(워싱턴=연합뉴스) 홍정규 특파원 = 하워드 러트닉 미국 상무부 장관이 '이란 전쟁에서 미국인 사망자가 없었다'는 발언으로 논란을 빚자 도널드 트럼프 대통령이 이를 뒤늦게 주워 담았다.

트럼프 대통령은 3일(현지시간) 소셜미디어 트루스소셜에서 "이란에선 (미군 장병) 18명이 사망했다"고 밝혔다.

트럼프 대통령은 "러트닉 장관이 아무도 죽은 사람이 없다고 말했던 것은 베네수엘라를 염두에 둔 것"이라고 말했다.

올해 1월 니콜라스 마두로 전 베네수엘라 대통령을 체포했던 미군 작전에서 사망자가 없었다는 뜻이다.

러트닉 장관은 전날 CNBC 방송 인터뷰에서 "내 생각에 대통령이 이란을 다루는 방식은, 미국인 사망자는 없었다"고 말했다.

이어 "사실상 그저 경제적으로 (이란의) 목을 조르는 것이고, 행정부는 그것을 더 광범위하게 실행하고 있으며, 나는 그것이 매우 효과적일 것으로 생각한다"고 주장했다.

러트닉 장관 발언의 논란이 확산하자 미 언론들은 '팩트 체크'를 통해 이 발언이 사실과 다르다고 지적했다.

The People Power Party makes an aggressive attack by linking the suspicions of candidates Kim Seung-won and Yong Hye-in to the failure of the Blue House personnel verification.

On the 3rd, the People Power Party launched an onslaught by linking the suspicions surrounding Justice Minister candidate Kim Seung-won and Gender Equality and Family Minister candidate Yong Hye-in to the Blue House's personnel verification failure. In particular, they defined Candidate Kim's 'suspicion of requesting clinical trials for new drugs' as a clear bribery crime and called for a special investigation, and criticized Candidate Yong using expressions such as 'family income party' and 'social parasite'. In addition, the personnel hearing situation is heating up as Candidate Kim's past suspension for drunk driving and suspicions about Candidate Yong's policy research service are being raised.
