US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday announced a comprehensive plan to reorganize the US State Department, aiming to deliver on US President Donald Trump's America First foreign policy.
美國國務卿魯比奧22日宣布美國務院將實施全面重組計劃，以精簡人員和削減成本，落實美國總統特朗普宣揚的“美國優先”外交政策。
Rubio said in a statement that "we are facing tremendous challenges across the globe" and "in its current form, the Department is bloated, bureaucratic, and unable to perform its essential diplomatic mission in this new era of great power competition."
魯比奧當天在一份聲明中說，美國“正在全球范圍內面臨巨大挑戰”，“目前的國務院機構臃腫、官僚主義嚴重，在大國競爭的新時代，難以履行其重要的外交使命”。
"Over the past 15 years, the Department's footprint has had unprecedented growth and costs have soared. But far from seeing a return on investment, taxpayers have seen less effective and efficient diplomacy. The sprawling bureaucracy created a system more beholden to radical political ideology than advancing America's core national interests," Rubio noted.
“在過去的15年里，該部門的足跡出現了前所未有的增長，成本飆升。但是，納稅人看到的不是投資回報，而是外交的效果和效率下降。龐大的官僚機構創造了一個更依賴激進政治意識形態的體系，而不是推進美國的核心國家利益，”魯比奧指出。
"That is why today I am announcing a comprehensive reorganization plan that will bring the Department into the 21st Century," he said, adding that "This approach will empower the Department from the ground up, from the bureaus to the embassies. Region-specific functions will be consolidated to increase functionality, redundant offices will be removed, and non-statutory programs that are misaligned with America's core national interests will cease to exist."
他說：“這就是我今天宣布一項全面重組計劃的原因，這項計劃將使國務院進入21世紀?！彼€說，“這種方法將賦予國務院從基層到各局到各使館的權力。特定地區的職能將被整合以增加功能，多余的辦公室將被移除，與美國核心國家利益不一致的非法定項目將不復存在?！?span style="text-wrap: wrap;">
The plan will reportedly reduce staff in the United States by 15 percent and eliminate more than 130 domestic offices.
據報道，該計劃將在美國裁減15%的員工，并取消130多個國內辦事處。
The changes would bring the total number of offices at the State Department's headquarters from 734 to 602. An additional 137 offices will be transitioned to another location within the Department to increase efficiency, CNN reported, citing an internal State Department fact sheet obtained by the news outlet.
這些變化將使國務院總部的辦公室總數從734個變為602個。美國有線電視新聞網援引該新聞機構獲得的國務院內部情況說明書稱，另外137個辦事處將轉移到國務院的另一個地點，以提高效率。
The plan will cut around 700 positions in Washington, DC, and close offices focused on war crimes and global conflict, said the report.
報道稱，該計劃將削減華盛頓特區約700個職位，并關閉專注于戰爭罪行和全球沖突的辦公室。
