Biden postpones trip to Colorado as Israel-Hamas conflict intensifies_我的网站

一 |     当地时间12月14日，俄执政党“统俄党”召开第22届党代会。    WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden postponed a trip to Colorado on Monday to stay in Washington and focus on the growing conflict in the Middle East, setting aside an opportunity to pitch his economic accomplishments as he runs for reelection.Biden had been heading to the district of Rep. Lauren Boebert, where he was to visit CS Wind, the world's largest facility for wind tower manufacturing. But the White House said just a few hours before Biden was set to take off for the trip that it would be rescheduled. Instead, Biden is expected to hold a series of high-level meetings with aides on Israel and the growing humanitarian concerns in Gaza. The Democratic president is weighing a decision to visit the region in what would be a striking symbol of support for Israel following the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that killed more than 1,400 Israelis. More than 2,300 Palestinians have died in the ensuing Israeli bombardment of Gaza, which is bracing for a ground invasion. At least 30 U.S. citizens have also died, and 13 remain missing, the State Department says.It’s rare for presidential travel, which is meticulously planned for security and logistical purposes, to be called off at the last minute. Biden's decision reflects the competing pressure that he faces as he tries to manage bloody conflicts in Ukraine, where the Russian invasion is in its second year, and now the Middle East, always one of the world's most combustible regions. There are concerns that a second front could open in Israel's north, which neighbors the Hezbollah-controlled territory in Lebanon's south. There have already been reports of sporadic fighting along the border. Iran backs both Hamas and Hezbollah. Two U.S. aircraft carrier strike groups have been dispatched to the Eastern Mediterranean in an effort to deter a widening war.Domestic and foreign policy priorities have collided for Biden before.He was scheduled to visit Papua New Guinea and Australia after attending the Group of Seven meeting in Japan earlier this year, but the two stops were scrubbed because of the standoff over the debt ceiling back in Washington. Rather than deepening ties with countries in the Indo-Pacific region, Biden jetted home to hash out a deal with Republicans to prevent a first-ever default. The change in Monday's schedule costs Biden a chance to turn Boebert into a political foil as he showcases the Inflation Reduction Act, his signature domestic legislation and the source of hundreds of billions of dollars for clean energy incentives.Boebert has called the law “a massive failure” that “needs to be repealed.” But Biden was planning to demonstrate otherwise when he visits CS Wind in the town of Pueblo. The company is undergoing a $200 million expansion that is expected to create 850 jobs by 2026 with help from the tax benefits in the law.Pueblo is one of the anchors of Colorado's sprawling 3rd Congressional District, which covers more ground than Pennsylvania. Boebert won her seat in 2020 and barely held on to it during the 2022 midterms. There's maximum chaos in Congress right now for House Republicans, who ousted Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California as their speaker but have been unable to settle on a replacement. Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, a prominent ally of Donald Trump, is the current leading candidate to replace McCarthy, but victory for him is uncertain. Despite low unemployment and slowing inflation, Biden has been struggling to convince Americans that his policies are good for the U.S. economy.An August poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research said just 36% of U.S. adults approve of Biden's handling of the economy, roughly where his numbers have stood for a year and a half. The president and other top administration officials have been traveling the country to promote their Investing in America agenda. Last week, the president visited a marine terminal in Philadelphia, where he announced that the area would become one of seven regional hubs for producing and delivering hydrogen fuel.“I truly believe this country is about to take off," Biden said. "For the first time in a long time we’re actually investing in America.”。俄总统普京出席并发表了纲领性讲话，主旨自然离不开当下的俄乌战争。他特别感谢“统俄党”对特别军事行动的支持，宣布启动第二轮“英雄时代”干部培训计划，并号召全体党员精诚团结，以人为本，为国家的稳固和强大作出贡献。         普京指出，自对乌特别军事行动展开的第一天起，“统俄党”便全力为前线战士提供全方位的支持，包括建立配套的法律和社会保障体系，协助恢复重建解放区，培训和安置退伍军人，帮助他们在社会和政治生活中实现自我发展。很多联邦和州市级别的“统俄党”议员以身作则，带头奔赴前线，这一勇敢无畏的壮举，值得尊重。         “‘不抛弃自己人’，这一原则，这句崇高的呼吁，是我们每个人都能理解并感同身受的。因为团结一心，将俄罗斯视为自己的神圣家园，视为一个大家庭，这正是我们伟大的价值观。”          值得一提的是，普京于2022年2月宣布对乌发动特别军事行动，打出的旗号正是“不抛弃自己人”，要将顿巴斯地区的俄语居民从基辅纳粹政权手中“解放”出来。再往前追溯，2014年的克里米亚危机，2008年的俄格战争，“拯救当地俄语居民”，也是俄罗斯出兵的“道义”理据。         当然，普京在“统俄党”会议上再提“不抛弃自己人”的口号，有着更深一层的含义，那就是呼吁全体党员和全体国民在特殊时期团结一致，互相扶持，共克时艰。         普京指示，要特别重视今年启动的“英雄时代”干部培训计划，为那些在前线和后方表现出色的当代英雄创造条件，让他们进入国家和地方的领导岗位，承担重要职责。         普京还强调了以人为本，听取民意，联系群众的重要性。“每一步都要以民众的意见为准，不论是幼儿园还是高速公路的建设。”领导层与民众的直接沟通是建立信任的关键：“没有任何抽象统计数据能代替与民众的直接且真诚的对话。”          大会对“统俄党”最高委员会进行了改组，一大批荣获“俄罗斯英雄”称号的参战者进入了党的领导层。         俄罗斯前总统、“统俄党”主席梅德韦杰夫也在“统俄党”会议上做了主旨发言，他表示，除乌东四地之外，不排除未来还会有新地区并入俄罗斯版图。
