Top Trump administration officials mistakenly texted war plans to a group that included a journalist, the White House said on Monday, in a misstep that has drawn swift condemnation by Democratic lawmakers.
白宫方面周一表示,特朗普政府高级官员误将战争计划发到了包含一名记者在内的一个群聊当中,而这一失误也迅速招致了民主党议员的谴责。
The editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, said in a report on Monday that on March 13 he was unexpectedly invited on to an encrypted group chat on Signal messenger called the "Houthi PC small group."
《大西洋月刊》主编杰弗里·戈德堡周一在一篇报道中表示,3月13日,他意外地被邀请加入信息平台Signal上一个名为“胡塞PC小组”的加密群聊。
Messages in the group made Goldberg aware that large-scale U.S. strikes on Yemen's Houthi rebels were coming hours before they started.
而该群聊内的信息,也让戈德堡提前几个小时知道了美国将对也门胡塞叛军进行大规模打击。
The strikes, over Houthi attacks against Red Sea shipping, came on March 15.
而针对胡塞武装袭击红海船只的空袭,于3月15日展开。
Before they began, Goldberg said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted operational details about the plan in the group, including, quote, "information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing."
戈德堡说,在行动开始之前,国防部长皮特·海格塞斯在该群聊发布了有关该计划的行动细节,包括“有关目标、美国将部署的武器和攻击顺序的信息”。

The chat also included accounts that appeared to represent Vice President JD Vance, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and others.
群聊中还包括显示是副总统JD万斯、美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥、中央情报局局长约翰·拉特克利夫等人的账号。
At one point the person identified as Vance appeared to question whether U.S. allies in Europe, more exposed to shipping disruption in the Red Sea, deserved U.S. help.
其中显示为万斯的账号,曾一度质疑美国在欧洲的盟友是否值得美国的帮助,因为这些盟友更容易受到红海航运中断的影响。
A person identified as Hegseth replied: "VP: I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It's PATHETIC."
而被认为是海格塞斯的账号回复称:“副总统:我完全理解你对欧洲“搭便车”的厌恶。确实很差劲。”
White House National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes said the chat appeared to be authentic, and that the NSC was reviewing how a quote 'inadvertent number' had been added.
白宫国家安全委员会发言人布莱恩·休斯表示,群内的对话似乎是真实的,国家安全委员会正在审查一个号码是如何被无意中添加进群的。
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democratic lawmakers have called the use of the Signal group illegal and demanded an investigation.
参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默和其他民主党议员称使用Signal群聊是非法的,并要求进行调查。
"I don't know anything about it."
“我什么都不知道。”
Trump told reporters at the White House Monday that he was unaware of the group chat incident.
特朗普周一在白宫接受记者采访时表示,关于群聊事件,他并不知情。
