Trump’s push for $350 billion ‘arsenal of freedom’ hits GOP skepticism

President Donald Trump wants Congress to supercharge military funding and pass stalled voter ID and citizenship verification legislation in one fell swoop, but many Republicans aren’t sold on the plan.

Trump on Wednesday called on congressional Republicans to steer around Democrats’ opposition again and “immediately” pass a third budget reconciliation package, including $350 billion in defense spending coupled with the stalled Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act.

“This is a GENERATIONAL Investment in our Military, even bigger than President Reagan’s! Recon 3.0 is the ONLY path to the full $1.5 TRILLION DOLLAR Military Budget our Warriors need in order to build THE ARSENAL OF FREEDOM,” Trump said on Truth Social.

The president’s request came just hours after he signed Republicans’ second budget reconciliation bill into law that would fund immigration enforcement through the rest of his presidency for $70 billion. Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act was also passed through budget reconciliation.

But many Republicans are lukewarm at best to the idea of restarting the budget reconciliation process, which would require strict party unity amid a dwindling calendar of legislative days heading into the November midterm elections.

The GOP has also yet to fully come around to Trump’s $1.5 trillion defense spending request, and some lawmakers have voiced concern about circumventing the normal appropriations process to boost defense spending.

Trump’s plea for a third bite at the apple comes as he and congressional Republicans are increasingly at odds over policy decisions that have made passing legislation on the Hill all the more difficult.

Some Republicans who have pushed for a third attempt at the party-line process have acknowledged that it’s unlikely to work. Further, Congress is unlikely to pass any other bills before the midterm elections in November because of Democratic opposition.

“I think it’s a very, very long shot that anything passes between now and the midterms,” Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said. “It gives me heartburn to say that, but I think that’s political reality.”

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., didn’t completely close the door on another reconciliation bill, but he noted that there is skepticism among Republicans on moving forward.

“You’ve got to have something that you can win on,” Thune said. “And you’ve heard some of our folks already express their views on another reconciliation bill.”

Earlier in the week, during a contentious Senate Appropriations hearing, Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., both agreed that another reconciliation bill was unlikely to happen, particularly as a dumping ground for billions in additional defense spending.

Collins, who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, said, “Reconciliation is not the best approach.”

“It would be very difficult to get the reconciliation bill approved,” Collins said.

Discussions on a third reconciliation package were underway in the House prior to Trump’s public endorsement. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has voiced confidence that his chamber will clear a third budget bill by the August recess.

But some GOP lawmakers have questioned its viability amid Republicans’ slim majority and the potential lack of a unifying policy idea to keep the conference together.

“I haven’t quite heard enough policy proposals that lead me to think it’s going to gel, but I’m certainly open-minded,” Rep. Nick Langworthy, R-N.Y., told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.

Rep. Kevin Kiley, I-Calif., a Republican-turned-independent who voted against Trump’s $70 billion immigration enforcement measure, indicated he isn’t likely to support a third attempt.

“We have now gotten to this habit of one party takes power, they do reconciliation bills and the other party does it, and this cycle hasn’t been good,” the California lawmaker told Fox News Digital. “It’s one of the things that fed the cycles of dysfunction that we have around here.”

How Trump has deceived himself on Iran

2026-06-11T16:51:41.084Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/11/politics/trump-iran-deceiving-analysis

• President Donald Trump has repeatedly said a deal with Iran is imminent while backing away from military threats and downplaying Iranian provocations.
• His pattern of relaxed deadlines and hollow threats has signaled to Tehran that he lacks the will to resume hostilities.
• With midterm elections approaching, Trump faces mounting pressure to resolve a conflict that may have become a political liability for Republicans.

AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.

President Donald Trump is nothing if not studied at crafting elaborate alternate realities.

But for the last two and a half months or so, he conjured one that seemed primarily aimed at deceiving himself.

He painted Iran as desperate to cut a deal, which always seemed to be right around the corner. And he repeatedly gave Tehran the benefit of the doubt, relaxed his own deadlines, walked back his threats and downplayed Iran’s provocations and apparent ceasefire violations.

The pattern played out again Monday, when Trump yet again backed off on threatened attacks just hours after saying he planned to take over Kharg Island. As he has before, he cited supposed progress in negotiating an agreement.

The problem with this approach is that it has made it pretty clear that Trump lacks the will to go back to war — that he prefers to just be done with it all, even as Iran plays on his reluctance.

