特朗普的欧洲行派对被恼人的现实搅局


2026年6月16日04:00:08.002 UTC / 美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)

派对过后便是宿醉。

唐纳德·特朗普总统终身滴酒不沾。但他在周日晚上仍玩得尽兴:以军用战机飞越白宫上空、搭配多场终极格斗冠军赛(UFC)笼斗赛事,庆祝自己的80岁生日。他将这场活动称作“白宫历史上最不可思议的夜晚之一”。

在签署结束伊朗战争的谅解备忘录后情绪高涨的他,略带夸张地宣称自己是首位实现中东和平的美国总统。

但欢乐总有结束的时候——即便对这位总统而言,批评者指责他用角斗士式的职业拳击赛亵渎了白宫的庄严,又以一场铺张的晚宴嘲讽了为食品杂货费发愁的美国民众,而他对此不屑一顾。

特朗普最不想做的事,或许就是在步入八旬后的最初几天里,与那些与他关系紧张的欧洲领导人会面。

但当地时间周一凌晨3点15分刚过,“空军一号”从跑道起飞,他便匆忙赶往法国出席G7峰会,这就是他的行程安排。

特朗普在彻夜为UFC格斗赛事助威后嗓音沙哑,这也道尽了次日清晨的状态。

回到国内,派对最糟的环节来了——清理工作。

再过几天特朗普回国时,现场拆除工作将进入收尾阶段,那座高耸的“巨爪”照明装置的残余部件,将成为他总统任期内最喜爱的日子之一仅存的遗迹。

这位总统试图在华盛顿留下印记的另一项举措也被证实是临时性的:他的名字曾与约翰·F·肯尼迪一同刻在华盛顿表演艺术中心的墙面。一名法官下令移除了特朗普的名字,但周一一块大型白色防水布遮住了标识,让总统免于尴尬。肯尼迪中心发言人告诉CNN,遮盖物是为了对大理石进行修复工作。

特朗普的另一项遗产项目也状况不佳:国家广场上的倒影池新刷的蓝色池底被藻类大量繁殖蒙上了阴影。特朗普主导的翻新工程牵涉一起沸沸扬扬的丑闻:该工程以1400万美元的价格签订了无竞标合同。

麻烦接踵而至,也就难怪周日的狂欢氛围没能延续到日内瓦湖畔的优雅法国温泉小镇埃维昂莱班。

外界对特朗普伊朗协议的差评愈演愈烈,可能会扫这位总统的兴,尽管他坚称这是一份“非常有力的文件”。

但回到华盛顿的共和党参议员詹姆斯·兰克福德表示:“我们都有疑问。没人看过这份文件。”

目前尚不清楚,在计划于周五在瑞士举行正式签署仪式前,本届政府推迟公布谅解备忘录的做法在政治上还能维持多久。

批评者警告称,特朗普或许只是解决了自己发动战争引发的问题——伊朗封锁霍尔木兹海峡,以及伊朗核计划、导弹计划等核心问题都尚未得到解决。

但副总统J·D·万斯周一在接受CNN记者杰克·塔珀采访时表示,该协议涵盖了美国的所有关切,因为德黑兰政权明白,如果不解决这些问题,就无法获得经济利益。

“这份谅解备忘录建立了一个框架,伊朗只要履行协议规定的义务,就能获得协议带来的好处,”万斯说道。不过,他透露该谅解备忘录仅基于一份一页半的“通用文件”,这可能会加剧外界对特朗普战略的担忧。

特朗普向来对G7峰会没什么好感。

2018年在加拿大与德国总理安格拉·默克尔的公开对峙,便是他两届任内跨大西洋关系破裂的典型例证。不过这类争执也在国内为他的“美国优先”品牌加分。

特朗普去年再次在加拿大举办的峰会上提前离场。

法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙似乎正试图阻止特朗普再次中途退场,他安排峰会结束后周三在凡尔赛宫为这位喜爱盛大场面的总统举办一场奢华晚宴。当晚还将庆祝美国建国250周年。

马克龙和特朗普在美国总统的两届任期伊始曾是朋友——这很大程度上要归功于这位法国领导人竭力讨好访客,试图将特朗普留在西方阵营之内,而非将其推到对立面。

但乌克兰和伊朗局势,以及冒犯欧洲人 sensibilities 的“让美国再次伟大”世界观,让两人关系渐行渐远。马克龙向特朗普发去生日祝贺,并尽力对周日晚间法国UFC选手的出色表现表示兴趣,但双方之间仍暗流涌动。

