“特朗普总统及本届政府对17人发起了制裁,我们得知这17人与令人发指的贾迈勒·卡舒吉一案有关。我们整个美国政府在继续调查、试图了解,并确定事情的经过,我们也将继续追究责任人的责任。对此我们的确从一开始就已做出明确表示。
我们正竭尽所能,确保我们为美国妥善处理此事,保持与沙特阿拉伯王国的战略关系,并保护美国人民。这两件事都可以实现,并且我们已经高效地完成了。”2018年12月1日,蓬佩奥国务卿在布宜诺斯艾利斯接受CNN记者Wolf Blitzer采访。
“President Trump and this administration sanctioned 17 people that we came to learn were connected to the heinous murder of Jamal Khashoggi. All across the United States government we continue to investigate, to try and learn, to make determinations about what happened, and we’ll continue to hold those responsible accountable. We’ve been very clear about that since literally the very beginning.
We are doing everything we can to make sure that we get it right for America, that we keep the strategic relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and protect the American people. Those two things can both be done and we’ve done it very effectively.” Secretary Pompeo, Interview with Wolf Blitzer, CNN, Buenos Aires, December 1, 2018 link(en): https://www.state.gov/secretary/remarks/2018/12/287721.htm
