特朗普：美韩将就关税问题“达成某种协议”

2026年1月28日 06:59 / 联合早报

美国总统特朗普说，美国政府将与韩国政府就关税问题“达成某种协议”。

韩联社报道，特朗普星期二（1月27日）前往艾奥瓦州演说前被问及是否会提高对韩国的关税，他说：“我们将与韩国达成某种协议。”

特朗普前一天在社交媒体贴文，称美国对韩国汽车、木材、药品等进口产品的关税从15%提高至25%，原因是韩国国会迟迟未批准韩美贸易协议。

韩国总统府青瓦台27日上午召开紧急会议讨论对策，并检视《对美投资特别法》的处理进展。

青瓦台会后说，特朗普的言论属个人表态，关税调整要由美方正式启动程序。韩方将冷静应对，并重申履行韩美协议的立场。韩国政府也将派产业部长与通商本部长赴美，与美方展开磋商。

A pair of Senate Republicans are demanding that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem lose her job in the wake of a pair of fatal shootings in the midst of the agency’s immigration operations in Minnesota.

Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., are no strangers to being critical of the Trump administration, and have again broken from their party in calling for Noem to either step aside or be fired by President Donald Trump.

They join several Senate Democrats who have demanded accountability for the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good in the midst of DHS’ immigration operations in Minneapolis, Minn. It also comes as Senate Democrats are threatening to shut the government down in their bid to sideline the DHS funding bill.

When pressed on whether Noem should resign, Murkowski noted that she voted for her confirmation last year.

“I think the President needs to look at who he has in place as the Secretary of Homeland Security. I would not support her again, and I think it probably is time for her to step down,” she said.

Trump on Tuesday said that Noem was doing a “very good job.”

“The border is totally secure,” Trump told reporters outside of the White House. “You forget, we had a border that I inherited where millions of people were coming through. Now, we have a border where no one is coming through.”

When asked if she would be stepping down, he said “no.”

Tillis, who has made a habit of going after Trump officialsin the last several months and accusing them of giving the president bad policy advice, was more biting in his assessment of Noem’s performance, and extended that breakdown to White House Deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, who similarly accused Pretti of being a domestic terrorist.

He charged that “people like Noem are squandering” Trump’s ability to codify policy and open the door to a discussion on immigration reform — something both sides of the aisle have desired for some time.

“I don’t know if it’s lost yet, but if it is an opportunity lost, I put it squarely on the shoulders of people like Noem and Stephen Miller,” Tillis said. “Those two people told the president, before they even had any incident report whatsoever, that the person who died was a terrorist. I mean, that is amateur hour at its worst.”

When asked about Noem’s choice to label Pretti as a domestic terrorist, Murkowski said that the DHS head has an “obligation to control these situations that are under her jurisdiction, and she has not done so.”

Murkowski contended that accountability in the situation goes all the way to the top rung of leadership.

“I think you have a secretary right now who needs to be accountable to to the chaos and some of the tragedy that we have seen,” Murkowski said.

And Tillis, when asked if Noem should be removed from her position, said “100%,” but stopped short of supporting impeachment.

“I’m not going to get into impeachment,” Tillis said. “I think it should be a management decision. She needs to go.”

内坦亚胡：加沙非军事化前 不会允许重建

以色列总理内坦亚胡就美国宣布启动加沙地带停火第二阶段相关议题作回应，强调以色列将致力于完成加沙非军事化，在此之前，不会允许加沙重建。

新华社报道，内坦亚胡星期二（1月27日）晚间发表视频声明，称现阶段，以方专注于解除哈马斯武装，以及清除加沙地带的武器和地道，实现加沙非军事化。

针对有关在加沙地带实现非军事化之前推进重建的说法，内坦亚胡明确指出，这种情况“不会发生”。他同时否认关于以方允许土耳其和卡塔尔参与加沙国际稳定部队的传言，称“这同样不会发生”。

内坦亚胡还说，“不会允许”在加沙地带建立巴勒斯坦国。他说，以方反对巴勒斯坦建国，以色列将继续对“从约旦河到地中海之间的整个地区保持安全控制”。

此外，针对伊朗局势，内坦亚胡重申此前对伊朗的警告。他说，如果伊朗攻击以色列，以色列将“予以严厉回应”。

美国总统特朗普的特使威特科夫14日在社交媒体发文，代表特朗普宣布启动结束加沙冲突“20点计划”第二阶段，从停火转向加沙地带非军事化、技术官僚治理和重建。

威特科夫说，第二阶段将建立一个过渡性的巴勒斯坦技术官僚委员会管理加沙地带，并开始在加沙地带展开“全面非军事化”和重建，主要是解除“所有未经授权人员”的武装。

U.S. sees slowest population growth since 2021 due to decreased immigration

Updated on: January 27, 2026 / 6:53 PM EST / CBS News

The United States population experienced its slowest growth since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic amid President Trump’s deportation and border crackdown, new data from the Census Bureau show.

