杜特爾特：我會告訴川普人權“免談”
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said Wednesday that if U.S. President Donald Trump brings up human rights when they meet later this week, he'd tell the American leader to "lay off."
"You want to ask a question, I'll give you an answer. Lay off," Duterte told reporters as he left for an Asia-Pacific conference in Vietnam, where he will see Trump before they also meet again next week in Manila. "That is not your business. That is my business. I take care of my country and I will nurture my country to health."
Duterte has been adamant in defending his country's human rights record and war on drug users, a campaign in which 3,900 Filipinos have been killed in what police say is self-defense after armed suspects have resisted arrest.
Critics, including the administration of former U.S. President Barack Obama, say the killings have been extrajudicial with no accountability, allegations the police have rejected.
Duterte was infuriated by the criticism from the United States, a long-time ally, and last year, before Trump's election, called for a military and economic "separation" from the U.S. In the future, he said, the Philippines would align with Russia and China "against the world."
Duterte, however, later eased off the criticism of Washington, saying he was only talking about "separation of foreign policy" and not diminished economic links between the two countries.
The White House has said that Trump could raise human rights questions with Duterte; but, a senior administration official briefing reporters last week about Trump's Asia trip said the two leaders had developed "a warm rapport."
The official said Trump is "very much looking forward to his first meeting with President Duterte."
菲律賓總統杜特爾特星期三說，如果美國總統川普本星期晚些時候和他見面的時候提人權問題，他會告訴這位美國領導人“打住”。
杜特爾特起身前往越南參加亞太會議之際對記者說，“你如果想問一個問題，我會給你答復：打住。這不關你的事，這是我的事。我在管理我的國家，會管得好。” 杜特爾特將在越南和川普見面，然后下星期還要在馬尼拉會晤。
杜特爾特一直極力為菲律賓的人權記錄和禁毒戰爭辯護。已經有3千9百人在禁毒運動中死亡。警方說， 這些死亡是嫌疑人拒捕時警方自衛造成的。
包括前總統奧巴馬的政府在內的批評人士說，這些殺戮屬于法外行刑，缺少問責。警方否認這種說法。
杜特爾特因為美國的這些批評而惱怒。去年在川普當選之前，杜特爾特宣稱要在軍事上和經濟上同美國“分道揚鑣”。他說，菲律賓以后要和俄羅斯及中國結盟，“對抗全世界”。
不過，杜特爾特后來緩和了對美國的批評，聲稱他所說的分道揚鑣只是“在外交政策上分離”，并不是要減少兩國的經濟聯系。
白宮官員表示，川普可能向杜特爾特提出人權問題。另一方面，美國政府一名高級官員上星期對記者談到川普亞洲之行的時候說，川普和杜特爾特建立了“友好的關系”。
這位官員說，川普“非常期待同杜特爾特總統的第一次會晤”。
