WASHINGTON, May 26 (Reuters) – Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said the Trump ​administration is drawing up plans ‌to stop processing international travelers and cargo at major U.S. airports ​in “sanctuary cities” that have ​declined to cooperate with an immigration ⁠crackdown.

Mullin told Fox News ​Channel’s Sean Hannity in an ​interview broadcast on Tuesday that he had met White House officials but emphasized ​no decision had been ​made whether to proceed.

沃尔沃获美国豁免 避开与中国有关联网汽车禁令

2026年5月27日 10:54 / 联合早报

AI摘要

• 沃尔沃获美国商务部特别授权，可继续在美国进口和销售联网乘用车，避开针对中国关联车企的禁令。
• 美国以国家安全为由限制中国联网汽车技术，相关禁令将从2027款车型起生效，并对中国电动车加征100%关税。
• 尽管同为吉利控股，电动车品牌Polestar未获同等豁免，仍在与美方协商满足监管要求。
• 沃尔沃强调其数据处理方式与其他西方车企无异，确保美国客户数据不传至中国。

美国政府已与汽车品牌沃尔沃达成协议，让这家由中资控股的车企得以避开美国针对涉华联网汽车的禁令，并可继续在美国进口和销售联网乘用车。

据彭博社报道，由浙江吉利控股集团持有多数股权的沃尔沃星期二（5月26日）指出，公司已获得美国商务部特别授权，可继续在美国销售相关车型。

这项协议意味着，沃尔沃暂时免于受到美国针对中国汽车设置的部分限制。出于国家安全和经济安全考量，美国已将中国汽车排除在本国市场之外。除商务部针对中国联网汽车技术的禁令外，美国还对中国汽车加征惩罚性关税，包括对中国电动车征收100%的进口关税。

上述措施让吉利、比亚迪等中国车企难以进入美国市场，尽管中国汽车近年来已在加拿大、墨西哥等市场不断扩大影响力。

此外，美国针对与中国有关的联网汽车及相关软硬件技术禁令，将从2027款车型开始生效。目前，许多汽车配备摄像头等传感器，可收集数据，并具备无线传输信息功能，因此美国担忧汽车可能成为黑客攻击或外国对手获取数据的工具。

由于沃尔沃由中资控股，美国商务部政策将如何影响该公司一直备受关注，包括其是否可能被禁止在美国这一全球第二大汽车市场销售汽车。

尽管沃尔沃已获特别授权，但这项安排似乎并不适用于同样由中资控股的电动车品牌Polestar。由吉利创始人李书福实际控制的Polestar在声明中说，公司仍在与美国政府合作，以满足相关监管要求。

沃尔沃在声明中指出，这项授权是在公司就治理结构、技术及数据安全等问题，与美国商务部及其他美国官员展开“建设性讨论”后获得的。公司还称：“凭借这项特别授权，沃尔沃汽车能够继续推进其在美国的增长计划。”

这项决定出台之际，沃尔沃正等待2027款车型运抵美国。美国官员透露，这项决定与美国总统特朗普近期访华无关，也不意味着美国政府正考虑批准其他中资车企进入美国市场。

沃尔沃汽车首席执行官萨缪尔森（Håkan Samuelsson）此前受访时说，沃尔沃若被禁止在美国销售将是“不可想象的”。他说，公司一直在争取获得批准，并预计美国商务部将在今年夏季前作出决定。

萨缪尔森并称：“关键在于证明我们如何处理数据，确保美国客户数据不会被传输到中国。这些都是基本要求，而我们的安排与其他西方车企并无不同。”

Maureen Galindo projected to lose Texas Democratic House runoff after antisemitism accusations

Johnny Garcia beat Maureen Galindo in the Democratic primary runoff in Texas’ 35th Congressional District, CBS News projects, after accusations of antisemitic comments by Galindo roiled the race in the final days.

Galindo, a sex therapist, finished first in the March primary against Garcia, a former sheriff’s deputy, and two other candidates. But Galindo came under fire in recent days after she pledged to turn an immigration detention facility into a “prison for American Zionists” if elected.

In other social media posts, she argued that “billionaire Zionists” belong in prison and that “Zionist associated candidates and politicians” deserve “treason trials.”

Galindo has denied being antisemitic but said she is “against Zionist Jews.”

Democrats distanced themselves from her, while also accusing Republicans of propping up her candidacy. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York and Rep. Suzan DelBene of Washington, who chairs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, called Galindo’s “vile” language “disqualifying.” Some House Democratic lawmakers have threatened to force a vote to expel her if she wins the general election in November and is sworn in next year.

“She’s not welcome in the Democratic Party. She’s not welcome in Congress,” Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz of Florida, who is Jewish, said last week. “Anyone who wants to put any American in camps is not legitimate.”