The nation’s population grew by 1.8 million people, or about 0.5%, from July 2024 to July 2025, driven largely by a decline in net immigration. The immigrant population grew by 1.3 million over that timeframe, compared with a 2.7 million increase over the 12 months prior. While net immigration still remains above pre-pandemic levels, the Census Bureau projects that it could drop to 321,000 by July 2026, if current trends continue.

The U.S. immigration population had previously been growing for more than 50 years. Net immigration ballooned during the Biden administration, when border crossings hit record highs, until policies enacted in 2024, such as restrictions on asylum applications, slowed that growth.

Those changes, which preceded record-low encountersbetween law enforcement and those who entered the U.S illegally at the southern border, in conjunction with widespread deportations under Mr. Trump, made a decline in immigration unsurprising, demographics experts told CBS News.

“The big takeaway is, wow, the Trump administration and even the end of the Biden administration made a big difference,” said Steven Camarota, the Director of Research at the Center for Immigration Studies. “It sure looks like we’re seeing a fundamental change that reflects policy.”

Mark Hugo Lopez, Director of Race and Ethnicity Research at the Pew Research Center, agreed that the immigration decline was a response to policy shifts, but added that global factors play a role in U.S. immigration as well. Some of the surge in the years following the COVID-19 outbreak reflected “pent-up demand” from when countries closed their borders during the pandemic, he said, while policy changes in other countries could make them more attractive to migrants than the U.S.

U.S. population growth has been slowing for decades, in large part because birth rates have declined. The new figures show that trend continuing, but without migrants compensating for the fertility declines as much as they had been in previous years.

Births outpaced deaths by 519,000 between July 2024 and July 2025, which is relatively stable compared to the year before, but a significant decline compared to earlier this decade. In 2017, nearly 1.1 million more people were born than died.

Camarota said that while slowed population growth could benefit the environment and ease housing costs, some businesses may struggle as the pool of workers and consumers shrinks. Lopez also noted immigrants’ impact on the workforce.

“Immigration has been important for driving U.S. population growth, but also U.S. labor force growth and the building of particular skillsets in the country,” Lopez said, highlighting farm work, manufacturing and tech jobs.

Population growth slowed in nearly every state and declined in five, with Vermont experiencing the largest decline at 0.3%. Hawaii, West Virginia, New Mexico and California also saw small population declines.

Meanwhile, South Carolina’s population is growing the fastest, according to the Census Bureau. Its population rose 1.5% last year, which the Census Bureau said was fueled by people migrating from other states. Idaho, North Carolina and Texas also saw gains, after ranking in the top 10 fastest-growing states between 2023 and 2024 as well.

特朗普要“稍微缓和”明尼苏达局势 称国安部长表现好

发布时间：2026年1月28日 08:15 | 来源：联合早报

美国总统特朗普说，他调换明尼苏达州的移民执法人员是为了“稍微缓和“当地局势，他对驱逐移民行动的立场没有退缩，而是略有调整。

综合彭博社和英国广播公司（BBC）报道，特朗普星期二（1月27日）接受福克斯新闻访问，谈到两名美国公民——古德和普雷蒂——先后在明尼苏达州最大城市明尼阿波利斯遭移民执法人员开枪打死。他说，这是两起“非常不幸”的事件，但他指古德“可能被激进化了”。

另外，特朗普承认负责明尼阿波利斯一线移民执法工作的强硬派边境巡逻队指挥官博维诺（Gregory Bovino），是一个“相当出格的人”，让他继续留在那里可能无助于缓和局势。博维诺预计将被调离明尼阿波利斯。

27日早前，民主党籍的众议院少数党领袖杰弗里斯指责国土安全部长诺姆失职，如果特朗普不解雇她，民主党将向诺姆发起弹劾。

特朗普当天在离开白宫到艾奥瓦州演说前被记者问及此事。他说，诺姆将继续留任。“我认为她表现非常好，我们的边境非常安全。”

不过，北卡罗来纳州的共和党参议员蒂利斯（Thom Tillis）也认为应该开除诺姆。蒂利斯说：“她在明尼苏达州所做的一切足以让她失去资格。她应该被开除……简直是业余水平。”

特朗普任命的政府边境事务主管霍曼（Tom Homan）已经抵达明尼阿波利斯，接管当地的移民执法行动。

美国总统特朗普说，另一支美国“舰队”正在开往伊朗，他希望德黑兰能与华盛顿达成协议。

路透社报道，特朗普星期二（1月27日）在艾奥瓦州演讲时告诉现场民众：“现在，另一支美丽的舰队正漂亮地驶向伊朗。

“我希望他们能与我们达成协议。”

特朗普没有透露有关舰队的更多细节。他说，美国在去年6月的军事行动中“彻底摧毁了伊朗的核能力”，伊朗“应在第一次就达成协议，这样他们就能保住自己的国家”。

美国中央司令部26日在X贴文说，美国海军亚伯拉罕·林肯号航空母舰打击群目前已部署在中东，旨在促进地区安全与稳定。

当天，《纽约时报》引述一名美国匿名官员称，理论上，林肯号打击群“一两天内”就能对伊朗采取军事行动。

Trump says Alex Pretti should not have carried gun that was allowed under Minnesota law

Jan 27 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Alex Pretti, the man fatally shot by a federal agent during a confrontation in Minneapolis, should not have been carrying a gun or fully loaded magazines, comments that put him at odds with gun rights groups and some Republicans.

