The following is the transcript of the interview with National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett that aired on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” on March 15, 2026.

*

MARGARET BRENNAN: We go now to President Trump’s top economic adviser, Kevin Hassett. Good morning to you.

KEVIN HASSETT, DIRECTOR NATIONAL ECONOMIC COUNCIL: Good morning.

MARGARET BRENNAN: The IDF spokesperson said this morning that Israel’s combat operations will go through the beginning of April. Is that also the U.S. timeline? And if so, how much will this conflict cost the economy if it goes on another three and a half weeks?

HASSETT: Right. Well, one of the things that we’ve been briefed on almost every day is what’s going on and what the president is being briefed on with regard to the Iran war. And as of yesterday this story was- the message was that people, the defense- Department of War believed that it would take four to six weeks to complete this mission and that we’re ahead of schedule. So we are a couple of weeks in and I think that should give you some clarity about when we expect that the president will decide that we’ve achieved his objectives. The other thing I can say is that you can also look at futures markets, which are interesting because you’ve cited over and over the spot price of gasoline, which, of course, is affected right now by the disruption of the strait, but if you look at the futures prices, they are expecting a rapid, rapid end to the situation and much, much lower prices. In fact, I don’t think I’ve seen a sort of future price path with such a steep decline in all my years watching futures.

MARGARET BRENNAN: We will talk about the oil trade later on in the program, as those markets prepare to open later today, but the International Energy Agency called this the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market. So I’m not sure how much past charts are a future indicator here, but the president is calling on other countries now to send ships to help protect the Strait of Hormuz. You just heard Iran’s foreign minister saying Tehran has been approached by other countries about negotiating their way through strait. If that kind of negotiation happens, are Americans just going to get cut out here?

HASSETT: Well, first of all, you have to understand that America is not going to have its economy harmed by what the Iranians are doing. The bottom line is that in the ’70s we didn’t produce much oil, but now we do. So America is in a very strong position. They think that they’re going to harm the U.S. economy and get President Trump to back down. There couldn’t be anything that was a stupider thing to say because the bottom line is that our economy has got all this momentum in the world and we’ve got lots and lots of oil. We have lots of trading partners that are more on the hook from imported oil from these guys. And as we can see, it’s completely unacceptable that a government that would, you know, murder 40,000 of their people just a few months ago would be blackmailing countries to let stuff through. President Trump thinks that is unacceptable and for the global economy we need to fix it and we are going to fix it fast.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Okay. It is a global market, but I take your point there is supply of course, there’s refining, there’s other interruptions to the ability to access oil and gas. But gas prices themselves are up more than 20% since this conflict has begun. Jet fuel prices are leading airlines to raise ticket prices quickly. That’s not my opinion, that’s the United Airlines CEO who just said that. The American Farm Bureau warned of supply chain shocks when we already have record high input prices. So can you give us some kind of projection here on how this will impact consumer prices and for how long?

HASSETT: For sure. And I want you to know that this is something that the government has been studying for decades. And even myself, when I first came in as Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers one of the first assignments I got from General Mattis was to study what happens if there are oil disruptions. And so we know how to minimize- minimalize the impact of this disruption. Now, you can’t make it completely go away but you can minimal-ize it. And so we are increasing the amount of permits that we’re giving to Venezuela, we’re getting new sources of fertilizer from Morocco and from Venezuela and other places to make sure that our farmers have the fertilizer they need. And we’re even thinking ahead about the jet fuel problem which is really mostly a problem for jet fuel coming from Asia. And we have been in discussions to make it easier for foreign ships to go from the Gulf of America over to the west coast to make sure that we don’t have a disruption from jet fuel as well. And so we are looking at every scenario and we’ve got a plan for each scenario.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Okay. Are you going to trigger those things and make them operational or are you just looking at them? And how do you prevent food prices from also going up?

HASSETT: Right. Well, the big problem right now would be energy prices and we’re watching and monitoring closely. We’re looking at things every day and seeing how quickly we progress. The bottom line is again, that the reason why futures markets for oil are dropping down towards 60 and even below 50 in the long run is that we expect that if Iran stops being this disruptive terrorist force in the Middle East that there will be a boom in oil production and industrial production. But think about the harm- the harm that this evil government has done to their own people. Back in the ’70s before the revolution, Iran was the 17th largest economy in the world, now it’s something like the 50th.

