孤立古巴的50年未能推进这一地区的民主进程,反而削弱了我们在拉丁美洲的影响力。这就是为什么我们要恢复与古巴的外交关系,开启旅游和经商之门,帮助改善古巴人民的生活。你们想要巩固我们在南半球的领导力和可信度?那么就承认冷战已经结束,解除禁运吧。
American leadership in the 21st century is not a choice between ignoring the rest of the world – except when we kill terrorists; or occupying and rebuilding whatever society is unraveling. Leadership means a wise application of military power, and rallying the world behind causes that are right. It means seeing our foreign assistance as part of our national security, not charity. When we lead nearly 200 nations to the most ambitious agreement in history to fight climate change – that helps vulnerable countries, but it also protects our children. When we help Ukraine defend its democracy, or Colombia resolve a decades-long war, that strengthens the international order we depend upon. When we help African countries feed their people and care for the sick, that prevents the next pandemic from reaching our shores. Right now, we are on track to end the scourge of HIV/AIDS, and we have the capacity to accomplish the same thing with malaria – something I'll be pushing this Congress to fund this year.
21世纪,美国体现领导力的方式并非只有下面两个选择:除了打击恐怖主义,再不关心其他世界事务;抑或,占领和重建每个正在土崩瓦解的社会。领导力意味着明智地运用武力,团结全世界的力量实现伟大目标。它意味着将海外援助视为国家安全的一部分,而非施舍。当我们领导近200个国家签署史上最具雄心的气候协议时,不仅帮助了易受气候变化影响的国家,也在造福我们的后代。我们协助乌克兰捍卫民主,我们帮助哥伦比亚结束长达十年的战争——这同时也巩固了我们赖以发展的国际秩序。当我们帮非洲国家解决饥荒、抗击病疫时,我们也防止了下一场大规模疫情危及美国。目前,我们正努力消除艾滋病带来的危害,我们也有能力消灭疟疾——这也是今年我会督促本届国会资助的项目。
