EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has deported more than 2,000 known or suspected terrorists from the U.S. since President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) tells Fox News Digital, as the nation prepares to mark 25 years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

DHS said ICE arrested more than 2,150 known or suspected terrorists between Jan. 20, 2025, and Sept. 9, 2026, and deported 2,015 during that period.

“As we reflect on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the brave men and women of ICE continue to carry out their duty to protect the homeland and keep the American people safe,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in the department’s announcement.

Mullin said ICE had arrested more than 2,100 known or suspected terrorists and deported more than 2,000, adding that the anniversary underscored the department’s commitment to “eternal vigilance.”

DHS pointed to several recent cases involving alleged terrorists and members of designated foreign terrorist organizations.

In June, federal authorities arrested Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, a Mexican national DHS described as the suspected ringleader of an alleged mass-casualty plot targeting UFC Freedom 250 at the White House.

DHS said Alvarez overstayed a visitor visa that expired in 2001 and later received DACA status in 2014. ICE lodged a detainer following his arrest.

Days earlier, ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) arrested Felipe Linares De Oliveira Dell Aquilla, a Brazilian national DHS identified as a former commander of two designated foreign terrorist organizations.

Authorities said they recovered a handgun, cash and multiple electronic devices after a vehicle and foot pursuit in North Carolina.

DHS said Aquilla was wanted in Brazil on criminal association and extortion charges and was allegedly holding his wife against her will while preparing to flee to Mexico.

ICE lodged a detainer after his arrest, while investigators pursued additional firearm and kidnapping charges.

Four Venezuelan members of Tren de Aragua also pleaded guilty in May to charges stemming from a 2024 Bronx shooting that killed two people.

DHS said all four had entered the United States illegally between 2022 and 2023.

The attacks prompted the largest overhaul of the nation’s homeland security apparatus in decades, including the creation of DHS in 2002 and ICE the following year.

DALLAS — President Donald Trump delivered the keynote speech on day one of the GOP’s inaugural midterm convention, alternating between touting his successes in office and rallying thousands of supporters for Republican candidates ahead of November’s general election before making a promise to American voters.

In a stunning move, Trump made a promise unheard of in the history of American politics — offering a cash prize should Republicans keep control of Congress.

“I can make this promise to you, and here is my promise,” he said. “If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, because of our economic — tremendous economic success like in history, we’ve never had anything like what’s happening. but because of our tremendous strength and success economically — I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000. Very much like a successful company will do a cash distribution to its shareholders.”

“It will be called the ‘Trump dividend,’” he added.

Trump opened the speech by grading his own performance since taking office for a second time in January 2025, saying he’s “doing a great job.” He quickly shifted to addressing the historical challenge that incumbent parties rarely retain control of Congress in midterm elections.

“But I say, why is it that no matter how well you’re doing, we see not a president — Democrat or Republican — almost never wins the midterms?’ said Trump. “We’ve got to change that because we have something going that’s so good we can’t let that string be broken. So I’m asking you to pretend that I’m on the ballot. I’m on the ballot, just one more time.”

During his effort to rally GOP voters to help Republicans hang onto the House and Senate, Trump made sure to give credit to Republicans on Capitol Hill for their work in passing his agenda.

MILLIONS TAP TRUMP TAX CUTS THIS FILING SEASON AS REFUNDS TOP $3,400

“Our Republican Congress puts thousands of dollars into the pockets of working families with the largest tax cuts in the history of our country,” he said. “So we had the largest in history. We gave you no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors.”

He said his administration’s efforts on critical issues will be crushed if the GOP loses majorities in either or both chambers of Congress.

“Because if we lose, you’re going to lose your border,” he said. “You’re going to lose your tax cuts. You’re going to lose your safety and security. You’re going to lose your wealth.”

Fox News polling shows Trump is underwater with voters on the economy, cost of living and inflation. Sixty-five percent of voters disapprove of his handling of the economy. The president also defended the military conflict in Iran, saying he has received criticism over rising gas prices tied to the conflict but arguing that “I’m right,” because Iran was one month away from securing a nuclear weapon. Inflation has risen from 2.4% to 3.4% since the war began in February, while gas prices have also increased.

Republicans who spoke to Fox News Digital on day one of the convention weren’t concerned with Trump’s economic policies.

