斯塔默：英国须谋“新出路”以应对更动荡危险的世界

英国首相斯塔默说，伊朗战争必须成为英国在经历了20年危机后的一个转折点，并承诺加强英国的经济和军事实力，以应对一个更加“动荡和危险”的世界。

路透社报道，斯塔默星期四（4月9日）在《卫报》发表文章说，这场中东危机已导致英国燃油价格上涨，预计将进一步推高通货膨胀并造成经济混乱，但这必须成为英国的“一条分水岭”。

他指英国近20年来一直饱受危机冲击，并列举了2008年全球金融危机，以及之后的紧缩政策、英国脱欧、冠病疫情以及俄罗斯入侵乌克兰。

斯塔默说：“现在伊朗战争必须成为一条分水岭，因为我们如何走出这场危机将决定我们这一代人的命运。我们不会再奢望回到2008年的世界，而是要为英国开辟另一条新道路——一条在新时代加强我们的能源、国防和经济安全的道路。”

他说：“我们不会回顾过去。我们不会试图重现一个已经逝去的世界，我们将建设一个更强大、更安全、更有韧性的英国。”

斯塔默说：“英国不会偏离航向。”

美国总统特朗普4月7日宣布，持续了六周的伊朗战争停火14天，以同伊朗举行谈判。但目前仍无迹象表明德黑兰会解除对霍尔木兹海峡近乎全面的封锁。此次封锁已造成历史上最严重的全球能源供应中断。

Multiple political figures took to X to praise the first lady following her remarks denying ties to Jeffrey Epstein

Reactions poured in Thursday after first lady Melania Trump issued a rare on-camera statement forcefully rebuking allegations linking her to disgraced financier and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaking earlier in the day, Melania Trump said she was never friends with Epstein or his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, and stressed that neither played any role in her introduction to her husband, President Donald Trump.

“The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today,” she said. “The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility and respect.I do not object to their ignorance, but rather, I reject their mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation.”

As she emphasized that her name never appeared in court documents related to Epstein, several political figures quickly took to social media to publicly rally in support of the first lady.

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., a leading congressional voice calling for the release of the Epstein files, praised Melania on X with a photo saying, “Melania Trump stands with Epstein victims.”

She also applauded Melania for championing legislation that criminalizes the sharing of fake intimate images of women.

“Thank you to our First Lady for being a voice for victims across the country. From her work on the Take It Down Act to publicly standing for the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and calling for action and the truth,” she said.

“The truth will prevail. America is strong when strong women stand up for what is right.”

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who has pushed for the release of documents through the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which he co-authored with Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., addressed Melania’s effort to bring survivors in for congressional testimony and said leadership should face consequences over their handling of the files, including recently ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi.

“First Lady asks Congress to bring Epstein survivors in for testimony. With all due respect, that’s@DAGToddBlanche’s job!,” he said.

“@RepRoKhanna & I already gave brave survivors a chance to tell their horrific stories on Capitol Hill.@PamBondi wouldn’t even acknowledge them. PROSECUTE!”

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., once a fierce Trump supporter before a public falling out with the president, also posted on X aligning with Melania’s remarks.

“I am grateful to the First Lady for her brave statement today about Epstein and his victims,” she said. “I agree with her that the victims should be heard. I also agree with Thomas Massie. The DOJ needs to PROSECUTE!!! And the role of Congress is to legislate, not prosecute.”

Democrats also took to social media after her fiery remarks.

Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., called on House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., to schedule a public hearing “immediately.”

“We agree with First Lady Melania Trump’s call for a public hearing with the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. We encourage Chairman Comer to respond to the First Lady’s request and schedule a public hearing immediately,” he said in a post on X.

He also characterized the first lady’s speech as a significant moment, saying her remarks drew renewed attention to an investigation some critics argue has not progressed far enough.

