美国称台军费后续资金延宕是对大陆作出让步

台湾在野的国民党和民众党星期五（5月8日）在立法院三读通过两党共提的7800亿新台币（新台币，下同，315亿新元）国防特别预算条例。美国国务院对台军费后续资金的延宕表达关切，称此举是对中国大陆作出让步。

综合路透社和台湾《联合报》报道，台湾行政院去年底对未来八年（2026至2033年）编列1.25万亿国防特别预算条例（简称军购案），包含对美军购、商业采购和委托制造三部分。

在一再推迟军购案的审议后，拥有席次优势的两大在野党、国民党和民众党终于在星期五三读通过此案，但只核准所提出的三分之二资金，仅限于对美军购，未纳入商业采购和委托台湾制造等项目。

台湾在野党表明，他们支持台军购案，但不会签署“空白支票”，并称民进党政府提出的军购案缺乏透明度，为贪腐提供可乘之机。

美国国务院发言人说，依循《台湾关系法》和逾45年、跨越数个政府的承诺，美国支持台湾取得关键防卫能力，以对应所面临的威胁。

发言人补充说：“台湾在无益处的停滞后通过特别国防预算，让美方备感鼓舞，但美国也提醒说，后续军费的延宕是对中国共产党的让步。”

台湾总统赖清德星期五在脸书发文称，通过军购条例仅是第一步，希望立法院尽速构建七大防卫能力，不让任何关键战力被遗漏。

他说：“波兰会喜欢这个安排。我们和波兰关系很好。我和（波兰）总统关系也很好。”

特朗普近期多次指责德国，威胁削减驻德美军。美国五角大楼官员5月1日说，正计划从德国撤出约5000名美军人员。特朗普2日说，美国从德国撤军人数将“大大超过”5000人。

Pentagon says one survivor after latest strike on alleged drug boat in eastern Pacific kills 2

May 8, 2026 / 11:12 PM EDT / CBS/AP

The U.S. military’s latest strike on an alleged drug-trafficking boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean killed two men Friday while leaving one survivor.

Video posted on social media by U.S. Southern Command shows a black, boat-shaped image before what appears to be an explosion, followed by a column of fire rising from the ocean.

Southern Command said it “immediately notified the U.S. Coast Guard to activate the Search and Rescue system for the survivor.” It did provide details on the rescue or the survivor’s condition.

The White House announced Wednesday that President Trump has signed off on a new U.S. counterterrorism strategy that sets eliminating drug cartels in the Western Hemisphere as the administration’s highest priority.

The Trump administration’s campaign of blowing up alleged drug-trafficking vessels in Latin American waters, including the eastern Pacific and the Caribbean Sea, has gone on since early September and killed at least 192 people in total. The military has not provided evidence that any of the vessels were carrying drugs. The strikes have ramped up again in recent weeks.

At the same time, Mr. Trump has sought to press regional leaders to work more closely with the U.S. to target cartels and take military action themselves against drug traffickers and transnational gangs that he says pose an “unacceptable threat” to the hemisphere’s national security.

Critics, meanwhile, have questioned the overall legality of the boat strikes.

The first attack in the campaign occurred on Sept. 2. In early December, however, the Trump administration came under heavy scrutiny after it confirmed a Washington Post report that in that Sept. 2 attack, the U.S. had conducted a follow-on strike, or “double tap,” that killed two survivors of the initial strike on the vessel.

Some lawmakers questioned whether the follow-on strike constituted a war crime.

中国驻日使领馆提醒在日公民重视户外活动安全

2026年5月9日 07:25 / 联合早报

中国驻日使领馆称，日本徒步登山被困事件频发，提醒在日中国公民重视户外活动安全。

中国驻日本大使馆微信公众号星期五（5月8日）发布消息称，今年3月以来，日本多地山区处于融雪期，徒步登山被困事件频发，在日同胞应高度重视户外活动安全，做好个人防护。

中国驻名古屋总领事馆提醒中国公民，开展徒步登山等户外活动时加强安全防范，认真规划路线与时间，避免进入危险限制区域，并按当地要求履行审批报备手续；提前通过日本气象厅等官方途径了解天气、雪况及能见度信息，遇恶劣天气及时取消或终止行程；充分做好行前准备并制定应急自救预案。如遇紧急情况，及时拨打日本紧急求助电话，并联系中国驻日本使领馆求助。

本月初，两名香港男子在位于日本歧阜县的飞驒山脉（又称北阿尔卑斯山脉）攀登时，遭遇恶劣天气，其中一人获救，另一人不幸罹难。

中疾控：中国无涉疫汉坦病毒自然宿主分布无感染病例

2026年5月9日 07:50 / 联合早报

游轮洪迪厄斯号（MV Hondius）出现汉坦病毒，中国疾控中心表示，本次疫情涉及的安第斯病毒，中国境内没有自然宿主分布，也没有人类感染病例报告。

据“中国疾控中心”微信公号消息，中国疾控中心星期五（5月8日）发文介绍汉坦病毒相关信息说，可引起明确疾病的汉坦病毒有20多种，不同种病毒引起的临床表现差异显著。主要分为肾综合征出血热和汉坦病毒肺综合征。

其中，引起肾综合征出血热（中国也称流行性出血热）的病毒，包括汉滩病毒、首尔病毒、普马拉病毒和多布拉伐病毒等。其中，汉滩病毒主要分布在中国、俄罗斯和韩国，首尔病毒呈全球性分布，在欧洲流行的汉坦病毒主要为普马拉病毒和多布拉伐病毒。

引起汉坦病毒肺综合征（HPS）的病毒，主要包括新诺柏病毒、安第斯病毒等。这类病毒主要分布于阿根廷、玻利维亚、巴西、智利、厄瓜多尔、巴拉圭、巴拿马、美国、乌拉圭和委内瑞拉等美洲地区。