“I believe that Trump is doing the right thing,” one RNC attendee told Fox News Digital. “The tariffs are bringing a lot of money back, you know, correcting the national debt. And that’s gonna improve everything across the board.”

“I feel like as soon as we bring this conflict in Iran to a close, we’ll start seeing the full effects of President Trump and the greatness that he’s done as far as the economy, the great thing of tariffs, and some of the products of the Trump economy in the golden age,” said Jacquez Jones of Texas.

Later, Trump shifted his sights to Texas’ high profile U.S. Senate race between Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton and Democrat state Rep. James Talarico.

“We have to elect Ken Paxton,” he said, segueing into border security, a top issue under both Trump administrations. “Together, we’re going to continue to have — we have the strongest borders now in the history of our country.”

“We have the lowest level of illegal immigration ever recorded in our country,” he said, adding that zero illegal immigrants have entered the country through Texas in 16 months.

“And therefore zero have been admitted into Texas where they used to be running around, running rampant, killing people, destroying many houses and farms, and ruining property values and creating havoc all over the state of Texas,” he said.

During the speech, he also took aim at Democratic Senate candidates Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and former Gov. Roy Cooper in North Carolina.

He also touted what he described as foreign policy wins. After the arrest of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Trump boasted about “the biggest oil deal” ever, which he said might be “the biggest deal in the history of our country.”

“65 billion barrels are ours,” Trump said. “And you know what they say it is lifetime 500 years.”

Later, Trump transitioned to slamming the GOP’s far-left opponents.

“In this election, the Democrats have nominated the most extreme and dangerous group of candidates for the House and Senate ever to seek office,” he said. “These people are radical left communists. Many of them. Not all of them, but many of them in state after state. The Democrat establishment has been overthrown and replaced by crazed lunatics and radicals. They call themselves Democrat socialists. But actually they’re communists. They’re not socialists. They’re long beyond socialists.”

He noted the DSA has proposed abolishing prisons, ICE, Border Patrol, the U.S. Senate and the presidency.

That message was one Alex Stone of Kansas City, Missouri, hoped for earlier in the day.

“Tell the truth about who they are, what they believe and what they plan on doing,” he told Fox News Digital when asked what Trump’s message to Americans should be. “Democratic Socialists of America with El-Sayed in Michigan, in particular, these people want to destroy people like myself. They want to destory people like President Trump and many of the other people here. If they get into power, what is going to happen to us?”

“The pundits, the fake news media and the radical left communists will say anything they can to try and stop us. But in this election, all that matters is that we are united, we are together, and what we say counts.”

Talarico says he ‘missed the mark’ as he backtracks on controversial woke statements

James Talarico reverses course on top hot takes as critical Senate race tightens

Democrat James Talarico reversed several of his most controversial takes as a critical Senate race tightens in Texas.

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

In a Fox News exclusive interview, Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico came out in favor of banning gender surgery for minors and opposed transgender-identifying men competing in women’s sports.

Talarico also backtracked on several of his more controversial claims, including saying there are six genders and that “God is nonbinary.”

This comes as the Texas Senate race, which is surprisingly close according to recent Fox News polling, enters its final months. The race is considered critical to both parties’ chances of securing a Senate majority. Talarico is facing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican who has faced controversies of his own. A Republican loss in Texas would significantly impact President Donald Trump’s ability to implement his agenda.

Fox News spoke with Talarico at a food drive campaign event in Dallas on Tuesday. Talarico’s event took place as the first-ever GOP midterm convention kicked off just miles away in downtown Dallas.

Asked whether he would vote as a U.S. senator in favor of a national ban on gender surgery for minors, Talarico answered, “Absolutely.”

He said, “I’ve been consistent on this issue,” explaining his opposition to a Texas bill to ban transgender surgeries on minors by saying the measure “was overly broad.”

“If you go back and check, I voted for a major amendment to limit the bill to banning surgeries for minors,” he said. “As a lawmaker, my job is to try to sift through everything the bill does. And sometimes there’s stuff in it that’s really harmful, and I have no choice but to oppose the bill as a whole.”

