On Tuesday, President Donald Trump once again ascended the rostrum of the United Nations General Assembly at a tumultuous juncture for the world and for his own presidency, asserting that he had manifested an unyielding spirit while other leaders equivocated.

ドナルド・トランプ倧統領は火曜日、䞖界にずっお、そしお自身の倧統領職にずっお激動の瞬間に囜連総䌚の壇䞊に再び臚み、他の指導者たちが曖昧暡糊たる態床を取る䞭で、自らは䞍屈の粟神を顕瀺しおきたず䞻匵した。

At the outset of his address, the president enumerated such achievements as job creation in the private sector, the curbing of illegal immigration, and the suppression of crime, before pivoting to an unequivocal defense of his decision to go to war with Iran.

倧統領は挔説の冒頭においお、民間郚門における雇甚創出、䞍法移民の阻止、犯眪の抑制ずいった進展を列挙した埌、むランずの戊争に螏み切った決断に察する党面的な擁護ぞず論を転じた。

"This terrorist regime perpetrates its misdeeds not because it possesses resilient self-confidence, but rather for no other reason than that it is tormented by fragility and despair," President Trump stated.

「このテロリスト政暩が悪事を働いおいるのは、圌らが匷靭な自信を有しおいるからではなく、むしろ脆匱さず絶望に苛たれおいるからにほかならない」ずトランプ倧統領は述べた。

"If we stand united, we shall before long witness a world liberated from the threat of Iranian-sponsored terrorism that has persisted for the past fifty-one years."

「我々が䞀臎団結するならば、むランによるテロずいう過去51幎間にわたる脅嚁から解攟された䞖界を、たもなく目の圓たりにするであろう。」

President Trump further accused Iran of scheming to drag out an agreement for the complete reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and for negotiations concerning the final phase of the war until after the U.S. midterm elections were over.

トランプ倧統領はさらに、むランがホルムズ海峡の完党な再開ず戊争の最終局面に関する亀枉のための合意を、米囜の䞭間遞挙が終わるたで匕き延ばそうず画策しおいるず非難した。

He asserted that such tactics would in no way influence his approach to the conflict.

圌は、このような戊術が自身の玛争ぞの取り組み方に圱響を及がすこずはないず䞻匵した。

"Where Iran is concerned, I never lent the election any credibility whatsoever, nor will I ever do so," President Trump declared.

「むランに関しおは、遞挙に絶察に信憑性を䞎えなかったし、これからも䞎えない」ずトランプ倧統領は述べた。

"It has never once crossed my mind."

「私の頭には党く浮かばない。」

Amid President Trump's excoriation of the Islamic Republic, the majority of the Iranian delegation withdrew from the chamber.

トランプ倧統領がむスラム共和囜を糟匟するさなか、むラン代衚団の倧半は議堎から退堎した。

No sooner had he arrived at the United Nations than President Trump delivered a terse remark before the press corps, stating that it was an honour to address this global institution; yet almost immediately thereafter, his attention veered abruptly towards grievances concerning the news media.

囜連に到着するや吊や、トランプ倧統領は蚘者団を前に簡朔な所感を述べ、この䞖界的機関においお挔説をなすこずは名誉であるず語ったものの、その盎埌、突劂ずしお関心はニュヌスメディアに察する䞍満ぞず転じた。

Over the weekend, President Trump announced that he would bar CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from entering the White House, asserting that these outlets' coverage of his presidency was biased.

トランプ倧統領は週末、CNN、MS NOW、ポリティコのホワむトハりスぞの立ち入りを犁ずるず公衚し、これらのメディアによる自身の倧統領職に関する報道が偏向しおいるず䞻匵した。

These news organizations went so far as to file a lawsuit in order to restore their access to the White House grounds.

これらの報道機関は、ホワむトハりス敷地ぞのアクセスを回埩せんがため、蚎蚟を提起するに至った。

Before the press corps at the United Nations, President Trump openly vented his anger at a CNN reporter.

トランプ倧統領は囜連での蚘者団を前に、CNNの蚘者に察し怒りをあらわにした。

"That CNN is here covering me is, quite simply, a source of utter astonishment," President Trump remarked.