And it increasingly appears as though Trump hoping against hope just delayed an inevitable return to the kind of hostilities that resumed this week before Trump’s latest claim of an imminent bargain.

Trump’s fanciful treatment of a potential deal with Iran appears to have mostly prolonged the war and its economic pain — and brought the situation closer to the 2026 midterm elections, which increasingly loom as a major leverage point for Iran.

Even as hostilities intensified over the last 24 hours — largely in the wake of Iran downing a US Army Apache helicopter whose pilots had to be saved — Trump was almost begrudging about being dragged back in.

In a Tuesday social media post, he downplayed the severity of Iran downing the helicopter while saying, “Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.” He told the Wall Street Journal the same day that Iran’s attack “wasn’t a big deal.” While talking about retaliation, he said Wednesday, “I guess we have the right to do that.”

Trump has also mixed in some very tough talk about how hard he would hit Iran — even saying on social media on Thursday that the US military would soon “be taking Kharg Island,” an operation that would likely require ground troops and could risk significant casualties.

But just minutes later, there he was on Fox News downplaying that possibility by repeatedly citing Americans’ lack of “appetite” for such military action.

“I’m not sure the country has the appetite for it,” Trump said.

“I’m not sure the country has the appetite for it,” he soon repeated. “And that’s okay, I understand that.”

“I don’t want to have boots on the ground, but if I wanted to, we could put a small group of soldiers and take over the whole place,” he said.

The president later added: “I don’t know that America has the appetite to do what I would really much prefer doing.”

But it often looks like it’s Trump who lacks the stomach.

Early in the war, he repeatedly set deadlines for Iran to capitulate or else, only to relax them despite Tehran not meeting his demands. (This is also known as bluffing.)

Trump on April 7 announced a hastily assembled ceasefire whose terms nobody seemed to agree on. Then the administration tried to keep the appearance of the truce going even though Iran didn’t do the one major thing Trump insisted it had to. He initially said the ceasefire was “subject to … the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz” — which never happened.

And when Iran seemed to violate the ceasefire in other ways, Trump and his administration repeatedly strained to downplay it.

Trump has also sent signals that he’d very much like to avoid going back to war. Last week, for example, he twice cited the cautionary tale that was Jimmy Carter and the Iran hostage crisis.

“I don’t want to put men in that kind of danger,” Trump said on June 3. “I remember Jimmy Carter had some bad problems in Iran with the hostages. I don’t want to ever put our people in that kind of danger.”

He added the next day, while downplaying the possibility of sending in troops to recover highly enriched uranium: “I didn’t want to be Jimmy Carter, you know — I didn’t feel like being Jimmy Carter.”

In other words, Trump’s reluctance to go back to war hasn’t been subtle.

Allies might fancifully view Trump’s position as posturing or some strategic play. But it seems to have only encouraged Iran to hold out for more favorable terms from a peace deal.

Indeed, that’s the problem with Trump telegraphing what he wants to do and repeatedly giving the other side a pass: It gives Iran leverage.

That doesn’t mean Trump won’t ultimately go big in restarting the war.

But it begs the question why the administration didn’t respond more strongly, for instance, when it became clear Iran wasn’t satisfying Trump’s demand that the ceasefire include reopening the strait.

That seemed a pretty big violation, but the administration basically ignored it.

And the US trying to accommodate Iran for two months has not been without a cost. One of Iran’s biggest assets is the passage of time. While Trump might view the US blockade of the strait as bleeding the Iranian economy, he’s on the clock too.

As the midterm elections approach, Republicans will likely be putting more pressure on Trump to wrap up what looks like a potential political albatross for them thanks to still-spiking inflation. That could force some very difficult decisions — i.e. whether to go back to war or to cut a suboptimal deal in the name of bringing this ugly chapter to a close.

And that’s a real potential choice Trump increasingly can’t ignore.

Markings that appear to show the numbers “86 47” seen on National Mall in Washington

June 11, 2026 / 3:06 PM EDT / CBS News

Washington — Markings appeared on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Thursday that seem to depict the numbers “86 47,” according to photos taken from the top of the Washington Monument.

A photographer for the Reuters news outlet saw the apparent markings just before federal authorities arrived to look into the incident, according to the wire service. Photos taken by the Reuters photographer show the faint tracings of “86 47” in the grass with the World War II Memorial in the background.