“It’s why I try to use amendments, to narrow the focus of the bill so that it does exactly what we intend it to do,” he continued. “It’s what I tried to do with that piece of legislation, and unfortunately the amendment I supported was unsuccessful.”

In 2023, as a member of the Texas House of Representatives, Talarico voted against a state bill titled SB 14, which prohibited certain gender surgery, puberty blockers and certain hormone treatments for minors. There were 18 amendments to the bill proposed by Democrats, all of which Talarico voted in favor and all of which ultimately failed.

In the same interview, Talarico acknowledged that men in women’s sports is a significant issue in Texas. He said, “I oppose trans athletes playing in girls’ sports if it endangers safety or fairness.”

“Every sport has to be safe and fair. As a former public school teacher, I care a lot about our student athletes. I care a lot about our students. And so, I will oppose trans athletes playing in girls’ sports if it risks safety or fairness,” he said.

He also addressed perhaps his most controversial statement, which he made in 2021, while opposing a Texas bill to keep men out of women’s sports. Talarico said on the state House floor that “God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is non-binary.”

“I was being provocative with that statement. I get that,” Talarico admitted, explaining, “What I was trying to say is that you can’t use human categories to define God, and that’s not controversial theologically.”

Regarding his past comment about there being more than two genders, Talarico said he does not currently believe there are six sexes.

“I’ve missed the mark on some of my past statements. I will be the first to admit it,” he said. “What I meant is that there are two sexes, and then there’s a small percentage of people with genetic abnormalities.”

“Obviously didn’t say it correctly. There are not six sexes. There are two, and I think the reason that politicians in that convention center across the street want to talk about six sexes is because they don’t want to talk about $6 diesel,” he said.

Though he walked back these controversies, Talarico did not hold back on his criticism of the Supreme Court, which he described as “infected” with corruption, saying it “needs to be overhauled.”

He said that if elected, “You’re going to expect that I will vote for overhaul to the Supreme Court. That will include binding codes of conduct for our justices. It’ll include term limits, and I am open to a discussion about expanding the number of justices.”

Following these controversies, Talarico pledged to keep his message focused on affordability for the remainder of the campaign.

“Everywhere I go across the state of Texas, people are struggling to survive in this economy. They are struggling to afford the basics: groceries, gas, utilities, healthcare. And that’s what I’m going to be focused on from now until Election Day.”

On the topic of affordability, Talarico said that “we should not have a state income tax” in Texas. This is despite Talarico previously voting against a measure to permanently ban a state income tax, which he suggested was redundant and an example of “government waste at its worst.” The measure was ultimately passed by the Texas Legislature and approved by Texas voters in November 2019.

He knocked Paxton as “the most corrupt politician in Texas,” saying, “He’s going to try to clip some of my comments, including comments where I was being a little provocative in order to try to distract from that career.”

DALLAS — A rogue Senate Democrat toying with the idea of leaving his party drew a hard line in the sand after making a surprise appearance at the GOP’s Trump-centric convention.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has been welcomed with open arms by Republicans to join the party after he floated leaving his own caucus, and spurred further speculation that he would jump ship after dropping a video introducing his colleague, Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., at the Republican National Committee’s midterm convention on Wednesday.

But in a statement to Fox News Digital, the progressive-turned centrist said that he wasn’t turning his back on the Democratic Party, even as the knives have come out to cut him loose from the Senate.

“My remarks introduced Dave McCormick as a great American and friend. We are in different parties, but we are both Team PA,” Fetterman said. “We have delivered hundreds of millions of dollars back to Pennsylvania, fought for improved transportation and affordable housing, and the Steel Way of Life.”

“I’m a lifelong Democrat who votes overwhelmingly with my party — and should the Senate flip in November, I will still be the 51st vote that I ran on,” he continued.

Fetterman started his career in the Senate after besting Dr. Mehmet Oz in a tight race for power in 2022, where he clinched a historically thin Democratic majority in 2022 running on a progressive platform.

But since then, he has become a thorn in Democrats’ side, and challenged the direction of the party.

Earlier this year, Fetterman warned that if Democrats became more entrenched in anti-Israel policy positions, he would exit the party, and has taken jabs at the party’s direction during this midterm election cycle as far-left progressives, like Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, have emerged as standard-bearers.