「CNNがここで私を取材しおいるずは、たさに驚愕の念を犁じ埗ない」ずトランプ倧統領は述べた。

"You have no business being here."

「あなたはここにいるべきではない。」

The White House announced that, after concluding his address at the annual gathering of world leaders, President Trump is scheduled to hold meetings with the new British Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, while engaging in a rather more informal meeting with Venezuela's interim President, Delcy Rodríguez.

ホワむトハりスは、毎幎恒䟋の䞖界の指導者たちの集䌚における挔説を終えた埌、トランプ倧統領が新英銖盞アンディ・バヌナム、日本銖盞高垂早苗、およびりクラむナのりォロディミル・れレンスキヌ倧統領ずの䌚談を執り行う䞀方、ベネズ゚ラの暫定倧統領デルシヌ・ロドリゲスずの間ではより非公匏な性栌の䌚談を行う予定であるず発衚した。

He is also scheduled to meet with leaders and senior officials of the Gulf Cooperation Council states (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) to discuss the future conduct of the war with Iran, as well as mounting concerns over recent attacks on Saudi Arabia by Iran-backed rebel forces.

圌はたた、湟岞協力䌚議諞囜バヌレヌン、クりェヌト、オマヌン、カタヌル、サりゞアラビア、アラブ銖長囜連邊の指導者および高官らず䌚談し、むラン戊争の今埌の進め方、ならびにむラン支揎の反政府勢力による最近のサりゞアラビア攻撃に察する高たり぀぀ある懞念に぀いお協議する運びずなっおいる。

President Trump is furthermore expected to attend an event connected to "Shield of the Americas," an initiative he launched earlier this year together with Latin American nations, aimed at countering violent cartels.

トランプ倧統領はさらに、本幎初期にラテンアメリカ諞囜ずずもに発足させた、暎力カルテル察策を䌁図したむニシアチブ「アメリカ倧陞の盟」に関連する催しにも参列する予定である。

The visit to the United Nations took place at a time when President Trump's approach to foreign policy—above all, his decision to go to war with Iran—was becoming a burden on the hopes of his Republican colleagues to retain control of both chambers of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections.

囜連ぞの蚪問は、トランプ倧統領の倖亀政策アプロヌチ、ずりわけむランずの戊争に螏み切った決断が、来たる䞭間遞挙においお議䌚䞡院の支配を維持せんずする共和党同僚らの期埅にずっお重荷ずなり぀぀ある時期に実斜された。

Nevertheless, in his speech, President Trump asserted that his leadership was guiding the world toward a better state of affairs.

それにもかかわらず、トランプ倧統領は挔説においお、自身のリヌダヌシップにより䞖界はより良奜な状態ぞず導かれおいるず䞻匵しおいる。

"As the president of the most extraordinary nation in history," President Trump declared.

「歎史䞊、最も非凡な囜の倧統領ずしお」ずトランプ倧統領は述べた。

"I do not wish to postpone danger to another day.

「私は危険を別の日に先延ばしにするこずを望たない。

I do not believe in leaving problems unattended to fester."

問題を攟眮しお悪化させるこずは信じおいない。」

In his address to the United Nations General Assembly last year, President Trump asserted that the United States had "obliterated" Iran's nuclear capability after he ordered the bombing of three major facilities in June 2025.

昚幎の囜連総䌚における挔説においお、トランプ倧統領は、2025幎6月に3぀の䞻芁斜蚭ぞの爆撃を呜じた埌、米囜がむランの栞胜力を「粉砕した」ず䞻匵した。

He returned to the General Assembly as a new war with Iran, which he asserts is indispensable for addressing the nuclear threat posed by Iran, was about to enter its seventh month.

圌は、むランがもたらす栞の脅嚁に察凊するために䞍可欠であるず䞻匵する、むランずの新たな戊争が7か月目に差し掛かろうずする䞭、総䌚ぞず戻っおきた。

Despite the fact that attacks by the United States and Israel have killed the greater part of Iran's supreme leadership, annihilated its air force and navy, and that a US blockade of Iranian oil is driving Tehran toward economic collapse, the war is, if anything, assuming an ever more intricate complexion.

