Hours after suggesting a possible delay in this year's presidential election, President Donald Trump on Thursday said he did not want to postpone the vote but remained concerned that millions of mail-in ballots would cause problems.

周四美国总统特朗普发布推特，建议推迟今年总统选举。数小时后，特朗普又改口称，他不是想推迟总统选举，只是仍然担心数百万张选票邮寄会有问题。

特朗普在白宫召开的新闻发布会上对记者说，他不希望也不想要推迟总统选举，用他的话说，那“没有任何意义”。

"I don't wanna see that take place in a week after November 3, or a month or, frankly, with litigation and everything else that can happen, years."

“我不想在11月3日之后的一周，或者一个月，甚至更坦率地说，以后几年时间里发生选举推迟和其他事情。”
