特朗普给西班牙移民危机提建议 在撒哈拉沙漠建一堵墙!

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

西班牙外交部长日前表示，特朗普总统建议西班牙在撒哈拉沙漠上修建一堵墙，以解决欧洲的移民危机。

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

不过这位曾经担任欧洲议会前总统、名叫何塞·博雷利的外长并不认同这一战略。

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

这一建议是在博雷利于6月底访问美国期间被提出的。

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

特朗普最著名的选举承诺之一，就是在美国和墨西哥之间修建隔离墙。

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证实，上周，博雷利外长在马德里举行的一场午餐会上，分享了他与美国总统的谈话。

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

“撒哈拉边境不会比我们和墨西哥的边境更长了，”博雷尔先生援引特朗普的话说。

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

但实际上，美墨边境长1954英里，而撒哈拉沙漠则绵延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.

西班牙对撒哈拉沙漠没有主权，不过确实拥有在北非海岸的两个小飞地，休达和梅利利亚，通过使用备受争议的铁丝网与摩洛哥隔开。

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

这些飞地吸引着那些寻求欧洲美好生活的非洲移民，以及逃离迫害和冲突的难民。

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月以来，至少有35000名无证移民抵达西班牙，使西班牙成为接收难民人数最高的地中海欧盟国家。
