June 18 (Reuters) – Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, who is fighting an effort by U.S. President Donald ​Trump to fire her over mortgage fraud allegations she says ‌are untrue, disclosed on Thursday extensive payments associated with her legal case as well as payments made on her behalf for security work.

Cook reported almost $1.2 million ​in legal services payments as her case has made its way ​up to the Supreme Court, in a filing made ⁠public on Thursday by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics.

The filing listed ​legal services payments on Cook’s behalf totaling $696,346 from the State Democracy Defenders ​Fund and $477,951 from Contina Impact. The filing also noted that Contina Impact paid $143,908 for “security services,” and that three personal friends of Cook also made contributions on the ​Fed governor’s behalf for security work.

According to Candid’s Guidestar, State Democracy ​Defenders Fund derives its funding from a number of donors, including the John D. ‌and ⁠Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Open Society Action Fund. The State Democracy Defenders Fund counts as a director Norm Eisen, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

The State Democracy Defenders Fund is currently being targeted by ​Republicans in Congress ​over whether it ⁠is using funds in a manner consistent with its publicly stated purpose.

The Supreme Court is expected by ​the end of this month to rule in Cook’s case, ​which is ⁠seen as pivotal to the U.S. central bank’s retaining the ability to make monetary policy free of political pressures.

Trump attempted to fire Cook from ⁠the central ​bank in August over unsubstantiated claims of ​impropriety involving mortgage borrowing. Cook contested her firing, which has thus far been blocked by ​courts.

赫格塞斯：美国将重新评估欧洲驻军规模

赫格塞斯：美国将重新评估欧洲驻军规模

（布鲁塞尔综合电）美国战争部长赫格塞斯宣布，五角大楼将在未来六个月内，评估美国在欧洲的军力部署。华府正向欧洲盟友施压，要他们负起更多防务责任。

赫格塞斯周四（6月18日）在布鲁塞尔举行的北约防长会议上说：“这将是一次真正的评估。目的是为了确保北约朝着由欧洲主导、承担保卫欧洲主要责任的方向，快速且不可逆转地前进。”

他说，此举也旨在确保美军在欧洲的“准入、驻扎和飞越权得到明确界定和保障”。美国与伊朗爆发战争期间，一些欧洲国家限制美军使用基地和领空。

赫格塞斯说：“这太可耻了。这些盟友把美国的儿女，我们的儿女，置于危险之中……这说不过去。”

北约峰会将于下月召开，美国正加大施压力度，确保盟友们兑现去年作出的大幅增加防务开支的承诺。赫格塞斯说，未来华府支付的北约组织运行费用，将“取决于”盟友是否达到防务开支目标。

他说：“如果其他盟友不赶紧增加开支，我们分摊的费用也会减少。”美国今年将支付约7亿9000万美元（约10亿新元）。

美国上月通知北约盟友，决定大幅削减危机情况下可供北约调用的军事力量，包括战略轰炸机、战斗机、驱逐舰、潜艇和空中加油机等关键资产。

德国国防部长皮斯托里乌斯周四呼吁美国更好地协调在欧洲削减军力的计划，以防止欧洲大陆爆发武装冲突时陷入孤立无援。他在北约防长会议召开前说：“现在关键的问题是制定路线图，协调各个步骤……目前还没决定由谁来接手美国负责的任务。”

据报道，美国拟将可供北约调用的战略轰炸机数量减少30%（欧洲国家没有这种轰炸机），战斗机数量减三分之一，不再提供侦察无人机和攻击无人机，海军舰艇数量减半。

北约核计划小组周四发布声明说，北约同意对其核能力进行现代化改造，并加强核规划能力。除法国外，所有北约盟国都是核计划小组的成员，该小组是北约内部协调核威慑政策的机构。

声明说，与会防长们重申，战略核力量仍是北约安全的最高保障，也是北约延伸威慑架构的基石。

WATCH: Cruz sounds alarm on Trump Iran deal, warns against handing billions to ‘theocratic lunatics’

A bipartisan group of lawmakers voiced strong skepticism about President Donald Trump’s newly signed Iran peace deal, arguing the agreement leaves Iran in a stronger position while questioning whether the United States secured enough in return.

Prior to Trump signing the memorandum of understanding (MOU) on Thursday, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, offered some of the sharpest criticism among lawmakers, arguing the deal rewards “theocratic lunatics” of a hostile regime.

“Giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is not a good idea,” Cruz told Fox News Digital. “I think the president, unfortunately, is receiving bad advice on this deal.”