The “8” appears most prominently, while the numbers “6” and “7” can be seen less clearly. The number “4” is the least visible in the photos. It was not immediately clear how the markings were made or who made them. The U.S. Park Police did not immediately return to a request for comment.

A spokesperson for the Interior Department said, “The deranged vandalism on our National Mall will not be tolerated. Any threat against the President is taken very seriously by the Department, and our U.S. Park Police will investigate this incident and hold those responsible accountable.”

The term “86” is slang meaning to “throw out” or “get rid of,” according to Merriam-Webster. The phrase is commonly used in restaurant kitchens and originated at soda counters in the 1930s, according to the dictionary. But the term gained more attention recently when former FBI Director James Comey was indicted after sharing an Instagram post last year that showed seashells on the beach arranged to form “86 47.”

Comey deleted the post and said he believed the shell formation was communicating a “political message.” The former FBI chief said he did not realize that some people associate the numbers with violence.

Comey was charged with two counts of making threats against President Trump. He has not yet entered a plea and is set to be arraigned in New Bern, North Carolina, in late September.

Mr. Trump has said the term “86” is a mob term that connotes violence and, when paired with “47,” means “kill President Trump.” Mr. Trump is the 47th president.

“EIGHT MILES OUT, SIX FEET DOWN!” he wrote on Truth Social in April.

Dubbed “America’s Front Yard,” the National Mall stretches from the Lincoln Memorial to the west and the U.S. Capitol to the east. It is set to be the site of several events honoring the nation’s 250th anniversary.

High US mortgage rates to keep housing market subdued: Reuters poll

2026-06-11T12:34:34.047Z / Reuters

BENGALURU, June 11 (Reuters) – High mortgage rates will keep turnover in U.S. residential housing subdued this year and next with very modest price rises, according to property specialists surveyed by Reuters, thwarting the Trump administration’s aim to revive the market.

The benchmark 30-year mortgage rate, which underpins most U.S. ​home loans, has hovered around 6.6% in recent months. That is much higher than the average 4.3% in the previous decade ‌and is not expected to fall meaningfully any time soon.

The Federal Reserve is no longer expected to cut interest rates this year, according to a separate Reuters poll of economists, while financial markets are pricing a December hike.

That suggests prospects for a market revival might be bleaker than the poll results suggest.

Median forecasts from the June 1 to June 11 survey ​showed the 30-year mortgage rate at 6.4% next quarter and 6.3% in the fourth. The 30-year mortgage rate is forecast to average more ​than 6.0% through 2028, roughly 25 basis points higher than in a survey taken three months ago.

Average home prices as measured ⁠by the S&P Cotality Case-Shiller 20-City Index were forecast to rise just 1.2% this year – even slower than last year’s 14-year low of 1.4% – and ​2.0% next, weaker than March forecasts and well below U.S. inflation.

(USSHPQ=ECI), opens new tab

“We’ve gotten to a point where it is becoming increasingly challenging for the typical American to ​get on the housing ladder,” said James Knightley, chief international economist at ING. “The average mortgage for a home purchase is about $460,000…meaning you’re paying nearly $3,000 per month – more than 50% of the median after-tax pay of the average American.”

“As a result, the number of transactions has remained very low. In fact, we have the same level of transactions today as we ​did during the 2007-08 global financial crisis. That really underscores how challenged the housing market currently is.”

Existing home sales, which make up 90% of total ​transactions, were forecast to be steady at an average annualized 4.1 million-unit rate this quarter and next before edging up to slightly below 4.2 million in the final quarter ‌of the ⁠year – well below the early 2021 peak of 6.6 million.

(USEHS=ECI), opens new tab

Mortgage rates have climbed roughly 50 basis points since the U.S. and Israeli war on Iran began in late February. Those have tracked the rise in benchmark 10-year Treasury bond yields on concerns that higher energy prices would boost consumer price inflation, which climbed to an annual 4.2% rate in May.

High mortgage rates and lofty home prices topped the poll’s list of hurdles for first-time buyers, with nearly two-thirds of analysts, or ​12 of 19, saying purchasing affordability would ​worsen over the coming year.

SLUGGISH ⁠MARKET

Average U.S. home prices are about 55% above where they were before the pandemic, far outpacing income growth over the same period.

