The White House on Thursday followed up its plan to cancel its subscriptions to the New York Times and the Washington Post by urging all federal agencies to do the same thing."Not renewing subscriptions across all federal agencies will be a significant cost saving for taxpayers—hundreds of thousands of dollars,"White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement,without indicating how she arrived at that cost savings or how many subscriptions government agencies have.
周四，白宫继其取消《纽约时报》和《华盛顿邮报》订阅的计划之后，敦促所有联邦机构也这样做。白宫新闻发言人斯蒂芬妮·格里沙姆(Stephanie Grisham)在一份声明中表示:"不在所有联邦机构延长订阅期限，将为纳税人节省数十万美元的成本。"但她没有说明她是如何节省这笔费用的，也没有说明政府机构订阅了多少。
The Post offers free digital subscriptions to federal employees who use their government email addresses,according to the Wall Street Journal,which first reported the news.
据首先报道此消息的《华尔街日报》报道，《华盛顿邮报》为使用政府电子邮件地址的联邦雇员提供免费的数字订阅服务。
Representatives for the White House,Times and Post did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
白宫、《纽约时报》和《华盛顿邮报》的代表没有立即回应置评请求。
The move follows Trump's statement to Fox News earlier this week that the White House"won't be renewing"its subscriptions to the papers,which he has long derided as"fake news"for their aggressive coverage of his administration.Grisham subsequently confirmed the White House's cancellation plans to Politico on Tuesday.
此前，特朗普本周早些时候向福克斯新闻(Fox News)发表声明称，白宫"不会续订"这些报纸的订阅。长期以来，特朗普一直嘲笑这些报纸对他的政府进行了咄咄逼人的报道，称其为"假新闻"。随后，格里沙姆证实了白宫取消周二访问 Politico 的计划。
In September,Trump kicked off Labor Day morning by attacking the"LameStream media"in a series of tweets,singling out the Washington Post and saying the paper"brought racist attacks against our Nation."Later that month—and many times before—he went after the Times by name as well.
今年9月，特朗普在劳动节的第一个早晨发布了一系列推文，攻击"令人沮丧的媒体"，特别指出《华盛顿邮报》，称该报"对我们的国家进行了种族主义攻击"那个月晚些时候，以及之前的许多次，他也指名道姓地追随《纽约时报》。
Tuesday,the Post's Paul Farhi wrote on Twitter in response to the news,"Two reactions:1.Thanks for subscribing in the first place;and 2.He's just getting around to cancelling now?"
周二，《华盛顿邮报》的保罗·法希在推特上回应了这一消息，"两个反应:
1.首先感谢您的订阅
2.他现在就打算取消吗?"