Fetterman has routinely bucked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his colleagues on a handful of key issues, like President Donald Trump’s war in Iran or voting with Republicans to end the marathon government shutdown last Fall.

His latest edict followed a bombshell report that alleged through leaked texts with his aides that the maverick Democrat would often brush off duties of his office, like meeting with paralyzed veterans or charging that a three-hour funeral service for slain police officers was a “non-starter.”

And Republicans would gladly welcome him into the fold. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said in July that he and others in the Senate GOP have had “had conversations with him in the past … about the challenges he faces in his caucus.”

“And, you know, there are many of us who I think would welcome the opportunity to have him join the Republican conference,” Thune said.

Another Anthropic model gained access to the open internet, company says

Anthropic disclosed on Wednesday that another one of its Claude models mistakenly gained access to the open internet during a cybersecurity exercise, marking the fourth time its models have done so.

An early version of the Claude Opus 4.6 model connected to the internet, hacked into a third-party system and gained access to someone’s personal information this past January, the company said in its assessment.

As in the previous three incidents, which were disclosed in July, Claude was told it was operating in a simulation without internet access, but due to a misconfiguration, the environment actually left internet access open.

What happened?

Similar to the three previous incidents, Claude was assigned a fictional scenario as part of a cybersecurity challenge known as CTF, “Capture The Flag.” The model was given a target machine and tasked with retrieving a piece of secret information — the flag — from it.

But Claude accidentally made its target unreachable, rendering the task impossible to solve, Anthropic said. Once realizing it couldn’t reach its target, it tried to quit. Despite trying eight separate times, it wasn’t able to quit due to a misconfiguration issue.

Since Claude was unable to opt out of the task, it began exploring other means to achieve it. That’s when the model discovered a machine it could access, which happened to belong to a third party, Anthropic said. Believing that the third party was somehow part of the exercise, the model identified a password and then used it to breach the system. Then, it was able to modify the system’s settings to make it easier to access and read the personal information of someone associated with the third party. The session ended only once the model reached its usage limit and was no longer able to continue.

How does Anthropic explain Claude’s behavior?

Anthropic said it believes Claude’s behavior during these evaluations stems from two forms of misalignment: “biased reasoning, in which models selectively interpret evidence in ways that favor justifying their actions,” and “recklessness, in which models have a propensity to keep trying to solve their task, even when this could lead to harm.”

Anthropic said that while Claude’s actions may have been misaligned, they remained within a “narrow scope” and did not deviate from trying to solve the exercises they were assigned.

The company said it’s less concerned about this incident but still considers it “serious,” and that it has also not yet investigated it as deeply as other incidents since it was identified more recently.

NYU cybersecurity professor and Fulbright Scholar Justin Cappos said in a message to CBS News that the incident describes a situation “where the model is fundamentally confused about what is happening and is using its mistaken worldview while hacking into systems.”

He said the model’s confusion about its environment and guardrails “have a lot of potential to cause harm,” but that the specific issue seems less likely to occur in newer models.

“While the model’s disregard for the possibility that it might be harming real systems or people is concerning, many of the behaviors described here have changed considerably as our training has evolved across model generations,” Anthropic said Wednesday in its post.

What’s next?

Anthropic said it believes these incidents would not have happened had the environments actually been isolated from the internet as intended.

METR, an organization that evaluates frontier AI models to help companies understand AI risks and capabilities, will be conducting an independent investigation into the incidents. Anthropic characterized these incidents as “valuable warning shots.”

“The lessons we learned from this incident span our evaluation, training, and incident response processes,” the company said in its post. “Future AI systems will be increasingly capable, which implies that misalignment will have the potential to cause more extreme harm.”

Over the last few months, several cybersecurity incidents involving leading AI companies have come to light. In July, ChatGPT-maker OpenAI announced that its AI agents hacked into the company Hugging Face, sparking concern among cybersecurity experts as well as consumers. Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue told “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” in August that the hack “felt very weird and unprecedented.”

In late August, OpenAI released more details about the hack, painting an even more harrowing picture than what was initially reported. That month, the U.K. government’s AI Security Institute (AISI) reported that it discovered Anthropic’s Mythos 5 and OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol created fake identities and attempted to persuade real people to approve malicious code.

