美俄關係因斯諾登獲庇護緊繃

The Obama administration says it is "extremely disappointed" that Russia has granted fugitive U.S. intelligence leaker Edward Snowden temporary asylum.

Snowden left the transit zone of the Moscow airport Thursday after being stuck there for more than a month. His lawyer said he was given a year's asylum and a work permit, and was taken to a secret location.

His Russian lawyer says Snowden is planning to speak with the news media in the future, but only after getting acclimated to his new situation.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said Thursday that officials are reevaluating next month's scheduled talks between Presidents Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin in Moscow. He said the Kremlin ignored very clear requests, in public and in private, that Snowden be sent back to the United States for trial.奧巴馬政府對俄羅斯給予逃亡的美國情報泄密者愛德華•斯諾登臨時庇護表示“極度失望”。

在被困一個多月之後，斯諾登星期四離開了莫斯科機場的轉機區。斯諾登的律師說，他獲得一年庇護期以及一份工作許可，並被帶到了一個祕密地點。

斯諾登的俄羅斯律師表示，斯諾登有計劃在未來接受新聞媒體採訪，但必須得等到他對新的環境適應了之後。

白宮發言人卡尼說，官員們正在重新評估下個月奧巴馬總統和普京總統在莫斯科舉行會晤的必要性。他說，克里姆林宮對於美國公開和私下提出的把斯諾登送回美國受審的非常明確的要求未予理睬。