“We expect the market to remain fairly depressed for much of this year, simply because of affordability issues ​in most regions. Home prices are still pretty elevated across many regions in the U.S. – as are mortgage rates,” ​said Sal Guatieri, a ⁠senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.

“But the market is still relatively tight, simply because many current owners are locked in place – sitting on much lower mortgage rates than they would get at the moment if they had to move and get a new one. So they’re reluctant to make that move.”

Crystal Sunbury, senior real estate ⁠analyst at ​RSM, agreed.

“Maybe people are willing to give up that 3% mortgage rate for a 5% ​one – but they’re not necessarily willing to do that for a 6-6.5% mortgage,” she said, adding neither new construction nor existing home sales would likely deliver a meaningful boost to supply either.

US Supreme Court rules against private suits brought under key securities law

WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court sided on Thursday with a group of investment funds affiliated with BlackRock
(BLK.N), opens new tab
and other asset managers in their bid to fend off certain lawsuits brought by private plaintiffs under a key federal securities law.

The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision fueled by its conservative majority, reversed a lower court’s ruling that let hedge fund Saba Capital Master Fund sue under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to void fund bylaws restricting the voting power of activist shareholders.

Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who authored the ruling, wrote that the Investment Company Act, or ICA, does not authorize private parties to bring suits seeking the rescission of bylaws or other contractual terms.

“In sum, nothing in the text or structure of the ICA indicates that Congress authorized private parties to enforce virtually every provision in the statute,” wrote Barrett, whose opinion was joined by her five fellow conservatives.

The court’s three liberal justices dissented.

(ADX.N), opens new tab
, Adams Natural Resources Fund

and Royce Global Trust

.

The investment funds at issue are so-called “closed-end funds,” which issue a fixed number of shares and frequently trade for less than the value of their underlying holdings. The funds, which are organized under Maryland law, adopted bylaw provisions that restrict the voting power of large shareholders.

Saba, a hedge fund managed by activist investor Boaz Weinstein that owns shares in the investment funds, brought legal challenges against 11 such funds.

It alleged that the disputed bylaw provisions violated part of the Investment Company Act requiring that each share carry equal voting power. It also argued that the law allows private parties – not just the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission – to bring suits seeking to void corporate bylaws or other contractual terms that violate the Investment Company Act.

A federal judge in New York sided with Saba, ruling in 2024 that the so-called “control share bylaws” violated the Investment Company Act and must be removed. The New York-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the judge’s ruling.

This prompted some of the funds to appeal to the Supreme Court, arguing that the Investment Company Act does not contain a so-called “private right of action” for such suits.

New US-Canada bridge opening delayed

WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) – A new $4.7 billion bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario that was set ​to open in the coming days has been delayed, a bridge authority ‌said on Thursday.

A formal ribbon-cutting had been planned for Friday for the Gordie Howe International Bridge, according to invitations seen by Reuters.

Get weekly news and analysis on U.S. politics and how it matters to the world with the Reuters Politics U.S. newsletter. Sign up here.

“Canada and the United States have agreed to delay the opening of ​the bridge, taking the necessary time to resolve any outstanding issues,” the ​Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority said.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the new ⁠bridge will benefit Canadians, Americans, business, tourists and residents for decades. “Everyone’s working hard ​to make sure the bridge is open as soon as possible. There’s no big ​drama if it takes a little longer, it’ll take a little longer,” Carney said.

The White House has not commented.

U.S. President Donald Trump in February threatened to block the opening.

Trump in February cited Canada’s ​refusal to stock some U.S. alcoholic beverages on Canadian store shelves, Canada’s tariffs on ​dairy products and its trade talks with China as grounds for why he might not allow the ‌bridge ⁠to open.

Construction of the bridge, which began in 2018, was financed by Canada because the U.S. refused to pay for it. The costs will be covered by tolls over 30 years.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said at a Senate hearing last week ​the department was “good ​to go” to ⁠staff the Gordie Howe bridge.

The new bridge will help ease truck traffic on the privately owned Ambassador Bridge into Detroit, the ​largest freight port on the U.S.-Canada border, which handled $126 billion of ​value traded ⁠by commercial trucks as of 2023.

It will cut 20 minutes off the crossing time, saving truckers $2.3 billion over 30 years, according to a University of Windsor study.