特朗普在马克龙列举峰会目标时似乎有些不耐烦。但今年早些时候,特朗普曾在社交媒体上嘲讽这位法国总统的婚姻状况,并向记者宣称“没人希望他连任”,因为他的任期明年就将结束。不过特朗普还是客气地宣称两人是“特别的朋友”。

但法国针对美国科技巨头的数字税政策正引发争议。特朗普在接受《纽约邮报》采访时表示:“如果他们这么做,我别无选择,只能对所有从法国进口的香槟和葡萄酒征收100%的关税。”

周二,在由美国、法国、英国、德国、意大利、加拿大和日本组成的全球主要经济体俱乐部中,预计还将上演更多如履薄冰的交锋。

一些成员国怒不可遏,因为他们事先未被告知这场撼动其经济的伊朗战争。大多数成员国都是“中等强国”,加拿大总理马克·卡尼今年曾表示,这些国家必须联合起来对抗特朗普。

欧洲各国对特朗普宣称拥有丹麦自治领地格陵兰主权,以及他发动关税战的反应,进一步强化了一种日益强烈的认知:美国不再是可靠的盟友——甚至可能正在变成对手。

另一个盟友关系的紧张可能会进一步破坏特朗普的心情。

他将与基尔·斯塔默正面交锋,而就在前一天,这位处境艰难的英国首相誓言要禁止16岁以下儿童使用社交媒体,此举肯定会激怒特朗普的科技寡头好友。本月早些时候,万斯将英国南安普敦一名18岁大学生被刺事件归咎于“移民大规模涌入”,英国政府随后斥责了他。

今年4月国王查尔斯三世访美时,白宫曾营造出“特殊关系”融洽的氛围,如今这一切都已烟消云散。

国际总统出访向来令人疲惫不堪,时差、乏味的外交礼仪和无休止的日程安排,即便对白宫随行团队中最年轻、最健康的人也是考验。

但此次出访对刚满80岁的特朗普来说更是一场新考验:外界对他的健康状况猜测不断,近期他在椭圆形办公室的一些活动中显得昏昏欲睡。白宫表示特朗普健康状况极佳,并嘲讽了有关他闭眼的媒体报道。

与前总统乔·拜登一样,特朗普在海外的表现将受到特别严格的审视——尤其是因为这位美国第45任和第47任总统,曾不遗余力地指出第46任总统拜登日渐衰退的能力。

但很快又会迎来派对时间。

特朗普计划将7月4日官方建国250周年庆祝活动挪为己用,举办另一场华盛顿大型活动,此举势必引发政治风暴。

“我们将举办有史以来最壮观的特朗普集会,一场‘致敬美国’的活动,”特朗普周一在Truth社交平台上写道。

和任何称职的派对主人一样,他表示将亲自挑选活动播放列表。

Trump’s European after-party spoiled by irksome realities

2026-06-16T04:00:08.002Z / CNN

After the party comes the hangover.

President Donald Trump is a lifelong teetotaler. But he still had a blast Sunday night, marking his 80th birthday with a military flyover and a bumper bill of UFC cage fights on what he dubbed “one of the most incredible evenings in the history of the White House.”

Pumped up by his memorandum of understanding to end the Iran war, he said with a touch of exaggeration that he was the first US president to make Middle East peace.

But the fun had to end sometime — even for a president who shrugged off critics who said he defiled the dignity of the White House with gladiatorial prize fights and insulted Americans struggling to pay for groceries with an evening of excess.

There’s probably nothing Trump would like to do less than spend the first days of his ninth decade with European leaders with whom he’s got a tense history.

But that was his lot as Air Force One lifted off the tarmac at just after 3:15 a.m. Monday and he raced to France to the G7 summit.

Hoarseness in Trump’s voice — after a night cheering the UFC fisticuffs — told the story of the morning after.

Back home, it was time for the worst part of a party — the clean-up.

When Trump gets home in a couple of days, the teardown will be advanced and any remnants of the towering “Claw” lighting rig will be all that is left from one of his favorite days as president.

Another attempt by the president to put his stamp on Washington also proved to be temporary — his name etched next to John F. Kennedy’s on Washington’s performing arts center. Trump’s name was just removed on the order of a judge, but the president’s blushes were spared by a large white tarp on Monday. A Kennedy Center spokesman told CNN the covering was to enable repair work to the marble.