Anthropic said in its post Wednesday that it plans to conduct an alignment assessment of the transcripts reported by AISI. A day after the AISI report, Meta said one of its AI models “exploited a security vulnerability” during testing and hacked into another company.

On Tuesday, Anthropic researcher Evan Hubinger said he believes that “AI could kill all humans.”

“I personally think it is >10% within the next decade,” he said in an X post.

His post was in response to Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, who had resigned and issued a stark warning on X earlier that day, saying “no other human activity poses this level of danger,” while detailing his decision to leave.

“The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade,” he said in his post. “This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible – but I hear the same people express fear privately.”

Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee lost his Democratic primary Wednesday to businesswoman Helena Foulkes, becoming the first sitting governor in the country since 2018 to be denied his party’s nomination.

Foulkes, a former CVS executive and current Costco board member, defeated McKee in a rematch of their closely fought 2022 Democratic primary, when McKee edged her by just a few percentage points.

McKee’s defeat Wednesday adds another incumbent to a growing list of officeholders ousted during the 2026 primary season.

McKee first became governor in 2021 after Gov. Gina Raimondo left office to serve as Commerce Secretary in the Biden administration. The former Cumberland mayor and two-term lieutenant governor went on to win his first full term in 2022 after narrowly emerging from a crowded Democratic primary that included Foulkes.

INCUMBENT GOP GOVERNOR ROLLS TO PRIMARY VICTORY AFTER KEEPING TRUMP AT A DISTANCE

The last sitting governor to lose his party’s nomination was Kansas Republican Gov. Jeff Colyer. Colyer lost the 2018 GOP primary to then-Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, backed by Donald Trump at the time, by fewer than 400 votes.

Foulkes has spent decades in the private sector, including as a senior executive at Rhode Island-based CVS Health, and later served as CEO of Hudson’s Bay Company. She sits on Costco’s board of directors.

Her 2026 campaign marked Foulkes’ second bid for elected office after finishing second to McKee in the 2022 Democratic gubernatorial primary.

The rematch centered in part on the candidates’ competing arguments over their records and leadership.

Foulkes criticized McKee’s management of state government, including his administration’s handling of the Washington Bridge, which was abruptly closed over structural concerns in December 2023 and remains under reconstruction.

McKee defended his administration’s record and repeatedly targeted Foulkes’ tenure at CVS, suggesting she is an out-of-touch corporate executive and going after her leadership role at the company amid its controversial handling of prescription opioids.

Foulkes will advance to the November general election as a favorite against the winner of the Republican primary between Aaron Guckian, the GOP’s 2022 nominee for Rhode Island lieutenant governor, and retired business executive Elaine Pelino.

Barry Melrose, prominent NHL player, coach and broadcaster, dies at 70

Barry Melrose, a hockey player-turned-coach who led the Los Angeles Kings to the 1993 Stanley Cup Final before going on to a long career in broadcasting the sport, has died. He was 70.

ESPN announced Melrose’s death Wednesday after his wife informed the network.

“From the flowing locks of his distinctive mullet to the flared lapels of his trademark long suit coats, Barry Melrose cut an unmistakable figure whenever you were fortunate enough to run into him at a rink or catch him on your television screen,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. “You were even more fortunate if you engaged him in conversation or listened to his analysis because he never failed to boost your love of the game of hockey.”

Melrose stepped away from his analyst role in 2023 after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Wayne Gretzky at the time said Melrose was “bigger than any team.”

Melrose had a relatable everyman’s broadcasting style, bringing a sense of humor to his insights, and was easily recognized by his goatee and slicked-back hair.

“For decades, Barry Melrose was one of the most distinctive and trusted voices in hockey,” ESPN said in a statement. “His knowledge of the game was deep, his candor was refreshing and his passion was unmistakable.”

From rural Kelvington, Saskatchewan, Melrose broke into pro hockey with the Cincinnati Stingers of the now-defunct World Hockey Association in 1976. He played three seasons in Cincinnati — the last teaming with a young Mark Messier — and, following the WHA’s demise, made the transition to the NHL with Winnipeg in 1979.

Melrose went on to play for Toronto and Detroit, where he closed his career following the 1985-86 season.

