美国官员表示，奥巴马政府与埃及官员举行会谈，讨论埃及总统穆巴拉克立即辞职，并将权力移交给得到军方支持的副总统苏莱曼领导的临时政府的提议。美国国务院一位高级官员说，他们正在“积极讨论”的一种可能情况是，穆巴拉克下台并移居红海南端西奈半岛上的沙姆沙伊赫。
穆巴拉克最近说，他不会流亡。他希望死在埃及的土地上。
没有透露姓名的美国官员们说，美国与埃及的会谈包括一个提议，内容是过渡政府广泛邀请包括被取缔的穆斯林兄弟会在内的反对派组织成员，开始致力于开放埃及的选举体系，准备在9月举行自由公平选举。
U.S. officials say the Obama administration is in talks with Egyptian officials on a proposal for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to resign immediately, and turn power over to a transitional government headed by Vice President Omar Suleiman with the support of the Egyptian military.A senior State Department official said a scenario "under active discussion" is the prospect of Mr. Mubarak stepping down and taking up residence in Sharm el-Sheikh, on the Red Sea at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula.
Mr. Mubarak has recently said he will not go into exile and wants to die on Egyptian soil.
U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the talks with Egypt include a proposal for a transitional government to invite members from opposition groups, including the banned Muslim Brotherhood, to begin work on opening the country's electoral system for free and fair elections in September.
