王石针对被抓传闻发律师声明：将启动法律追责

2026年4月15日 07:12 / 联合早报

中国房地产巨头万科集团创始人王石据传被抓后，他不仅出面驳斥传闻，也在星期二（4月14日）委托律师发布声明，称该传闻是恶意捏造的虚假信息，并将正式启动法律追责程序。

综合财联社和凤凰网财经报道，香港卫视综合台台长秦枫星期天（4月12日）傍晚在微博爆料称“王石被抓”， 随后在评论区继续说：“退休不是护身符，早晚的事，官不官宣都视工作需要而定……露面也不一定没被控制。”

这一消息迅速引发关注。王石的妻子田朴珺当晚连发两条微博辟谣，“这是法治社会，造谣是不需要付出代价的吗”，又强调“我们必将通过法律途径追究到底，绝不姑息”。

王石本人随后也发文说：“看来大家比我本人还关心我的动态。一切安好，造谣者交给法律。”

据观察者网报道，王石星期二委托律师发布声明指出，“王石被抓”纯属恶意捏造的虚假信息，与客观事实完全不符。截至声明发布之日，王石一切正常，人身自由不受任何限制，工作与生活秩序井然，不存在任何被司法机关采取强制措施、限制人身自由的情形。

谈王石被抓传闻 胡锡进：望舆论对过气老企业家口下留情

声明称，关于“因万科经营亏损被追责”的虚假传言。王石自2017年6月起已卸任万科董事会主席，不再参与公司日常经营与管理决策。万科所有经营事项均由其董事会及管理层独立负责。将企业经营状况与委托人个人进行不当关联、编造“被追责的谣言”，纯属主观臆断、恶意抹黑。王石不存在任何因经营问题被司法机关追责的情形。

声明也提到，王石是中国改革开放后第一代民营企业家标杆人物，深耕实业四十余载，创办并带领万科成为行业典范。其始终恪守法治精神与商业伦理，在推动行业规范发展、践行社会公益、促进民营经济健康成长等方面作出重要贡献，社会声誉与公众影响力有目共睹。

随着万科近年经营出现动荡，王石多次遭传失联或被抓，今年1月便曾出现失联传闻，王石当时通过他的视频号发布自己的骑行视频，侧面进行回应。

针对外界这次再传王石被抓，中国官媒《环球时报》前总编辑胡锡进星期天晚上在社媒发文称，王石是参与定义了中国改革开放的那批企业家之一，“我的愿望是他没事，能够平安落地”。

胡锡进说，如果王石确实有事，国家法律自会找上门去，并称一些人好像盼着王石出事一样，希望舆论中人“对这位‘过气的’老企业家口下留情”。

Chevron executive Andy Walz suggests Americans should drive less amid high gas prices

April 14, 2026 / 7:45 PM EDT / CBS News

As gas prices continue to soar in the U.S. and across the globe amid the war with Iran, Chevron executive Andy Walz suggested Americans could save money by driving less and trying to conserve energy.

“People should try to drive less. They should try to conserve energy,” Walz told CBS News when asked how Americans could try saving money at the pump. “We should be doing that all the time. Energy’s essential for people’s lives, but we should conserve it.”

Since the start of the war at the end of February, ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, which carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil and gas supply, has been greatly diminished. As a result, the price of Brent crude, the international benchmark, has spiked, hovering around $100 a barrel in recent weeks.

Walz, Chevron’s president of downstream, midstream and chemicals, said there’s probably no “silver bullet” to help bring down prices for Americans over the long term while oil prices remain high for everyone else.

“It’s a global market for crude,” Walz said. “We have crude here, that’s closer to us, that we’re all processing and using. That’s helping Americans buffer their price. … If this goes on for an extended period of time, it’s probably gonna get tougher.”

Walz also warned of possible supply chain issues if the crisis continues.

“America is more reliant on local production, but there’s countries in Asia and other parts of the world that rely heavily on Middle East crude,” he said. “They can’t get it. They can’t refine it. They can’t make the products people need, and they’re starting to run out. And that is a real problem. We’re worried about price here. There’s other countries that don’t have the products. And to me, that is a big worry.”

