Ken Paxton’s impeachment lawyer speaks out on endorsing James Talarico

Attorney Dan Cogdell, who defended Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in his fraud and impeachment cases, tells Laura Coates he is now backing Democrat James Talarico. Cogdell says Paxton is too focused on Trump rather than the issues affecting Texans, adding that representing a client in court is not the same as believing they are the right person to serve in the Senate.

6月8日晚，特朗普在纽约肯尼迪国际机场向媒体发表讲话。 （路透社）

路透社/益普索星期一（6月8日）完成的民调结果显示，由于大多数美国人预计在伊朗局势紧张的背景下，汽油价格会继续上涨，美国总统特朗普的支持率仍在他政治生涯的最低水平徘徊。

约35%的受访者认可特朗普在白宫的表现，与5月中旬的上一轮民调持平。这一数据略高于他本届任期内的最低点，即4月民调的34%，也接近他首个任期在2017年12月创下的33%低点。

约59%的受访者预计美国汽油价格未来一年会更高，只有17%认为会下降。

仅22%的受访者认可特朗普在应对家庭生活成本方面的表现，70%不认可。

虽然白宫强调减税和能源供应将缓解压力，但特朗普却试图淡化物价问题，并频繁转移议题。分析员认为，如果经济逆风加剧，共和党可能在中期选举面临风险。

拜登任内一直饱受高通胀的困扰，最终影响了民主党在2024年选举的表现，特朗普得以击败民主党总统候选人哈里斯。特朗普在竞选期间承诺解决通胀问题，但持续高企的燃油价格正威胁着共和党在11月中期选举中守住国会控制权的希望。

约36%的美国人表示支持美国袭击伊朗，25%的人认为袭击伊朗的收益大于成本。

路透社/益普索最新的全国民调显示，如果今天举行国会选举，41%的注册选民会选择民主党，37%会选择共和党。去年的民调显示选民更信任共和党在经济管理方面的能力，但共和党的这个优势最近已经消失。

在最新调查中，36%的选民表示民主党有更好的经济计划，33%的选民选择共和党。

巴西国家队说，内马尔康复进展顺利，料将能够赶上球队的小组赛事。图为他6月2日抵达纽约时所摄。 （路透社）

（莫理斯城法新电）巴西国家队在星期一（6月8日）发表声明宣布，当家球星内马尔（Neymar）的小腿伤势目前“恢复进展顺利”。此前，这个最新伤病曾让外界深切关注他能否赶上巴西的世界杯揭幕战。

这名巴西国家队历史进球王于星期一接受了磁共振成像（MRI）扫描检查。结果显示他的“治疗取得了良好进展”，这无疑为他代表安切洛蒂（Ancelotti）执教的桑巴军团在美国披挂上阵带来巨大希望。

巴西足协在声明中说：“内马尔将继续按照巴西队医疗团队的既定计划，继续他的伤势复原与体能恢复训练日程。”

内马尔上个月底被确诊为小腿肌肉受伤，自那以来他便一直在与时间赛跑，以期及时恢复体能。巴西将在当地时间星期六（13日）在新泽西的大都会人寿体育场迎来本届世界杯的首场小组赛，对手是北非劲旅摩洛哥。

在星期一于巴西队大本营进行的户外合练中，内马尔并未跟随队友一同上场训练。巴西队目前驻扎在美职联（MLS）纽约红牛（New York Red Bulls）位于曼哈顿以西约50公里的全新训练基地，内马尔当天留在健身房进行恢复性训练。

34岁的内马尔曾是前巴塞罗那（Barcelona）和巴黎圣日耳曼（PSG）的超级巨星，也是巴西队过去三届世界杯征程中的进攻核心。然而，由于内马尔近年接连不断的严重伤病，自2023年以来就未能代表国家队出战过正式比赛，因此他入选本届世界杯大名单引发不小的争议。

面对外界的重重疑虑，主帅安切洛蒂早前依然力挺内马尔，坚称这名桑托斯（Santos）前锋能赶上巴西的第一场或第二场小组赛。这名意大利名帅同时也大派定心丸，表示对内马尔的复出会保持耐心，“绝不会急于一时”。

