放牛班的春天

5月11日，美国前总统与共和党总统候选人特朗普明确表示，前共和党总统候选人尼基·黑利不在他的竞选伙伴--副总统候选名单上。这平息了有关他的竞选团队一直在考虑将黑利作为一个选项的传言。    “The incident took place within Ethiopian territory after incursions by a Sudanese regular army unit supported by elements of the terrorist TPLF,” the Ethiopian Foreign Ministry said in a Monday press release, referring to the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) armed group that controls the northern Tigray province.,“The Ethiopian Government regrets the loss of life as a result of a skirmish between the Sudanese army and a local militia of which an investigation would be carried out soon,” the ministry said, adding that it “categorically rejects the misrepresentation of these facts by the Sudanese defense forces that unjustly put the blame on Ethiopia while it was the Sudanese army unit that has crossed into the Ethiopian border provoking the incident.”,“The Government of Ethiopia believes that the incident was deliberately concocted to undermine the deep-rooted relations between the peoples of Ethiopia and the Sudan. On top of that, the incident was designed to destruct Ethiopia from its path of peace and development,” the ministry added.,Sudan Recalling Ambassador to Ethiopia After Deaths of Seven Soldiers18:02 GMT,A day prior, Sudan’s ruling armed forces, which seized power from the civilian leadership of the provisional government last October, accused the Ethiopian Army of an “execution of seven Sudanese soldiers and a citizen who were prisoners of war.”,“[T]his treacherous situation will not pass without a response,” the Sudanese Army said, vowing it would “respond to this cowardly behavior.”,On Monday, Sudan’s acting foreign minister, Ali Al-Sadiq Ali, summoned the Ethiopian ambassador demanding answers and recalled Sudan’s ambassador in Addis Ababa.,The clash reportedly occurred in the vicinity of Al-Fashaga, an area of rich farmland in Sudan that abuts the border with Ethiopia and Eritrea. Addis and Khartoum have long feuded over control of the area, but reached a compromise in 2008 that allowed Ethiopian farmers to work the land under Sudanese administration. However, after the TPLF rebelled against the Ethiopian government in November 2020, Sudanese forces re-occupied the area, reigniting the dispute.,Sudan-Ethiopia border Al-FashaqaSudan-Ethiopia border Al-Fashaqa,It also comes amid an ongoing refugee problem in Sudan, where the UN Refugee Agency has recorded more than 73,000 Ethiopians who have fled the fighting in Tigray, and a heated dispute between Ethiopia and downstream nations like Sudan and Egypt over the filling of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Blue Nile.。

“尼基·黑利没有被考虑担任副总统，但我祝她一切顺利！”这位已经稳获美国共和党总统候选人提名的前总统在一篇发布在Truth Social网站上的帖子中写道，他的署名是“DJT”。这是他名下的上市公司的股票代码。

在特朗普发表上述评论的几个小时前，美国媒体援引两位匿名消息人士的话报道称，黑利参与了特朗普竞选团队的副总统人选对话。此后又有多家美国媒体进行了后续报道。

一些媒体人士分析认为，特朗普和黑利成为可能的竞选搭档，背后的政治考量显而易见。

此外，尚未公开宣布支持特朗普的海莉，可能有助于特朗普赢得共和党内对他持怀疑态度的选民。自从黑利退出共和党内的竞选以来，民主党人、拜登总统的竞选团队一直在争取这些选民。

黑利早在今年3月就暂停了她的总统竞选活动，但她仍在不断获得党内选票，包括在本周四（5月9日）的印第安纳州共和党初选中，她赢得了近22%的党内选票。

尽管有明显的政治优势，但特朗普和黑利在共和党初选期间的激烈斗争排除了她当选副总统的可能性。

“她不是当总统的材料，”特朗普今年1月在新汉普郡的竞选集会上谈到黑利时说。“现在，当我这么说时，这可能意味着她不会被选为副总统搭档。”

在过去的几周里，特朗普的副总统人选得到了更多的关注，其中包括能够为特朗普带来高额政治捐款的人选，比如：纽约州共和党众议员埃莉斯·斯特凡尼克，前共和党总统候选人南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员蒂姆·斯科特，佛罗里达州共和党参议员马尔科·卢比奥，以及北达科他州州长道格·伯古姆。

目前，南达科他州州长克里斯蒂·诺姆（女）似乎是副总统候选人的领跑者，但由于她的新回忆录遭到强烈反对，她的胜算似乎有所下降。这本回忆录包含了她枪杀几只农场宠物的轶事，以及一个未经证实的与朝鲜半岛领导人金同志会面的故事。

周二，特朗普在接受威斯康星州电视新闻采访时说：我非常喜欢她（克里斯蒂·诺姆），但我不想对名单上的任何人发表评论。