MARGARET BRENNAN: No one’s going to defend the regime’s human rights record on this program.

HASSETT: They’ve run- they’ve run their country into the ground- but the point is that- I wanted to just say that the countries around them, they also suffer from the risk of having them go nuts and attack them. And so we expect that the global economy is going to have a big positive shock as soon as this is over and we’re still being briefed that it would be four to six weeks from the beginning and that we are ahead of schedule.

MARGARET BRENNAN: A big positive shock, four to six weeks. So this a April 9th scenario you’re talking about? You are going to see some kind of boost–

HASSETT: The president will decide.

MARGARET BRENNAN: –even–

HASSETT: The president will decide if they no longer have the capability of blackmailing us and harming our neighbors. And once he decides that, then he will call an end to the war.

MARGARET BRENNAN: That’s a pretty broad definition.

HASSETT: Well, we’ve destroyed their navy, we’ve destroyed their air force and so on and so I think we are well on the way.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Well tell me how much is this war going to cost? Because I know the Pentagon briefed it’s going to be about $11.3 billion. Do you need to ask congress for more money to pay for what you’re doing?

HASSETT: I think right now we’ve got what we need, whether we have to go back to congress for more is something that I think that Russ Vought and OMB will look into, but the latest number, you said 11.3, the latest number I was briefed on was 12, and so it’s consistent. So this is something that we’ve got the weapons that we’ve already got in place to do this and so we are not necessarily going to need any kind of supplemental.

MARGARET BRENNAN: More than that was spent in just the first week of the war, you know that. It was over five billion just in munitions. You’re solid on the 12?

HASSETT: I said $12 billion–

MARGARET BRENNAN: –For six weeks of war?

HASSETT: No, I’m sorry. The 12 billion was what I was briefed has been spent so far.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Gotcha. Kevin Hassett. Thank you very much. We we will be right back with a lot more ‘Face the Nation’

The following is the transcript of the interview with Sen. Mark Warner, Democrat of Virginia, that aired on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” on March 15, 2026.

*

MARGARET BRENNAN: We turn now to the vice chairman of the Intelligence Committee, Democratic Senator Mark Warner. He joins us this morning from Richmond, Virginia. Senator, a lot to ask you about in regard to Iran, but I want to start first on the homeland. We had several attacks, two being investigated as terror incidents here at home. Do we still have the senator? Okay, sorry. Glad he can still hear me. The incidents here at home, including one in Virginia at Old Dominion University, the gunman had served several years in prison for trying to support ISIS. He walked into an Army ROTC class and he shot the instructor dead. He injured two others. How does a convicted ISIS supporter do this right under the nose of law enforcement?

Whose job was it to track him?

SEN. MARK WARNER (D-VA): Well, Margaret, I think the job was supposed to be the FBI. And unfortunately, under this FBI director, Kash Patel, he has fired many of the top counterterrorism folks, counterespionage folks. And he has taken, and I reported this many times, close to a third of our FBI officers off doing counterterrorism or doing sex crimes and put them on immigration enforcement. I knew this was gonna come back and bite us. And I believe while there may not be a direct relationship here, we know in all of the offices they’ve taken these FBI agents off their critical cases and put them on immigration enforcement. I think that was a mistake. I wanna find out how this guy was able to still be on the loose, and we’ve got to get an investigation, but we’ve got to get an FBI that is back focused on protecting the homeland and preventing, whether it be terrorists or espionage taking place.

MARGARET BRENNAN: At this point, are you aware of any credible threats to the homeland?

SEN. WARNER: I have not been briefed in the last few days on a additional credible threat. But this, let’s put it like this, you know, these are the things you have to plan for if you are planning on going to war on a war of choice. This is a war of choice. And if you just go through quickly, the president said there were going to be four goals. Regime change, we’ve actually got a worse supreme leader than the previous one. And you heard the foreign minister, it doesn’t sound like they’re ready to move out. The uranium enrichment, it would take troops on the ground. Getting rid of the missiles, we’ve betrayed some of those.