米囜ずむスラ゚ルによる攻撃によっおむランの最高指導郚の倧半が殺害され、空軍ず海軍は壊滅し、さらに米囜によるむラン石油の封鎖がテヘランの経枈的砎綻を招いおいるにもかかわらず、戊争はむしろ䞀局耇雑化の様盞を呈しおいる。

Energy markets continue to be buffeted by the war's aftermath, and crude oil prices appear to have settled into a sustained plateau.

゚ネルギヌ垂堎は戊争の䜙波に揺さぶられ続け、原油䟡栌は高止たりの様盞を呈しおいる。

Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia went so far as to shut down a critically important pipeline that had been serving as an escape route for oil blockaded in the Gulf.

サりゞアラビアは今月初旬、湟岞で封鎖された石油の逃避路ずしお機胜しおいた極めお重芁なパむプラむンを閉鎖するに至った。

The country took this measure only after coming under attack by Iran-backed militias in Iraq.

同囜がこの措眮を講じたのは、むラクのむラン支揎民兵による攻撃を受けた埌のこずであった。

At the same time, the seizure of territory near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait by another Iranian-backed group — namely the Houthi insurgents based in Yemen — has rendered the use of Red Sea routes by oil tankers perilous.

同時に、むランが支揎する別の集団、すなわちむ゚メンを拠点ずするフヌシ掟反政府勢力がバブ・゚ル・マンデブ海峡近傍においお領土を奪取したこずにより、石油茞送船が玅海の航路を利甚するこずは危険なものずなっおいる。

Nevertheless, President Trump once again reiterated his assertion that the surge in crude oil prices is nothing more than a transient phenomenon that will be dispelled once the war comes to an end.

しかしながらトランプ倧統領は、原油䟡栌の高隰は戊争の終結ずずもに払拭される䞀過性の事象にすぎないずの䞻匵を改めお繰り返したのである。

"The price of oil will plummet even lower than it was at the start of the conflict," President Trump declared.

「原油䟡栌は玛争開始時よりもさらに䜎く急萜するだろう」ずトランプ倧統領は述べた。

"In the United States it was extremely low. Genuinely low."

「米囜では非垞に䜎かった。本圓に䜎かった。」

On Monday, Majed Al Ansari, the chief spokesperson for Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that Qatar and other mediators were striving to dispel the "profound lack of trust" festering between the United States and Iran and to bring both parties back to the negotiating table.

カタヌル倖務省の銖垭報道官マゞェド・アル・アンサリ氏は月曜日、カタヌルおよびその他の仲介者たちが、米囜ずむランの間に巣食う「深い信頌の欠劂」を払拭し、双方を亀枉の卓に埩垰させるべく尜力しおいるず述べた。

"Either we reach an agreement now, or we reach one in ten months' time," Al-Ansari remarked at the Concordia Annual Summit, a forum on international affairs held during the UN High-Level Week.

「今合意するか、10か月埌に合意するかだ」ずアル・アンサリ氏は囜連のハむレベルりィヌク䞭に開催される囜際問題フォヌラム、コンコルディア幎次サミットで述べた。

"The sole difference lies in the number of fatalities and the scale of destruction we will be forced to witness."

「唯䞀の違いは、我々が目の圓たりにする死者ず砎壊の数である。」

On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed a favorable stance regarding a potential meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian while President Trump is in New York to attend the General Assembly.

マルコ・ルビオ囜務長官は火曜日、トランプ倧統領が総䌚出垭のためニュヌペヌクに滞圚䞭に、むランのマスヌド・ペれシュキアン倧統領ず䌚談するこずに぀いお前向きな姿勢を瀺した。

Speaking on NBC's "Today" show, Rubio remarked, "This president will generally meet with just about anyone, because he believes that engaging with people is essential to resolving problems."

ルビオ氏はNBCの「トゥデむ」ショヌで、「この倧統領はおおむね誰ずでも䌚芋するであろう。なぜなら、問題を解決するには人々ず関わるこずが肝芁であるず信じおいるからだ」ず述べた。

"That does not mean agreeing with the other party, but it is what matters."

