华盛顿— 在华盛顿特区地区波托马克河发生大规模污水泄漏（可能是美国历史上最大规模的此类泄漏）后，总统特朗普正在指责大都会华盛顿地区的政府领导人，其中包括马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔。
特朗普总统周二在Truth Social平台发文称，如果地方领导人”礼貌地”提出请求，联邦政府将帮助清理这次发生在1月中旬的泄漏事件。不过他周一在另一篇帖子中曾表示，他将指示联邦当局”立即提供所有必要的管理、指导和协调”以保护波托马克河。
在摩尔表示联邦政府对导致此次泄漏的60年历史的波托马克拦截器（污水管道）坍塌负有维护责任后，特朗普在帖子中称，马里兰州、弗吉尼亚州和华盛顿特区应对此次”大规模污水泄漏”负责，如果他们无法解决，”就必须给我打电话，礼貌地请求我来解决”。他补充说，”联邦政府根本没有参与此次事件，但我们可以解决它。”
1月份，马里兰州蒙哥马利县的一段下水道管道坍塌，导致超过2亿加仑的废水流入波托马克河。尽管负责该地区饮用水、废水收集和污水处理的公共事业机构DC Water已转移了废水泄漏，并正在努力净化水质，但在废水严重污染波托马克河（大肠杆菌和其他细菌含量超标）之前未能完成处理。DC Water由美国环境保护署（EPA）监管。
“这是激进左派造成的环境危害，”总统周二在帖子中写道，”尽管他们满口碳足迹和其他环保议题，但却任由数百吨污水排入波托马克河，使其不再那么’宏伟’。立即行动。我在等你们的电话。”
总统将此次泄漏的大部分责任直接归咎于摩尔和马里兰州的民主党官员。他上周末表示，联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）正在响应此次事件，但该机构的上级部门国土安全部的持续资金中断正在影响FEMA的运作。
但周二，摩尔表示，长期以来对该污水项目负有责任的是联邦政府。
“我知道这对所有人来说都是突发新闻，但总统说的不是事实，”摩尔在马里兰州对记者表示，”你们看到的皮埃蒙特污水项目，过去一年联邦政府并没有责任——事实上，过去一个世纪以来，联邦政府一直对该项目负有责任。”
他补充说，马里兰州环境部的工作人员实际上是首批响应泄漏事件的人员之一，他们对水质和污水进行了检测。摩尔还表示，EPA拒绝参加马里兰州官员邀请其参加的国会简报会。
“现在泄漏基本上已经99%得到控制，我很高兴美国总统终于意识到这是他的职责，而他过去一个月都没有履行这个职责，”摩尔补充道，”所以我说，’听着，我们欢迎你帮忙处理剩下未完成的1%，而我们一直在做你的工作。’”
特朗普最近明确表示，他并不喜欢摩尔。这位马里兰州州长是特朗普本周拒绝邀请参加年度白宫两党州长会议和晚宴的两名民主党人之一。摩尔在周日晚间播出的” Matters That Matter”市政厅节目中向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻讲述了这一被冷落的经历。
他对白宫的冷遇不屑一顾，称”如果会议的目的是变成互相指责……我不会去”。
在另一篇社交媒体帖子中，总统称摩尔”脏话连篇”，批评他作为马里兰州州长的表现，并指责他谎称获得军事勋章。摩尔表示，特朗普的帖子”充满谎言”且”精神失常”。
“我会与任何人合作，但我不会向任何人低头，”摩尔告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，”我认为总统对此有意见。”
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系DC Water、华盛顿特区市长缪里尔·鲍泽办公室、马里兰州环境质量部、摩尔办公室、弗吉尼亚州州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格办公室、弗吉尼亚州环境质量部和EPA请求置评。
弗吉尼亚州环境质量部向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示：”受损的污水基础设施由DC Water所有和运营，破裂点位于马里兰州蒙哥马利县。”
根据DC Water的说法，波托马克拦截器是根据国会1960年通过的一项法律修建的，该法律授权哥伦比亚特区修建、运营和维护一条连接杜勒斯与华盛顿特区下水道系统的下水道线。
Trump blames Maryland, D.C. and Virginia for massive sewage spill, offers help if they ask “politely”
February 17, 2026 / 4:06 PM EST / CBS News
Washington— President Trump is blaming government leaders in the metro Washington, D.C. area, among them Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, following a massive sewage spill into the Potomac River in the Washington, D.C. area, perhaps the largest in American history.