一个工人权益组织称，已发现中国电动车巨头比亚迪的匈牙利新工厂存在违反劳动法规的证据。比亚迪计划在本季度于该厂开始大规模生产汽车。

据彭博社报道，总部位于纽约的非营利组织“中国劳工观察”星期二（4月14日）在官网发布报告称，调查发现一些受分包商和招聘机构雇用的中国劳工，涉及债务束缚、签证违规使用以及长时间高强度工作等情况。

比亚迪未回应多次置评请求。中国劳工观察说，在接获一名来自比亚迪匈牙利工厂的举报人投诉后，已于去年10月和11月展开实地调查，并访谈了50名工人。

中国劳工观察称，在塞格德发现当地存在多层中介参与的用工体系，将财务风险转嫁给劳动者。受访员工称，普遍存在每周七天工作、轮班时间超过法定时限及加班上限的情况。

这份报告发布之际，比亚迪正加快全球扩张步伐。位于匈牙利南部城市塞格德的工厂，是比亚迪在欧盟的首个大型汽车制造基地。

彭博社引述知情者透露，比亚迪管理层在3月30日的分析师简报会上说，公司有信心在2026年实现150万辆的出口量，这一数字高于比亚迪1月公布的130万辆海外销量目标。

比亚迪正面临中国国内销量放缓与剧烈市场竞争的挑战，公司3月27日公布的年报显示，2025年净利下跌18.97%至326.19亿元人民币（60.8亿新元），是四年来首次出现全年净利下滑。

比亚迪正依靠海外市场的增长来弥补国内销量的下滑，这家全球最大电动汽车制造商在2025年的最大亮点是出口业务，全年出口逾104万辆，同比增长1.4倍。

Trump blasts close ally Meloni, says she’s failing US on Iran

Meloni also confirmed Italy suspended its defense cooperation agreement with Israel amid Middle East tensions

NATO allies have ‘abandoned’ their responsibilities as US allies, former Israeli ambassador says

Former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren discusses President Donald Trump’s criticism of NATO allies for refusing to support a U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz on ‘America Reports.’

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

Tensions between Donald Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni escalated Tuesday after the U.S. president publicly rebuked one of his closest European allies, accusing her of lacking “courage” and failing to support Washington’s efforts against Iran.

In a phone interview with Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera, Trump called Meloni “unacceptable” and said he was “shocked” by her stance, according to the outlet’s English-language version.

The dispute with Trump was further fueled by Meloni’s criticism of his recent remarks targeting Pope Leo XIV, which she called “unacceptable,” prompting Trump to respond that “she is the one who is unacceptable.”

In a scathing rebuke of the Vatican’s call for Middle Eastern de-escalation, President Trump took to Truth Social to blast Pope Leo XIV. Labeling the pontiff “WEAK on Crime” and “terrible for Foreign Policy,” Trump warned him to “focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician.” The post, which quickly went viral, accused the first American pope of “catering to the Radical Left” at the expense of global security.

In the interview to Corriere della Sera Trump also reiterated criticism of Pope Leo, saying the pontiff “has no idea what’s going on in Iran” and “doesn’t understand” what is at stake.

She “isn’t giving us any help, I’m shocked by her,” Trump said about Meloni in the six-minute conversation.

He went further, accusing Meloni of relying on Washington while refusing to act.

“They depend on Donald Trump to keep it open,” he said, referring to global energy routes through the Strait of Hormuz.

The comments mark a sharp shift in tone toward Meloni, who attended Trump’s 2025 inauguration and was praised by him as “a great leader” just weeks ago.

The White House and Meloni’s office did not immediately respond.

The public rift comes as Meloni has begun distancing herself from both Washington and Jerusalem amid mounting domestic and political pressure over the widening Middle East conflict.

On Tuesday, Meloni confirmed in a statement that Italy had suspended the automatic renewal of a long-standing defense cooperation agreement with Israel, signaling a significant recalibration in ties.