Asked whether he agreed with administration officials who described Pretti as a domestic terrorist, Trump said: “I haven’t heard that, but certainly shouldn’t have been carrying a gun.”

Trump, speaking to reporters at an Iowa restaurant, later added: “He had a gun. I don’t like that. He had two fully loaded magazines. That’s a lot of bad stuff. And despite that, I’d say that’s…very unfortunate.”

Pretti, a licensed concealed-weapons holder, was killed on Saturday by federal agents during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis. The shooting drew broad criticism and prompted a White House-ordered leadership shakeup.

Gun rights groups, including the influential National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America, said Pretti was legally carrying a concealed gun. Bystander video of Pretti’s killing was widely shared, showing he never touched his gun before being shot and contradicting some Trump officials’ initial claims that he posed a threat to law enforcement.

“You absolutely can walk around with a gun, and you absolutely can peacefully protest while armed,” said Luis Valdes, a spokesman for the Gun Owners of America, a gun rights lobbying group. “It’s an American historical tradition that dates all the way back to the Boston Tea Party.”

“We are not happy,” Valdes said of Trump’s latest comments.

Gun rights groups are one of the Republican Party’s most loyal voting blocs. Such statements by Trump and other administration officials have opened a rift ahead of midterm elections in November.

Trump made his comments while greeting supporters at an Iowa restaurant before a scheduled speech on the economy. He said his border czar, Tom Homan, had met Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and was expected to meet Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey later on Tuesday.

Senate Republicans are marching forward with a massive funding package to avert a partial government shutdown despite Senate Democrats doubling down on their resistance to the Homeland Security funding bill.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., on Tuesday teed up a key test vote for the six-bill package for Thursday. The move allows Senate Republicans time to hash out a deal with Senate Democrats, who are demanding several restrictions on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Republicans are eager to find a middle ground that doesn’t involve modifying the current funding package given that doing so would almost guarantee a government shutdown and jeopardize funding to several other federal agencies, including the Pentagon.

But Democrats aren’t willing to budge, for now, until the DHS bill is stripped and sidelined.

Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins, R-Maine, said she spoke with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Monday but wouldn’t reveal details of the conversation.

Collins, whose home state is also a target of Noem and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), noted there were already bipartisan restrictions and reforms baked into the current DHS funding bill, like $20 million for body cams and numerous reporting requirements that, if not met, would halt money flowing to immigration operations.

But more could be done if needed.

“I think there might be a way to add some further reforms or procedural protections, but those discussions are ongoing and really involve [Thune],” Collins said.

Senate Democrats’ rapid unity against the bill came after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis over the weekend. Roughly two weeks before that, Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent in her vehicle.

“I understand how this has changed the conversation, but I still think if there are things the Democrats want in the Homeland bill or addressed in the context of the situation that they ought to make those clear and known and see to what degree the administration may be able to address them,” Thune said. “So, I would prefer that there be a way that we keep the package together.”

But Senate Democrats appear ready to reject any executive action taken by the administration or President Donald Trump on the matter.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., argued on the Senate floor that the “Senate must not pass the DHS budget as currently written.”

“And it must be reworked to rein in and overhaul ICE to ensure the public’s safety,” Schumer said. “The fix should come from Congress. The public can’t trust the administration to do the right thing on its own.”

Even if Senate Democrats are successful in their gambit and halt the DHS funding bill, the agency is still flush with billions in taxpayer dollars after Republicans’ passage of President Donald Trump’s signature “big, beautiful bill” last year.

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., said during a virtual news conference that, given that reality, Democrats “have to try no matter what.”

“Look, if [Noem] doesn’t need the money, then she doesn’t need the money, but we can still have some legitimate restrictions on how these people are conducting themselves,” Gallego said.

The other reality is that lawmakers are fast running out of time to concoct a solution by the Jan. 30 deadline.

Thursday’s vote, if successful, would tee up several hours of debate on the funding package in the Senate, eating away at valuable time and pushing final passage of the spending bills right to the midnight deadline.

The pressure created by the deadline and Democrats’ sudden reversal from just days before has Republicans scrambling.

Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., who chairs the Senate Homeland Security Appropriations Committee, will be a key figure in any deal that emerges since she helped bring an end to the previous shutdown last year.

She told reporters a “government shutdown does not help anyone” but noted a path forward “is yet to be determined.”

“We’re really going to have to put our heads together and figure out how we can make meaningful adjustments that would allow us to move these bills,” Britt said. “And, so, that’s what we are looking for.”
