特朗普取消對英國的國事訪問

US President Donald Trump has ditched a planned visit to London, saying he will not cut the ribbon on the new US embassy in the city as it was a “bad deal” made under the Obama administration.

美國總統(tǒng)唐納德•特朗普(Donald Trump)已取消了一次訪問英國的計劃。他表示，將不會為倫敦的新美國大使館剪彩，因為那是在奧巴馬(Obama)政府主持下達成的一筆“糟糕買賣”。

Mr Trump tweeted late on Thursday night in the US:

特朗普周四深夜在美國發(fā)表推文稱：我取消了前往倫敦的行程，因為我不是奧巴馬政府的忠實粉絲。那個政府可能以“跳樓價”賣掉了位置最好、最完美的大使館，僅僅為了花12億美元在偏遠地點建一個新的。糟糕的買賣。想讓我去剪彩——沒門!

The tweet followed months of uncertainty over whether Mr Trump would go ahead with a state visit to the UK, slated for this year following an online spat with prime minister Theresa May in late 2017.

此前幾個月里，特朗普原定今年對英國進行國事訪問的計劃能否成行一直存在未知數(shù)，因為在2017年下半年，特朗普與特里薩•梅(Theresa May)在網(wǎng)上發(fā)生了口角。

Trump had enraged politicians in the UK in November when he retweeted several inflammatory videos from far-right group Britain First – a move that Mrs May said was “wrong” and which prompted British MPs to describe Mr Trump as “fascist”, “stupid” and “racist, incompetent or unthinking”.

去年11月，當特朗普在推特上轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)了極右團體“英國第一”(Britain First)的幾個煽動性視頻時，惹惱了英國政治家。此舉被梅稱為“錯誤”，并導(dǎo)致英國一些國會議員把特朗普描述為“法西斯”，“蠢貨”和“無能力或沒腦子的種族主義者”。

Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, said at the time that it was “increasingly clear that any official visit at all from President Trump to Britain would not be welcomed.”

倫敦市市長薩迪克•汗(Sadiq Khan)當時表示，情況“越來越明顯，特朗普總統(tǒng)對英國的任何官方訪問都將不受歡迎。”

Although Mr Trump’s tweet criticised the administration of Barack Obama for the sale of the old embassy’s location, the move from Grosvenor Square in Mayfair to the Nine Elms quarter in Vauxhall, south of the river Thames, was announced in October 2008, before Mr Obama took office or was even elected president.

盡管特朗普的推文批評巴拉克•奧巴馬(Barack Obama)政府賣掉了原有的大使館，但從梅費爾區(qū)(Mayfair)的格羅夫納廣場(Grosvenor Square)搬到泰晤士河以南沃克斯豪爾(Vauxhall)的九榆樹廣場(Nine Elms Square)的決定，是在2008年10月宣布的，那時奧巴馬還未上任、甚至尚未當選為總統(tǒng)。