MARGARET BRENNAN: –I get it.–

SEN. WARNER: But the crazy thing was that we didn’t take the Ukrainian offer to go after, to use their drones, which are much cheaper. I need to talk to you about- And finally, we’ve got the Strait of Hormuz closed.

00:02:46

MARGARET BRENNAN: I got to go to a break and I’m coming back to talk to you where I don’t have to cut you off. Let me just go to this break now.

[COMMERCIAL BREAK]

MARGARET BRENNAN: Welcome back to Face the Nation. We return now to our conversation with Senator Mark Warner. Senator, we were talking about Iran before that break. It was a year ago that the country’s intelligence leaders sat before your committee and provided testimony at the Worldwide Threats Briefing. And at that point, the testimony was, quote, “we continue to assess Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and that Khamenei has not reauthorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003.” Clearly, Israel disagreed with that U.S. assessment, and they persuaded President Trump. Were those U.S. intelligence leaders wrong?

SEN. WARNER: No, they were not. There was no imminent threat to the United States, and I don’t believe there was even an imminent threat to Israel from Iran. Over a period of time, particularly with the ballistic missile capability, Israel would be more under threat. The decision to go to war, in this case, was a choice by President Trump. And as I was racing through, I won’t go through the whole list again, but it was regime change, get rid of the enriched uranium, get rid of their missiles, sink the Navy. I’m not sure we have reached a successful conclusion on any of those four, particularly on the last point, the Navy. They’re still- you know, have hundreds and hundreds of these speed boats that they can plant mines in the Strait of Hormuz, which they’ve already partially mined, and now, we’re in this circumstance where he’s going to decide, I guess when he feels it in his bones, I think was the quote the president used, and is that the criteria when we’ve got literally 13 service members killed? And I got a lot of those sailors on the Ford that are home ported in Norfolk, Virginia. And waiting for him to feel right in the bones? That doesn’t seem to be the right criteria.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, we will get an update from those intelligence leaders before your committee later this week. We’ll be watching that closely. I want to specifically ask you, though, about what happened with this deadly strike on an elementary school in Minab, Iran. Our CBS reporting is that nearly 200 people were killed, likely the result of outdated intelligence that was used for the target coordinates, according to the preliminary assessment. Secretary Hegseth said he has appointed an investigator from outside Central Command to do a full probe. From what you have been told, did the fatal error originate from within the intelligence community or was this an issue with the military not vetting the intelligence they were given?

SEN. WARNER: Margaret, we’ve only got preliminary assessments, and I want a thorough investigation. But what I don’t want to do is jump to the conclusion, whether it was CENTCOM or whether it was Defense Intelligence Agency. Let’s- that’s what thorough investigations are supposed to be for. Clearly, it was an American strike. I, again, feel a little disappointed that the president tried to deny that at first or say it was even the Iranians. This is where- what we’ve got. The words of the president of the United States are terribly important in moments like this. And, unfortunately, President Trump has, uses loose language all the time, didn’t ever come to the American people on this war of choice and say what our goals are, and we still don’t know other than the four goals he outlined. I’m not sure we’re going to accomplish, but he’s going to then- whenever he decides. And we- where I disagree with my friend Kevin Hassett is, this is having a huge economic effect. In Virginia, two weeks ago, gas prices were $2.81. Today, they’re about $3.45. I saw a farmer yesterday. His fertilizer cost had been up 40%.

MARGARET BRENNAN: No, and we’ll continue to track that. Just to put a fine point on this, though, because this was, this was a school full of children. If a mistake like this happens, are you confident in the rest of U.S. intelligence that is continuing to be used for targeting and to inform what is happening on the ground now and the more than 50,000 service people we have committed here?

SEN. WARNER: This is why we want the investigation. This school, though, was absolutely adjacent to an Iranian military base. That does not excuse what happened. But that’s why, before I cast blame on whether it was the military or DIA, I want to get the facts. I think we’d all do a better job if we actually argued from facts rather than from suppositions.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, on the facts, the Senate failed to advance that Homeland Security funding for the fourth time yesterday. We have airline CEOs faulting Congress for not paying TSA agents. I’ve got video of TSA workers on food lines because they just missed their second paycheck, half paycheck last time, full paycheck this Friday. Why can’t your leaders break this deadlock?

