一份最新报告显示，在美中资企业对总体营商环境评价趋于谨慎，持负面态度者占比超过一半。

据中新社报道，美国中国总商会（CGCC）当地时间星期一（5月4日）在华盛顿发布2026年《在美中资企业年度商业调查报告》。

在对美国投资与商业环境的总体感受方面，受访中资企业持负面态度者占比55%，企业整体态度趋于谨慎。

其中，79%的受访企业表示受到特朗普政府关税政策冲击。进口成本上升、利润率下降与供应链中断是最受冲击的领域，关税已从采购成本端全面渗透至企业经营的各个层面。

报告显示，在外部高压下，“不退出、不扩张、守住基本盘”已成为绝大多数在美中资企业的共同特征。2025年在美没有新业务投资的企业占比高达73%，较2024年的53%大幅提高，为历年调研最高值。有积极扩张意愿、增加投资10%以上企业降至0%。

企业收入方面，2025年约33%的受访企业实现了收入增长；81%的企业整体保持盈利；高利润率企业（息税前利润率≥15%）占比从2024年的7%增至21%，达到历年最高水平；约27%的企业收入出现下滑。

报告还显示，受关税停战等因素影响，受访企业对2026年中美关系预期改善。在经贸关系层面，选择“中度恶化”预期企业数量较去年大幅下降24个百分点，选择“小幅改善”预期企业数量增至36%。

Trump pauses U.S. mission to guide ships through Strait of Hormuz to see if Iran deal can be struck

President Trump said Tuesday he has paused Project Freedom — a U.S. effort announced over the weekend to guide commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz — to see if the United States can strike a deal with Iran.

The president announced the about-face in a Truth Social post, writing that the project is on hold “for a short period of time” because the U.S. and Iran have made “Great Progress…toward a Complete and Final Agreement.” He said he made the decision at the request of Pakistan, which has helped mediate negotiations between the United States and Iran.

The U.S.’s blockade of Iranian ports will remain in place, Mr. Trump said.

This is a breaking story; it will be updated.

Ohio Senate race set between Jon Husted, Sherrod Brown after projected primary wins

May 5, 2026 / 7:51 PM EDT / CBS News

Washington — Sen. Jon Husted and former Sen. Sherrod Brown will face off in November, after Brown won his primary on Tuesday night, CBS News projects.

Husted was unopposed in Tuesday’s primary.

The projected victories in the Buckeye State tee up what could be among the most expensive Senate races this cycle, as Brown attempts a comeback two years after losing reelection. Now, Democrats see the state as one of a handful of opportunities to flip a seat, with a narrow path to take control of the Senate.

Brown lost his reelection bid to GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno in 2024 after representing Ohio for three terms in the Senate. At the time, Brown lost by less than four percentage points in a state that President Trump won by more than 10. Democrats are hoping that shifting midterm dynamics, along with Brown’s strong name recognition and working-class brand in the state, can tip the scales in their favor.

Husted, who formerly served as Ohio’s lieutenant governor and as secretary of state after a decade in the state legislature, is defending the seat for the first time. He was appointed last year to fill Vice President JD Vance’s seat.

Ohio’s 2024 Senate race was the most expensive of the cycle, and this year’s Senate contest is already shaping up to be costly. Republicans are investing heavily in the race, with the Senate Leadership Fund announcing their largest advertising reservation so far last month at $79 million. The Democratic Senate Majority PAC announced a $40 million investment in ad reservations on Tuesday.

Brown far outpaced Husted in first-quarter fundraising, according to Federal Election Commission filings, with $10.1 million to Husted’s $2.9 million. Heading into the primary, Brown had $17 million in cash on hand, while Husted had $8.1 million.

Despite the fundraising advantage, Democrats still face an uphill battle in Ohio — and in their effort to flip the Senate more broadly. While Republicans are defending more seats in the midterms, many of them are in states that Mr. Trump won by comfortable margins in the last cycle.

Democrats, with a handful of open seats to defend and few opportunities for pickups, must net four seats to take the majority. But their chances have appeared to improve in recent weeks as the unpopular war with Iran and stubborn affordability issues have beleaguered GOP midterm ambitions.

Defiant border czar brushes away MAGA critics, says ‘mass deportations are coming’

Phoenix—

White House border czar Tom Homan on Tuesday brushed off critics within President Donald Trump’s base who say the administration is not deporting enough people, while vowing to “flood the zone” with immigration officers in jurisdictions which pass legislation limiting cooperation with federal enforcement.