Trump has ⁠made a ​number of threats against Canada in his second ​term and drastically hiked tariffs on the U.S. northern neighbor and this week said he might not renew a ​free trade deal with Mexico and Canada.

五角大楼发言人帕内尔一度说，五角大楼内部系统“检测到空气质量问题，因此需要采取预防措施，直至确定​​其严重程度”。 （法新社）

（华盛顿综合电）美国五角大楼周四一度怀疑发生危险物质泄漏事件，大楼内部多个楼层和走廊被封锁，部分区域疏散了人员。但美国媒体过后又说这是一起虚假警报。

美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）周四（6月11日）率先报道这起危险物质泄漏事件，但过后又引述消息人士说，这其实是一场虚惊。

CNN早前的报道说，五角大楼二至五层以及部分走廊被封锁，多层楼人员被疏散，应急人员穿戴全套防毒面具和化学防护服。报道也引述五角大楼安全团队称，需要进行更多测试以确定问题的根源。

阿灵顿县消防救援部门也在社媒平台X上发布消息说，消防员正在调查五角大楼发生的一起危险物质泄漏事件。

五角大楼发言人帕内尔则在一封电子邮件中说：“五角大楼拥有先进的系统，以确保大楼及其人员的安全。这些系统检测到空气质量问题，因此需要采取预防措施，直到我们确定其严重程度。”

帕内尔也说：“国防部正在执行标准防护程序，包括对受影响区域发布就地避险令。应急小组已就位，随时准备为大楼内人员提供支持。”

五角大楼是世界上最大的办公楼之一，曾在2001年9月11日卡伊达组织恐怖袭击中遭到攻击。

重庆一名男子本周被曝光多次以领养名义对猫狗实施虐杀行为，罕见引发大批民众聚集抗议。重庆官方星期三（6月10日）通报，对这名男子行政拘留，但未平息众怒，网民持续要求严惩施虐者并推动动物保护立法。

分析指出，对动物待遇的关心是社会文明的表现，而对相关男子的处罚在现行法律框架内也具有合法性。中国对动物保护问题的定义和边界存在不少争议，目前难以制定统一标准，因此反虐待动物立法短期内恐难落地。

一名绰号为“山姆打包哥”的重庆李姓男子长期在社交媒体上，以“无偿领养”的方式骗取犬只再进行虐待，导致多只小动物死亡或失踪，有小狗牙齿被锯、尾巴被剪并伴有多处骨折。

男子虐狗事件本周曝光后，迅速在网上发酵，引起保护动物组织志愿者及市民连续多日聚集在男子居住的天赐龙都小区外抗议。

重庆市公安局江北分局大石坝派出所星期一（8日）以涉嫌高空抛物、损坏公共财物为由，对男子采取强制措施，但许多民众仍在小区外逗留，持续表达不满，据报一度引发警民冲突。

黎康：被称重的生命

网传视频显示，多名警员星期二（9日）到现场清场，一名年轻男子被按在地上。有消息称，当天多人被带走。

重庆市两江新区政府大石坝街道办事处星期二晚通报，公安机关已立案调查，三条小狗已送至爱心宠物医院和动物收容所救治及寄养。

重庆市公安局两江新区分局星期三晚再通报，警方根据治安管理处罚法行政拘留相关男子。

宠物爱好者彭女士告诉联合早报，她看到网传视频后，星期二下午便赶去现场声援志愿者。据她展示的照片，当晚现场约有100人，有穿制服的工作人员一字排开维持秩序，还有挂着工牌的人员对着抗议市民讲话。

对于处罚结果，彭女士认为太轻，对施虐行为没有起到警戒作用。

不过，自由职业者达达（化名）受访时说，由于没有动物保护法作依据，这个处理结果也在意料之中。

达达星期二凌晨前往小区外抗议时，现场已聚集数十人。达达形容，当时气氛友好安静，有志愿者分发餐食，大家还帮着收拾地上垃圾，“期间有工作人员召集几个志愿者了解情况，后来回到家看视频才发现，怎么变成这样了？”

据了解，相关区域星期四已被围栏挡住，小区大门也加强人员监管。

北京师范大学政府管理研究院教授唐任伍受访时说，此次事件涉及动物伦理，可看出一个社会的文明程度。从社会治理的角度看，相关部门依法做出了处罚，合情合理。

北京市京都律师事务所律师林斐然受访时说，相关处罚符合现有法律框架条款，但若还要提高处罚层级，在认定标准上很难达到。

中国社会呼吁反虐待动物立法多年，但至今没有一部专门法律。

林斐然说，中国现行法律将动物定性为“物”，属于财产的一种，立法上要考虑的因素有很多，包括如何平衡动物福利和主人财产处分权；是仅保护动物还是包括家禽家畜、农场动物？