SEN. WARNER: Margaret, I think we should. And what we have offered is let’s pay TSA, let’s pay FEMA, let’s pay the National Guard [sic.] I’m sorry the Coast Guard, let’s pay CISA, I’d even say let’s pay Customs and Border Patrol. If we can’t agree on ICE reforms, let’s pay everybody else. With the budget that the Republicans laid out, why won’t they just take yes for an answer?

MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, they say it’s, it’s a whole scale funding, not piecemeal, but–

SEN. WARNER: –If you’re going to fund 95%, as we did to balance the government, why not do the balance of DHS with the exception of ICE?

MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, we will be watching that. Senator Warner, thank you for your time this morning. We’ll be right back.

Latino voters are ‘no longer sleeping,’ Univision president warns GOP, Dems

Key House, Senate elections to be swung by races with high-density Hispanic populations, exec says

Ahead of the 2026 midterms, Televisa Univision President Ignacio Meyer is calling for a revamping of political priorities with the key Latino voting bloc, “a sleeping giant that is no longer sleeping.”

“Hispanic voters are largely sophisticated, are largely independent, and they want to be swayed by issues,” Meyer told Axios publisher Nicholas Johnston on Saturday at a SXSW event in Texas, urging both major political parties to “look at how they’re speaking to Hispanic voters.”

“They do not want to be spoken to about partisan politics.”

With the 2026 midterms prepped to set the table for the U.S., Congress and the White House, Meyer added the Latino vote is “largely up for grabs” and there is a “big disconnect” with it.

“The Hispanic population has been called the great sleeping giant,” he added. “It’s no secret that it’s no longer sleeping. They’re awake. They’re influential, the largest growing demographic in the United States across culture, sports, news, any one of the segments.”

President Donald Trump’s border security and legal immigration policies are a lot more popular with Latino voters than Democrats might have imagined. Trump won more than 48% of the vote in his sweeping 2024 presidential election, winning all of the key battleground states.

Meyer pointed to the recent Texas primaries, saying addressing Hispanic voters in their language is key, urging spending early and often – a boon for his network.

“Those that did their homework won,” he said, adding those that didn’t “lost, and they lost big.”

“I’m not a huge expert on politics,” he admitted, trying to play both sides to keep the campaign funds flowing in the political battlegrounds, but “balance of power in both the House and the Senate is going to be swung by very few races this year.”

“Out of all of those races, every single one has a high-density Hispanic population. Every single one of those voting blocs is up for grabs, and they want to be spoken to about the issues that are important to them.”

Univision is the largest American Spanish-language television network, targeting Latino audiences, and is the way to speak to Hispanic voters “in their language,” which politicians do not do enough, according to Meyer.

“Why would our civil servants not speak to us in the language and the culture that we deserve to be spoken to, and talk to us about the issues that we deserve to be spoken to?” he asked.

“I think people would like to oversimplify what it’s like to be a U.S. Hispanic in the United States. When you come from another country, you have to fight for your place with different circumstances, different language.”

Latinos should not be a “check-the-box” voting bloc to reach.

“Big growing population, check the box, spend X amount of money, spend it late – only in that window – and let it go: It’ll work,” he said of miscalculating political campaigns. “Well, there’s no magic.”

“It takes commitment.”

Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, who also spoke on the panel, said Democrats’ losses among Latino voters reflect a broader disconnect with working-class concerns. He argued the party must focus on economic issues such as lowering prices and improving household finances to regain support.

伊朗空袭中东多国美军基地 以军计划再战至少三周

2026年3月15日 23:11 / 联合早报

（德黑兰/华盛顿综合电）伊朗周末对美国在中东多国的军事基地发动大规模空袭，并警告其他国家不要采取任何可能导致冲突恶化的行动。美国总统特朗普此前敦促其他国家派兵维护霍尔木兹海峡安全，并威胁要再次袭击伊朗哈尔克岛。以军说，对伊朗的行动还将持续至少三周。

伊朗于星期六（3月14日）和星期天（15日）接连发动数波攻势，打击美国在阿联酋、巴林、科威特、约旦、沙特阿拉伯与伊拉克等中东国家的军事基地。

据伊朗媒体报道，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队袭击的目标包括沙特阿拉伯海尔季市的美军战斗机装备基地、阿联酋的美军宰夫拉空军基地、伊拉克埃尔比勒的哈里尔空军基地、科威特的阿里·萨利姆空军基地和阿里夫詹军事基地等。报道还说，伊朗将继续扩大对美国和以色列的强力打击。

