阿富汗总统阿什拉夫·加尼(Ashraf Ghani)周一正式要求美国政府“澄清”,此前唐纳德·特朗普总统表示,他可以在一周或10天内结束该国的冲突,杀死1000万人,将该国“从地球上抹去”
加尼的办公室称:“阿富汗国家过去没有,将来也不会允许任何外国势力决定自己的命运。”在一份官方声明中说周二发布。“我们与世界各国,特别是与美国的合作和伙伴关系建立在共同利益和相互尊重的基础上。尽管阿富汗政府支持美国确保阿富汗和平的努力,但政府强调,没有阿富汗领导人,外国国家元首无法决定阿富汗的命运。”
声明继续呼吁对特朗普的言论进行“澄清”,特朗普的言论是在与巴基斯坦总理伊姆兰·汗会晤后发表的。

周一会谈后,特朗普接受了白宫记者的提问。总统在回应一名记者时坚称,他有计划在一周或十天内结束阿富汗战争。阿富汗战争始于2001年。
“我可以在一周内赢得这场战争。我只是不想杀死一千万人,”特朗普说。“我对阿富汗有计划,如果我想赢得这场战争,阿富汗将从地球上消失,它将不复存在。确切地说,10天后就结束了。我不想走那条路。”
总统阐述的更广泛的观点是,他想“摆脱”或从冲突中撤出美国。他说,他正在与巴基斯坦进行会谈,以帮助确保该国的和平,这是一项让美国更容易离开阿富汗的计划的一部分。
“基本上我们现在是警察,”特朗普说。“我们不应该是警察。我们在阿富汗已经呆了19年了。这太荒谬了。”
汗告诉记者,他的谈判代表即将完成与塔利班的和平协议,美国和阿富汗政府一直在冲突中进行战斗。
巴基斯坦总理说:“我们希望在未来几天里,我们能够敦促塔利班与阿富汗政府对话,达成一项解决方案,一项政治解决方案。”说。
特朗普去年削减了数亿对巴基斯坦的军事援助,说国家提供“除了谎言和欺骗什么都没有”作为对援助的回报。但周一,奥巴马总统表示,这一决定可能会被推翻,这取决于谈判的进展情况。
AFGHANISTAN'S PRESIDENT ASKS FOR 'CLARIFICATION' AFTER TRUMP SAYS HE COULD END WAR IN A WEEK BY KILLING 10 MILLION PEOPLE
Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani has officially asked for "clarification" from the United States government after President Donald Trump said on Monday that he could end the conflict in the country in a week or 10 days by killing 10 million people and wiping the country "off the face of the earth."
"The Afghan nation has not and will never allow any foreign power to determine its fate," Ghani's office said in an official statement released on Tuesday. "Our cooperation and partnership with the world countries, particularly with the United States, is grounded on common interests and mutual respect. While the Afghan government supports the US efforts for ensuring peace in Afghanistan, the government underscores that foreign heads of state cannot determine Afghanistan's fate in absence of the Afghan leadership."
The statement went on to call for "clarification" of Trump's remarks, which were made following a meeting with Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan.

After the Monday talks, Trump took questions from reporters at the White House. Responding to one journalist, the president insisted that he had plans that could end the Afghanistan War, which the U.S. started in 2001, within a week or 10 days.
"I could win that war in a week. I just don't want to kill 10 million people," Trump said. "I have plans on Afghanistan that if I wanted to win that war, Afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the earth, it would be gone. It would be over in, literally, in 10 days. And I don't want to go that route."
The president's broader point, which he expounded on, was that he wants to "extricate" or withdraw the U.S. from the conflict. He said he was talking with Pakistan to assist in ensuring peace within the country, as part of a plan that would make it easier for the U.S. to leave Afghanistan.
"Basically we're policemen right now," Trump said. "And we're not supposed to be policemen. We've been there for 19 years, in Afghanistan. It's ridiculous."
Khan told reporters that his negotiators were close to completing a peace agreement with the Taliban, which the U.S. and the Afghan government have been fighting in the conflict.
"We hope that in the coming days we will be able to urge the Taliban to speak to the Afghan government and come to a settlement, a political solution," the Pakistani prime minister said.
Trump last year cut hundreds of millions in military aid to Pakistan, saying the country offered "nothing but lies & deceit" in return for the assistance. But on Monday, the president said that decision could be reversed depending on how negotiations move forward.