他说：“这些问题都有争议，不同群体、地区对这些问题的认知差异较大，还没办法给出明确统一的答案。”

另一方面，唐任伍提到，小区外长期聚集抗议，也可能损害其他相关人群的利益。

林斐然说，小区外属公共场所，聚众行为可能侵害公共资源。驱散人群是一种管理手段，一般是阶梯渐进过程，“行为上建议以沟通疏导为主，避免发生肢体暴力冲突”。

半世纪家族传奇落幕 珍珠大厦“冠军皮鞋”下周歇业

2026年6月11日 23:48 / 联合早报

在珍珠大厦营业近52年的老字号“冠军皮鞋公司”，将于今年6月15日正式歇业。这段由两代人共同编织的本地制鞋传奇画上句点，超过半个世纪“足迹”也走到了尽头。

在家族皮鞋店奋斗了40年的老板娘蔡菊梅（70岁），在采访过程中虽然笑着，但言谈间仍流露出对这份跨越半个世纪家族心血的深切不舍。

蔡菊梅接手鞋店生意是在2021年父亲蔡东去世的五年前。当时父亲已年届九旬，因年事已高打算退休，眼看父亲倾注一生心血的招牌即将结业，65岁的蔡菊梅于心不忍，毅然接手，只为了留住这份珍贵的家族记忆。

这些珍贵的老照片，承载着“冠军皮鞋公司”的历史点滴，也凝聚了几代人的心血与温情记忆。（张俊杰摄）

蔡菊梅忆述，父亲20岁时便只身从马来西亚新山来到新加坡，在一间鞋厂从学徒做起。学成手艺后，他先在芽笼开设制鞋厂，生产由自己设计及制作的男装皮鞋，并在1970年在珍珠坊开设第一家店面。

至于店名“冠军”的由来，蔡菊梅笑着说，父亲早期经常搭公车将手制皮鞋分销给各大百货公司，“他的皮鞋设计美观且品质优良，大家逐渐开始称呼他为‘冠军’，叫久便成了招牌。”

巅峰时期开设七家分店

凭着精湛的手艺与货真价实的皮料，“冠军皮鞋”以极佳口碑迅速赢得顾客青睐。此后十年间，生意蒸蒸日上，巅峰时期在本地共开设七家分店，分布珍珠坊、珍珠大厦、幸运商业中心，以及远东商业中心。

蔡菊梅回忆道，生意红火的那几年，她与五名弟妹都得到芽笼鞋厂帮忙，经常忙到凌晨时分。父亲为人正直，对鞋子的质量要求极高，他的坚持也赢得众多代理商的信任，鞋店不久便开始引入英国其乐（Clarks）和德国勃肯（Birkenstock）等知名品牌。

然而，随着时代变迁、零售业转型，以及员工难请的困境，使得鞋店在过去数十年间逐渐缩减业务规模，最终仅剩1974年开业的珍珠大厦门店。

2021年接手店面后，蔡菊梅和丈夫陈安余（69岁）坚守老店，直到去年7月父亲过世，蔡菊梅才开始重新思考人生，最后决定歇业。

蔡菊梅感叹：“父亲的离世，就好像一个时代的终结，毕竟，这是他艰苦打拼了一辈子、一手创造的家业。”

蔡菊梅的两名女儿都已30多岁，有各自的生活，对经营鞋店不感兴趣，而她也不想给孩子增添负担。在鞋店工作了一辈子的蔡菊梅坦言，自己从未真正好好享受过生活，希望趁现在身体依然硬朗，退休后多出去走走，参加感兴趣的活动。

记者星期四（6月11日）走访店面时，发现蔡菊梅的妹妹蔡菊清（65岁）也在店内帮忙。得知鞋店即将歇业，许多老顾客纷纷赶来，店里客流如织，恍如回到昔日最辉煌的时光。

68岁的顾客黄吉美受访时说，自己是在社媒上看到歇业的消息后，特地赶来支持，顺便买些合适的鞋子。她说，这里的鞋子设计相当独特，而且款式多样。“歇业真的很可惜，但老板娘为鞋店忙了一辈子，是时候退休享受生活了。”