“In light of the current situation, the government has decided to suspend the automatic renewal of the defence agreement with Israel,” she said, according to Reuters.

The move follows recent tensions between Rome and Jerusalem, including Israeli warning shots fired near Italian troops serving in southern Lebanon under a U.N. mandate, as well as growing Italian criticism of Israeli military operations in the region.

Israel downplayed the impact of the decision, saying the agreement was largely symbolic and “has never contained any substantive content,” Reuters reported.

In Israel, opposition leader Yair Lapid sharply criticized the government following Italy’s move.

“Italy’s decision to suspend the defense cooperation agreement with Israel is another embarrassing failure of the prime minister and the non-existent foreign minister,” Lapid wrote on X.

“Meloni is not a left-wing progressive European leader,” she added. “She belongs to the conservative right and understands the need to fight terrorism.”

Meloni’s shift reflects what analysts describe as a broader political repositioning, as the war’s economic fallout, particularly rising energy costs, weighs heavily on Italy’s import-dependent economy and public opinion.

Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani defended Meloni, reaffirming Italy’s alliance with the United States while emphasizing that cooperation must be grounded in “loyalty, respect and mutual frankness.”

The escalating tensions highlight growing fractures within Western alliances as the U.S.-led confrontation with Iran reverberates across Europe, forcing leaders like Meloni to balance strategic partnerships with domestic political realities.

Justice Department moves to dismiss Proud Boys and Oath Keepers’ seditious conspiracy convictions

The Justice Department moved to dismiss the seditious conspiracy convictions of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers members Tuesday, undoing one of the Biden administration’s most celebrated victories against those who it said inspired the January 6, 2021, attack on American democracy.

If a judge approves the dismissals, it would erase the most serious convictions from the sprawling investigation of the US Capitol riot, one of the largest federal investigations in US history.

President Donald Trump has long lambasted the January 6 prosecutions as an injustice against his supporters, even referring to those in jail as “hostages.”

On his first day in office, Trump issued pardons to over 1,000 people convicted in the attack — every defendant except for 14 people, each of whom had their sentences commuted. One of those people was pardoned in March 2025,and the department now says twelve others — eight members and associates of the Oath Keepers and four from the Proud Boys — should have their convictions dismissed.

Dismissing the convictions would also be a major blow to the Biden Justice Department, which across three trials had argued that the attack on the US Capitol was more than just a political protest that got out of control, but rather a violent attack on democracy and an effort to keep Joe Biden out of the Oval Office by any means necessary.

Xochitl Hinojosa, the former director of the DOJ’s Office of Public Affairs under Biden, said the Trump administration’s move “gave yet another nod to individuals who conspired against the United States government, stormed the Capitol on January 6th, and brutally attacked law enforcement.”

“This is a slap in the face to the American people and American democracy,” Hinojosa, who is now a CNN commentator, said in a statement.

The defendants whose convictions may be dismissed are Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes and associates Kelly Meggs, Kenneth Harrelson, Jessica Watkins, Roberto Minuta, Edward Vallejo, Joseph Hackett, and David Moerschel; and Proud Boys associates Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola.

A spokesperson for US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro’s office declined to comment.

CNN is reaching out to attorneys for the defendants.

Nick Smith, who represents Nordean, told CNN that he is “grateful” to the DOJ for moving to vacate his client’s conviction.

“It is good for everyone of all political persuasions that sedition charges are not used for protests that turn into riots,” Smith said.

After the attack in the waning days of Trump’s first administration, the Justice Department and FBI launched a nationwide manhunt to identify and arrest rioters, which quickly turned into the biggest criminal probe in US history. Prosecutors charged more than 1,580 people and secured roughly 1,270 convictions.

Trump left office just two weeks after the riot and has since repeatedly called January 6 “a day of love and peace” and claimed his supporters posed “zero threat.” His comments are belied by hundreds of video clips of Trump supporters beating police with flagpoles, batons, wooden clubs and baseball bats, deploying stun guns and chemical sprays, and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with police officers.