中疾控指出，本次邮轮中由安第斯病毒引起的汉坦病毒肺综合征，曾有个别人传人案例报道，尤其是在特定的局部密闭空间中长期共同生活，可能会经密切接触或气溶胶吸入患者排出的病原体造成有限传播。

但汉坦病毒感染一般不引起人与人之间传播，日常社交、公共场所普通接触不会造成病毒传播。

中疾控还称，近年来，中国肾综合征出血热发病呈逐年下降的趋势。 本次疫情涉及的安第斯病毒，在中国境内无自然宿主分布，也无人类感染病例报告。

世卫组织总干事谭德塞星期四（7日）称，到目前为止，汉坦病毒已报告八个病例，其中包括三个死亡病例，“八例中有五例已确诊为汉坦病毒感染，其余三起为疑似病例。”

中国驻西非国家佛得角大使馆星期二（5日）称，涉疫游轮上没有中国公民。

US FDA to ease crackdown on some under-review unauthorized vapes

May 8 (Reuters) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Friday it would not prioritize enforcement against certain unauthorized e-cigarettes and nicotine pouch products if ​the companies have marketing applications under review.

The new guideline applies ‌to products with premarket applications that have been accepted for review or supplemental filings that have been pending for more than 180 days, the agency said.

Non-tobacco-flavored vape makers, ​who face heightened scrutiny due to youth usage concerns, must also ​provide sufficient scientific data to assess whether the products are “appropriate ⁠for the protection of the public health”.

The change means that manufacturers with ​products that meet the agency’s conditions are unlikely to face enforcement action even ​if they sell their products without the legally-required license.

It marks a boost for companies like Philip Morris International (PM.N), which have held off on launching new products while waiting ​for an agency decision, sometimes at the expense of market share.

Tobacco companies ​have been lobbying President Donald Trump and other key officials in the administration for changes ‌including ⁠a faster, clearer FDA authorization process.

Earlier this week, the agency approved the marketing of certain fruit-flavored e-cigarettes in a first authorization of non-tobacco-flavored vaping products.

The FDA also said on Friday that applications that include detailed data on product ​composition, health risks ​and device specifications ⁠are more likely to meet regulatory standards.

“By not prioritizing these tobacco products for enforcement, FDA will be able to ​better allocate its enforcement resources. FDA lacks the resources ​to pursue ⁠enforcement against every product that has not received authorization,” it said.

The FDA may still take action against products that have certain “presumptively underage-appealing elements such as depicting ⁠a ​cartoon-like fictional character, disguising its nature as ​a vaping product, or resembling a children’s toy, phone, or gaming platform.”

美国中情局报告：伊朗约可承受四个月海上封锁

2026年5月9日 07:04 / 联合早报

根据美国情报部门分析报告的结论，伊朗可以承受约四个月的海上封锁。

目前，旨在结束美伊战争的努力似乎陷入停滞，而双方星期五（5月8日）又在霍尔木兹海峡发生交火。

路透社8日引述一名知情的美国官员说，中央情报局（CIA）的评估报告显示，美国封锁伊朗港口，至少在未来四个月不会对伊朗造成严重的经济压力。这表明，尽管双方都寻求结束这场不受美国选民欢迎的战争，美国对德黑兰的影响力仍然有限。

《华盛顿邮报》率先报道中情局的这项评估报告。

美国国务卿鲁比奥8日早前在罗马对记者说：“我们今天应该会接到一些回应。我们正在等待他们的回应。”

伊朗外交部发言人表示德黑兰仍在评估美方提案。截至华盛顿时间8日下午（德黑兰时间9日午夜前，新加坡时间9日凌晨），伊方尚未有任何回应。

美国新闻网站6日引述美国官员和知情人士报道，白宫认为，与伊朗已接近就一份仅一页谅解备忘录达成协议。这份谅解备忘录包含14个要点，旨在结束冲突，并为更详细的核谈判奠定框架。

US judge will not rubber-stamp Elon Musk settlement with SEC

May 8 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Friday declined to quickly approve the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s $1.5 million settlement with Elon Musk over his ​purchase of Twitter, saying she wants more information about whether ‌the accord is fair and how it was reached.

The settlement would resolve an SEC lawsuit accusing Musk of waiting 11 days too long to disclose he had amassed ​a 5% stake in Twitter, and saving $150 million by the time ​he revealed a 9.2% stake in April 2022. Musk, the ⁠world’s richest person, bought Twitter for $44 billion six months later.

U.S. District Judge ​Sparkle Sooknanan in Washington, D.C. said that before approving the settlement, she must ​consider several factors including its fairness to both sides, whether it is consistent with the public interest, and whether it is “tainted by improper collusion or corruption.”

She ordered both ​sides to appear in court on May 13, and be prepared to ​propose a timeline to file briefs supporting the settlement.

Lawyers for Musk did not immediately respond ‌to ⁠requests for comment. The SEC did not immediately respond to a similar request.

The SEC sued Musk on January 14, 2025, six days before then- Democratic President Joe Biden left the White House.

Musk is a former adviser to ​Republican President Donald Trump, ​and has claimed ⁠that the lawsuit was politically motivated. He has also said the delayed disclosure was inadvertent.

The Trump administration has curtailed enforcement ​activity against some types of suspected corporate misconduct, and ​current SEC ⁠Chairman Paul Atkins has been refocusing the regulator’s enforcement priorities.

Musk and the SEC disclosed settlement talks on March 17, one day after SEC enforcement chief Margaret Ryan ⁠abruptly ​left her job.

The settlement did not require ​Musk to admit wrongdoing, or give up money he allegedly saved.

Twitter, which Musk renamed X, is ​now part of his rocket company SpaceX.