中国5月出口同比增13.8% 超出预期

2026年6月9日 11:04 / 联合早报

中国出口增速加快，5月出口按人民币计同比增加13.8%，以美元计价增长19.4%，超出预期。

中国海关总署星期二（6月9日）公布统计数据显示，5月中国外贸进出口4.45万亿元（人民币，8444.1亿新元），同比增长16.9%，其中出口、进口分别增长13.8%，21.5%。

以美元计价，中国5月出口同比增长19.4%，进口同比增长27.4%，高于前一个月25.3%的增幅。经济学家此前预期进口增长25%。

继4月对美出口由负转正后，5月中国对美国出口大增35.4%。

分领域来看，中国5月集成电路出口307.3亿个，同比增长2.1%，稀土出口5490.4吨，同比下降6.4%，手机出口同比下降3.5%，家同电器出口同比增8.8%，船舶出口同比下降2.2%。

今年前五个月，中国货物进出口同比增加15.3%，延续稳定增长态势。

中国海关总署统计分析司司长吕大良表示，今年以来，在元首外交战略引领下，中国积极深化和全球经贸伙伴的务实合作，为国际经贸注入稳定力量。截至5月，月度进出口已经连续三个月超过4万亿元人民币，保持良好运营态势。

从5月开始，中国对非洲建交国全面实施“零关税”举措，前五个月，中国对非洲国家进出口1.14万亿元，历史同期首次突破1万亿元，同比增长18.2%。5月中国从非洲进口951.2亿元，同比增长15%，连续九个月增长。

路透社报道指出，中东冲突尚未冲击中国出口这一政策制定者偏好的增长引擎，但经济学家表示，随着囤货见顶、成本上升，以及买家在等待停火期间开始消化库存，这一缓冲只是暂时的。

赖清德：安倍晋三是台湾人永远怀念的好朋友

2026年6月9日 11:17 / 联合早报

台湾总统赖清德星期二（6月9日）形容，日本已故前首相安倍晋三是高瞻远瞩的政治家，更是台湾人永远怀念的好朋友。

2022年7月，安倍晋三在日本奈良街头发表助选演讲时遭枪杀，震惊日本国内外。

据台湾总统府在官网发布的新闻稿，赖清德星期二上午以录影方式为第一届安倍晋三与现代日本研究国际论坛致词。他说，台湾的政治大学成立了全球第一个以安倍晋三为名的常设研究机构，星期二的论坛更以“安倍大战略与印太基石的台日关系”作为主题，让台湾和日本两个民主伙伴共同回顾历史、展望未来，格外具有意义。

赖清德表示，安倍晋三是高瞻远瞩的政治家，更是台湾人永远怀念的好朋友，并称安倍晋三以宏观的视野，提出“自由开放印太”的构想，对印太区域的稳定与繁荣留下深远影响。

赖清德进一步说，尤其安倍晋三提出“台湾有事，就是日本有事”，唤起国际社会对台海和平稳定的重视，也让台湾感受到日本诚挚、坚定的友谊。

赖清德也说，台湾和日本都位居第一岛链的重要战略地位，面临着相同的安全挑战。他表示，感谢日本首相高市早苗延续安倍晋三的理念，多次在国际场域强调台海和平稳定的重要性，并提出升级版的“自由开放的印度太平洋”战略。

去年11月以来，中日关系因高市早苗发表“台湾有事”论而跌入谷底，日本今年持续推进防务政策调整，包括讨论修宪、放宽武器出口限制等，进一步引发北京不满。

日媒：特朗普政府敦促中国恢复对日稀土供应

2026年6月9日 11:41 / 联合早报

美国总统特朗普政府敦促中国恢复对日本出口稀土，称此举关系全球供应链稳定。

根据路透社，日经新闻星期二（6月9日）引述多名美国和日本的匿名外交消息人士报道这项消息。

路透社此前引述中国海关数据报道，自去年12月以来，中国已基本停止对日本出口镝、铽、氧化钇等重稀土，晶片制造所需的关键金属镓的出口也几乎全面暂停，仅有极少量氧化钇仍维持零星出货。

日本经济产业部长赤泽亮正此前在中国江苏省苏州市召开的亚太经合组织（APEC）贸易部长会议期间，对中方管制稀土出口措施表达关切。

日本能源金属矿产资源机构的数据显示，日本每年约2万吨的稀土需求主要依赖进口，2024年有70%来自中国。

US lawmakers urge tighter rules on contract chipmakers supplying Chinese firms’ overseas units

SAN FRANCISCO, June 8 (Reuters) – A bipartisan pair of U.S. senators on Monday urged President Donald Trump’s administration to tighten rules on chip contract ​manufacturers such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to prevent them from ‌making advanced AI chips for overseas subsidiaries of Chinese companies.