Speaking at the Border Security Expo in Phoenix, a room filled with Department of Homeland Security officials and industry personnel, a defiant Homan vowed that the “mass deportation promise will happen.”

“For the people out there saying ‘President Trump’s getting weak on mass deportation,’ you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about,” Homan said, referring to such naysayers as “keyboard warriors.”

Homan said he spoke with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin earlier in the morning to discuss what the administration will do “in the next couple of months.”

“You ain’t seen shit yet,” Homan said. “This year will be a good year. Mass deportations are coming.”

Homan’s comments at the Phoenix expo, a typically friendly room where administration officials tend to be slightly more unguarded in their remarks than they are other at other public appearances or during press conferences, come as DHS seeks to take a more targeted and low-key approach with its agenda and operations under Mullin than it had under former Secretary Kristi Noem amid public polling showing Americans souring at the administration’s aggressive crackdown.

Noem’s tenure at DHS saw near daily controversies as immigration officers carried out highly public, and often unfocused, operations in cities like Chicago, Minneapolis and Los Angeles. These operations drew frequent protests from citizens, including two Americans who were shot and killed while opposing the actions of immigration officers who had been deployed in Minneapolis.

Following the second killing of an American citizen, VA nurse Alex Pretti, by immigration officers, Trump deployed Homan to Minneapolis to replace Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol official who had overseen the deployment, and turn down the temperature.

CNN reported in March that the administration has sought other ways to soften the public messaging surrounding its immigration operations. James Blair, the White House deputy chief of staff, told Republicans to focus on the removal of criminals rather than “mass deportations,” a source familiar with the discussion told CNN.

Homan on Tuesday said criminal and public safety threats “have to be the priority.” But he added that the prioritization of criminals does not mean everybody else is “off the table.”

“Why is that?” Homan said. “I don’t care how long you’ve been here, if you’re here illegally, entered this country illegally, you cheated. You cheated the system.”

Conceding that 35% to 40% of the undocumented immigrations who have been arrested during Trump’s second term have no criminal record, Homan said that was necessary to “send a message to the whole world.”

He vowed to send masses of immigration officers to states that enact legislation limiting cooperation between state and local police and federal immigration authorities: “We’re going to flood the zone. You’re going to see more ICE agents [than] you ever seen before.”

When that happens, Homan said, so-called collaterals – people who weren’t targets of immigration officers but happened to be in the area when an operation takes place, are “coming too.”

“You will see collateral arrests increase in these areas,” he said. “You see more agents in your neighborhoods, because you forced us in this position.”

Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York, one of the states that has drawn Trump administration criticism for its immigration policies, reacted sharply Tuesday to Homan’s comments.

“All I’ll say to Mr. Homan is that Donald Trump himself said he would not send a surge of ICE agents to the state of New York unless I ask. I’m not asking,” she said.

Homan vowed to be focused on this mission until his dying breath – regardless of whether he continues to hold a position within the administration, or what is said about him.

“I simply don’t care what people think about me,” Homan said. “I never have and never will.”

鲁比奥：史诗怒火行动已完成 为船只提供“安全气泡”是全新任务

2026年5月6日 07:01 / 联合早报

鲁比奥在白宫记者会说，美军“自由计划”是防御性的，“除非我们先遭到攻击，否则不会开火。” （法新社）

美国国务卿鲁比奥确认，美国和以色列联合对伊朗发起的“史诗怒火”军事行动“已经完成”，并辩称美军引导船只离开霍尔木兹海峡为一项全新的任务。

美国总统特朗普日前宣布开展一项“自由计划”（Project Freedom），引导受困于这条关键航道的船只和船员安全地离开受限水域。

综合路透社和英国广播公司（BBC）报道，鲁比奥在星期二（5月5日）的白宫记者会说，正如特朗普通知国会所说，美国2月底对伊朗发起的史诗怒火军事行动已经完成，称特朗普更倾向于与伊朗在谈判桌上会面。

在此基础上，他强调“自由计划”是防御性的，“除非我们先遭到攻击，否则不会开火。”

鲁比奥说，伊朗任由被困在霍尔木兹海峡的船只“自生自灭”，迄今已有至少10名海员死亡，“他们孤立无助，正在挨饿，处境危险，至少有10名平民海员因此丧生。”

