德国重申美国是最高安全伙伴,拒绝与中国建立更密切的关系,并拒绝亚洲的先期贸易交易。 Germany reaffirms U.S. as top security partner, rejects closer ties with China, and advances trade deals in Asia.

德国外交部长约翰·瓦德弗尔(Johann Wadephul)指出,德国仍然比中国更接近美国,重申美国是欧洲最重要的安全伙伴,尽管北约的国防开支和美国对格陵兰的主张在跨大西洋关系紧张。 German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stated Germany remains closer to the United States than China, reaffirming the U.S. as Europe’s most important security partner despite transatlantic tensions over NATO defense spending and U.S. claims on Greenland. 他拒绝与中国建立更紧密的联系,称这些关系是误导性的,并强调欧洲有能力通过统一捍卫其利益,正如其对美国在格陵兰问题上的姿态作出协调反应所显示的那样。 He rejected closer ties with China, calling them misguided, and emphasized Europe’s ability to defend its interests through unity, as seen in its coordinated response to U.S. overtures on Greenland. Wadephul还强调,欧盟的自由贸易协定对于维持有章可循的全球贸易至关重要,并注意到目前正在努力与包括马来西亚、泰国、菲律宾和澳大利亚在内的几个亚太国家扩大自由贸易协定。 Wadephul also highlighted the EU’s free trade agreements as crucial to maintaining rules-based global trade, noting ongoing efforts to expand them with several Asia-Pacific nations including Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Australia.
