摘要：US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the Secret Service was investigating what he described as "sabotage" at the United Nat
据环球网报道，当地时间9月24日，美国总统特朗普在其社交媒体“真实社交”上发文表示，联合国23日发生了三件“非常险恶”的事件。
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the Secret Service was investigating what he described as "sabotage" at the United Nations, alleging that an escalator malfunction, a teleprompter failure and sound problems disrupted his appearance at the world body a day earlier.
特朗普说，首先，通往主发言层的自动扶梯突然停了下来，如果他和夫人梅拉尼娅没有紧紧抓住扶手，“后果不堪设想”。特朗普说，这绝对是“蓄意破坏”。其次，提词器也在他发表演讲时坏了，大约15分钟后才恢复。此外，在演讲结束后，特朗普被告知，演讲厅里的音频也出现故障，除非世界各国领导人使用口译员的耳机，否则什么也听不到。
“不是一起，不是两起，而是三起非常险恶的事件！”特朗普写道，要求联合国立即展开调查。
Trump, in a post on his Truth Social platform, said an escalator carrying him and his wife Melania "came to a screeching halt" on the way to the main floor, nearly causing them to fall. He called for the arrest of whoever was responsible.
He also said his teleprompter went dark at the start of his speech and that world leaders in the hall could not hear him because the sound system had failed.
"Not one, not two, but three very sinister events!" Trump wrote.
联合国此前回应称，自动扶梯和提词器两起事故可能都是白宫团队成员无意中造成的。
UN officials have said the escalator's built-in safety mechanism had been triggered and that the teleprompter was operated by the White House, not the organization.
特朗普要求联合国立即展开调查
特朗普表示，这些事件并非巧合，他将把上述帖文的副本发送给联合国秘书长，并要求其立即展开调查。特朗普称，自动扶梯上的所有安全录像都应该保存下来，尤其是紧急停止按钮部分。此外，特勤局也已介入该事件。
白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特23日在社交媒体上发帖称：“如果联合国有人在总统和第一夫人踏上扶梯时故意关掉扶梯，就应该立即被解雇并接受调查。”她指的是英国《泰晤士报》周末刊登的一篇报道称，联合国工作人员曾开玩笑说，由于资金不足，应该关掉扶梯。
联合国正面临资金危机，自特朗普上任以来，美国一直拒绝为其常规预算提供经费。
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt vowed to get to the bottom of Tuesday's incident.
"If someone at the UN intentionally stopped the escalator as the President and First Lady were stepping on, they need to be fired and investigated immediately," she said in an X post.
当晚，莱维特在回答福克斯新闻的提问时引用了保守派新闻网站编辑凯蒂·帕夫利奇在社交媒体上发布的一篇帖子，帖子称特朗普演讲的音量比之前的演讲者要小。这一说法目前无法立即得到证实。
联合国秘书长回应
联合国官员没有立即就特朗普要求展开调查一事作出回应。此前，联合国秘书长发言人斯蒂芬·杜加里克向记者说明了自动扶梯故障的原因。
杜加里克表示，扶梯中央处理器的记录显示，因顶部梳状踏板上的内置安全装置被触发，扶梯才停止运转。当时，特朗普的摄像师正倒着走上扶梯，以拍摄他与第一夫人梅拉尼娅出场的画面，“摄像师可能无意间触发了这一安全功能。”他说。
UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said on Monday that a readout of the escalator's central processing unit indicated it "had stopped after a built-in safety mechanism on the comb step was triggered at the top of the escalator."
Dujarric said Trump's videographer had been traveling backward up the escalator to capture his arrival with the first lady. "The videographer may have inadvertently triggered the safety function," he said.
杜加里克拒绝谈论提词器的问题，他告诉记者：“我们不予置评，因为美国总统的提词器由白宫操作。”一名联合国官员23日也告诉路透社，是白宫操作了提词器。