他说，美国将继续部署资源，捍卫霍尔木兹海峡的航行自由，并强调，任何国家都不能被允许控制一条国际航道，这正是特朗普开展“自由计划”的原因。

鲁比奥说：“我们只有在遭到攻击后才会做出回应。这是一次防御行动。如果海峡上的船只没有遭到射击，我们也没有遭到射击，我们就不会开火。但如果我们遭到射击，我们将会反击。”

在解释“自由计划”如何运作时，鲁比奥把它描述为一个“安全气泡”，让船只在美国军方的“安全气泡”中驶离霍尔木兹海峡。

鲁比奥说，美国已同多艘船只联系，要求它们驶离霍尔木兹海峡，这与美国战争部长赫格塞斯此前言论相呼应。

Minnesota lawmakers fail at trying to get Omar to testify about alleged fraud, GOP leader talks next steps

May 5, 2026 6:07pm EDT / Fox News

State Rep Kristin Robbins says the failed subpoena vote will not stop efforts to investigate fraud or Omar’s ties to it

By Alec Schemmel , Andrew Mark Miller Fox News

Minnesota state Rep. Walter Hudson discusses Rep. Ilhan Omar’s deadline to turn over documents to the Minnesota Fraud Committee regarding the ‘Feeding Our Future’ alleged fraud scheme and more on ‘The Will Cain Show.’

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., refused to respond to a request from a Minnesota committee seeking more information on her ties to the massive fraud scandal in the state, prompting a failed subpoena vote on Tuesday, but the committee’s chair says more options exist.

The subpoena, which required a two-thirds committee vote in favor to pass, only got five out of the six votes needed despite the committee’s Republican majority.

“We have reached out to Representative Ilhan Omar on multiple occasions, inviting her to testify and inviting and requesting documents,” State Rep. Kristin Robbins, chair of the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, said ahead of the vote. “We have endeavored in multiple ways to get access to [information] because, as everyone knows, Representative Omar had had some role, whether inadvertent or not. She passed the MEALS Act in March of 2020, and that took the guardrails off the federal school nutrition program, which created the conditions for [fraud].”

“I do think the subpoena is important. This is one of dozens, if not hundreds of things we are investigating. We have had hundreds of whistleblower reports. They continue to come in weekly,” Robbins added, noting she will continue to try to reach out to Omar’s office to get cooperation. “Even though the committee will no longer have official hearings we will continue to investigate these whistleblower reports and webs of fraud.”

Fox News Digital touched base with Robbins on Tuesday about possible next steps.

“They’re fading,” Robbins said about the committee’s options after a failed subpoena vote. “But I’ll certainly talk to our friends in Congress to see if they would be willing to issue a subpoena. I don’t know if they are, but they would have the same authority and it’s still relevant to them because it’s a federal program that’s been swindled. So I don’t know if they would be willing to do it, but it’s worth asking.”

Robbins added that the federal government has a “whole menu of legal options” given that Omar is a member of Congress.

“They have so many investigations going on, I don’t know where this falls on the priority list,” Robbins said.

Last month, Robbins says the congresswoman “ghosted” the committee by failing to appear to testify at a hearing focused on the MEALS Act, a federal COVID-19 relief measure passed in 2020 and sponsored by Omar.

“Minnesotans and the Members of the House Fraud Prevention & State Oversight Committee were disappointed that you failed to appear before our committee to answer questions,” Robbins wrote before asking Omar to turn over communications showing how she promoted expanded access to federal child nutrition programs, including emails, texts and meeting records with the Minnesota Department of Education and constituents.

The request also zeroed in on Omar’s public promotion of a Minneapolis restaurant that later became linked to the program. Robbins cited a Somali-language TV appearance in which Omar highlighted Safari Restaurant as a meal distribution site and asked for all communications related to the video and the restaurant’s participation.

Robbins is seeking records of any contact between Omar and a long list of individuals charged or implicated in the Feeding Our Future case, including nonprofit founder Aimee Bock and dozens of alleged co-conspirators.

The deadline for Omar to respond to the committee’s questions was Tuesday, May 5.

Fox News Digital reached out to Omar’s office for comment.

“It’s the same story every time,” Robbins posted on X after the vote. “Fraud is committed, information is suppressed, and the dysfunction continues.”