“The First Lady said two things,” Garcia said. “1)She pushed back on Acting AG Todd Blanche & her husband’s efforts to kill this investigation. 2) She joined our efforts to call for a public hearing where survivors who choose to do so have an opportunity to testify.”

美国联邦通信委员会拟禁止中国三大电信公司在境内运营数据中心。 （路透社档案照）

美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）拟禁止中国三大电信公司在境内运营数据中心。这是美国FCC本月对北京采取的最新举措。

据路透社报道，美国FCC星期四（4月9日）说，根据初步得出的结论，他们将以危害国家安全为由，禁止美国和其他通信运营商与被列入美国受限清单的中国移动、中国电信和中国联通等三大中国电信公司进行互连。

美国FCC说，他们也考虑禁止这些上述电信公司在美国境内运营数据中心，以及将上述禁令延伸至受限清单内部分企业的附属公司。

美国FCC表示，他们也将禁止通信运营商与安装了华为和中兴通讯设备的公司进行通信互连。

美国FCC将于4月30日的会议上就上述提议进行投票。

中国驻美使馆说，中国“坚决反对国家安全的泛概念化，并运用国家权力镇压中国企业”。

美国FCC上星期五（3日）提议，禁止进口部分中国制造商设备。

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。

美国FCC星期三（8日）称，将于本月投票决定是否禁止所有中国实验室为智能手机、相机和电脑等在美国使用的电子设备提供测试服务。

梅拉尼娅4月9日在白宫宣读一份声明，驳斥有关她和已故性罪犯爱泼斯坦的“抹黑传闻”。 （法新社）

美国第一夫人梅拉尼娅星期四（4月9日）举行新闻发布会，否认她与臭名昭著的美国已故性罪犯爱泼斯坦及他的同伙有任何关系，强调自己不是爱泼斯坦的受害者，并要求国会举行公开听证会，让爱泼斯坦的受害者作证。

路透社报道，曾与爱泼斯坦关系匪浅的特朗普，一直试图与爱泼斯坦性丑闻撇清关系，梅拉尼娅9日在白宫召开的新闻发布会，再次将爱泼斯坦档案推回公众视野。

网上流传梅拉尼娅当年通过这名声名狼藉的金融家介绍，认识了特朗普。梅拉尼娅予以否认。

梅拉尼娅说，1998年她在纽约市的一个派对上认识特朗普。她第一次与爱泼斯坦见面是在2000年，当时她与特朗普一同出席那场活动。

梅拉尼娅在白宫宣读声明说：“我和爱泼斯坦并非朋友……我和爱泼斯坦或他的同伙麦克斯韦（Ghislaine Maxwell）没有任何关系。”她对麦克斯韦的邮件回复“只是普通的通信”。

“我从未因与爱泼斯坦的性交易、性侵犯未成年人及其他令人作呕行为的相关罪行而被依法指控或定罪。”

梅拉尼娅敦促国会举行公开听证会，让爱泼斯坦的受害者宣誓作证，这无疑会进一步引发公众对爱泼斯坦档案的关注。

梅拉尼娅说：“将我和无耻的爱泼斯坦联系在一起的谎言必须到此为止。我不是爱泼斯坦的受害者。”

梅拉尼娅在宣读完声明后，拒绝回答记者提问。

麦克斯韦因性交易罪名被判处20年监禁，目前在联邦监狱服刑。2021年，纽约联邦陪审团裁定麦克斯韦多项罪名成立，包括向与政商名人、学者有联系的爱泼斯坦提供未成年少女。爱泼斯坦2019年在等待性贩卖案审讯时，在纽约监狱中死亡，被判定为自杀。

海事分析显示霍尔木兹海峡仍严格受控 通航恢复有限

英国海事分析公司称，美国和伊朗宣布停火后，霍尔木兹海峡通航量依然较低，船舶航行仍处于严格控制之下。

新华社报道，总部位于英国的海事分析公司温沃德星期四（4月9日）发布报告说，美伊停火并未带来商业航运全面恢复，霍尔木兹海峡标准航道基本未使用。8日仅跟踪到五艘散货船出港，均通过受伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队控制的通道航行。9日，船舶进出这条海峡的活动增幅有限，主要为小型船舶或与伊朗相关的航运。所有过航均需与伊朗方面协调。伊方向船舶发出警告：未经批准的通行将直接面临袭击风险。