美国财政部3月20日发布伊朗石油制裁豁免，允许约1亿4000万桶石油流入全球市场。这项豁免将于4月19日到期。 （路透社）

路透社星期二（4月14日）引述两名美国政府官员的话报道，美国不会延长4月19日到期、对伊朗海上石油的30天制裁豁免。

美国官员透露，一项针对俄罗斯石油的类似制裁豁免已在上周末悄然到期。

其中一名美国官员说，这说明美国财政部将向伊朗“全力推进经济怒火行动”（Economic Fury）。这个“怒火”用词明显与美国向伊朗发动的“史诗怒火”行动相呼应。

特朗普政府长期以来说，美国对伊朗核计划以及它对中东地区武装组织的支持给予“极限施压”，尽管受制裁的伊朗石油仍继续流入中国。

美国财长贝森特上月说，美国财政部3月20日发布的豁免，允许约1亿4000万桶伊朗石油流入全球市场，有助缓解美以伊战争期间的能源供应压力。这项豁免将于4月19日到期。消息人士称，美国并没有续签4月11日到期的俄罗斯海上石油豁免。

这意味着，特朗普政府利用制裁豁免来释放更多石油供应、降低自美以伊战争爆发后全球能源价格飙升的争议性措施将不会延长。

美国两党议员都曾抨击政府，这些制裁豁免实际上是让伊朗和俄罗斯经济得益。

不过，其中一名消息人士说，华盛顿有一系列惩罚措施，可以针对与伊朗进行非法活动，例如购买伊朗石油的机构，包括次级制裁。

他说：“除此以外，联合国对伊朗恢复制裁，加上伊朗试图以看似合法的活动为幌子进行非法行为的历史，与德黑兰的任何活动都可能触发额外的制裁。”

一名消息人士称，美国财政部14日加大了对一些国家和政府的施压。这些国家和政府所在的银行被美国指控协助资金流入伊朗。美国财政部已致函中国、香港、阿拉伯联合酋长国、阿曼，指明了允许伊朗进行非法活动的银行。

Historians suing Trump administration say National Archives won’t commit to preserving presidential records during lawsuit

The historians who are suing over the Trump administration’s eschewal of a Watergate-era records retention law for presidential documents said Tuesday that the National Archives won’t agree not to destroy those records while their case is litigated.

The American Historical Association is seeking an emergency court order in a lawsuit it filed last week in the wake of a Justice Department memo that said the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional.

The Presidential Records Act requires presidents and their staff to preserve White House records and turn those records over to the National Archives at the end of their administrations.

The law was instrumental in the chain of events that led to President Donald Trump’s prosecution for allegedly mishandling classified documents that he took from the White House at the end of his first term.

Earlier this month, a Justice Department office that gives legal advice to the executive branch said it had concluded the law was unconstitutional. The opinion, from the Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel, told the president he was no longer obligated to comply with it.

In filings Tuesday, the historians — who are being joined in the case by the left-leaning government transparency group American Oversight — said that, absent a court intervention, presidential records they intend to use for their research “will be irretrievably lost.”

“DOJ has no authority to direct the President to ignore a constitutionally-compliant statute, and its instruction that the President may do so violates the separation of powers,” the challengers wrote.

A lawyer for the plaintiffs had reached out to the Justice Department seeking assurances that presidential records wouldn’t be destroyed while the case played out, according to the filings. The Justice Department said that it could not agree to those stipulations because it was “not yet in a position to make additional representations about the Government’s approach to those issues,” according to an email exchange included in the filings.

Specifically, the challengers had asked the National Archives to agree that it would not destroy records it maintains under the law. They also wanted an agreement that the Archives would continue to make presidential documents from prior administrations — including the first Trump term — available for public records request, as contemplated by the Presidential Records Act.

They asked for assurances that White House staff will preserve documents covered under the law and that administration personnel would also follow the law’s requirements for preserving communications sent on messaging apps like Signal and WhatsApp.

Neither the Justice Department nor the National Archives immediately responded to CNN request for comment. The White House referred CNN to the DOJ on the latest filings. The White House previously said that Trump “is committed to preserving records from his historic Administration and he will maintain a rigorous records retention program.”