This comes after the Trump administration last week moved to halt a potential loophole that may have led companies to ​export advanced chips such as those made by Nvidia to subsidiaries ​of Chinese companies located outside China. That potential loophole arose last ⁠year when the Trump administration announced it would not enforce rules put ​in place by the previous Biden administration governing global access to U.S. chips.

The ​Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), the arm of the U.S. Commerce Department that oversees export control laws, has clarified that sales to Chinese company subsidiaries in third countries such ​as Malaysia require a license.

But experts such as former State Department official ​Chris McGuire said last week that the guidance still did not address another potential loophole, ‌under ⁠which front companies for Chinese firms could order custom chips to be made by chip contract manufacturers such as TSMC.

On Monday, Sen. Jim Banks, an Indiana Republican, and Sen. Andy Kim, a New Jersey Democrat, sent a ​letter to BIS chief ​Jeffrey Kessler asking ⁠the BIS to directly address the issue of subsidiaries of Chinese firms ordering custom chips.

“Should this gap remain unaddressed, ​it would substantially undermine every other restriction the United ​States has ⁠imposed on the (China’s) access to advanced computing capability,” the senators wrote. “Export controls that can be circumvented through fabrication orders placed at the world’s most advanced foundry ⁠offer ​no meaningful protection to American national security or ​to the competitiveness of United States industry.”

The BIS and TSMC did not immediately respond to a ​request for comment.

伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队圣城旅称，伊朗将在波斯湾至红海之间建立一条新的“抵抗轴心安全带”。

伊朗国家媒体报道，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队圣城旅指挥官卡尼说，伊朗将在霍尔木兹海峡至也门曼德海峡，以及波斯湾至红海之间建立一条新的“抵抗轴心安全带”。

伊朗官员所说的“抵抗轴心”，是指由伊朗主导，在中东地区联合叙利亚、黎巴嫩真主党、也门胡塞武装、伊拉克什叶派民兵等非国家行为体，结成的反美、反以非正式政治与军事联盟。

A New Jersey Assembly committee on Monday advanced a Democratic-backed bill that would criminalize individuals who interfere with access to transgender and reproductive health care.

The Assembly Appropriations Committee approved the measure along party lines, clearing the way for a potential full vote in the Legislature later this week before reaching Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill for her signature.

If enacted, the measure would make New Jersey the first state in the nation to explicitly criminalize such interference.

First introduced in the summer of 2024, the legislation would establish a new criminal offense for “interference with reproductive health services,” including abortion procedures. The New Jersey Monitor indicated that the measure would also protect access to transgender healthcare for minors, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy and related mental health treatments.

Protections would extend to individuals who travel to New Jersey from jurisdictions where abortion is restricted or illegal. Health care providers and facilities would also be shielded under the proposal, which includes legal penalties for alleged interference originating from outside the state.

“This bill is to protect healthcare. Not a political debate. Not a culture war talking point. Healthcare,” bill sponsor Sen. Teresa Ruiz, D-Essex, previously said, according to the New Jersey Monitor. “Our law enforcement will not carry out another state’s agenda.”

According to the outlet, Republican lawmakers and opponents argued Monday that the bill could infringe on free speech rights, further erode parental rights and effectively make New Jersey a “sanctuary state” for certain providers.

Gregory Quinlan, founder and leader of the conservative advocacy group Center for Garden State Families, said anti-abortion activists could face arrest simply for praying outside clinics or engaging in what he described as “sidewalk counseling” sessions, the outlet reported.

Despite the criticism, Ruiz has previously said the bill “is not a violation of First Amendment rights,” according to the New Jersey Monitor.

According to the bill, medical entities and public officials will be barred from disclosing patient information without explicit consent, further strengthening privacy protections.

The measure would also make it a fourth-degree crime to harass, harm or block individuals from accessing or providing such services, while extending protections to providers against extradition to states that have criminalized reproductive or transgender treatments.

Violators who inflict significant bodily injury on individuals who receive such services could face up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $150,000.

Beyond criminal penalties, the proposal would also allow for civil litigation and authorize the state attorney general to seek injunctions and financial penalties against alleged violators.
