特朗普政府已通知国会，计划关闭分布于多个地区的5个规模较小的美国使领馆[1]。这些使领馆分别位于格林纳达圣乔治、日本名古屋、印度尼西亚棉兰、加拿大温尼伯和喀麦隆杜阿拉[1]。此举预计每年可节省约440万美元[1]。
关闭的使领馆中，格林纳达使馆和名古屋领事馆规模最小，各仅有1名美国职员和5名当地员工[1]。棉兰领事馆拥有4名美国直聘员工和47名当地员工[1]。
同时，美国政府正推进在利比亚、叙利亚和委内瑞拉重新开设使馆的计划[1]。
The Trump administration has notified Congress of plans to close five smaller US diplomatic facilities as part of efforts to reduce operational costs [1]. The closures will affect embassies and consulates in Grenada, Nagoya Japan, Medan Indonesia, Winnipeg Canada, and Douala Cameroon [1]. The measure is projected to save approximately $4.4 million annually [1].
The affected posts vary in size and staffing levels [1]. The embassy in Grenada and the consulate in Nagoya each operate with just one American employee and five local staff members [1]. By contrast, the Medan consulate maintains a larger presence with four American direct-hire employees and 47 local staff members [1]. While consolidating these operations, the administration is simultaneously pursuing plans to reestablish US diplomatic missions in Libya, Syria, and Venezuela [1].