Another Trump legacy project is also looking green about the gills: An algae infestation clouds the newly painted blue bottom of the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall. Trump’s renovation project is part of a bubbling scandal over the $14 million cost of a no-bid contract.

With problems piling up, it was no surprise that Sunday’s glow didn’t extend to the genteel French spa town of Évian-les-Bains on the shores of Lake Geneva.

Worsening reviews for Trump’s Iran agreement risked becoming a mood-killer for a president who nevertheless claimed it was a “very powerful document.”

But back in Washington, Republican Sen. James Lankford said: “We all have questions. No one’s seen it.”

It’s not clear how longer it will be politically sustainable for the administration to delay publication of the MOU until after a formal signing ceremony planned for Switzerland on Friday.

Critics warn that the president may simply have fixed a problem he caused by starting the war — Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz and key issues such as Iran’s nuclear and missile programs haven’t been resolved.

But Vice President JD Vance told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Monday that the agreement encapsulates all US concerns because the Tehran regime understands it will not accrue economic benefits without addressing them.

“What the MOU does is set up a framework whereby the Iranians get the benefits of the bargain by meeting their obligations under the bargain,” Vance said. Still, his revelation that the MOU is based on a “general document” that runs to only a page and a half is likely to fuel concerns over Trump’s strategy.

Trump has never shown much love for the G7.

Public showdowns like the one in Canada with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in 2018 exemplify the fracturing of transatlantic ties during his two terms. Still, such kerfuffles also built his America First brand back home.

Trump left last year’s summit — again in Canada — early.

French President Emmanuel Macron seems to be trying to forestall another disappearing act by scheduling a lavish dinner after the summit Wednesday at the Palace of Versailles for a president who loves pomp. The evening will also celebrate America’s 250th birthday.

Macron and Trump started both of the US president’s two terms as friends — thanks largely to the French leader’s efforts to flatter his visitor to try to keep him inside the Western tent, rather than pulling it down from outside.

But the wars in Ukraine and Iran and a MAGA worldview that offends European sensibilities drove them apart. There was an undercurrent of tension when Macron congratulated Trump on his “celebration” and did his best to show interest in the strong performance by a French UFC fighter on Sunday night.

Trump seemed a little bored when Macron listed the goals of the summit. But after taking to social media earlier this year to mock the state of the French president’s marriage and claiming to reporters that “nobody wants him” because his term ends next year, Trump courteously declared they were “special friends.”

But controversy is brewing over a French digital tax on US tech giants. “If they do, I have no choice but to charge a 100% tariff on all champagnes and all wines coming out of France,” Trump told the New York Post in an interview.

More walking on eggshells is expected Tuesday in the powerhouse economies club featuring the US, France, Britain, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan.

Some members are fuming they weren’t told in advance about the Iran war that rocked their economies. Most are “middle powers,” which Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said this year must band together to resist Trump.

Shock among Europeans over the president’s claim on the Danish autonomous territory of Greenland as well as his tariff wars have reinforced a growing sense that Trump’s America is not only no longer a reliable ally — it may be becoming an adversary.

Strains in another alliance might further spoil Trump’s mood.

He will come face-to-face with Keir Starmer a day after the beleaguered British prime minister vowed to ban social media for children under 16, a move sure to infuriate Trump’s tech oligarch friends. And earlier this month, the British government rebuked Vance after he blamed the stabbing of an 18-year-old college student in Southampton, England, on a “mass invasion of migrants.”

So much for the special relationship rapport conjured by another White House party — King Charles III’s visit in April.

International presidential trips are always grueling as jet lag, tedious diplomatic rituals and endless days strain even the youngest and fittest in the White House entourage.

But the visit is also a new test for a president who’s now turned 80 — amid intense speculation about his health — and who has appeared sleepy in some recent Oval Office events. The White House says Trump is in excellent health and has mocked media reports about his closed eyes.

As with former President Joe Biden, Trump’s performance abroad will come under particular scrutiny — not least because the 45th and 47th president played the biggest role in pointing out the 46th’s declining capacities.

But it will be party time again before long.

In a move sure to cause a political storm, Trump is co-opting official 250th anniversary celebrations on July 4 to star in another Washington spectacular.

“We are going to host the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all, a “TRIBUTE TO AMERICA,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday.

And, like any good party host, he said he’d choose the playlist.
