The White House has said it believes the American intelligence contractor Edward Snowden is still in Russia as he seeks to evade US extradition requests. Mr Snowden who leaked details of a massive US surveillance operation arrived in Moscow on Sunday and was expected to fly on to Cuba on Monday. The White House spokesman Jay Carney warned Russia the relations will be damaged if it does not hand over Mr Snowden.
白宫声称美国情报人员德华·斯诺登目前仍在俄罗斯,试图逃避美国的引渡请求。斯诺登泄露了大量美国监视行动信息。他上周日抵达莫斯科,并预计在周一飞往古巴。白宫发言人杰伊·卡尼警告俄罗斯如果不交出斯诺登,两国关系将会受到损坏。
"We are obviously in conversations and we are working with them, or discussing with them, and-- or rather expecting them to look at the options available to them, to expel Mr Snowden back to the United States to face justice for the crimes with which he is charged.”
“目前我们仍在对话中,我们会同他们进行合作商讨,或者更确切地说,希望他们看清目前摆在他们面前的一些选择,尽快遣返斯诺登,他应该被驱逐回美国为他所犯下的罪行接受审判。”
