美国国会议员亚历山大·奥卡西奥·科尔特斯在2026年慕尼黑演讲中错误地声称委内瑞拉"位于赤道以下", Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrongly claimed Venezuela is “below the equator” during a 2026 Munich speech, sparking criticism over her foreign policy knowledge.

2026年2月,国会女议员亚历山大·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯在慕尼黑安全会议上的演讲中错误地说委内瑞拉“在赤道之下”,这是事实错误,因为该国大部分地区位于赤道以北。 In February 2026, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced widespread criticism after incorrectly stating that Venezuela is “below the equator” during a speech at the Munich Security Conference, a factual error since most of the country lies north of the equator. 这个错误是在讨论美国外交政策和特朗普政府在委内瑞拉的行动时犯下的,在社交媒体上受到嘲弄,并被批评者抓住作为她缺乏外交政策专门知识的证据,特别是在可能进行2028年总统竞选前。 The mistake, made while discussing U.S. foreign policy and the Trump administration’s actions in Venezuela, drew mockery on social media and was seized upon by critics as evidence of her lack of foreign policy expertise, especially ahead of a potential 2028 presidential run. 虽然她所传达的更广泛的信息侧重于抵制专制主义和加强工人阶级权力,但Gaffe就她是否准备担任高级别国际角色的问题不断提出疑问。 While her broader message focused on resisting authoritarianism and strengthening working-class power, the gaffe contributed to ongoing questions about her readiness for high-level international roles.
