https://reurl.cc/KEA4O9 President Trump wants FIFA President Gianni Infantino to be the next secretary -general of the United Nations, The Post has learned. 《纽约邮报》（The Post）获悉，美国总统Donald Trump希望FIFA主席 Gianni Infantin o 成为下一任联合国秘书长 Infantino, 56, grew close to Trump through organizing this year’s World Cup, with the Swiss-born soccer administrator bending over backward to charm and in clude Trump, even giving him FIFA’s inaugural Peace Prize in December. 56 岁的 Infantino 因筹办今年世界盃而与 Trump 关系日益密切。这位出生於瑞士的足 球行政主管极力拉拢并礼遇 Trump，甚至在去年 12 月向他颁发 FIFA 首届和平奖（FIFA Peace Prize）。 Trump believes that Infantino “is respected by everyone around the world, and recognizes he has a special ability to bring people together,” a source clos e to the president told The Post. 一位接近 Trump 的消息人士向《纽约邮报》表示，Trump 认为 Infantino「受到全世界 的尊敬，而且拥有凝聚各方、团结众人的特殊能力」。 The next secretary-general will be elected this year to replace the retiring A nt鏮io Guterres of Portugal, who will step down at the end of December. 下一任联合国秘书长将於今年选出，接替将於 12 月底卸任的葡萄牙籍秘书长 Ant鏮io G uterres。 To secure the position, Infantino would need to win the endorsement of the 15- member Security Council — where the five permanent members hold vetoes — fol lowed by confirmation by the General Assembly. 若要出任联合国秘书长，Infantino 必须先获得由 15 个成员组成的联合国安全理事会支 持（其中 5 个常任理事国拥有否决权），之後再由联合国大会正式确认任命。 It’s unclear if Infantino wants the job and to what extent Trump has discusse d the topic with him. 目前尚不清楚 Infantino 是否有意角逐这项职位，也不清楚 Trump 是否已与他深入讨论 过此事。 But Trump senses a clear opening among a field that one insider described as s even “lame” candidates. 不过Trump 认为这次选举存在明显机会。一位知情人士形容，目前有意角逐的七位候选人 都「缺乏竞争力」。 The best-known contenders include Chile’s socialist former president Michelle Bachelet, who could face US resistance, and Argentina’s Rafael Grossi, the c urrent director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, who could f ace concerns from the UK over the disputed Falkland Islands. 目前较知名的候选人包括智利前总统、社会主义政治人物 Michelle Bachelet，她可能遭 到美国反对；以及阿根廷籍、现任国际原子能总署（IAEA）总干事 Rafael Grossi，他则 可能因福克兰群岛（马尔维纳斯群岛）主权争议而遭英国反对。 Trump’s concept would upend the anticipated selection of a candidate from Lat in America or the Caribbean — a region last repped by secretary-general Javie r P廨ez de Cu幨lar of Peru between 1982 and 1991. Trump 的构想将打破外界普遍预期由拉丁美洲或加勒比海地区推出候选人的惯例。该地区 上一次出任联合国秘书长，已是 1982 至 1991 年秘鲁籍的 Javier Perez de Cuellar But multiple sources say that soft geographic rotation would not necessarily b lock Infantino and that it’s possible he could pick up multiple nominations i n addition to Trump’s. 不过多位消息人士表示，这种非正式的区域轮替惯例未必会阻碍 Infantino，而且除了 T rump 之外，他还有可能获得多个国家的提名支持。 Trump and Infantino, pictured Sunday at the World Cup final, grew close during the soccer championship. Trump 与 Infantino 在本届世界盃期间建立了密切关系，两人也一同出席了周日的世界 盃决赛 Infantino regularly appeared with Trump, including bringing golden trophies to the White House and even bestowing upon Trump FIFA’s first peace prize after repeated Nobel snubs. Infantino 多次与 Trump 公开同框，包括将金色世界盃奖盃带到白宫，甚至在 Trump 多 次与诺贝尔和平奖擦身而过後，向他颁发 FIFA 首届和平奖。 