U.S. Defense Secretary May Miss Next Month's NATO Defense Ministers Meeting
报告内容

当地时间1月29日，有消息称美国国防部长赫格塞思预计不会出席下个月在布鲁塞尔举行的北约国防部长会议。
消息未提及赫格塞思不出席此次北约防长会的原因。目前美国国防部和北约方面对此事均不予置评。若赫格塞思确定不出席北约防长会，这将是美国特朗普政府高级官员近期连续第二次缺席北约部长级会议。去年12月，美国国务卿鲁比奥缺席了当时举行的北约外长会议。
分析称或加深盟友对美履行北约承诺的担忧
美国特朗普政府近期与北约及部分成员国关系紧张，这种紧张关系最近的一个例子是美国声称希望得到北约成员国之一、丹麦的自治领地格陵兰岛。
北约前发言人瓦娜·伦杰斯库称，如若赫格塞思确认不出席北约防长会，此举将在跨大西洋关系紧张之际释放负面信号，并可能加深盟友对美国履行北约承诺的担忧。（央视记者 朱磊）
