美总统在夏威夷火灾13天后到访,引发居民抗议:回家,拜登

星岛环球网报道,当地时间21日,夏威夷燃起野火13天后,美国总统拜登抵达毛伊岛巡视灾情。数十人聚集在拉海纳的街道上,观看拜登的车队蜿蜒穿过街道。一些居民对拜登竖起了中指,有人举着写了“不予置评”的标语牌,用拜登灾后回应媒体的原话讽刺他。还有人敦促拜登“倾听拉海纳人民的声音”,并向该岛提供更多援助。拜登上周曾多次拒绝对造成至少115人死亡的悲剧发表评论。

白宫批准向每户幸存者提供700美元(约合人民币5105元)的救济金,但即使是这样也受到了批评。据报道,相对于其他优先事项的支出而言,白宫的救济金显得过于吝啬,许多岛民认为这个金额是有侮辱性的。自去年俄罗斯对乌克兰展开特别军事行动以来,美国向乌克兰提供了1130亿美元(约合人民币8242亿元)的资金,拜登本月又请求提供206亿美元(约合人民币1502亿元)的资金。有居民举着一个牌子,上面将花在乌克兰的钱与送往夏威夷的援助进行对比——自2022年2月俄乌特别行动爆发以来,每个乌克兰人已经收到了超过1700美元(约合人民币12399元)。

拜登上周在密尔沃基举行的一场以经济为主题的演讲中,一度似乎忘记了“毛伊岛”这个名字,把这个岛称为“你经常在电视上看到的那个岛”。