报告说，当前通过霍尔木兹海峡的船舶主要为风险承受能力较高的运营方，但未见大型航运企业和石油巨头恢复行船。战争风险保险费率仍处高位，也限制了主流航运力量回归。伊朗正逐步建立管控霍尔木兹海峡通航的相关制度，包括航前审批、船舶检查、划定航道以及可能的通行收费安排。

数据显示，约3200艘船舶仍滞留在霍尔木兹海峡以西，其中包括约800艘油轮和货船。同时，波斯湾地区有768艘船舶活动，但通航受限、船舶自动识别系统关闭等“暗航”现象持续存在。

与此同时，波斯湾地区贸易流向发生明显调整。原本经霍尔木兹海峡的航运活动，转向阿曼和阿联酋东海岸港口，形成新的物流分流格局。航运企业普遍采取绕行好望角的替代航线，欧洲至波斯湾地区的常规航线航程由约25天延长至41天，运输成本增加约25%。

报告认为，4月8日至10日为初步的检验窗口期，如果霍尔木兹海峡通航量增加且未发生事故，市场可能重新评估风险；4月11日至14日将成为主要航运企业的决策窗口期，它们将根据停火持续情况和相关执行措施等，决定企业策略。

报告称，即使在最乐观的情况下，滞留霍尔木兹海峡的能源货物恢复运输仍需数周时间，全球贸易恢复至当前危机爆发前水平可能需要数月。

White House staff received email warning them not to place bets on prediction markets, officials say

White House aides got an email last month telling them not to place bets on prediction markets with nonpublic information, multiple administration officials told CBS News.

It was sent March 24, according to two White House officials.

The email from the White House Management Office, which was obtained by CBS News, states: “Recent press reports have raised concerns about government officials using nonpublic government information to place wagers on online prediction markets, such as Kalshi or Polymarket.”

It said it’s a “criminal offense for anyone to use nonpublic information to buy or sell these contracts,” and that “government ethics regulations prohibit the use of nonpublic government information for the private benefit of an employee or any other third party.”

“All White House employees are reminded that the misuse of nonpublic information by government employees for financial benefit is a very serious offense and will not be tolerated,” the email added.

It referred staff to the White House Counsel’s Office if they had questions.

The Wall Street Journal first reported on the existence of the email.

In a statement to CBS News, White House spokesman David Ingle said, “President Trump has been crystal clear: while he seeks a strong and profitable stock market for everyone, members of Congress and other government officials should be prohibited from using nonpublic information for financial benefit. The only special interest that will ever guide President Trump is the best interest of the American people.”

“All federal employees are subject to government ethics guidelines that prohibit the use of nonpublic information for financial benefit,” he said. “However, any implication that Administration officials are engaged in such activity without evidence is baseless and irresponsible reporting.”

On March 23, President Trump posted on Truth Social announcing he was postponing strikes on Iran’s power plants amid talks with Iran. However, just minutes before the post, there was a spike in oil futures trading, according to Bloomberg News and the Financial Times, leading to concerns of potential insider trading.

White House spokesman Kush Desai told CBS News on March 25, the day after the warning email went to staff, that “[a]ll federal employees are subject to government ethics guidelines that prohibit the use of nonpublic information for financial benefit. However, any implication that Administration officials are engaged in such activity without evidence is baseless and irresponsible reporting.”

• Judge says Pentagon must comply with prior order restoring press access
• New York Times said Pentagon policy violated First Amendment
• Pentagon claims access policy is lawful and necessary to protect military

WASHINGTON, April 9 (Reuters) – A U.S. judge in Washington ruled on Thursday the Pentagon is hampering journalists ‌in defiance of a court order that required it to restore access to credentialed reporters covering the seat of U.S. military power.