Other Republicans stormed off when confronted about the new terms.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION UNVEILS SWEEPING TERMS OF PROPOSED IRAN AGREEMENT

The MOU provides immediate sanctions relief, including waivers on Iranian oil exports and access to frozen funds, while establishing a framework for more than $300 billion in reconstruction and economic development. It also sets a 60-day negotiation period aimed at reaching a final accord on Iran’s nuclear program — provisions critics like Cruz argue would provide Tehran with billions in economic benefits.

Democrats were even more brazen in their criticism of the Republican president.

“Iran is now going to be able to export their oil and gas, rake in billions more. It’s going to get access to its frozen assets,” Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said. “And what is Iran giving up for this? Nothing.”

“This is a great deal for Iran,” he told Fox News Digital. “I just don’t understand the thinking at all.”

NUCLEAR EXPERTS WARN IRAN’S URANIUM ‘RIGHT’ IS A MYTH, SAY TRUMP IS RIGHT TO HOLD FIRM

Several lawmakers also questioned whether the agreement secures meaningful concessions on Iran’s nuclear program, the issue that drove the conflict in the first place.

“I think when it comes to the development of nuclear weapons, the language is the same,” Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said. “We went to war for what?”

“Are you kidding?” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., shot-back when asked about the quality of the deal. “Look, everything about this says that Iran is better off now than it was before this war started.”

Other lawmakers questioned whether the agreement could credibly be viewed as a win for the U.S. after months of war.

“My biggest fear is I don’t know how anyone, even as good a salesman as Donald Trump can be, can sell this as a win for the United States,” Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., said.

Not every lawmaker opposed the agreement.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., shared a brief but supportive stance, saying: “Peace is better than war.”

TRUMP AGAIN SAYS DEAL IS CLOSE, THEN CONFIRMS A LAST-MINUTE AGREEMENT WITH IRAN, BUT DETAILS STILL SECRET

Several lawmakers also compared the agreement to the Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the 2015 nuclear deal Trump withdrew from during his first term.

“The public reporting to me suggests we’re giving up an awful lot more to get a lot less than the JCPOA,” Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said.

Warren argued the outcome of the conflict had effectively brought the administration back to a deal similar to the one Trump once rejected.

“Remember this whole nuclear deal now?” Warren asked. “No better than what we had back in 2015, back when Barack Obama cut the deal.

“And that’s where Donald Trump winds us up after all of this?” she continued. “What an embarrassment.”

霍尔木兹海峡解封 原油涌向亚洲或反致油库满载

2026年6月18日 21:12 / 联合早报

美伊签署初步协议重开霍尔木兹海峡，美国的汽油价格自3月以来首次跌破每加仑4美元的价位，为当地消费者带来舒缓。 （法新社）

（新加坡／纽约综合电）美伊达成初步停战协议，霍尔木兹海峡预计恢复通行后，未来几周将有大量原油涌向亚洲各国，或让此前已寻获替代来源的炼油厂，反而因此满载。

彭博社星期四（6月18日）引用海事信息公司Signal Group的数据报道，目前约有31艘受困在波斯湾的超级油轮将在海峡航道通行后驶出，共可运载约6200万桶原油，约一周可抵达印度，三周即可运抵东亚国家。

不过，据石油交易员透露，亚洲的炼油厂早前极力找寻其他来源代替中东原油后，6月和7月的供应都已充足。由于价格高涨抑制需求，炼油厂也调降了处理率。与美伊战争爆发初期比较，当前情况已截然相反。

这段期间，亚洲炼油厂向其他油源如美国锁定采购合同，中国多数时候都未在市场采购，一些国家如日本则动用本地储油。与此同时，一些波斯湾卖家如阿布扎比国家石油公司和科威特石油公司都成功将一些原油运出霍尔木兹海峡，伊拉克的产油量也大幅增加。

据投资银行高盛分析员预测，波斯湾原油出口可在7月底恢复至战前水平。交易员透露，涌入的原油量巨大，促使亚洲炼油厂考虑将这些原油存入运营储罐，或者考虑提高处理率。

原油供应预期大增也反映在远期价格曲线上，迪拜和穆尔班原油指标价都在战争爆发后首次看跌，价格向来高于迪拜的阿曼原油本周还跌破迪拜指标价。

大量出口填补全球空缺 美石油库存大跌

另一方面，美国能源信息署（EIA）星期三（17日）发布，国内最大的商业原油储存中心、俄克拉何马州库欣（Cushing）原油储备中心的库存已连续八周下降，目前约为2000万桶。这是2014年以来最低水平，也是大多数交易员认为的最低运营水平。