The House Democrats’ campaign arm got involved in the race last week, placing a last-minute ad buy as the party sought to tip the scales in Garcia’s favor. The ad referred to Galindo as “MAGA Maureen” in reference to support she’s received from a political action committee that has been linked to Republicans.

Garcia will face off against either Carlos De La Cruz or state Rep. John Lujan, who are vying for the GOP nomination.

Republicans are hoping to pick up the San Antonio-area seat after last year’s redistricting made the district more favorable to the GOP. The Cook Political Report has rated the race as likely Republican.

Democratic Rep. Greg Casar, who leads the Congressional Progressive Caucus, currently represents the 35th District but is running in the redrawn 37th District, which includes parts of Austin.

特朗普支持丑闻缠身候选人 击败共和党参院资深建制派

美国媒体预测，获美国总统特朗普支持的得克萨斯州总检察长帕克斯顿，在共和党参议员初选提名决选中击败连任四届的资深共和党人科宁。

路透社报道，美国得州最西部几个县星期二（5月26日）投票结束后不久，选举结果便已分晓。这几个县与得州大部分地区分属不同时区。

63岁、丑闻缠身的帕克斯顿（Ken Paxton）上周获特朗普背书。他胜选后在X平台发文说：“谢谢得州。我们一起创造了历史。现在我们必须团结起来，击败美国资金最雄厚、最激进的民主党人。”

帕克斯顿面临的主要指控与他的职务相关，包括滥用职权和证券欺诈等。其中一项弹劾和滥用职权案件获得州参议院宣判无罪。美国司法部也结束对他的联邦调查，并未提起诉讼；另一项政权欺诈起诉，帕克斯顿达成了一项审前分流协议。

他同意向受害者支付近30万美元（约38万新元）的赔偿金，完成100小时社区服务，并参加法律伦理课程，从而避免刑事审判。由于他履行了这些条件，指控被正式撤销。

74岁的科宁为共和党建制派资深党员，得到共和党领导层的支持。帕克斯顿的胜选意味着科宁将在明年初提前退休，并迫使共和党建制派接受一个他们长期以来反对的候选人。

科宁在败选后告诉支持者，他将在11月中期选举中支持共和党候选人。

科宁说：“我在整个竞选过程中说过，我信任得州选民，他们已经做出了选择，我必须尊重他们的决定。”

帕克斯顿将与民主党州众议员塔拉里科（James Talarico）展开一场备受瞩目的角逐，这场得州参议员选举的结果可能决定参议院的控制权，并可能成为美国历史上最昂贵选举之一。

37岁的塔拉里科是一名长老会神学院学生，也是一名领先的筹款人，他的竞选活动吸引了中间选民和温和派选民的支持。

目前，共和党在参议院以53比47席位优势领先于民主党。民主党需要在11月中期选举中净增四席才能控制参议院。

民主党在特朗普2024年赢得的两个州——佐治亚州和密歇根州——处于守势，但如果他们能够保住这两个席位，并拿下北卡罗来纳州、缅因州、俄亥俄州、阿拉斯加州，他们仍有可能重夺参议院控制权。

朝中社星期三（5月27日）报道，朝鲜导弹总局和国防科学院26日进行了轻型多用途导弹发射系统和多管战术巡航导弹武器系统试验。朝鲜最高领导人金正恩观摩了试验。

新华社引述报道称，通过有关试验，分析和评估了战术弹道导弹的特殊使命战斗部威力、延长射程的240毫米操纵火箭炮弹超精确自行制导导航系统的可靠性、战术巡航导弹的人工智能（AI）制导命中准确性。

据报道，结合超精确自行导航系统和地貌对比导航系统、并采用AI末端制导功能的战术巡航飞行弹，是利用滑翔及推进复合飞行方式，对100公里界限距离目标实施超精确打击的有力战术武器系统。

金正恩说，此次重要武器系统开发试验，是朝鲜军力更新升级的明显信号，也意味着朝军战斗力实现重大技术进步。

金正恩还说，以强大的战争遏制力保卫主权安全、保证社会主义发展，是朝鲜武装力量和国防科学部门的基本任务。他还布置了在积极推动国家防卫力量可持续发展和武器装备高端化方面的一系列重要任务。

GOP veteran defeats populist candidate in one of America’s most conservative districts

Trump warns US is ‘finished’ if Democrats control Congress

The Democratic National Committee releases its long-hidden 192-page post-mortem on the 2024 election, which blames former President Biden for Kamala Harris’s loss. Commentators James Klug and Elizabeth Pipko criticize the report for ignoring Biden’s cognitive decline. They argue the Democratic Party refuses to acknowledge its problems, including open borders and attempts to pack the Supreme Court, which alienated voters.

Republican veteran strategist Tom Sell defeated populist, MAGA-style candidate Abraham Enriquez in a primary runoff race in a Texas congressional district known as one of the most conservative in the country.

