美国（United States）珍视其与赞比亚（Zambia）的长期伙伴关系。在过去的20年里，美国（United States）和赞比亚（Zambia）在维和、美国总统防治艾滋病紧急救援计划（PEPFAR）项目以及民主倡议方面开展合作，这些合作改善了全球健康、稳定和社会流动性。尽管特朗普政府（Trump Administration）曾试图通过《全球健康谅解备忘录》（Global Health Memorandum of Understanding）将拯救生命的健康援助与关键矿产获取挂钩，导致两国伙伴关系一度紧张，但我们两国之间的密切合作比以往任何时候都更加重要。

Although this partnership has been strained by the Trump Administration's attempts to link lifesaving health assistance with critical minerals access through the Global Health Mem
"This is why we are especially concerned by the Zambian ruling party's attempts to undermine the country's electoral environment ahead of its August 13th elections. The ruling party's recent actions are reminiscent of previous elections where political opponents – including current President Hakainde Hichilema – were arrested in an effort to silence opposition.