U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman said the Defense Department must comply with his earlier order that sided with The New York Times and ​other news organizations challenging restrictions imposed last year.

“The Department cannot simply reinstate an unlawful policy under the guise ​of taking ‘new’ action and expect the Court to look the other way,” Friedman wrote in his ⁠ruling, opens new tab. The judge called the Pentagon’s actions a “blatant attempt to circumvent a lawful order of the Court.”

Defense Department spokesman ​Sean Parnell said on social media the Pentagon fully complied with the court’s order and plans to appeal the latest ​ruling.

A New York Times spokesperson praised the ruling in a statement and called the Pentagon’s revised policy a “poorly disguised attempt” to violate the legal rights of journalists.

Friedman at a March 30 hearing had expressed concerns the Pentagon had issued revised restrictions for journalists earlier in the ​month that went even further than those he previously blocked.

The Pentagon under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in October ​that journalists could be deemed security risks and have their press badges revoked if they solicited unauthorized military personnel to disclose classified, ‌and ⁠in some cases unclassified, information.

Of the 56 news outlets in the Pentagon Press Association, only one agreed to sign an acknowledgment of the policy, with reporters who did not sign surrendering their press passes to the Pentagon.

Friedman ruled on March 20 the policy violated protections for news gathering and due process in the U.S. Constitution. He issued an injunction requiring reporters’ ​credentials to be restored immediately.

The ​New York Times, the lead ⁠plaintiff in the suit, told Friedman the Pentagon had not complied with his order but instead released what it called a new “interim” policy defying the court ruling.

The policy, the Times said, ​bars reporters with press passes from entering the building without an escort, sets up ​rules governing when ⁠a reporter can offer anonymity to a source and leaves in place other rules that the court order rejected.

In a court filing in March, the Pentagon denied violating Friedman’s prior order. “The Department was careful to address all of the legal defects that ⁠the court ​perceived in the prior policy,” it said.

The Pentagon Press Association said the ​Pentagon’s new rules are “a clear violation of the letter and spirit” of Friedman’s ruling. Reuters is a member of the association, which includes the ​Times, ABC News, Fox News and other outlets.

WASHINGTON, April 9 (Reuters) – The cash-strapped U.S. Postal Service said on Thursday it ​wants to raise the price of first-class mail stamps to ‌82 cents from 78 cents effective July 12.

The proposal, which must be approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission, would raise overall mailing services prices by 4.8%. ​USPS has warned it could run out of cash ​as soon as February.

The Week in Breakingviews newsletter offers insights and ideas from Reuters’ global financial commentary team. Sign up here.

Earlier this week, USPS won approval from ⁠the Postal Regulatory Commission for a temporary 8% price hike ​for priority mail and package deliveries, effective April 26, to deal with ​rising transportation and fuel costs. USPS plans for the surcharge to be in effect through January 17.

The service has reported net losses of $118 billion since 2007 ​as first-class mail, its most profitable product, has fallen to its ​lowest volume since the late 1960s. USPS in February reported a quarterly loss ‌of $1.25 ⁠billion.

The commission separately approved USPS’s plan to suspend employer pension contributions starting Friday, which will conserve $200 million in cash every two weeks, or $2.5 billion through September 30.

Reuters also reported USPS struck a deal with ​Amazon that will ​see the retailer ⁠use the Postal Service for at least 1 billion packages a year, or 80% of its ​volume last year.

In March, U.S. Postmaster General David Steiner ​said the ⁠Postal Service was hiring restructuring advisers to help address its mounting financial troubles.

Steiner wants to be able to raise prices over the current ⁠78 ​cents for first-class mail and thinks Americans ​would be willing to pay 90 or 95 cents per letter, when much of ​the world pays $2 or more.
