美国国务院计划关闭位于日本名古屋、加拿大温尼伯、印度尼西亚棉兰、喀麦隆杜阿拉和格林纳达圣乔治的5处海外外交机构[1]。美国国务院已向国会部分委员会发出通知，相关计划尚未对外公开，仍需完成相关行政程序并接受国会监督[1]。这是近年来美国少见的集中缩减海外外交网络举措[1]。
这一举动是特朗普政府推进外交体系改革的一部分[1]。2025年以来，特朗普政府已完成国务院新一轮机构改革，裁撤逾千名外交人员和公务员[1]。美国国务卿鲁比奥表示改革旨在建立"更加精简、更有效率"的外交体系[1]。白宫管理和预算办公室主张进一步关闭多达30处海外使领馆[1]。
对于这一缩减政策，美国国内存在担忧声音[1]。多名美国民主党人士、前外交官及国家安全专家警告，持续收缩海外外交布局可能削弱美国长期积累的全球影响力[1]。
The U.S. State Department has announced plans to shutter five overseas diplomatic facilities as part of a broader effort to restructure the nation's foreign service infrastructure [1]. The targeted posts include consulates in Nagoya, Japan; Winnipeg, Canada; Medan, Indonesia; a branch office of the embassy in Douala, Cameroon; and an embassy location in St. George's, Grenada [1].
The State Department has notified certain congressional committees of the closure plan, though the initiative remains subject to administrative procedures and congressional oversight [1]. Secretary of State Marco Rubio characterized the overhaul as essential to establishing a "leaner and more efficient" diplomatic apparatus [1]. The consolidation reflects the Trump administration's "America First" policy direction and represents one of the most significant coordinated reductions in U.S. overseas diplomatic presence in recent years [1].
The reorganization effort extends beyond these five closures. Since 2025, the Trump administration has completed a new round of State Department restructuring that has resulted in the elimination of over one thousand diplomatic and civil service positions [1]. The White House Office of Management and Budget has advocated for shuttering as many as 30 overseas embassies and consulates [1].
The move has drawn concern from U.S. Democratic lawmakers, former diplomats, and national security experts, who have warned that sustained contraction of the diplomatic footprint could undermine America's long-accumulated global influence [1].