伊朗外长阿拉格齐星期天与法国外长巴罗通电话时，敦促其他国家不要采取任何可能导致冲突升级与扩大的行动。

他同时强调，伊朗的空袭是针对“入侵者”，目的是“捍卫伊朗的主权、尊严和领土完整”，不应该被视为攻击其他中东国家。

阿拉格齐在《新阿拉伯人》同一天刊登的访问中说，伊朗已掌握充足证据，证明美国在中东的军事基地被用于袭击伊朗，日前袭击哈尔克岛的导弹就是从阿联酋发射的。

他也表示，伊朗对波斯湾邻国的袭击仅限于美军目标，并愿与邻国成立委员会来调查是否有非美国目标遭到袭击。

阿拉格齐表明：“只有当我们确信战争不会重演，并且赔偿金得到支付时，这场战争才会结束。”他说，伊朗对任何能公正地结束战争的地区倡议持开放态度，但目前还没有任何具体提案。

阿拉格齐此前一天称，美国在中东地区的安全保护伞已被证明漏洞百出。他在社媒平台X写道：“美国正祈求其他国家，甚至包括中国协助它维护霍尔木兹海峡的安全。伊朗呼吁兄弟邻国驱逐外国侵略者，特别是因为他们只关心以色列。”

威胁再炸哈尔克岛 特朗普：“只是为了开心”

特朗普周六接受美国全国广播公司 （NBC）访问时说，他正要求多个国家派战舰保护霍尔木兹海峡，且已有数国同意这么做。

特朗普也称，美军已彻底摧毁伊朗哈尔克岛的大部分地区，但“我们可能还会再炸几次，只是为了开心”。 他说：“伊朗想要达成协议，但我并不想，因为目前条款还不够好。”

哈尔克岛负责处理伊朗大部分石油出口，美军周五（13日）称，摧毁了岛上所有军事目标。他威胁再次轰炸伊朗石油出口枢纽哈尔克岛，称是“纯粹为了寻开心。”

特朗普呼吁派船协助护航 多国未表同意

美以伊冲突爆发后，霍尔木兹海峡形同封锁，导致国际油价飙升。特朗普周六较早时在社交媒体上呼吁中国、法国、日本、韩国、英国等受影响的国家派船确保这条石油运输要道安全。

针对美国的呼吁，日本朝野政党都强调此事须慎重考虑。韩国总统府说，会同美方密切沟通，在慎重考虑后做出决定。

英国能源部长米利班德则指出，当务之急是缓和冲突。他告诉天空新闻：“我们可以通过不同方式恢复海上运输。我们正与盟友密切探讨可以怎么做，因为重新开放海峡非常重要。”

中国驻华盛顿大使馆发言人回复美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）询问时说，中方呼吁立即停止敌对行动，并指出各方都有责任确保能源供应稳定与畅通。

以色列国防军发言人德弗林星期天告诉CNN，以色列计划与美国一起，再对伊朗进行约三周的军事行动，“我们还制定了更长远的计划，涵盖此后三周的时间”。

美国能源部长赖特同日说，美国对伊朗的战争料在“未来几周内”结束，之后石油供应将会恢复，能源价格回落。

以色列军方星期天宣布，对伊朗西部的政府基础设施发动大规模打击。以色列《国土报》同日报道，以色列内阁已批准一项8亿2700万美元（约10亿7200万新元）的紧急预算拨款，用于安全相关采购和满足紧急需求。

与此同时，伊朗也对以色列安全中心与警察总部等目标实施袭击。伊斯兰革命卫队星期天誓言将全力追杀以色列总理内坦亚胡，称他是“谋杀儿童的罪犯”。

伊朗外长阿拉格齐称，伊朗无意与美国进行谈判，借此反驳美国总统特朗普日前称伊朗希望达成停火协议的说法。

阿拉格齐星期天（3月15日）在哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）的访谈节目中说：“我们足够稳定和强大。我们只是在捍卫我们的人民……我们看不到任何与美国对话的理由，因为当他们决定攻击我们时，我们双方正在进行对话。跟美国人交涉从来没有好的经历。”

