唐纳德·特朗普总统周三在白宫与土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安举行的联合新闻发布会上建议，欧洲应该支付更多支持叙利亚难民的费用。
奥巴马发表上述言论之前，土耳其领导人举行了一次紧急会议，旨在解决人们对叙利亚政策和安卡拉购买俄罗斯S-400导弹防御系统的分歧日益加剧的担忧。
虽然一些人曾预计两位世界领导人会发生重大对抗，但特朗普退出了会谈宣称自己是埃尔多安的“大粉丝”。
他还抱怨说，“截至目前”，土耳其一直在“支付”支持叙利亚难民的大部分费用。
“坦率地说，我认为欧洲应该在很大程度上为此付出代价，”这位美国领导人说。“到目前为止，土耳其已经支付了大部分费用。我想总统[·埃尔多安]今天说他们已经为此花费了400多亿美元。”
特朗普在与埃尔多安和记者确认成本约为400亿美元后表示:“不管怎样，他们已经花了很多钱。”
特朗普说:“欧洲已经捐助了大约300万美元。”。“很多这样的人会去整个欧洲，然后对欧洲来说这将是一个灾难性的局面。”
尽管特朗普似乎向欧洲施压，要求其采取更多措施支持流离失所的叙利亚人，但这位美国领导人的评论是在美国10月份难民零接纳创纪录之后发表的。
世界救济组织称，过去五个财政年度，10月份重新安置的难民平均人数为4945人。
上个月的创纪录低点是由于美国暂停了难民入境，因为美国希望在2020财年接纳的难民人数是自美国难民入境计划启动以来最少的。
在本月早些时候发布的一份声明世界救济组织主席斯科特·阿尔比特尔指责特朗普放弃对“我们作为一个国家为之做出贡献的情景”的责任
“从叙利亚撤军意味着在该地区制造混乱，迫使更多人逃离家园，”阿尔贝特尔断言。
“这不仅仅令人心碎——这是不公正的，”他说，并敦促特朗普政府“重新考虑其做法，并设定一个更好地代表美国人民同情心和好客的上限。”
TRUMP SAYS EUROPE SHOULD PAY MORE TO COVER COSTS OF SUPPORTING REFUGEES AFTER LETTING ZERO REFUGEES INTO U.S. LAST MONTH
Europe should be paying more to cover the costs of supporting Syrian refugees, President Donald Trump suggested on Wednesday, during a joint White House news conference with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The president's comments came following an urgent meeting with Turkey's leadership aimed at addressing mounting concerns over discord on Syria policy and Ankara's purchase of Russia's S-400 missile defence system.
While some had expected a major confrontation between the two world leaders, Trump came away from the talks declaring himself a "big fan" of Erdogan.
He also complained that "as of this moment" Turkey has been "paying for most" of the costs of supporting Syrian refugees.
"I think that, frankly, Europe should be paying for this to a large extent," the U.S. leader said. "As of this moment, Turkey's been paying for most of it. I think the president [Erdogan] was saying today they've spent over $40 billion on the cost of that."
After confirming with Erdogan and reporters that the cost was around $40 billion, Trump said: "Whatever, they've spent a lot."
"Europe has contributed about $3 million," Trump said. "And a lot of these people would go all throughout Europe and then it would be a devastating situation for Europe."
While Trump appeared to put pressure on Europe to do more to support displaced Syrians, the U.S. leader's comments come after the U.S. saw a record-breaking zero admissions for refugees in the month of October.
Over the past five fiscal years, the average number for refugees resettled in October has been 4,945, World Relief has said.
Lat month's record-breaking low was due to a pause on admissions, as the U.S. looks to admit the smallest number of refugees into the country in Fiscal Year 2020 since the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program was started.
In a statement released earlier this month World Relief President Scott Arbeiter accused Trump of abdicating responsibility "for a scenario to which we as a nation have contributed."
"Withdrawing our troops from Syria meant unleashing chaos in the region and forcing even more people to flee their homes," Arbeiter asserted.
"This isn't just heartbreaking—it's unjust," he said, urging the Trump administration to "reconsider its approach and set a cap that better represents the compassion and hospitality of the American people."
