华盛顿,2月10日(路透社)- 据知情人士透露,美国全国州长协会(NGA)主席、共和党人凯文·斯蒂特周一告诉成员,在白宫排除了民主党州长的邀请后,该协会取消了本月晚些时候与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的会面。
全美州长每年都会在华盛顿参加NGA会议。按照惯例,总统会在白宫主持州长会议,与内阁秘书及其他官员会面,并为州长及其配偶举办一场正式的晚宴。

“邀请个别州长参加白宫会议的行为破坏了联邦与州之间合作的重要机会,”代表美国州长的两党协会首席执行官布兰登·塔特姆在一份声明中表示。
“在我们国家历史的这个时刻,机构继续维护团结、尊严和建设性互动至关重要。”
白宫未立即回应置评请求。
原定于2月20日举行的白宫会议原计划是该协会年度冬季集会的一部分。该协会领导层由九名成员组成,包括共和党人斯蒂特和民主党马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔(Wes Moore),摩尔担任副主席。

《纽约时报》上周报道称,特朗普仍计划在白宫为州长及其配偶举办一场单独的两党晚宴。
然而,据该报报道,特朗普亲自阻止了对摩尔和民主党科罗拉多州州长贾里德·波利斯(也是该协会成员)的邀请。
摩尔的发言人大卫·特纳表示:”美国全国州长协会有着两党聚会交流最佳实践和想法的悠久传统,无论党派归属如何。这是美国人所期望和应得的,不幸的是,白宫似乎并不这么认为。”
波利斯的发言人在被联系置评时未立即回应。

WASHINGTON, Feb 10 (Reuters) – The National Governors Association cancelled a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump later this month after the White House excluded Democratic governors, chairman Kevin Stitt told members on Monday, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Governors from across the U.S. gather every year in Washington for the NGA meeting. It is tradition for the president to host the governors at the White House for a session with Cabinet secretaries, among other officials, and a black-tie dinner for the governors and their spouses.

“To disinvite individual governors to the White House sessions undermines an important opportunity for federal-state collaboration,” Brandon Tatum, CEO of the bipartisan association representing U.S. governors, said in a statement.
“At this moment in our nation’s history, it is critical that institutions continue to stand for unity, dignity and constructive engagement.”
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The White House meeting, which was scheduled for February 20, was slated to be part of the association’s annual winter gathering. The association’s leadership is made up of nine members, including Republican Stitt and Democratic Maryland Governor Wes Moore, who serves as vice chairman.

The New York Times reported last week that Trump still planned to hold a separate, bipartisan dinner for governors and their spouses at the White House.
However, according to the newspaper, Trump personally blocked invites for Moore and Democratic Colorado Governor Jared Polis, who is also a member of the association.
“The National Governors Association has a long tradition of bipartisan gatherings to trade best practices and ideas, regardless of party affiliation. It’s what Americans expect and deserve and unfortunately, the White House does not seem to feel the same,” said David Turner, a spokesperson for Moore.
A spokesperson for Polis did not immediately respond when reached for comment.
