拜登国情咨文遭抗议者封路,被迫绕行国会
据美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)报道,当地时间3月7日,美国总统拜登前往国会大厦发表国情咨文时,白宫和国会大厦之间的传统车队路线遭到抗议者封锁。
抗议者们在白宫附近设置路障,高举标语并呼喊口号,要求拜登政府采取更多措施解决气候变化、社会正义和经济不平等等问题。由于道路封锁,拜登的总统车队被迫绕行,通过一条更长的路线前往国会大厦。
白宫发言人安德鲁·贝茨表示,拜登对抗议者的权利表示尊重,但强调抗议活动必须和平进行,不得干扰总统的行程。
国情咨文是美国总统向国会和全国发表的年度讲话,通常在国会大厦举行。拜登的国情咨文备受关注,预计他将重点讨论经济、外交政策和国内议程。
抗议活动凸显了拜登政府面临的挑战,包括两党分歧、社会动荡和经济不确定性。抗议者希望利用拜登的国情咨文作为表达他们关切的平台,敦促政府采取更大胆的行动解决他们认为最紧迫的问题。
尽管遭到抗议者的阻挠,拜登最终还是抵达国会大厦并发表了国情咨文。他在讲话中概述了他在过去一年取得的成就,并提出了未来一年的优先事项。

**Biden’s State of the Union Address Sidetracked: Protests BlockadeRoute, Force Detour**

**Article Body:**
President Joe Biden’s motorcade to the U.S. Capitol for his State of the Union address on Tuesday, March 7, was forced to take a detour after protesters blocked the traditional route between the White House and Capitol Hill, CNN reported.
Demonstrators set up barricades and held signs and chanted slogans near the WhiteHouse, demanding that the Biden administration take more action on issues such as climate change, social justice, and economic inequality. The road closures forced Biden’s motorcade to take a longer route to the Capitol.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates said Biden respects the protesters’ right to demonstrate but stressed that the protests must be peaceful and not disrupt the president’s schedule.
The State of the Union address is an annual speech delivered by the U.S. president to Congress and the nation, typically held in the House chamber of the Capitol. Biden’s address was highly anticipated, with expectations that he would focus on the economy, foreignpolicy, and his domestic agenda.
The protests highlighted the challenges facing the Biden administration, including partisan divisions, social unrest, and economic uncertainty. The demonstrators sought to use Biden’s State of the Union as a platform to voice their concerns and press the government to take bolder action on issues they consider urgent.
Despite the protesters’ efforts to disrupt, Biden eventually reached the Capitol and delivered his State of the Union address. In his speech, he outlined his accomplishments over the past year and laid out his priorities for the year ahead.