美国在战争期间大量出口原油，以填补全球供应缺口，不仅造成商业储备大跌。本周早前发布的数据显示，美国的战略石油储备跌至3亿4000万桶，创1983年以来最低。

美伊战争爆发后，特朗普政府持续释放了1亿7200万桶战略石油以减缓燃油价格飙涨。

如今随着美伊签署初步协议重开霍尔木兹海峡，美国的汽油价格自3月以来首次跌破每加仑4美元的价位，为消费者带来舒缓。

美国汽车公会星期四发布，全国的普通无铅汽油每加仑平均报3.999美元，已从5月的4.50美元顶峰下滑。不过，这仍显著高于战争2月底爆发前，专家估计，在明年以前都不会回到往常的水平。

Democratic socialist poised to lead DC after opponent concedes, setting stage for clashes with Trump

Janeese Lewis George will likely replace Mayor Muriel Bowser, who opted not to pursue a fourth term at the city’s helm

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

Janeese Lewis George, a democratic socialist member of the Washington, D.C. City Council described as “D.C.’s version of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani,” is set to become mayor of the nation’s capital after her opponent conceded the race Thursday morning.

In a city that leans overwhelmingly left and with no real challengers on the ballot, Lewis George will likely win November’s general election for mayor. Her main opponent was former City Council member-at-large Kenyan McDuffie, who conceded the race two days after the primary election, and five other candidates who polled very low: Rini Sampath, Gary Goodweather, Ernest Johnson, Hope Solomon and Vincent Orange.

Lewis George is poised to replace current Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser, who on occasion worked with President Donald Trump over the last two years but ultimately opted not to pursue a fourth term at the city’s helm.

Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George joined parents, educators, and organizers at a SPACEs In Action and Blandi’s Childcare Center rally to demand funding for the Pay Equity Fund and childcare subsidies at the Blandis Childcare Center in Washington, D.C., on March 27, 2026.(Paul Morigi/Getty Images for SPACEs in Action)

With a more adversarial approach to the current administration, Lewis George’s victory tees up a potential showdown with Trump as the president made cleaning up D.C. during his second term a main goal, maintains a deployment of the National Guard to the nation’s capital and has threatened repeatedly to end home rule for the district.

Opposing Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to D.C. was a central tenet of Lewis George’s platform on the council and during her campaign.

DSA-LINKED DC COUNCILMEMBER MOUNTS MAYORAL BID TO SUCCEED BOWSER

“Like many of you, I am shocked and outraged that President Trump has announced he is weaponizing the Home Rule Act by deploying the National Guard and exercising authority over the Metropolitan Police Department. This is a direct attack on the 700,000 residents of DC and we will not stand for it,” she said in a statement when Trump announced the move last August.

While Bowser offered cooperation with the Trump administration on the crime crackdown, which has been focused heavily on juvenile incidents, Lewis George insisted that “federal troops” and “masked ICE agents” were the real threat to the city’s youth.

MAMDANI-STYLE DC MAYORAL HOPEFUL DRAGGED OVER ‘EXACTLY BACKWARDS’ RESPONSE TO VIOLENT TEEN MOBS

“Right now, using the curfew as a tool for our young people is dangerous,” she said during a primary debate. “It is dangerous because we have federal troops who are in our city, masked ICE agents who are in our city, and these are the people enforcing this law and our young people.”

“And these are not individuals who are trained in de-escalation, they are not accountable to D.C. residents.”

“As mayor,” she continued, “I think it’s important that we use the right tools, and we don’t put the risk of our youth being harmed or killed without the real oversight that’s necessary.”

Instead, Lewis George plans to offer even more “youth programming” to keep young people out of trouble.

She has touted a plan to expand universal access to childcare in D.C., “so that no family is spending more than 7% of their income on childcare.”

As a self-described democratic socialist, Lewis George is expected to take the district even further left as Trump and Republicans call for a crackdown on left-leaning policies that they say are ruining the nation’s capital.

The candidate has supported the defund police movement and was endorsed by progressive groups like Black Lives Matter, the Working Families Party and the Metro D.C. chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Trump has suggested that he’d order another federal takeover of Washington D.C. if the “crazy socialist” mayoral candidate was elected.

“I wouldn’t like it — and maybe we take back Washington, run it on the federal basis,” Trump said when asked by reporters how he’d respond if a self-described Democratic socialist D.C. council member were to win her bid.

“We won’t put up with it. We’re not going to lose our businesses,” Trump said last week during a press briefing from the White House.