President Trump said in a post on Truth Social Tuesday that the federal government would help clean up the spill, which occurred in mid-January, if local leaders ask “politely,” though he had said Monday in another post that he would direct federal authorities to “immediately provide all necessary management, direction and coordination” to protect the Potomac.
After Moore indicated the federal government bears the responsibility for maintaining the collapsed 60-year-old Potomac Interceptor behind the spill, Mr. Trump said in his post that Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. were responsible for the “massive sewage spill,” and if they can’t fix it, “they have to call me and ask, politely, to get it fixed.” He added that the “federal government is not at all involved with what has taken place, but we can fix it.”
A section of the sewer line collapsed in January in Montgomery County, Maryland, sending more than 200 million gallons of wastewater into the Potomac. Although DC Water — the public utility that’s responsible for the District’s drinking water, wastewater collection and sewage treatment — has diverted the wastewater spill and is working to sanitize the water, it didn’t manage to do so before the wastewater severely tainted the Potomac with high levels of E. coli and other bacteria. DC Water is overseen by the Environmental Protection Agency.
“This is a Radical Left caused Environmental Hazard,” the president wrote in his post Tuesday. “With all of their talk about carbon footprints and everything else, they’re allowing hundreds of tons of sewage to pour into the Mighty Potomac, making it much less mighty. ACT FAST. I am awaiting your call.”
The president placed most of the blame for the spill squarely on Moore and Democratic officials in Maryland. He said over the weekend that the Federal Emergency Management Agency is responding to the incident, but that the ongoing funding lapse for its parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, is affecting the agency.
But on Tuesday, Moore said it’s the federal government that has long been responsible for the sewage project.
“I know this is breaking news to everyone, but the president is not telling the truth,” Moore told reporters in Maryland. “Because what you’re looking at with the Piedmont sewage project, that’s not something that the federal government has had responsibility for for the past year; it’s not something that the federal government has had responsibility for the past decade — in fact, the federal government has had responsibility for that for the past century.”
He added that Maryland Department of the Environment workers were, in fact, among the first to respond to the spill, testing the water quality and sewage. And Moore said the EPA declined to join a congressional briefing that Maryland officials had invited the agency to join.
“Now that it is essentially 99% contained, I love the fact that the president of the United States is finally realizing that this was his job, and he hasn’t been doing it for the past month,” Moore added. “So I say, ‘Listen, we’d welcome you to help to address the remaining 1% that hasn’t been complete while we’ve been doing your job.’”
Mr. Trump has made it clear recently he’s no fan of Moore. The Maryland governor is one of two Democrats whom Mr. Trump deemed “not worthy” to be invited to an annual White House meeting and dinner with governors from both parties this week. Moore discussed the slight with CBS News during a “Things That Matter” town hall that aired Sunday night.
He shrugged off the White House snub, saying that “if the point of the meeting is to turn it into name-calling … I will not go.”
In another social media post, the president called Moore “foul mouthed,” criticized his performance as Maryland governor and accused him of lying about receiving a military medal. Moore said Mr. Trump’s post was “full of lies” and “unhinged.”
“I will work with anyone. But I will bow down to no one,” Moore told CBS News. “And I think the president has a problem with that.”
CBS News has reached out to DC Water, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office, the Maryland Department of Environmental Quality, Moore’s office, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s office, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and the EPA for comment.
“The damaged portion of sewage infrastructure is owned and operated by DC Water, and the location of the break is in Montgomery County, MD,” the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality told CBS News.
The Potomac Interceptor was built as a result of a law Congress passed in 1960 that authorized the District of Columbia to construct, operate and maintain a sewer line connecting Dulles to the Washington, D.C. sewer system, according to DC Water.
