅七天多一点时间里，唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)主政的美国已经抓捕了委内瑞拉总统，并宣布控制该国及其石油。美国总统还对古巴、哥伦比亚、墨西哥和格陵兰发出威胁，并警告伊朗领导人：如果他们杀害国内抗议者，美国已准备好出手干预。美国还扣押了两艘与委内瑞拉石油出口有关的油轮——据报道其中一艘当时还有俄罗斯的一艘潜艇提供护航。上周，美国还一举退出大约66个国际组织，包括联合国旗下组织。