“Staff should retain materials that reflect the performance of their duties, establish an administrative record, are of historical significance, or may be needed in litigation,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in an April 3 statement that stopped short of committing that those documents would eventually be handed over to the National Archives.

“The administration is already discussing with NARA how to move forward,” she said, referring to the National Archives.

The classified documents prosecution against Trump was shut down after he won reelection in 2024, and while a ruling dismissing the charges was still on appeal. Trump’s bitter feelings towards the National Archives apparently continued, and he fired the Archivist that in place when he returned to the White House last year, even though she did not take the role until after the classified documents investigation.

The historians are now seeking a preliminary court order that would block the destruction of presidential records and that would require White House staff to preserve on official channels any communications related to their duties that are sent on encrypted messaging apps.

US District Judge Beryl Howell quickly ordered that the parties come up with a briefing schedule for her to consider the request.

DOJ moves to dismiss Jan. 6 convictions against former Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, including seditious conspiracy charges

The Justice Department on Tuesday asked a federal court to vacate Jan. 6 convictions against a dozen former members of the right-wing Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, most of whom were convicted of seditious conspiracy — aiming to wipe away some of the final Capitol riot charges that are still standing.

Hours after returning to office last year, President Trump issued pardons for almost everybody convicted in connection with the Jan. 6 riot. But 14 people — including the 12 referenced by the Justice Department on Tuesday — instead had their sentences commuted to time served, allowing them to leave prison while leaving their convictions in place.

The 12 include Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers and one of the higher-profile Jan. 6 defendants. At the time of his conviction, prosecutors said Rhodes and other members of his group “began plotting to oppose by force the lawful transfer of presidential power” after Mr. Trump lost the 2020 election. On the day of the riot, Rhodes “coordinated activities” as a group of Oath Keepers marched on the Capitol, the Justice Department said.

Rhodes was sentenced to 18 years in prison for seditious conspiracy and other charges.

Also included are four Proud Boys who were convicted for their role in the Jan. 6 attack. Those include Ethan Nordean, one of the far-right group’s leaders, who was sentenced to 18 years in prison after being convicted of seditious conspiracy alongside Joseph Biggs and Zachary Rehl.

A fourth Proud Boy whose conviction the Justice Department is trying to vacate, Dominic Pezzola, became one of the more recognizable faces of the attempted insurrection after video showed him smashing a Capitol window with a riot shield. He was convicted of assaulting or resisting officers, robbery involving government property, obstruction and other charges.

The Justice Department said at the time that Nordean and Pezzola “participated in every consequential breach at the Capitol,” leading a group of Proud Boys onto the Capitol grounds, resulting in the dismantling of barricades, breaching of the Capitol building, assaults on police and destruction of property.

In three separate cases where the 12 rioters had appealed their convictions, the Justice Department on Tuesday asked for federal appeals panels to vacate lower court judgments with prejudice, meaning the cases could not be brought again.

“In the Executive Branch’s view, it is not in the interests of justice to continue to prosecute this case or the cases of other, similarly situated defendants,” federal prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Columbia wrote in one filing signed by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. Prosecutors wrote that the defendants’ attorneys didn’t oppose the motions.

Pirro’s office declined to comment on the filings, and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Not included in the initial batch of motions on Tuesday evening was Thomas Caldwell, who authorities said assisted the Oath Keepers, and Jeremy Bertino, a former Proud Boy leader who pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy charges against him in 2022. Caldwell, who was acquitted of seditious conspiracy but convicted on other counts, was separately pardoned by Mr. Trump in March 2025.

Last year, Trump-allied lawyer Peter Ticktin asked top Justice Department officials to consider granting full pardons to the remaining Jan. 6 riot defendants who were not given full clemency by Mr. Trump. Ticktin told CBS News last year he had been working on behalf of Rhodes, as well as Biggs, Nordean, Rehl and Pezzola.

Tuesday’s filings mark an attempt by the Justice Department to dismantle some of the final remnants of the Jan. 6 probe, which was the largest investigation in the department’s history.