Sell, a Republican strategist with years of agricultural consulting experience, beat Enriquez on election night, earning () percent of the vote in the solid red 19th Congressional District in West Texas.

A fifth-generation West Texan and businessman, Sell styled himself as an “America-first” “champion for rural America.”

He was endorsed by several key House Republican leaders, including Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., and Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. Sell also earned endorsements from younger congressional Republicans, Reps. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, and Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla.

Meanwhile, Enriquez, a young candidate who cast himself as the anti-establishment contender in the race, earned ()% of the vote.

Enriquez, who founded the conservative Hispanic outreach organization Bienvenido, ran on a “pro-Trump,” America-first platform. He was endorsed by Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, Turning Point Action, and the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

President Donald Trump did not make an endorsement in the race.

District 19, which includes vast swaths of West Texas, including Lubbock and Abilene, is considered a Republican stronghold. As a result, Sell’s primary victory virtually guarantees he will succeed outgoing Rep. Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, who is retiring from Congress.

Arrington, 53, had been endorsed for re-election by Trump, but he decided not to run again. In a statement announcing his decision, Arrington said, “I have a firm conviction, much like our founders did, that public service is a lifetime commitment, but public office is and should be a temporary stint in stewardship, not a career.”

Biden sues Justice Department to block release of audio files from biographer interviews

May 26, 2026 / 11:50 PM EDT / CBS News

Former President Joe Biden has filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department seeking to block the release of files related to interviews he conducted with a biographer that later became a central part of a special counsel investigation into his handling of classified documents.

Biden’s lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeks to block the Justice Department from releasing about 70 hours of audio files and transcripts to the House Judiciary Committee from interviews with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer that were used for his 2017 memoir “Promise Me, Dad.” The interviews were conducted in 2016 and 2017.

Biden and his attorneys have long maintained that the files are exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.

The suit comes after three separate Freedom of Information Act lawsuits were previously filed attempting to unseal them.

In one suit involving the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, attorneys for the Justice Department told a federal judge earlier this month they planned to release the files, with redactions, to both the committee and the Heritage Foundation on June 15 barring a ruling on the issue.

Mr. Biden asserted executive privilege over the recordings in 2024 after House Republicans attempted to access them.

CBS News has reached out to the Justice Department for comment on the complaint.

In late 2022 and early 2023, classified documents were found at Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, as well as his former private office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, D.C.

In January 2023, special counsel Robert Hur was selected by then Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate whether Biden had mishandled sensitive documents.

In February 2024, following a year-long probe, Hur released a 345-page report in which he determined that although “Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” there was not enough evidence to bring criminal charges against him.

Hur’s team interviewed 147 people as part of the investigation, including Biden.

Following Hur’s ruling, and during Biden’s remaining tenure in the White House, the Justice Department refused requests from Republican lawmakers to release audio from Biden’s interview with Hur, although snippets of it were obtained and published by Axios in May 2025.

In its motion Tuesday, Biden’s attorneys argued that under the Trump administration, the Justice Department has “reversed” its position on releasing those files.

“In February 2026, without any formal explanation for its about-face, the Department notified President Biden of its intention to release the audio recordings and transcripts to the plaintiffs in the FOIA Action,” the motion reads.

The investigation into Mr. Biden overlapped with a separate classified documents investigation into President Trump that began when the Justice Department searched Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in August 2022, seizing White House documents with classified markings.

Mr. Trump was subsequently federally charged with several dozen counts accusing him of mishandling classified documents, but those charges were dismissed in July 2024 when a judge determined that the special counsel in that case, Jack Smith, had been unlawfully appointed. In February, that same judge blocked the release of the portion of Smith’s report that addressed Trump’s alleged mishandling of sensitive government documents.

Late Tuesday night, Mr. Trump called Biden a “Crooked Politician” in a Truth Social post in response to Biden’s lawsuit.

受韩国首尔西大门区一处高架桥坍塌事故影响，韩国铁道公社星期三（5月27日）起调整了部分列车运行。

韩联社报道，120余趟高速铁路（KTX）列车以及部分普通列车停运或变更运行区间，给乘客通勤造成不便。

另外，当天凌晨5时13分，从首尔站出发前往釜山的KTX一号列车等120多趟KTX列车中断运行，涵盖京釜线、湖南线、京田线、东海线等，民众出行前需务必事先确认各线路列车的运营情况。

韩国铁道公社将在修复工作结束后，检查各线路的电力供应情况，决定是否正常恢复列车运行。

据韩国铁道公社（KORAIL）消息，26日下午2时32分许，首尔西大门区西小门洞的一处高架桥拆除现场发生板梁坍塌事故，首尔市政府等机构正在进行修复工作。

坍塌事故导致首尔站至新村站路段的列车线路停电，首尔站至幸信站的KTX区间、首尔站至水色站京义线区间中断运行。

韩国铁道公社预计首尔市政府的修复工作恐耗时较久，当天同样停运上述路线区段。
