华盛顿4月27日电(路透社)——两名共和党国会议员呼吁特朗普政府授权国民警卫队应对潜在的无人机相关威胁,并确保即将到来的世界杯赛事拥有“统一的联邦安保态势”。

美国众议员迈克尔·麦考尔和伊利亚·克莱恩均为众议院国土安全委员会成员,他们于周五致信美国国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马伦、代理司法部长托德·布兰奇以及五角大楼负责人皮特·赫格斯塞思。

麦考尔和克莱恩呼吁立即开展跨部门行动,保障今夏承办世界杯赛事的11座美国城市上空的空域安全。

他们表示,赛事主办方与主办城市之间可能存在人员短缺和复杂的管辖权分歧,这可能导致安保环境碎片化,并补充称当前局势需要统一的联邦安保态势。

“国民警卫队具备快速部署能力、全国范围的伸缩性,以及应对国内紧急事件的丰富经验,因此能够协助联邦和州当局开展反无人机系统(C-UAS)应对工作,并协调世界杯安保形成统一合力,”他们在信中写道。

美国国土安全部、司法部和五角大楼未立即回应置评请求。

在议员呼吁授权军队应对无人机威胁的次日,华盛顿发生了一名枪手在白宫记者协会晚宴上开火的事件,引发了外界对今夏世界杯赛事安保的新担忧。

白宫周一表示,周六的枪击事件后,世界杯赛事将安全举办。

“特朗普总统致力于确保本届世界杯不仅能为所有球迷和游客带来绝佳体验,还将成为史上最安全、安保最完善的一届世界杯,”白宫发言人戴维斯·英格尔在一份声明中说道。

WASHINGTON, April 27 (Reuters) – Two Republican members of Congress are calling on the Trump administration to empower the National Guard to address ​potential drone-related threats and ensure a “unified federal security posture” at ‌the upcoming World Cup games.

The letter by U.S. Representatives Michael McCaul and Elijah Crane, who both sit on the House of Representatives’ Committee on Homeland Security, was ​sent to U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, acting U.S. ​Attorney General Todd Blanche and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth ⁠on Friday.

McCaul and Crane called for immediate interagency action to secure ​the airspace over the 11 U.S. cities hosting World Cup matches this ​summer.

Potential personnel shortages and complex jurisdictional divides between event organizers and host cities risk creating a fragmented environment, they said, adding that the situation requires a ​unified federal security posture.

“With its rapid deployability, nationwide scalability, and extensive ​experience responding to domestic emergencies, the National Guard is uniquely positioned to assist federal ‌and ⁠state authorities with C-UAS mitigation and unified coordination for World Cup security,” they wrote.

The Department of Homeland Security, Justice Department and Pentagon did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The call to deputize troops ​to respond to ​drone threats came ⁠a day before a gunman opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, sparking new security ​concerns about this summer’s World Cup games.

The White House ​said on ⁠Monday that the matches will be safe following Saturday’s shooting.

“President Trump is focused on ensuring that this is not only an incredible experience ⁠for all ​fans and visitors, but also the ​safest and most secure in history,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle said in a statement.