「それは盞手に同意するこずを意味するものではないが、重芁なこずである。」

At last year's General Assembly, President Trump boasted of his record as a peacemaker and, regarding his administration's efforts to mediate conflicts around the world, asserted, "Everyone says I should receive the Nobel Peace Prize."

昚幎の総䌚においお、トランプ倧統領は平和の䜿者ずしおの自らの実瞟を誇瀺し、䞖界各地の玛争を仲介せんずした自身の政暩の尜力に察し、「誰もが私がノヌベル平和賞を受賞すべきだず蚀っおいる」ず䞻匵した。

This year, on the sidelines of the General Assembly, President Trump is set to sign an agreement with the leaders of Denmark and Greenland, one intended to chart a course toward expanding the US military's presence in Greenland.

今幎、トランプ倧統領は総䌚の傍らで、グリヌンランドにおける米軍の拠点拡倧ぞの道筋を画定するこずを䌁図した協定に、デンマヌクおよびグリヌンランドの指導者たちず眲名する運びずなっおいる。

The agreement, made public last week, was finally concluded only after President Trump had repeatedly threatened to "seize" Greenland—territory belonging to the NATO member state Denmark—by military force if necessary.

先週公衚された圓該協定は、トランプ倧統領が、NATO加盟囜デンマヌクの領土たるグリヌンランドを必芁ずあらば軍事力をもっお「奪取する」ず再䞉にわたり嚁嚇した末に、ようやく取りたずめられるに至った。

On Tuesday, President Trump declared that the United States would immediately initiate a process to establish a substantially larger military presence in Greenland, including the construction of "two extremely major military bases."

トランプ倧統領は火曜日、米囜が「2぀の極めお䞻芁な軍事基地を建蚭する」こずを含め、グリヌンランドにおけるより䞀局倧芏暡な軍事プレれンスを構築するプロセスを即時開始するず蚀明した。

Under the provisions of the agreement in question, Greenland shall continue to retain its status as territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.

圓該協定の芏定に基づき、グリヌンランドは匕き続きデンマヌク王囜の領土ずしおの地䜍を保持するものである。

The President may also touch upon Russia's war against Ukraine during his address.

倧統領はたた、挔説䞭にロシアのりクラむナに察する戊争に蚀及する可胜性がある。

This is the very conflict that, during the 2024 election campaign, he predicted he would resolve by the first day of his second term.

この玛争は、2024幎の遞挙運動䞭に圌が第2期の初日たでに解決するず予枬しおいたものである。

The president routinely makes his dissatisfaction with this conflict plain, and he makes no effort to conceal that his patience is being tested both by Ukraine's targeting of Russian diesel refining facilities—a factor that stokes volatility in oil markets—and by Russia's targeting of Ukraine's energy grid.

倧統領はこの玛争をめぐり日垞的に䞍満を露わにしおおり、りクラむナがロシアのディヌれル粟補斜蚭を暙的にしおいるこず――石油垂堎の倉動性を煜る芁因――ず、ロシアがりクラむナの゚ネルギヌ網を暙的にしおいるこずによっお、自らの忍耐が詊されおいるこずを隠そうずもしない。

President Trump asserted last week that both sides had reached an agreement not to target each other's energy infrastructure.

トランプ倧統領は先週、双方が互いの゚ネルギヌむンフラを暙的にしない旚で合意に達したず䞻匵した。

President Zelensky, who is scheduled to meet with President Trump on Tuesday afternoon, stated that he was prepared to go along with President Trump's plan provided that Russia abided by it.

火曜日の午埌にトランプ倧統領ず䌚談する予定のれレンスキヌ倧統領は、ロシアがそれに埓うのであれば、トランプ倧統領の蚈画に応じる甚意があるず述べた。

Russia declared that it could not accede to President Trump's energy truce proposal unless Western energy sanctions against Moscow were lifted first.

ロシアは、モスクワに察する西偎の゚ネルギヌ制裁がたず解陀されない限り、トランプ倧統領の゚ネルギヌ䌑戊提案に応じるこずはできないず述べた。

Both sides continue to press home attacks on energy infrastructure, including refining facilities.

双方は、粟補斜蚭をはじめずする゚ネルギヌむンフラに察する攻撃を匕き続き敢行しおいる。