英航运媒体：受困船只不信任美国“自由计划”

英国航运媒体说，霍尔木兹海峡事实上仍处于关闭状态，被困船只对美国引导船只离开霍尔木兹海峡的所谓“自由计划”并不信任。

美国国务卿鲁比奥星期二（5月5日）确认，美国和以色列联合对伊朗发起的“史诗怒火”军事行动“已经完成”，并辩称美军引导船只离开霍尔木兹海峡为一项全新的任务，这项名为“自由计划”的疏导行动4日启动。

新华社引述英国航运媒体《劳埃德船舶日报》星期二的报道称，保险公司和被困船只船东认为，美方声明与霍尔木兹海峡的实际安全状况并不相符。美国主导的“自由计划”并未提供足够清晰度、足够可信的保障，不足以证明霍尔木兹海峡能够恢复通行。船东的主要关切是一旦伊朗袭击船只，美国是否会进行干预。

报道说，霍尔木兹海峡情况没有明显改变，商业航运仍然停滞，5日没有追踪到船只通过的情况。

鲁比奥5日在白宫记者会强调“自由计划”是防御性的，他说：“我们只有在遭到攻击后才会作出回应。这是一次防御行动。如果海峡上的船只没有遭到射击，我们也没有遭到射击，我们就不会开火。但如果我们遭到射击，我们将会反击。”

而美国战争部长赫格塞斯5日称，美军已在霍尔木兹海峡上空形成一个保护“穹顶”，来自世界各国的“数以百计”船只正等待通过海峡。

国际海事组织发言人4日说，继续敦促船只在霍尔木兹海峡附近水域保持最大程度的谨慎。波罗的海国际航运公会首席安全官拉森当天警告，鉴于伊朗向任何未经其军方协调就试图通过海峡的船只发出威胁，如果“自由计划”继续进行，存在敌对行动再次爆发的风险。

What we know about US stress tests of Google, xAI and Microsoft AI models

WASHINGTON, May 5 (Reuters) – The Trump administration on Tuesday announced it had expanded a program to give U.S. government scientists access to unreleased artificial intelligence models to conduct risk assessments to include Google’s DeepMind, xAI ​and Microsoft.

ChatGPT maker OpenAI and Claude owner Anthropic had already been voluntarily working with the U.S. Center ‌for AI Standards and Innovation, the team of U.S. government scientists, to test unreleased models for vulnerabilities, according to the companies.

Here is what we know about the reviews:

WHAT RISKS ARE THE U.S. FOCUSED ON?

U.S. government scientists are focused on “demonstrable risks,” such as the risk ​that advanced models can be used to launch cyberattacks on American infrastructure, according to the CAISI website. They ​want to limit opportunities for U.S. adversaries to use AI to develop chemical or biological ⁠weapons, or corrupt the data used to train American AI models.

WHAT WILL COMPANIES HAND OVER?

OpenAI is working with the ​group to test GPT-5.5-Cyber, said Chris Lehane, head of global affairs at OpenAI, in a LinkedIn post on Tuesday. GPT-5.5-Cyber is ​a variant of its latest model designed for defensive cybersecurity work.

Microsoft will work with the scientists to build shared datasets and workflows to assess advanced AI models, the company said in a statement. Microsoft did not specify which models.

Anthropic gave CAISI access to both publicly ​available and unreleased models, allowing researchers to probe for vulnerabilities in a process known as “red-teaming,” or simulating the behavior ​of malicious actors, the company said in September. The company also gave CAISI detailed documentation on known vulnerabilities and safety mechanisms.

Google DeepMind, ‌Alphabet’s AI research arm, will provide access to its “proprietary models” and data, a spokesperson said.

xAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.

WHAT HAS THE U.S. FOUND SO FAR?

Anthropic’s work with CAISI revealed that tricks such as claiming that human review had occurred, or substituting characters, could get around safety mechanisms, the company said, adding that it ​had patched the vulnerabilities.

OpenAI said ​in September that it worked ⁠with CAISI to probe vulnerabilities in its ChatGPT Agent that could have allowed sophisticated actors to bypass OpenAI’s cybersecurity measures. The exploit would have allowed the attacker to “remotely control ​the computer systems the agent could access for that session and successfully impersonate the ​user for other ⁠websites they’d logged into,” the company said.

The companies, along with Meta, Amazon and Inflection AI, agreed in 2023 to allow independent experts to check their models for biosecurity and cybersecurity risks.

The U.S. government scientists, organized under a different name during former U.S. ⁠President Joe ​Biden’s tenure, also released voluntary guidelines to protect against the risk of ​AI models leaking private health information or producing incorrect answers.

The scientists are now working on guidelines for critical infrastructure providers, such as the communications ​and emergency services sectors, to test their AI systems, according to their website.
