On October 20, 2026, Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded to critics who attacked President Trump for communicating with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Rubio said people need to “grow up” on foreign policy: it is not unusual for the leaders of the three most powerful nuclear-armed nations on Earth to talk to each other.
美西时间2026年10月20日，国务卿马可·卢比奥回应了那些攻击川普总统与中国领导人习近平和俄罗斯总统普京沟通的批评者。卢比奥说，人们在外交政策上需要“长大一点”：地球上三个最强大的核武国家的领导人相互沟通，这并不奇怪。
Rubio rejected the claim that talking to an adversary is the same as “rewarding” them. He pointed out that reaching a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine is impossible without talking to both sides. He called the idea that a meeting with a world leader automatically equals being “soft on dictators” elementary-level misunderstanding.
卢比奥驳斥了“和对手谈话就是在奖励对方”的说法。 他指出，如果不和俄罗斯与乌克兰双方谈，就不可能达成俄乌和平协议。他把“见世界领导人就等于对独裁者软弱”的想法称为基础层面的误解。
The comments come as Trump has pursued direct communication with both Beijing and Moscow while maintaining pressure through tariffs, sanctions, and military posture. Supporters argue this is a calculated approach: use strength to create conditions for talks, then talk to reduce the risk of wider conflict and seek outcomes that serve American interests. Critics who previously supported open-ended aid to Ukraine have called the same approach weak.
这些评论出现在川普既与北京和莫斯科直接沟通、又通过关税、制裁和军事姿态保持压力的背景下。支持者认为这是经过计算的做法：用实力创造谈判条件，再通过对话降低更广泛冲突的风险，并寻求符合美国利益的结果。 此前支持无限援助乌克兰的批评者，则把同样的做法称为软弱。
Those who strongly oppose dictatorships can still see the logic. Talking does not mean endorsing another country’s system. It means recognizing that the three nuclear powers cannot simply ignore each other if the goal is to limit war, manage competition, or reach any practical agreement. The alternative—refusing all communication while conflicts continue—has its own costs in lives and risk.
即使是强烈反对独裁者的人，也可以理解这一逻辑。谈话不等于认可对方的制度。它意味着承认：如果目标是限制战争、管理竞争或达成任何实际协议，三个核大国不能简单互不理睬。 替代方案——在冲突持续时拒绝一切沟通——本身也有生命和风险的代价。