Upwards of 1,500 people were arrested in connection with the riot, most of whom had been convicted or pleaded guilty to charges ranging from trespassing to assaulting police officers. More than 700 defendants completed their sentences or did not receive sentences of incarceration. Over 170 people were accused of using a deadly or dangerous weapon against police officers, such as a fire extinguisher or bear spray.

Mr. Trump has long decried the prosecutions, calling the defendants “hostages” who he claims were mostly innocent and treated “viciously” in prison. In some cases, he has sought to rewrite the events of Jan. 6, calling it a “day of love” prompted by his unproven claims of voter fraud, and referring to some of the assaults on police as “very minor incidents.”

以色列和黎巴嫩星期二（4月14日）举行了30多年来首次高级别会谈。尽管以色列驻美大使称此举是“理性的胜利”，但官员们淡化了结束与黎巴嫩真主党战争的希望。

美国国务卿鲁比奥、美驻黎大使伊萨以及黎以两国驻美大使14日在华盛顿举行三方会谈后，美国国务院发表声明说，与会方一致同意，将在黎以双方商定的时间和地点正式启动两国直接谈判。

当天会谈持续两个小时。美方称，这是自1993年以来以黎政府间首次举行重要高级别接触。

声明说，美国支持以黎双方开展进一步会谈，以最终促成一项全面的和平协议。美方强调，任何以黎停火协议都“必须由两国政府直接达成”，由美国居中斡旋，而不能通过任何其他渠道进行。

声明暗示，以方在会谈中表示支持解除黎巴嫩真主党武装，承诺与黎政府合作实现这一目标。以方还承诺通过直接谈判解决所有悬而未决的问题，并实现“持久和平”。

黎巴嫩重申，当前迫切需要全面落实2024年11月达成的黎以停火协议。黎方强调领土完整与国家完全主权的基本原则，并呼吁实现停火，同时采取切实措施应对并缓解国家因持续冲突而遭受的严重人道主义危机。

以色列驻美大使莱特在会谈后说，黎巴嫩政府和以方对待真主党的立场“相同”。他说，会谈形成了“若干建议”，双方向各自政府提交后，很可能“在接下来几周内重新召开会议，继续在华盛顿进行讨论”。

路透社报道，莱特告诉记者，黎方在会谈中表明不再希望被真主党“占领”，双方还讨论了划定明确边界的长期愿景。

另据新华社报道，黎巴嫩驻美大使穆阿瓦德说，当天是“初步”会谈，具建设性，与以方进行下次直接会谈的日期和地点将“在适当时候公布”。

彭博社分析指，由于真主党未参与14日会谈，以色列放松对黎巴嫩军事行动的希望不大。

真主党获伊朗支持，黎巴嫩战事持续可能削弱美国总统特朗普缓和与伊朗冲突的努力。自美国和伊朗于4月7日达成为期两周的停火协议以来，以色列加大了行动力度。

黎巴嫩和以色列两国没有建立外交关系。

American flag maker, others settle US lawsuits alleging bogus ‘Made in the USA’ claims

April 14, 2026 5:40 PM UTC / Reuters

By Jonathan Stempel

April 14 (Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Trade Commission said it settled three lawsuits accusing companies of falsely claiming their products were made in the United States, including a case against a seller of American flags sourced from China.

Tuesday’s settlements were announced one month after U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing the FTC to prioritize enforcement cases against companies that target patriotic consumers with bogus “Made in America” or “Made in the USA” claims.

The FTC said Americana Liberty will reimburse $167,743 to consumers after the Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based company claimed that its China-sourced flag products, which also include flagpoles and military flags, were “Made in the USA,” “All-American Made” or “Built by Americans for Americans.”

A lawyer for Americana Liberty declined to comment.

The FTC said it also settled with TouchTunes Music, a New York-based maker of electronic dart boards with components from four non-U.S. countries, and Oak Street Bootmakers, a Chicago-based maker of footwear with materials from the Dominican Republic and Brazil. They will provide $625,000 and $75,000, respectively, to consumers.

None of the defendants admitted or denied wrongdoing in agreeing to settle.
