拉夫羅夫: 俄對美國政策模糊持有疑問

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Wednesday that his government has had a lot of questions about what he said were ambiguous and contradictory ideas coming from the new administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Lavrov spoke at the start of a meeting in Moscow with U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, adding that it is important for Russia to understand U.S. intentions.

Lavrov also referenced last week's U.S. strike on a Syrian airbase, which came in response to a chemical weapons attack, calling the U.S. response "troubling."

Tillerson was more brief in his opening statement, but like Lavrov, he said that Wednesday's talks were happening at an important time and would include a frank discussion of their differences and mutual interests.

The top U.S. diplomat said the lines of communication between the two countries "shall always remain open." He said he wants to understand why certain areas of sharp differences exist and the prospects for narrowing those divides.

G7 ministers meeting Tuesday in the Italian city of Lucca failed to agree on targeted sanctions against the Russian and Syrian military, arguing that an investigation would first have to confirm who in Syria used chemical weapons against civilians in the country last week.俄羅斯外長拉夫羅夫星期三說，俄羅斯政府對他所說的美國總統川普新政府的含糊不清和矛盾的想法有很多疑問。

拉夫羅夫在莫斯科與美國國務卿蒂勒森舉行的會談開始時做出上述表示，他還說，俄羅斯必須瞭解美國的意圖。

拉夫羅夫還提到上週美國對敘利亞空軍基地襲擊，作爲對敘利亞發生的化武襲擊的反應。拉夫羅夫稱美國的反應“令人不安”。

蒂勒森在開場時的講話更爲簡短，但是和拉夫羅夫一樣，他表示週三會談在重要時刻進行，雙方將就分歧和共同利益進行坦率討論。

蒂勒森國務卿說，美俄兩國之間的溝通 “將始終保持開放”。 他說，他希望瞭解爲什麼在一些地方存在尖銳的分歧，以及縮小這些分歧的前景。

七國集團外長星期二在意大利城市盧卡舉行的會議沒有能夠在針對俄羅斯和敘利亞軍方實施制裁方面達成一致。有些國家認爲，首先應當進行調查，證實上週究竟是誰在敘利亞針對平民使用了化學武器。
