U.S. lawmakers of both parties on Tuesday resolutely endorsed the Trump administration’s decision to halt delivery of F-35 fighter equipment to Turkey over Ankara’s decision to purchase a Russian surface-to-air missile system — a possible first step to blocking Turkey from acquiring the stealth jet altogether. 由于土耳其决定购买俄罗斯地对空导弹系统，特朗普政府决定停止向土耳其交付F-35战斗机装备，美国两党议员周二对此表示坚决支持。这可能是阻止土耳其购买这款隐形战机的第一步。 “If Turkey goes through with the Russian system, there is no way in the world that we can justify training them [on the F-35] and going through with our commitment on the [delivery of] the two F-35s,” Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman James Inhofe, an Oklahoma Republican, said. 俄克拉何马州共和党参议员、参议院军事委员会主席詹姆斯·英霍夫表示:“如果土耳其继续使用俄罗斯的系统，我们没有任何理由对他们进行F-35训练，或是履行我们交付两架F-35的承诺。” “The two can’t exist [together], the F-35 and the Russian system,” said Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who also serves on the panel. “We’re not going to allow that to happen.” “F-35和俄罗斯系统不可能同时存在。”参议院军事委员会成员、西维吉尼亚州民主党参议员曼钦说，“我们不会允许这种事情发生。” |
