Feb 10 (Reuters) – House Judiciary Committee Republicans have subpoenaed eight Affordable Care Act health insurers for documents as part of a widening investigation of potential fraud surrounding the use of premium subsidies, Axios reported on Tuesday.

Subpoenas were issued to Elevance [(ELV.N), opens new tab], CVS [(CVS.N), opens new tab], Centene [(CNC.N), opens new tab], GuideWell, Oscar Health [(OSCR.N), opens new tab], Kaiser Permanente, Health Care Service Corporation and Blue Shield of California by Republican House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, the report said.

CVS told Reuters it received the letter and is cooperating, while Centene said it was providing information to the House Judiciary Committee with the goal of fighting fraud and increasing access.

The other companies did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comment. The committee could not be immediately reached.

Health insurers have faced criticism as millions of Americans face dramatic increases in their Obamacare insurance costs following the expiration of special COVID-era tax credits.

House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan issued subpoenas on Monday to get health insurers to send lawmakers more information on their subsidized ACA enrollees and discussions on subsidy-related fraud, the committee told Axios.

The insurers must send the information to the House Judiciary Committee by Feb. 23, according to subpoenas viewed by Axios.

Jordan had asked the companies for documents and information in December after federal auditors showed they had obtained subsidized coverage for almost two dozen individuals who did not exist and identified other fraud risks in the system, the report said.

The subpoenas ask for documents showing the number of enrollees at each organization receiving ACA subsidies and how much money it received from the subsidies between 2020 and 2025, according to documents viewed by Axios.

The follow‑up letters sent to the insurers on Monday, along with the subpoenas, indicated that while each company replied to the December inquiry, none of the responses met Jordan’s expectations, Axios reported.

马克龙：希望在与普京对话中采取“欧洲模式”

2026年2月10日 18:40 / 联合早报

法国总统马克龙说，他希望与俄罗斯领导人普京重启对话，并邀请欧洲伙伴参与其中。

上周，马克龙派遣一位高级顾问前往莫斯科。这是自俄罗斯于2022年2月全面入侵乌克兰以来，双方首次举行会晤。

马克龙在接受包括德国《南德意志报》等欧洲报纸采访时说：“我得到了什么？证实了俄罗斯现在不想和平。但最重要的是，我们重建了讨论渠道。

“我希望与我的欧洲伙伴分享这一成果，并制定一个组织完善的欧洲方案。”

他说，与普京的对话应“在不涉及过多对话者，且有明确授权的情况下进行”。

马克龙去年曾说，他认为欧洲应该重新与普京接触，而不是让美国独自主导结束俄乌战争的谈判。

《南德意志报》引述马克龙的话说：“不管我们喜欢俄罗斯与否，俄罗斯明天依然会在那里。

“因此，重要的是，我们要构建与俄罗斯重启欧洲对话的框架，既不能天真，也不能向乌克兰施压——同时也不能依赖第三方。”

上周马克龙派遣顾问博纳前往克里姆林宫后，俄罗斯外长拉夫罗夫说，普京已准备好接听马克龙的电话。

“如果你想打电话认真讨论一些事情，那就打吧。”

两位总统上次通话是在7月份，那是他们两年半以来首次通话。

Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says missiles ‘never negotiable’ | Fox News

Fox News – Published February 10, 2026 6:30am EST

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said his country would not negotiate on its ballistic missile program, rejecting a core U.S. demand and further dimming prospects for a breakthrough deal.

He again warned in an interview with Al Jazeera that Tehran, Iran, would target U.S. bases in the Middle East if provoked, calling Iran’s missile program ‘never negotiable.’

The warnings came as U.S. and Iranian negotiators met in early February in Oman, even as Washington continued to build up military forces across the region — a posture U.S. officials say is meant to deter further escalation but which analysts argue also underscores how far apart the two sides remain.

Despite the imbalance in military power, analysts say Iran believes it can withstand U.S. pressure by signaling greater resolve — and by betting that Washington’s appetite for war is limited.

While the U.S. possesses overwhelming military capabilities, Defense Priorities analyst Rosemary Kelanic said Iran is relying on the logic of asymmetric conflict.

‘One country is much stronger, but the weaker country cares more,’ Kelanic said. ‘And historically, the country that cares more often wins by outlasting the stronger one.’

‘Iran is trying to signal resolve as strongly as it can, but it likely doubts U.S. resolve — because from Tehran’s perspective, the stakes for Iran are existential, while the stakes for the United States are not,’ she added.

