川普稱美國將委內瑞拉移出毒品管制不力名單，可能也將哥倫比亞除名

波哥大9月16日（路透社）——美國總統川普週三在一份聲明中表示，美國已將委內瑞拉從「未能明顯打擊非法毒品販運」的國家名單中移除，這是20多年來首次。川普並補充說，他可能考慮將鄰國哥倫比亞也從名單中移除。BOGOTA, Sept 16 (Reuters) - The United States has removed Venezuela from its list of countries which have failed to demonstrably combat illegal drug trafficking for the first time in more than 20 years, U.S. President Donald Trump said in a statement on Wednesday, adding he may consider removing neigboring Colombia.

川普在美國國務院公布的總統裁定中表示，由於他的政府今年1月罷黜並逮捕委內瑞拉總統尼古拉斯・馬杜洛，且與該國由馬杜洛前副手黛爾茜・羅德里格斯（Delcy Rodriguez）領導的臨時政府合作，相關成果正逐漸顯現，包括擊斃阿拉瓜火車（Tren de Aragua）一名綽號「尼紐・格雷羅」（Niño Guerrero）的首腦。委內瑞拉自2005年以來一直被列在未能明顯履行禁毒義務的名單上。Because of his administration's ouster and arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January, cooperation with the country's interim government, led by Maduro's former deputy Delcy Rodriguez, is paying dividends, including in the killing of the Tren de Aragua leader known as 'Niño Guerrero', Trump said in the presidential determination published by the State Department. Venezuela has been on the failed list since 2005.

他說：「我已裁定，委內瑞拉不應再被認定為未能明顯履行其毒品管制承諾。我期待看到臨時政府在瓦解毒品恐怖主義團體、阻止毒品經由委內瑞拉販運方面，持續取得可衡量的進展。」"I have determined Venezuela should no longer be designated as having failed demonstrably to fulfill its drug control commitments. I expect to see continued, measurable progress from the interim government in dismantling narcoterrorist groups and stopping drug trafficking through Venezuela," he said.

川普補充說，在總統艾思普雷雅（Abelardo De La Espriella）當選後，「哥倫比亞準備恢復其作為我國在西半球首要安全夥伴的地位」。他說：「如果如預期般，哥倫比亞在未來一年積極剷除古柯並瓦解其毒品恐怖主義網絡方面取得進展，我將考慮解除該國『未能明顯履行』的狀態。」"Colombia is poised to resume its place as our foremost security partner in the hemisphere" after the election of President Abelardo De La Espriella, Trump added. "If, as expected, Colombia makes progress on aggressive coca eradication and dismantling its narcoterrorist networks over the coming year, I will consider lifting the country’s 'failed demonstrably' status."

去年，在川普與前左翼總統古斯塔沃・裴卓（Gustavo Petro）多次相互抨擊之際，川普認定哥倫比亞未能打擊古柯鹼生產。川普曾表態支持艾思普雷雅；艾思普雷雅曾擔任與右翼準軍事組織有關人士的律師，並於8月就職，承諾加強治安打擊。Colombia was designated last year by Trump for failing to combat cocaine production, amid repeated mud-slinging between him and former leftist President Gustavo Petro. Trump endorsed De La Espriella, a former lawyer for people connected to right-wing paramilitaries, who took office in August pledging a security crackdown.

美國仍認定這兩國為主要轉運樞紐或主要生產國；同列者還包括阿富汗、巴哈馬、貝里斯、玻利維亞、緬甸、中國、哥斯大黎加、多明尼加共和國、厄瓜多、薩爾瓦多、瓜地馬拉、海地、宏都拉斯、印度、牙買加、寮國、墨西哥、尼加拉瓜、巴基斯坦、巴拿馬和秘魯。Both countries are still considered by the U.S. to be major transit hubs or major producers, along with Afghanistan, the Bahamas, Belize, Bolivia, Burma, China, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Laos, Mexico, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Panama and Peru.
