华盛顿,2月19日(路透社) – 周四,应美国总统唐纳德·特朗普邀请加入其新成立的和平委员会的世界各国领导人,在华盛顿受到了盛大仪式和个人奉承的混合接待。
尽管特朗普总统过去与世界各国领导人关系融洽,但他通常采用”好警察-坏警察”的模式,根据自身利益在赞扬与威胁之间交替。周四,出席会议的人士看到特朗普表现得最为友好。

与会者中没有人提及一些人备受批评的人权记录。只有那些未出席在华盛顿举行的委员会成立会议的人收到了不祥的警告:”你不能跟我耍小聪明,”特朗普说道。
一些美国关键盟友拒绝加入特朗普去年9月为加沙重建而设立的论坛,但他希望该论坛能成为一个全球冲突解决机构。批评人士表示,这可能会干扰联合国的工作。
当各国领导人围拢合影时,活动的背景音乐定下了基调,詹姆斯·布朗1966年的歌曲《这是男人的世界》(It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World)在头顶播放。

加沙是该委员会的首要任务,但特朗普直到其欢迎演讲25分钟后才详细讨论中东冲突,在此之前他专注于称赞舞台上的世界领导人,评价他们的容貌、财富和实力。
特朗普念出了出席的世界领导人的名字——包括国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺——他们都坐在他两侧的舞台上,一些人的桌子上放着红色”让美国再次伟大”(MAGA)帽子。
“巴拉圭总统(圣地亚哥)·佩尼亚在这里,”特朗普指着这位47岁的领导人说,”年轻英俊的家伙。年轻英俊总是不错的。但这并不意味着我们必须喜欢你。我不喜欢年轻英俊的男人。我喜欢女人。对男人,我没什么兴趣。”
尽管如此,他对男性身材的兴趣显而易见。有一次,他让人群看看印度尼西亚总统普拉博沃·苏比安托”坚毅”的脸庞。
特朗普还讲述了自己如何迫使领导人按他的意愿行事的故事。他告诉人群,他如何利用关税威胁施压一些国家,如印度和巴基斯坦,以结束冲突。印度坚决否认了这一说法。
美丽的人们
总统暗示他的新委员会可能会在知名度上超过联合国。
“和平委员会将几乎会审视联合国…他们需要帮助,”特朗普说道,转而回忆起他去年与第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普在纽约联合国总部被困在自动扶梯上的经历。
“我很幸运我的影星第一夫人在我前面,因为我把手放在了她身体的某个部位,”特朗普谈到扶梯事件时说道。
在他的演讲中,”美丽”一词至少被使用了14次,用来赞扬他政府的工作和以他命名的活动场地。
他表示,国务卿马尔科·卢比奥提出了一个”惊喜”——将此次活动举办地美国和平研究所(U.S. Institute of Peace)以他的名字重新命名。
“我事先不知道这个惊喜,”特朗普说,”我以为他们可能会给我一大笔钱或者什么,也许是现金。”

Trump mixes diplomacy and flattery at peace board meeting

WASHINGTON, Feb 19 (Reuters) – World leaders who accepted the invitation of President Donald Trump to join his new peace board were greeted in Washington on Thursday with a mix of fanfare and personal flattery.
While the U.S. president has been chummy with world leaders in the past, he has typically leaned in to a good-cop-bad-cop routine, alternating between praise and threats as his interests dictate. On Thursday, those in attendance saw Trump at his most convivial.

There was no hint of the criticized human-rights records of some attendees. It was only those who did not attend the inaugural meeting of the board in Washington who received an ominous warning: “You can’t play cute with me,” Trump said.
A number of key U.S. allies have declined to join the forum set up by Trump in September for Gaza reconstruction but which he hopes can become a global conflict-resolution body. Critics say it risks interfering with the work of the United Nations.
As leaders huddled for a group photo, the event’s soundtrack set the tone, as James Brown’s 1966 song, “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World,” blared overhead.

Gaza is the board’s first priority, but the Middle East conflict was not discussed in detail by Trump until 25 minutes into his welcome speech, as he focused first on complimenting the world leaders on the event stage, rating some of them on their good looks, wealth and strength.
Trump recited the names of the world leaders in attendance – as well as FIFA President Gianni Infantino – who were all seated on both sides of him on stage, some with red MAGA hats in front of them on the table.
“President (Santiago) Pena of Paraguay is here,” Trump said, pointing out the 47-year-old leader, “Young handsome guy. It’s always nice to be young and handsome. Doesn’t mean we have to like you. I don’t like young, handsome men. Women I like. Men, I don’t have any interest.”
Nonetheless, his interest in the male physique was apparent. At one point, he told the crowd to look at the “tough” face of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto.
Trump also told stories in which he portrayed himself as having coerced leaders into doing what he wanted. He told the crowd how he had used threats of tariffs to pressure some countries, such as India and Pakistan, into ending conflicts. India has firmly rejected this assertion.
BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
The president suggested that his new board could overtake the United Nations in prominence.
“The Board of Peace is going to almost be looking over the United Nations … they need help,” Trump said, digressing to recount his visit last year when he and first lady Melania Trump were stuck on an escalator in the UN headquarters in New York.
“I was lucky my movie-star first lady was in front of me, because I put my hand on a certain part of her body,” Trump said of the escalator incident.
In total, the president used the term “beautiful” at least 14 times in his speech to praise his administration’s work and the event space, which was named after him.
He said it was Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s idea to “surprise” him by renaming the U.S. Institute of Peace, where Thursday’s event was held, in his honor.
“I didn’t know the surprise,” Trump said, “I thought maybe they were going to give me a lot of money or something, maybe cash.”
