- 概要
- 贝克曾任美国副国家安全顾问兼副总统顾问
- 近几个月来已有数位白宫国安官员离任
- 贝克被普遍视为对外干预持怀疑态度者
华盛顿8月14日路透电——白宫副国家安全顾问安迪·贝克将在未来几周内离开特朗普政府,这是近期经历洗牌的国安团队最新一轮人事变动。
华盛顿国安官员普遍认为,同时兼任副总统J·D·万斯国家安全顾问的贝克是白宫内部低调但有影响力的人物。

作为前国务院官员、学者,以及万斯在参议院任职期间的顾问,贝克历来主张更克制的美国外交政策,质疑长期海外冲突的明智性。
他也是协助筹备万斯去年慕尼黑安全会议演讲的人士之一。万斯在该演讲中警告欧洲领导人,所谓的审查制度和民主倒退对欧洲大陆构成的风险,与中国和俄罗斯等外部威胁同样严峻。
“我为我们取得的一切成就感到自豪,当然也无比感谢总统、副总统和鲁比奥国务卿,”贝克在给路透社的声明中写道。“我永远不会远离政坛。”

万斯和国务卿马可·鲁比奥分别发表声明,赞扬这位即将离任的副国安顾问。贝克的离任消息最先由Axios报道。
人事变动
据一名熟悉贝克的人士透露,贝克育有年幼子女,原本计划更早离任,但为协助完成几项关键人事过渡而在白宫多留了数月。
该人士透露,与鲁比奥关系密切的国务院高级官员迈克·尼德汉姆于5月底加入白宫,与贝克一同担任副国家安全顾问。几乎同一时间,特朗普首届政府时期的白宫及情报官员克利夫·西姆斯接替贝克,担任万斯的国家安全顾问。
近几个月来,白宫国安团队低层官员也有额外离职情况。负责欧洲和拉丁美洲事务的国家安全委员会高级官员均于6月离任。

此次人事更迭的 broader 意义尚不明确。尽管贝克曾参与部分高层会谈,且被认为比部分同僚更具影响力,但特朗普政府往往在原则层面处理其最大的外交政策挑战,即便对最高层级官员也授予的职权相对有限。
在国安体系之外,白宫近日宣布了白宫新闻秘书卡洛琳·利夫特和白宫法律顾问戴维·沃林顿即将离任的消息。

- Summary
- Baker served as deputy US national security adviser and adviser to VP Vance
- Several White House national security officials have departed in recent months
- Baker broadly considered a skeptic of foreign intervention
WASHINGTON, Aug 14 (Reuters) – White House deputy national security adviser Andy Baker will leave the Trump administration in the coming weeks, marking the latest change to a national security team that has undergone a shake-up in recent months.
National security officials in Washington widely view Baker, who also served as a national security adviser to Vice President JD Vance, as a low-key but influential figure inside the White House.

A former State Department official, academic and Vance adviser when the vice president was in the Senate, Baker had historically advocated for a more restrained American foreign policy that questioned the wisdom of long-term foreign conflicts.
He was also among the figures who helped craft Vance’s speech to the Munich Security Conference last year, during which the vice president warned European leaders that alleged censorship and democratic backsliding posed risks as severe to the continent as external threats, like those posed by China and Russia.
“I’m proud of everything we’ve achieved and, of course, am incredibly grateful to the President, Vice President and Secretary Rubio,” Baker wrote in a statement provided to Reuters. “I’ll never be far away.”

In separate statements, Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised the outgoing deputy national security adviser, whose departure was first reported by Axios.
STAFF CHANGES
Baker, who has a young family, stayed on at the White House months longer than originally planned to help with some key staff transitions, according to a person close to him.
Mike Needham, a high-ranking State Department official close to Rubio, joined the White House in late May as another deputy national security adviser alongside Baker, the person noted. Cliff Sims, a White House and intelligence official during Trump’s first term, succeeded Baker as national security adviser to Vance at around the same time.
There have been additional staff departures at lower levels of the White House’s national security team in recent months. The top officials on the National Security Council overseeing Europe and Latin America both departed in June.

The broader significance of the turnover is unclear. While Baker was present at some high-level talks and was considered far more influential than some of his peers, the Trump administration has often dealt with its biggest foreign policy challenges at the principal level, delegating relatively little responsibility even to its highest-level staff.
Outside the national security space, the White House has in recent days announced the impending departure of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and White House counsel David Warrington.