Behnam Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said Tehran’s primary leverage is its ability to threaten wider regional instability, even if it cannot win a prolonged conflict.

‘The Islamic Republic’s leverage is the threat of a region-wide war,’ Taleblu said, noting that while U.S. and Israeli defenses could intercept most attacks, ‘something will get hit.’

Iran buying time

Analysts across the spectrum agree that Iran is using negotiations less as a path to compromise than as a way to delay decisive action.

Oren Kessler, an analyst at global consulting firm Wikistrat, said Iran is using talks to stabilize its position internally while avoiding concessions on core security issues.

‘Both sides want a deal, but their red lines are very hard for the other side to overcome,’ Kesler said. ‘The talks are going well in the sense that they’re happening, but they’re not really going anywhere.’

Taleblu echoed that assessment, arguing that Tehran is treating diplomacy as a shield rather than a solution.

‘The regime is treating negotiations as a lifeline rather than a way to resolve the core problem,’ he said.

Taleblu added that Iran’s leadership sees talks as a way to deter a strike in the short term, weaken domestic opposition in the medium term, and eventually secure sanctions relief to stabilize its economy.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has insisted that limits on Iran’s ballistic missiles must be part of any agreement to avoid military action.

‘At the end of the day, the United States is prepared to engage, and has always been prepared to engage with Iran,’ Rubio said in early February. ‘In order for talks to actually lead to something meaningful, they will have to include certain things, and that includes the range of their ballistic missiles. That includes their sponsorship of terrorist organizations across the region. That includes the nuclear program. And that includes the treatment of their own people.’

Anti-government protests beginning at the start of 2026 led to a brutal crackdown in Iran. The regime has admitted to 3,117 deaths linked to the demonstrations, though human rights groups and Iranian resistance organizations peg the death toll as much higher.

The U.S. also has demanded that Iran give up all enriched uranium stockpiles, which can be used for civilian energy at low levels but for nuclear weapons at higher concentrations.

Araghchi told Al Jazeera that Iran is willing to negotiate on nuclear issues but insisted enrichment is an ‘inalienable right’ that ‘must continue.’

‘We are ready to reach a reassuring agreement on enrichment,’ he said. ‘The Iranian nuclear case will only be resolved through negotiations.’

Iran’s atomic chief said Monday that Tehran would consider diluting its 60% enriched uranium — a level close to weapons-grade — but only in exchange for the lifting of all sanctions.

As negotiations unfolded, the U.S. continued to expand its military footprint in the Middle East.

In late January, the U.S. dispatched a carrier strike group centered on the USS Abraham Lincoln to the North Arabian Sea, accompanied by multiple destroyers and other naval assets. Additional F-15E strike aircraft and air defense systems have also been repositioned at bases across the region, alongside thousands of U.S. troops.

Taleblu said the administration may be using diplomacy to buy time of its own.

‘The charitable interpretation is that the president is buying time — moving assets, strengthening missile defense, and preparing military options,’ he said. ‘The less charitable interpretation is that the United States is taking Iran’s threats as highly credible and still chasing the optics of a deal.’

In 2025, five rounds of talks similarly stalled over U.S. demands that Iran abandon enrichment entirely — talks that ultimately collapsed into Operation Midnight Hammer, a U.S.-led bombing campaign against Iranian nuclear facilities.

【东谈西论】高市早苗历史性大胜——她会修宪吗？会参拜靖国神社吗？

日本首相高市早苗领军的自民党在日本第51届众议院选举投票中单独拿下316席，让众院回归一党独大。 （路透社）

日本首相高市早苗不愧“铁娘子”称号。

在星期天举行的日本众议院选举投票中，自民党在高市的领军下，单独获得众议院316个席位，超过了法定议席数的三分之二。这不仅创下了自民党创党以来的最佳成绩，也是二战后单一政党在日本众议院选举中获得的最多数议席。

