据美军方统计数据，目前死亡人数仍为13人，包括六名在科威特遭伊朗袭击身亡的军人，一名在沙特阿拉伯受伤后不治身亡的军人，以及在一架美军加油机坠毁事件中身亡的六人。

美三参议员促特朗普禁中国汽车制造商在美造车

美国三名参议员星期五（4月3日）敦促总统特朗普，禁止中国汽车制造商在美国生产汽车，并防止在墨西哥或加拿大组装的中国汽车进入美国。

据路透社报道，这三名民主党籍参议员鲍德温（Tammy Baldwin）、斯洛特金（Elissa Slotkin）和舒默（Chuck Schumer）引用特朗普1月份在底特律的讲话内容。特朗普当时称，对中国汽车制造商在美国建厂持开放态度。

中国汽车在美国面对约100%关税等壁垒，但近期调查显示，美国消费者对中国汽车的兴趣日益浓厚。

三人在致函特朗普的信件中说：“我们必须清醒地认识到，邀请中国汽车制造商来美建厂，将赋予他们一种美国制造商无法应对的经济优势，并引发一场无法逆转的国家安全危机。”

白宫在被问及此事时说：“政府一直在努力为美国的工业复兴争取更多投资，但任何认为我们会为此损害国家安全的想法都是毫无根据的，也是错误的。”

特朗普曾在1月说，他对中国汽车制造商在美国建厂持开放态度。他告诉底特律经济俱乐部：“如果他们想要过来建厂，雇用你、你的朋友和邻居，那太好了，我喜欢。”

上述参议员们指出，比亚迪等一些企业曾在2月被短暂列入被指协助中国军方的中企名单。他们说：“政府应该毫不犹豫地将比亚迪和其他中国汽车制造商，列为与军方有关联的实体。”

中国驻美国大使馆目前尚未置评。

President Donald Trump delivered a Good Friday message from the Resolute Desk celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ while declaring that religion is experiencing a “resurgence” across the United States in his second term.

“As I have often said, to be a great nation, you must have religion, and you must have God,” Trump said.

The president framed his message with faith as a central pillar of American strength, pointing to what he described as a broader cultural shift toward religion.

The video, shared via Truth Social on Good Friday, honored the Christian faith tradition and what he claims is a renewal of religion in the United States.

President Trump has often recalled his Presbyterian upbringing, attending Sunday school. He has previously credited his faith to his devout Scottish mother and a “very strong” but “great-hearted” father in remarks at the 2024 National Faith Summit.

“In churches across the nation on Sunday, the pews will be fuller, younger and more faithful than they have at any time in many, many years,” Trump said. “Religion is growing again in our country for the first time in decades.”

The president has invited prayer and faith back into the public square with both an America 250 prayer initiative and the establishment of the White House Faith Office early in his second term.

Trump said he’s “proud to join with Christians” during Holy Week in his address.

“This Holy Week, I’m proud to join with Christians across the country and around the world to celebrate the most glorious miracle in all of time — the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” Trump said.

“In his life, Christ displayed true humility. In His death, He modeled true love.”

The president also invoked scripture in his address, quoting John 3:16.

“As it says in Gospel of John, for God so loved the world that He gave His only son, for whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life,” Trump said.

President Trump’s outspoken approach to the Christian holiday serves as a foil to his predecessor. Former President Joe Biden most recently shared a brief three-paragraph statement during his tenure to celebrate the season in 2024.

Trump has been more candid in his approach to his faith since he survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024.

“I believe that my life was saved that day in Butler for a very good reason,” he declared during his address to a joint session of Congress in 2025. “I was saved by God to make America great again. I believe that.”

The president ended his remarks by wishing everyone a blessed holiday.

” Happy Easter to all. May God bless you. May God bless the United States of America,” Trump concluded.

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

• Summary

• Judge cites rushed process, lack of engagement with universities
• States argue rushed survey could cause errors, penalties for universities
• Trump sought data to probe compliance with Supreme Court ruling

BOSTON, April 3 (Reuters) – The Trump ​administration cannot force public universities in 17 U.S. states to turn over sweeping amounts ‌of data so it can examine whether they have ceased considering race as an admissions factor, a federal judge ruled on Friday.

U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV in Boston issued a preliminary injunction, opens new tab at the request of those ​states’ Democratic attorneys general, who are suing over a new data reporting requirement the Department ​of Education adopted in a survey used to gather information from colleges.

The department ⁠sought seven years of admissions data on the race and sex of students to track compliance ​with the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling ending affirmative action in higher education.

New York Attorney General Letitia James hailed ​the ruling, saying in a statement that “schools should not have to scramble to produce years of sensitive information to satisfy an arbitrary and unlawful demand.”

The Education Department did not respond to a request for comment.

The states, which also include ​California and Massachusetts, sued last month, arguing the survey’s rushed implementation left universities vulnerable to inadvertent ​errors that could lead them to face penalties and investigations into their practices.

