트럼프 중국 방문 마무리, 대법원 미페프리스톤 판결, 키어 스타머 사임 압박
President Trump wrapped up a 43-hour visit to Beijing claiming major trade deals, the U.S. Supreme Court kept the abortion pill mifepristone available via telemedicine, and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced growing calls to resign from within his own Labour Party.
오늘 에피소드에는 외교와 정치 분야의 핵심 표현들이 많이 등장합니다. “put a hold on”(보류하다), “fall short”(기대에 미치지 못하다), “status quo”(현상 유지) 같은 표현들은 뉴스 영어에서 매우 자주 쓰입니다. 이런 표현들을 문맥과 함께 익혀 두면 실제 뉴스를 읽거나 들을 때 훨씬 이해가 빨라집니다.
President Trump starts home to Washington, claiming he made fantastic
deals with China.
But in talking about those deals, he seemed less certain
that they were complete. So what did a visit to China accomplish?
President Trump has left here after about 43 hours in China.
This has been an incredible
visit, and I think a lot of good has come of it. We’ve made some fantastic trade deals – great for both countries.
Trump said this at the compound
where China’s President Xi Jinping lives and works. Soon after Trump departed on Air Force One, he left questions about how real those deals actually are.
Well, we haven’t seen anything in writing yet, but administration officials and President Trump have been making the rounds,
doing interviews, and the picture is coming together. And yes, those three B’s are a big part of it — beans, beef, Boeing.
One thing he agreed to today – he’s going to order 200 jets. That’s a big thing – Boeing’s. Two hundred big ones. That’s a lot of jobs. Boeing wanted 150, got 200. He said sort of
– I think it was a commitment. I mean, you know, sort of like a statement, but I think it was a commitment.
I will note that equivocation
there. Even as the president was celebrating this deal, he didn’t sound totally solid on it. China has made purchase commitments
in the past only to fall short.
The bigger picture here, though, is that a year ago, there was a raging and destructive trade war between the two nations. Last fall, Trump and Xi got together and brought things to something of a truce, and this visit further stabilizes
that truce.
How did they talk about the war with Iran?
Both sides mentioned a discussion of the situation in the Middle East, though President Trump did go into more detail than the Chinese readout of the meeting. He said that he and President Xi had agreed that the Strait of Hormuz
should be open for navigation
and that Iran shouldn’t be charging a toll. He said they also agreed that Iran should never have a nuclear weapon. But it doesn’t appear that Trump has secured any commitments
from China to help pressure Iran.
Well, today,