与自民党组成执政联盟的日本维新会获得36席；而反对党立宪民主党，以及由公明党组成的中道改革联盟仅获得49席，遭遇惨败。

自民党一党独大，意味着高市将掌握极大的立法主导权，也将终结近年来日本首相频繁更换的现象，使日本政策更具稳定性与连续性。

高市接下来的施政重点会是什么？她会修改战后的和平宪法吗？她的高票当选，又会对日美以及日中关系造成什么影响？

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与东京大学综合文化研究科教授川岛真的深入解析。

主持人韩咏红： 外交上最大的问题就是会不会修宪，因为已经拥有三分之二的议席了嘛，而且是自民党一党就有，不用靠执政联盟。

东京大学综合文化研究科教授川岛真： 数字上可以。高市已经说了请众议院跟参议院的宪法审查会开始讨论。但是我们还是考虑到另外一个大的问题。参议院那边自民党还是少数的执政党。参议院的宪法审查会那边的议长也不是自民党的，日本的众议院比参议院有优势，规定上很强，比参议院强。但是参议院的里面有宪法审查会，所以要通过参议院还不行。

主持人韩咏红：所以还未必能够推动得了修宪。

东京大学综合文化研究科教授川岛真： 还是有些难度。

中国自研飞机发动机或2030商业化 商飞抗衡巨头仍需时日 | 联合早报

2026年2月10日 20:06 | 联合早报

（北京综合讯）中国商用飞机有限责任公司（中国商飞）去年立下交付75架C919的宏伟计划，但在美国限制发动机技术影响下，全年仅交付15架。分析认为，中国商飞下一步能否抗衡欧洲空中客车和美国波音，解决对外来发动机的依赖是关键。

彭博社星期二（2月10日）在一则分析中指出，商飞依赖美国通用电气（GE）航空航天公司和法国赛峰集团的合资企业CFM国际所生产的发动机。

去年5月，北京限制稀土出口激怒了华盛顿。作为反制，美国暂停出售C919飞机关键技术和零部件，包括发动机技术。尽管禁令去年7月就解除，但已经损害商飞的产能。

《南华早报》上月引述知情人士报道，商飞去年生产的15架C919当中，八架是在最后两个月交付客户。商飞今年也调整了目标，希望交付至少28架。这显示尽管供应链的紧张正逐步缓解，但商飞仍然谨慎。

彭博社报道，C919已有逾1000架意向订单，中美博弈凸显中国自研国产发动机的必要性。目前，中国航空发动机集团从2007年开始研发的长江-1000A发动机，被寄予厚望。

去年8月，中国工程院院士张彦仲在央视军事频道的访谈节目中，透露长江-1000A发动机“大概很快能解决”。也有科技媒体称，2023年3月开始，长江-1000A在运-20军用运输机上进行飞行测试，是最后阶段的测试飞行。

但彭博社引述独立航空专家李瀚明称，长江-1000A取得中国民航的适航证可能耗时两年。随后，获批系统还需安装在C919上进行测试和审查，可能再耗时两年，意味着长江-1000A最早也要到2030年才能实现商业化。

航空市场情报与咨询机构IBA预计，在继续使用西方发动机的情况下，商飞到2030年可累计交付86架C919——距离对空客和波音构成实质性威胁仍相去甚远。

美国总统特朗普在与中国国家主席习近平通话时承诺，维持美国航空发动机对华供应，但中美关系变数仍然存在，商飞供应链风险没有消失。

特朗普威胁阻美加新桥开通 要加方让一半所有权

2026年2月10日 16:57 / 联合早报

（华盛顿综合电）美国总统特朗普恫言将禁止一座连接美加边境的新桥开通，宣称美国应拥有大桥至少一半的所有权；这是他对加拿大发起的最新一轮施压。

耗资47亿美元（约59亿新元）建造的戈迪·豪（Gordie Howe）国际大桥建于2018年，连接加拿大安大略省与美国密歇根州。由于美国拒绝出资，这座桥由加拿大全额融资建设，预计将在未来几个月开放，建设成本将通过30年的过桥费来偿还。

但特朗普星期一（2月9日）在社媒发文称：“在美国为付出的一切获得充分补偿之前，我不会允许这座桥开通，并要求加拿大以应有的公平和尊重对待美国。”他还抱怨，加拿大拥有大桥两侧的所有权，而且在建造过程中几乎没有使用美国产品。

根据温莎—底特律桥梁管理局发布的资料说明，这座大桥完全由加方出资建设，未来将由加拿大政府与密歇根州政府共同拥有。

密州长指出，桥梁由加拿大出资建设，由双方的工会建筑工人建造，并将根据密歇根州与加拿大的联合所有权协议运营，大桥无论如何都会开放。

密州民主党众议员丁格尔则称，特朗普曾于2017年支持建设这座桥，因此要求特朗普停止这种低劣的攻击，因为这对任何人无益，尤其伤害美国的经济。

美国土安全部1月30日发布规定，宣布戈迪·豪大桥为正式入境口岸，并称该桥通过减少拥堵和出行时间、改善交通流量，每年将为出行者节省1270万美元。温莎大学的研究显示，该桥将把通关时间缩短20分钟，30年内为卡车司机节省23亿美元。