Paolo Zampolli, the Italian-American businessman and diplomat serving as Trump ’s special envoy for global partnerships, told The Post that “only President Trump could have such a genius idea.” 身兼商人与外交官、目前担任 Trump 全球夥伴关系特使的义裔美国人 Paolo Zampolli 向《纽约邮报》表示：「只有 Trump 总统才想得出这麽天才的点子。」 Zampolli said Infantino “would do a great job” and is “liked by everybody” — describing him as potentially bringing fresh energy to the massive bureauc racy and using sports to build new bridges and inspire the world’s young and poor populations. Zampolli 表示，Infantino「一定能胜任这份工作」，而且「受到所有人的喜爱」。他认 为，Infantino 能为庞大的联合国官僚体系注入新活力，并透过体育搭起新的桥梁，激励 全球年轻人以及贫困人口。 “There is some similarity” between the roles of FIFA president and UN secret ary-general, said Zampolli, a personal friend of Infantino’s and a former amb assador to the UN for the small island nation of Dominica. Infantino 的好友、曾任多米尼克联合国大使的 Zampolli 表示：「FIFA 主席与联合国 秘书长这两个职位，其实有一些相似之处。」 “At the United Nations, you have to deal with 193 member states. In FIFA, the re are over 200 members [and] Gianni’s great record shows he knows how to man age.” 他说：「联合国需要与 193 个会员国打交道，而 FIFA 则有超过 200 个会员协会。Gian ni 过去的优秀表现已经证明，他知道如何管理这样的大型国际组织。」 Zampolli spent time with Infantino at last weekend’s World Cup final in New J ersey but said they did not discuss the concept and was surprised to learn of it from The Post. Zampolli 表示，他上周末曾在纽泽西世界盃决赛现场与 Infantino 相处一段时间，但两 人并未讨论这项构想，因此他也是透过《纽约邮报》才得知此事，感到相当意外。 Trump has fumed about what he views as the UN’s inactivity in mediating major world conflicts and last year created a new US-led Board of Peace that drew s peculation he was setting up a rival organization — as he brokered peace deal s, including between Israel and Hamas — though Trump denied it and said he ho pes the UN will take a more active role. Trump 一直批评联合国在调停重大国际冲突上的作为过於消极。他去年成立了一个由美国 主导的「和平委员会（Board of Peace）」，引发外界猜测他打算建立一个与联合国抗衡 的新组织。当时他正协助斡旋包括以色列与哈玛斯在内的和平协议。不过 Trump 否认这 项说法，并表示希望联合国能扮演更积极的角色。 Since reentering the White House last year, Trump has slashed US contributions to the UN and withdrawn from many of its sub-organizations, including the Wor ld Health Organization, UNESCO and the UN Human Rights Council. 自去年重返白宫後，Trump 大幅削减美国对联合国的资助，并退出多个联合国旗下机构， 包括世界卫生组织（WHO）、联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）及联合国人权理事会（UNHRC） 。 Installing Infantino could improve Trump’s relationship with the UN. 若 Infantino 出任联合国秘书长，可能有助於改善 Trump 与联合国之间的关系。 However, if the president is successful, it would come with a steep pay cut fo r Infantino, who earns about $6 million a year at FIFA. 不过如果真的成功，Infantino 将面临大幅减薪。目前他在 FIFA 的年薪约为 600 万美 元。 The secretary-general’s recently reported compensation amounted to about $418 ,000. 根据近期资料，联合国秘书长的年薪约为 41.8 万美元。 Infantino has declared his candidacy for re-election as FIFA president. That s election process occurs next March. Infantino 已宣布将竞选连任 FIFA 主席，相关选举将於明年 3 月举行。 He did not immediately respond to The Post’s emailed request for comment abou t the UN opening. 截至报导刊出时，Infantino 尚未回覆《纽约邮报》有关联合国秘书长一职的置评请求。 --
