美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥将于周一前往冰岛，继续推动美国在北极地区的利益，这距离华盛顿与格陵兰签署安全协议已过去两周。
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will travel Monday to Iceland to continue pressing US interests in the Arctic, two weeks after Washington sealed a security pact on Greenland.

Iceland has never had a military since gaining independence in 1944, instead relying on agreements with NATO and the United States © Jonathan NACKSTRAND / AFP Rubio will meet with officials in Reykjavik "to discuss economic and security collaboration," the US State Department said in a statement announcing the trip.
这次行程来去匆匆，既具象征意义又具政治意味，此前美国于9月下旬在纽约联合国大会期间与丹麦和格陵兰签署了安全协议。
The lightning visit, as symbolic as it is political, comes after the US signed a security pact with Denmark and Greenland in late September on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
该协议显然终结了特朗普总统购买甚至吞并格陵兰的威胁，此前该威胁曾导致美欧关系恶化。
The agreement has apparently put an end to President Donald Trump's threats to buy or even annex Greenland, which soured relations with the EU.
根据协议，华盛顿计划在格陵兰建立两个新军事基地，将这个丹麦自治领土进一步纳入美国轨道。
Under the pact, Washington plans to establish two new military bases on Greenland, drawing the autonomous Danish territory further into US orbit.
随着北极地区竞争加剧，冰岛重新获得战略地位，尽管该岛国在安全方面仍高度依赖美国。
With competition on the rise in the Arctic, Iceland has regained status as a strategic player, even as the island continues to rely heavily on the United States for security.
9月初，特朗普分享一张AI生成的地图，引发新争议，地图似乎将整个北美洲、加勒比海、格陵兰和冰岛均标为“美利坚合众国”。对此，雷克雅未克召见美国大使，“传达明确信息，即该图片完全不恰当”，冰岛外交部在给法新社的声明中表示。
At the start of September, Trump sparked new controversy by sharing an AI-generated map that appeared to show all of North America, the Caribbean, Greenland and Iceland as "the United States of America." In response, Reykjavic summoned the US ambassador "to convey a clear message that the image was wholly inappropriate," Iceland's foreign ministry said in a statement to AFP.
冰岛人于8月下旬以52.8%对47.2%的比例投票反对恢复加入欧盟谈判，该谈判自2013年以来一直冻结。
Icelanders had voted in late August 52.8 percent to 47.2 percent against resuming negotiations on joining the European Union, which have been frozen since 2013.
上一位访问冰岛的美国国务卿是安东尼·布林肯，时间为2021年。
The last US secretary of state to visit Iceland was Antony Blinken in 2021.
自1944年独立以来，冰岛从未拥有过军队。它依靠北大西洋公约组织（北约）保障安全，并依据1951年与美国签署的双边防务协定。
Since gaining independence in 1944, Iceland has never had a military. It relies on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) for its security and on a bilateral defense pact signed with the United States in 1951.
美国在冰岛没有永久基地，但正寻求巩固对俄罗斯和中国觊觎的北极航道的控制权。
Washington does not have a permanent base in Iceland, but is looking to consolidate its control over Arctic access routes coveted by Russia and China.
特朗普周日再次释放对格陵兰岛的执念，在其“真相社交”平台发布了一张AI生成的图片，画面中他的面孔高悬于疑似格陵兰岛的景观之上，配文“你好，格陵兰岛！”
Trump again signaled his obsession with Greenland on Sunday, posting on his Truth Social platform an AI-generated image of his face looming over what appears to be its landscape, accompanied by the words "Hello, Greenland!" Greece, Portugal After Iceland, Rubio continues to Athens to participate in a "strategic dialogue" with NATO member Greece on regional and energy security, the State Department said.
希腊、葡萄牙 国务院表示，在访问冰岛后，鲁比奥将继续前往雅典，与北约成员国希腊就地区和能源安全举行“战略对话”。
The wars in Iran and Ukraine have laid bare the fragility of energy supply chains, and Greece is positioning itself to become a key hub in southeastern Europe for natural gas transport.
伊朗和乌克兰的战争暴露了能源供应链的脆弱性，希腊正致力于将自己打造成东南欧天然气运输的关键枢纽。
The visit follows media reports about possible conflicts of interest involving the US ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former fiancee of Donald Trump Jr. and ex-wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
此访此前有媒体报道称，美国驻希腊大使金伯利·吉尔福伊尔（唐纳德·特朗普二世前未婚妻、加州州长加文·纽森前妻）存在潜在利益冲突。
In a letter addressed to Rubio, Congressman Gregory Meeks sought clarification of a Wall Street Journal report alleging she had stated the United States could create "political change" in European countries.
众议员格雷戈里·米克斯致信鲁比奥，要求就《华尔街日报》的一篇报道澄清情况，该报道指控吉尔福伊尔曾表示美国可以在欧洲国家制造“政治变革”。随后，鲁比奥将短暂停留里斯本，结束其欧洲之行。
Rubio later wraps up his European tour with a brief stop in Lisbon.