Trump threatens to block opening of bridge between U.S. and Canada

2026-02-10T11:38:16.710Z / The Washington Post

As the Gordie Howe bridge neared its completion, Trump, in his latest salvo against Canada, suggested he would “not allow” it to open, saying Canada had treated the U.S. “very unfairly.”

By Victoria Craw

President Donald Trump has threatened to block the opening of a bridge between Michigan and Ontario, the latest flash point in the simmering tensions between the United States and its northern neighbor.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge — a six-lane bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, that has cost about $4.7 billion to build — has been under construction since 2018 and is due to open early this year, according to the organization behind it.

On Monday, Trump said he “will not allow” it to open in a post on Truth Social, claiming that Canada had treated the U.S. “very unfairly for decades” and that the U.S. would not benefit from the project.

“I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve,” he said.

“We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset.”

The bridge, named after legendary Canadian ice hockey player Gordie Howe, has been labeled a “once-in-a-generation undertaking” by the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority. It is set to have U.S. and Canadian entry ports and an interchange connecting to Michigan’s road network.

It is financed by the Canadian government but is publicly owned by the governments of Canada and Michigan, with terms outlined in a 2012 Crossing Agreement.

Candace Laing, president and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, said regardless of whether the threat is real or an attempt at creating uncertainty, “blocking or barricading bridges is a self-defeating move.”

“The path forward isn’t deconstructing established trade corridors, it’s actually building bridges,” she said in an emailed statement to multiple media outlets.

It was unclear how Trump would be able to delay or block the project from opening. The complaint is the latest in a string of blows he has leveled at Canada and Prime Minister Mark Carney, rupturing the traditionally close relationship between the two allies.

Last month, Trump threatened to decertify and impose tariffs on Canadian-built aircraft in a move that sparked fears of wide ramifications for U.S. air travel. He also traded barbs with the Carney on the world stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos, and later revoked his invitation for Canada to join the Board of Peace, an entity that Trump has claimed will resolve global conflicts.

Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that Trump’s post was “insane,” as U.S. steel was used in construction on the Michigan side of the bridge.

“I really can’t believe what I’m reading,” Dilkens said. “The faster we can get to the midterms and hopefully see a change, the better for all of us.”

U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Michigan) said Trump’s threats to tank the bridge project meant he was “punishing Michiganders for a trade war he started.”

“The only reason Canada is on the verge of a trade deal with China is because President Trump has kicked them in the teeth for a year,” she wrote in a post on X.

“The President’s agenda for personal retribution should not come before what’s best for us. Canada is our friend — not our enemy. And I will do everything in my power to get this critical project back on track.”

The Canadian government, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment early Tuesday.

伊朗警告内坦亚胡访美对外交产生“破坏性”影响

伊朗星期二（2月10日）警告称，以色列总理内坦亚胡对美国的访问，让外交进程受到“破坏性”影响。

伊朗外交部发言人巴卡伊在每周例行记者会上说：“我们的谈判方是美国。美国应当决定是否要摆脱那些对该地区有害的压力和破坏性影响，独立采取行动。

“犹太复国主义政权一再破坏和平进程，表明其反对本地区任何旨在实现和平的外交进程。”

德黑兰和华盛顿于2月6日在马斯喀特恢复会谈。

去年6月，以色列对伊朗发动了史无前例的空袭，引发了为期12天的战争。美国随后也加入战争，对伊朗的关键核设施发动了空袭。

伊朗随即以无人机和导弹袭击以色列，并袭击了美军位于卡塔尔的中东最大军事基地。

巴卡伊说：“6月份的经历非常糟糕。因此，鉴于这些经验，我们决心通过外交途径维护伊朗的国家利益。”

他坚持认为，伊朗将始终把重点放在核问题上，以此换取制裁解除。德黑兰方面一再说，拒绝任何超出核问题范围的谈判。

内坦亚胡办公室星期六（8日）发表声明称，以色列总理“认为任何谈判都必须包括限制弹道导弹以及停止支持伊朗轴心”。
