特朗普政府对俄罗斯的政策

The Trump Administration’s Policy towards Russia

特朗普赢得2016年总统选举,曾引发美国对俄罗斯政策是否会出现剧烈变化的猜测。特朗普谋求与俄罗斯缓和关系,以扭转因乌克兰危机而深陷泥潭的美俄对抗。然而,特朗普的胜选及其与俄罗斯缓和关系的意图遭到美国建制派的猛烈抨击和抵制。美国对俄政策不仅是美国政策制定者与俄罗斯的互动,更是美国政策制定者内部激烈博弈的结果。由于美国政治体制及国内政治斗争的影响,特朗普制定和实施对俄政策的总统权力受到国会及反俄势力强有力的束缚和规制。事实证明,特朗普政府的对俄政策并未出现逆转,而是延续了奥巴马执政后期对俄罗斯的对抗、遏制和威慑,并在一定程度上有所升级,导致美俄关系进一步恶化。尽管如此,美国并没有完全放弃对俄罗斯的接触。

Trump’s victory in the 2016 presidential election triggered speculation about whether the policy of America towards Russia would change dramatically.Trump sought to ease relations with Russia in order to reverse the U.S.-Russian confrontation mired in the Ukraine crisis.However,Trump’s victory and his intention to ease relations with Russia have been fiercely slammed and resisted by the American establishment.The U.S.policy toward Russia is not only the result of the interaction between U.S.policymakers and Russia,but also the result of fierce internal conflict among U.S.policymakers.As it turns out,the Trump administration’s policy towards Russia was not a reversal,but a continued confrontation,containment and deterrence against Russia of the late Obama administration.To some extent,it has escalated them,leading to further deterioration of the U.S.-Russian relations.Nevertheless,the United States has not completely abandoned its contact with Russia.
