蒂勒森：期待前往倫敦美國新大使館
U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says he hopes to visit the new U.S. embassy in London, a week after President Donald Trump refused to attend its opening.
Tillerson will be in London Sunday at the start of an eight day trip across Europe. But a State Department spokeswoman said no formal ribbon-cutting had been planned for Tillerson's visit.
Tillerson also plans to meet with British leaders and to discuss issues of mutual concern around the world.
Last Friday, Trump cancelled a visit to London in February, saying he did not want to lend his support to a "bad deal" on the embassy relocation, which he incorrectly claimed had been agreed by the Obama administration. The decision to sell the old embassy was actually taken during the George W. Bush administration and was reportedly driven by security concerns.美國國務卿蒂勒森說，他期待前往倫敦的新美國大使館。川普總統一星期前拒絕出席開館儀式。
蒂勒森星期天將訪問倫敦，開始他的8天歐洲之行。不過美國國務院發言人說，蒂勒森國務卿的訪問計劃中沒有正式的剪彩儀式。
蒂勒森國務卿計劃與英國領導人會談，討論美英兩國對世界事務的共同關切。
川普總統上星期五取消了2月訪問倫敦的計劃，說他不想對搬遷美國駐英大使館的“糟糕計劃”表示支持。川普總統還說，大使館搬遷計劃是奧巴馬行政當局同意的。事實上，出售原駐英大使館房產的決定是在小布什總統執政期間做出的，據說主要是出於安全擔心。
