美國表示 未收到菲律賓正式通知

American officials say they have gotten no formal notice from Manila following Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's announcement of a "separation" from the United States.

美國官員說，菲律賓總統杜特尓特宣佈與美國“分手”，但美國未收到馬尼拉的正式通知。

"We have not received any official requests from Filipino officials to alter any of our many issues where we bilaterally cooperate," White House spokesman Eric Schultz told reporters.

白宮發言人舒爾茨說：“我們沒有收到菲律賓官方要修改任何雙邊合作領域議題的要求。”

"It is inexplicably at odds with the very close relationship that we have with the Filipino people, as well as the government there on many different levels, not just from a security perspective," said State Department spokesman John Kirby. "We are going to be seeking an explanation of exactly what the president meant when he talked about separation from the U.S."

國務院發言人柯比說，“杜特尓特的聲明不符合美菲兩國政府與民間多層次的緊密關係，而不僅是安全層面。”他說：“我們會要求菲律賓方面對杜特尓特總統提出的和美國分手一說做出解釋。”

The State Department said Assistant Secretary Daniel Russel would visit Manila from Saturday through Tuesday. Kirby called the trip a a "long-scheduled, long-planned" visit.

美國國務院說，助理國務卿拉塞爾將於本週六到下週二對馬尼拉進行訪問。柯比說，這次訪問是早就安排好的。

Following high-level talks with Chinese leaders in Beijing, the Philippine leader announced a military and economic separation from the United States.

菲律賓總統杜特尓特在北京同中國領導人舉行高層會談後宣佈，在軍事和經濟領域與美國分手。
