特朗普給西班牙移民危機提建議 在撒哈拉沙漠建一堵牆!

President Trump recommended building a wall across the Sahara to solve Europe's migrant crisis, Spain's foreign minister says.

西班牙外交部長日前表示，特朗普總統建議西班牙在撒哈拉沙漠上修建一堵牆，以解決歐洲的移民危機。

Josep Borrell, also a former President of the European Parliament, disagreed with the strategy.

不過這位曾經擔任歐洲議會前總統、名叫何塞·博雷利的外長並不認同這一戰略。

The comments came during a visit Mr Borrell made to the US at the end of June.

這一建議是在博雷利於6月底訪問美國期間被提出的。

Mr Trump's pledge to build a wall between the US and Mexico was one of his best-known election promises.

特朗普最著名的選舉承諾之一，就是在美國和墨西哥之間修建隔離牆。

Mr Borrell recounted his conversation with the US president at a lunch event in Madrid last week, Spain's foreign ministry confirmed to the BBC.

西班牙外交部向BBC證實，上週，博雷利外長在馬德里舉行的一場午餐會上，分享了他與美國總統的談話。

"The border with the Sahara cannot be bigger than our border with Mexico," Mr Borrell quoted Mr Trump as saying.

“撒哈拉邊境不會比我們和墨西哥的邊境更長了，”博雷爾先生援引特朗普的話說。

The US-Mexico border is 1,954 miles long. The Sahara desert stretches for 3,000 miles.

但實際上，美墨邊境長1954英里，而撒哈拉沙漠則綿延3000英里。

Spain has no sovereignty over the Sahara, but it does possess two small enclaves on the north African coast, Ceuta and Melilla, separated from Morocco by controversial wire fences.

西班牙對撒哈拉沙漠沒有主權，不過確實擁有在北非海岸的兩個小飛地，休達和梅利利亞，通過使用備受爭議的鐵絲網與摩洛哥隔開。

The enclaves have become magnets for African migrants seeking a better life in Europe and refugees fleeing persecution and conflict.

這些飛地吸引着那些尋求歐洲美好生活的非洲移民，以及逃離迫害和衝突的難民。

Since January of this year, at least 35,000 undocumented migrants have arrived in Spain, the highest number received by any Mediterranean EU country.

自今年1月以來，至少有35000名無證移民抵達西班牙，使西班牙成爲接收難民人數最高的地中海歐盟國家。
