比利时弗拉芒大区政府首席大臣马蒂亚斯·迪彭代勒在接受新华社记者采访时说，特朗普的言论中只有 声称不入侵格陵兰岛"算个好信号"，他还批评特朗普的政策"缺乏逻辑"。 特朗普21日在世界经济论坛年会发表演讲，抨击欧洲的移民、绿色能源等政策，称欧洲"没有走在正确 方向上"，一些地方如今"面目全非"，这种变化"并非积极意义上的"，而是朝着负面方向演变。谈及格 陵兰岛，特朗普再次为寻求得到该岛辩解，称这是美国"核心国家安全利益"。他同时称"我没有必 要""不愿意"也"不会"动用武力夺取这一丹麦自治领地，美国正寻求"立即"就"收购"格陵兰岛展开谈判。 欧洲绿党联合主席武拉·采齐呼吁欧洲各国领导人"团结一致，抵制特朗普对格陵兰岛问题的霸凌行 径"。采齐表示，特朗普坚称自己将"夺取"格陵兰岛，这暴露出危险的民族主义倾向，使美国朝着"伴有 国内压迫和公开帝国主义意图的国家模式"发展。 （文章来源：新华社） 新华财经瑞士达沃斯1月22日电综合新华社驻外记者报道：美国总统特朗普21日在瑞士达沃斯举行的世 界经济论坛年会发表演讲，其言论引发多方批评和质疑，其外交政策"或持续冲击世界秩序"。 印度INOXGFL集团执行董事德万什·贾殷对 ...

特朗普彻底放下了遮掩，公开表示他不再遵守国际法，选择以极为直接的方式摊牌，锁定了四个目标，甚至不惜在国际上制造纷争，同时对美国国内也开始 出手。对于特朗普如此频繁的行动，人们不禁要问，他真正的目的究竟是什么？近日，在接受媒体专访时，特朗普毫不掩饰地说：我不需要国际法，只有道 德才能约束我。然而，这句话背后藏着更多的含义，特朗普不仅公开否定国际法，甚至对美国的国内法律，包括宪法，都未曾放在眼里。从他的这一举动来 看，特朗普似乎已经放弃了维护国际秩序的责任，而是在推动美国从一个共和国逐步转变为一个帝国，这意味着未来可能充满更多的纷争与混乱。 在明确锁定多个目标后，特朗普的下一步动向引发了广泛猜测。有分析认为，格陵兰岛成为了特朗普最有可能的目标。由于欧洲国家在许多事务上几乎无法 形成统一立场，特朗普对格陵兰岛的强硬姿态得以轻松推进。更重要的是，欧洲国家在军事安全方面极度依赖美国的北约体系，这使得特朗普在面对欧洲 时，几乎可以肆无忌惮地行动。所以，无论欧洲怎么反应，特朗普是否动手，关键还是看他自己如何决定。 至于伊朗，虽然局势动荡，特朗普如果直接采取军事行动，依然面临巨大的风险。因为若美国发动战争，伊朗完全有可能转化 ...