顾客数十年如一日的支持，令蔡菊梅满怀感激。她动容道：“我由衷感谢父亲当年的付出，是他长期的奔波劳碌，成就了我们这一代。我希望顾客在记住‘冠军皮鞋’品牌的同时，也能记住父亲创业的坚持和他的人生故事。”

美伊连续两天交火 特朗普恫言升级打击占领伊朗石油命脉

2026年6月11日 23:34 / 联合早报

（德黑兰/迪拜/华盛顿综合电）美国与伊朗连续两天互相发动空袭，本就脆弱的临时停火协议愈发岌岌可危。美国总统特朗普再次警告要对伊朗发动“非常猛烈的打击”，并恫言占领伊朗的关键石油枢纽哈尔克岛和其他石油基础设施。

美军中央司令部星期四（6月11日）凌晨对伊朗发动数小时的空袭，共发射49枚“战斧”导弹。

伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队随后宣称做出反击，袭击科威特和巴林境内的18个美军空军基地，以及驻巴林的美国海军第五舰队。

它还声称，再度袭击约旦的阿兹拉克美国空军基地，发射12枚弹道导弹。约旦军方则称，拦截了20枚从伊朗发射的导弹。

这是美伊连续两天互相袭击。这轮敌对行动的导火线是星期一（8日），美军的一架阿帕奇直升机在霍尔木兹海峡附近被击落，一系列针对伊朗境内以及中东美国基地的连环报复袭击随之引爆。

美军说，最新的袭击针对“伊朗全境的军事监视能力、通信系统和防空阵地”，旨在回应德黑兰的“无端和持续侵略”。

美军还在阿曼湾击沉了本周来的第三艘油轮。美军中央司令部指称，这艘油轮悬挂西非国家几内亚比绍的国旗，试图突破美军封锁线以运送伊朗石油。

另据印度海运部，一艘悬挂帕劳国旗的货轮星期三（10日）在阿曼湾附近遭美军击中，三名印籍船员失踪后已确认遇难。

特朗普星期四说，他接到伊朗官员的电话，要求他停止袭击。不过，伊方否认有此事。

特朗普恫言占领哈尔克岛 ：就像对委内瑞拉那样

特朗普告诉福克斯新闻，如果伊朗拒绝签署停战协议，“我们明天就把他们炸个稀巴烂”。

他星期四也在社媒发贴说：“美国今晚会对伊朗进行非常猛烈的打击。伊朗的海军、空军、雷达、防空系统，以及所有其他形式的防御力量，连同大部分的进攻能力，都已不复存在！”

他甚至说，美国不久就会占领伊朗经济命脉哈尔克岛和其他石油基础设施，并完全控制伊朗石油和天然气市场，“就像我们对委内瑞拉所做的那样”。

哈尔克岛承担着伊朗约九成的原油出口，要攻占这个伊朗势必誓死保卫的枢纽须面对重大风险，且需要部署地面军队。

特朗普向福克斯新闻坦承，占领这个岛屿是他的首选，但他不确定美国民众是否想要这么做。“我想，大家更希望我们回家。”

美伊空袭波及广泛 地区多国遭殃

美国最新的空袭行动主要针对伊朗南部，但革命卫队说，北部首都德黑兰附近的其他地点也遭袭，包括卡拉季（Karaj）、纳扎拉巴德（Nazarabad）和皮什瓦（Pishva）。

伊朗外交部星期四较后时间发表声明，强烈谴责美国对伊朗发动新一轮军事打击。

声明指美国在过去数小时内针对伊朗实施的军事行动，违反《联合国宪章》，并使停火失去意义。德黑兰认为，由此引发的一切后果须由美国政府承担。

伊朗同时敦促区内国家履行义务，防止本国领土被用于针对伊朗的军事行动。

局势紧张难乐观 区域国家仍坚持调解

尽管局势升温，巴基斯坦政府的调解工作没有中断。巴国外交部发言人说：“我们没有失去希望，仍在积极参与。让我们不要将巴基斯坦的调解努力拒于门外。”

另一外交官向法新社透露，卡塔尔代表团星期三在德黑兰与伊朗官员会谈一整夜，隔天早上离开，这些讨论“是在同美国协调之下进行”。
