华盛顿,3月10日(路透社)- 周二,美国参议院投票确认约书亚·鲁德(Joshua Rudd)将军领导国家安全局(NSA)和美国网络司令部,填补了自唐纳德·特朗普总统在一场国家安全清洗中突然解雇其前任后一直空缺的职位。
参议院以71票对29票的结果通过了对鲁德的确认,使他成为四星上将。
特朗普于去年12月提名当时担任中将、美军印太司令部副司令的鲁德担任这一双重职务。
国家安全局负责为全球情报和反情报目的监控、收集和处理信息数据。网络司令部开展进攻性和防御性网络作战,这在包括当前伊朗战争在内的军事行动中变得日益重要。
该机构在今年4月经历了动荡,特朗普解雇了蒂莫西·豪(Timothy Haugh)将军及其副手温迪·诺布尔(Wendy Noble)。
解雇没有给出理由,发生在共和党总统与劳拉·卢默(Laura Loomer)举行椭圆形办公室会议之后。卢默是一名被称为阴谋论者的极右翼政治活动家,她在X平台上表示,已向特朗普提供了一份她认为对其不忠的官员名单。
美国参议院情报委员会主席、阿肯色州共和党参议员汤姆·科顿(Tom Cotton)在一份声明中赞扬了此次确认。
“鲁德将军是一位为国家服务一生的战斗英雄。他是领导国家抵御伊朗、俄罗斯和中国网络攻击的正确人选,”科顿说道,同时批评民主党人行动不够迅速。
俄勒冈州参议员罗恩·怀登(Ron Wyden)是情报委员会的资深成员,他在给特朗普的一封信中表示,他认为鲁德不具备资格,并阻挠了加快其确认程序的努力。

US Senate confirms National Security Agency director, ending long vacancy
March 10, 2026 6:29 PM UTC / Reuters
WASHINGTON, March 10 (Reuters) – The U.S. Senate confirmed General Joshua Rudd on Tuesday to lead the National Security Agency and the nation’s Cyber Command, filling a position that had been vacant since President Donald Trump abruptly fired his predecessor in a national security purge.
The Senate voted 71-29 to confirm Rudd, making him a four-star general.
Trump nominated Rudd, then a lieutenant general and No. 2 at the military’s Indo-Pacific Command, for the so-called dual-hat position in December.
节点运行失败
The NSA monitors, collects and processes information and data for global intelligence and counterintelligence purposes. Cyber Command conducts offensive and defensive cyber operations, an increasingly important part of military campaigns including the current Iran war.
The agency was shaken up in April, when Trump fired General Timothy Haugh along with Wendy Noble, his deputy.
No reason was given for the firings, which took place after the Republican president had an Oval Office meeting with Laura Loomer, a far-right political activist known as a conspiracy theorist, who said on X that she had given Trump a list of officials she considered disloyal to him.
In a statement, Republican U.S. Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, praised the confirmation.
“General Rudd is a war hero with a lifetime of service to our nation. He is the right choice to lead the protection of our nation from cyberattacks by Iran, Russia, and China,” said Cotton, who criticized Democrats for not acting more quickly.
Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, a senior member of the intelligence panel, said in a letter to Trump that he did not feel Rudd was qualified and blocked efforts to fast-track his confirmation.