The department requested the data through an ‌Integrated ⁠Postsecondary Education Data System survey that it created at the direction of President Donald Trump, a Republican. In an August memorandum, he cited a lack of data to assess whether race remained an admissions factor given the “rampant use” by universities of what he called “hidden racial proxies.”

Saylor ruled the Education Department had the statutory ​authority to seek such ​data but he said ⁠the “rushed and chaotic manner” by which it adopted the new requirements led it to not properly engage with universities about problems they foresaw.

Such problems were ​compounded by the administration’s efforts to dismantle the Education Department, leaving few ​employees in ⁠its National Center for Education Statistics to manage the surveys following job cuts, the judge said.

After the states sued, Saylor, who was appointed by Republican President George W. Bush, issued temporary restraining orders that extended ⁠until Monday ​the deadline for their schools to complete the survey while ​he considered the case.

On Tuesday he issued an order similarly extending the deadline for dozens of other public and private universities while ​he considers whether they too deserve an injunction.

意大利总理梅洛尼星期五（4月3日）突然飞到沙特阿拉伯访问两天，此次访问旨在加强意大利国内能源安全。

彭博社报道，梅洛尼是美以伊战争爆发后，首位访问中东的欧盟及北约领导人，事先并未对外宣布。

意大利政府官员说，梅洛尼的行程从吉达开始。除了会见沙特王储默罕默德，她还计划与卡塔尔和阿联酋代表会晤。

意大利外交官称，梅洛尼此行重点，是就战争、海上安全、开放霍尔木兹海峡以及受冲突影响国家的人道主义状况交换意见。梅洛尼还将传达意大利能源企业包括意大利国家控股公司埃尼集团（Eni SpA），仍致力于在中东投资的信息。

意大利外交官说，梅洛尼于耶稣受难日访问中东，旨在加强与波斯湾能源生产国的伙伴关系，并寻求全面了解这些国家在美以伊战争问题上的立场。

以军在叙利亚南部发动袭击致一死

2026年4月4日 10:51 / 联合早报

叙利亚官方媒体称，以色列国防军星期五（4月3日）在叙南部库奈特拉省使用坦克向一辆民用汽车发射炮弹，导致车上一名叙利亚青年身亡。

新华社引述叙利亚国家通讯社报道，3日早些时候，以军用推土机堆起土垒，封锁库奈特拉省（Quneitra province）南部乡村的多条道路，限制当地居民行动。另一支由七辆军车组成的以军部队潜入了南部村庄。

2024年12月叙利亚政局剧变后，以军占领了戈兰高地军事缓冲区及周边区域，寻求将叙南部多个省份“全面非军事化”。

美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）星期五（4月3日）提议，禁止进口部分中国制造商设备。图为西班牙马德里举行的华为新品发布会上展出的华为Mate 80 Pro手机，摄于2026年2月26日。 （路透社）

美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）星期五（4月3日）提议，禁止进口部分中国制造商设备。这是华盛顿在2022年停止批准相关企业新型号设备后，进一步收紧对中国电子设备限制的最新举措。

据路透社报道，FCC已在2021年将华为、中兴通讯、海能达、海康威视和大华股份的电信及视频监控设备列入受限清单，认定他们对美国国家安全构成风险。2022年11月，FCC已决定不再批准这些企业新型号设备在美销售或进口。

目前，FCC正就是否扩大禁令范围、涵盖此前已获批设备征求意见，并初步认为禁止这些设备继续进口和销售，有助于降低美国通信领域风险，从而维护国家安全。

FCC指出，新提议不会影响美国用户继续使用已购设备；但一旦政策落地，可能立即实施进口禁令，以避免企业集中抢运相关产品。

近年来，FCC持续加码对中国科技产品的限制措施，包括去年12月禁止所有中国无人机新型号进口，以及上周叫停中国制造的消费级路由器新型号进入美国市场。

此外，FCC去年10月以3比0通过决议，禁止含“受限清单”企业部件的设备获得新批准，并在特定情况下限制此前已获批产品。

针对相关措施，海康威视去年12月提起诉讼，指FCC决定越权，并称这一机构“试图在缺乏充分法律或证据基础上，追溯性限制合法授权”。

阿富汗星期五（4月3日）发生5.9级地震，造成至少八人死亡，一名儿童受伤。

路透社报道，德国地球科学研究中心说，阿富汗兴都库什地区（Hindu Kush）3日发生5.9级地震，震源深度为177公里。

目击者称，巴基斯坦首都伊斯兰堡、阿富汗首都喀布尔、印度首都新德里均有强烈震感。

阿富汗地处崎岖山脉，易受各种自然灾害侵袭。其中，地震最为致命，平均每年造成约560人死亡。

去年11月，阿富汗发生6.3级强震，造成至少27人死亡，数百栋房屋被毁。