特朗普星期五（13日）在社媒发文称，伊朗在美以的联合军事行动中已被“彻底击败”，伊朗想达成停火协议，但他不愿意。

阿拉格齐则说：“我们从未要求停火，甚至从未要求谈判。”

他补充说，伊朗愿意与希望就特定油轮通过霍尔木兹海峡进行谈判的国家对话。“我不能点名任何特定国家，但已有一些国家与我们接触，希望为他们的船只争取安全通行。”

另一方面，伊朗星期天多次向以色列发射导弹，造成以色列至少八人受伤。

单位定价试点计划扩展 涵盖更多超市和商品

消费者今年可在更多超市门店和线上平台，以及更广泛种类的物品上看到单位定价标签，从而更方便地货比三家，作出选择。

贸工部兼文化、社区及青年部高级政务部长刘燕玲星期天（3月15日）为新加坡消费者协会（CASE）55周年暨慰劳晚宴致辞时，宣布政府今年将扩大单位定价标签试点计划。

自去年9月起，平价、昇菘和百美三家超市业者已展开试点计划，10月31日起则扩展至冷藏和巨人超市 。参与计划的180多间超市门市，在蔬菜、鸡蛋、大米等日常必需品的价格标签上，增列“每100克”“每公斤”或“每公升”等单位定价（unit pricing），方便消费者比较不同品牌和包装容量的售价，作出明智消费决定。

刘燕玲指出，当局接获一些改善建议，包括更清楚和更统一地显示单位定价，以及调整某些产品的标准计量单位。

对此，当局成立行业工作小组，与参与计划的超市业者就扩大版试点计划携手合作，并为后续计划的正式实施制定相应的指导原则。工作小组由消协会长杨益财和昇菘总裁林福星联合领导，首次会议已于上周举行。

消费者去年蒙受271万元预付款损失

刘燕玲也说，政府正与消协合作，防范消费者蒙受预付款损失，并检讨美容与保健业界的不公平做法。

消协2月公布的数据显示，消费者去年因预付款蒙受的损失总额达271万元，较2024年的193万元，增加约四成。其中，美容行业占比高达78.6％，涉及金额为212万9979元。

政府已与消协合作，去年成立由杨益财和前司法委员符雪燕共同领导的保护消费者检讨工作小组，以检讨现有的相关法律。

刘燕玲说，小组从星期一（16日）起开展公共咨询，向公众和业界征集反馈和建议。“我鼓励消费者和商家表达意见，协助政府制定政策，更好地保护消费者并促进企业发展。”

工作小组预计今年内会将咨询报告和建议提呈给政府。

星期天正值国际消费者权益日，消协与商贸起步公司Pine Labs于现场签署谅解备忘录，以确保通过旗下智能支付应用Fave的所有线上交易，都采用消协保证标志（CaseTrust）的电商平台纠纷管理框架。

Fave也是首个纳入这一框架的数码支付与电子代金券平台，之前网购平台Lazada和Shopee已陆续签署并承诺采用框架。

采纳这个框架后，Fave须验证商家的身份、向消费者传达如何解决纠纷的信息、在七天内处理消费者的投诉，并在合理时间内解决纠纷、确保商家遵守退换货和退款等政策，以及协助处理买卖双方之间的纠纷。

杨益财致辞时说：“这意味着更严谨的商户审核机制、更安全的支付系统，以及结构化纠纷解决流程，以确保消费者的投诉能及时、公平且透明地得到处理。”

他也提及近期本地汽油售价因国际原油价格上涨而几度上调，然而95汽油售价并没随着原油价格下滑立时降价。

他吁请本地所有油商在调整价格时保持更大的透明度和克制，“确保国际原油价格下降时，能迅速且公平地反映在加油站油价上”。

中东冲突也导致许多人近期的行程受影响，旅游保险对行程取消等情况的保障显得更为重要。

杨益财也提醒消费者，在投保前要详细检视承保范围，并承诺消协将设法协助消费者比较各家旅游保险选择，包括研究未来能否将相关比较功能整合进“省钱之友”平台。