He finished with 10 goals and 33 points and 728 penalty minutes in 300 career NHL regular-season games, and he skated in seven more in the playoffs. His WHA totals were five goals and 32 points and 343 penalty minutes in 178 games with Cincinnati.

Melrose turned to coaching and led the Adirondack Red Wings to win the American Hockey League Calder Cup championship in 1992.

The following year, Melrose was hired by the Kings, where he brought a sense of colorful flare and instant success to Los Angeles. In his rookie season, he coached a Kings team that featured Gretzky to make a memorable playoff run. They reached the final before losing to Montreal in five games.

Melrose finished with a record of 79-101 and 29 ties over two-plus seasons in L.A. before being fired midway through the 1994-95 season.

He was hired by ESPN in 1996 and left broadcasting for what became a brief stint coaching the Tampa Bay Lightning in Steven Stamkos’ rookie season in 2008-09. Melrose was fired 16 games into the season following a 5-7-4 start and returned to broadcasting.

Melrose also was known for his long-ball hitting prowess in fast-pitch softball, joining fellow Kelvington-area NHL players Wendel Clark, Joey Kocur, Kelly Chase and Kevin Kaminski and others in the offseason in Saskatchewan to form what some call “the toughest team there ever was.”

台湾执政的民进党立委林岱桦涉诈领助理费案仍在高雄地方法院审理，当地检方如今再以侵占政治献金对她等三人追加起诉。

据台媒早前报道，林岱桦涉嫌诈领助理费逾1400万元新台币（56万新元），高雄地检署今年6月结束侦办此案后，以贪污罪起诉林岱桦。此案目前仍在高雄地院审理。

综合台湾《中国时报》《自由时报》报道，高雄检方如今查出，她与弟弟林岱融等三人，涉嫌透过实质掌控公司开立虚伪发票，申报政治献金支出，公益侵占金额达1379万余元新台币，高雄地检署星期三（9月9日）依公益侵占等罪，向上述三人提出追加起诉。

检方调查发现，林岱桦在2020年和2024年参选立委时，政治献金专户共募得上亿元新台币。林岱桦与担任佳安税务记帐士事务所、茂盛公司及融威公司实际负责人的弟弟林岱融，涉嫌以茂盛公司账户开立大量不实发票，指示员工向监察院申报政治献金支出，两次选举合计不实申报647万余元新台币。

检方比对金流发现，这些被侵占的政治献金除由林岱融提领现金外，还被拿去缴纳与政治献金毫无关系的佳安事务所客户税款及三个社团的营所税。

此外，林岱桦与林岱融的林姓大学同学另以融威公司作为洗钱管道，自2021年10月起，由林岱融以发票金额5%为代价，指示林姓同学采每月定额申报的模式，由融威公司开立不实发票，不实申报两届政治献金达731万余元新台币。

检方侦查时，林岱桦否认涉案，称政治献金申报全交由弟弟处理，林岱融也否认犯行。

检方认为，政治献金依法仅得用于人事、宣传等法定支出，林岱桦等三人利用两家公司开立假发票，持续侵占政治献金达1379万余元新台币，并与已在审理的林岱桦涉贪案有关联，因此依法向高雄地院提起追加起诉。

林岱桦星期三在声明中指出，她毕生奉献政治、心系台湾未来及民众福祉，迄今身无恒产、不贪不取，实无任何侵占政治献金的动机，检方追加起诉与事实不符，待收到正式起诉书，会与律师研究后提出答辩，以争取应有的清白，“相信司法终将还给岱桦公道”。

特朗普：若共和党胜选 每个美国成年人将获5000美元

美国总统特朗普承诺，如果共和党11月中期选举保住国会控制权，就向每个美国成年人发放5000美元（约6322新元）。

法新社报道，特朗普星期三（9月9日）在达拉斯举行的共和党中期选举全国大会上说：“如果共和党获胜，你们也随之获胜，并将获得5000美元。这就是‘特朗普红利’。”

特朗普并未说明这笔资金会从何处筹集。理论上，这笔“特朗普红利”开支可能超过1万亿美元。他只是表明，“我们的国家正在赚取巨额财富”。

达拉斯大会是共和党首次为迎战中期选举举办全国大会，特朗普则加倍押注自己能帮助共和党逆转民调劣势。

他告诉现场的支持者：“我请求你们假装我的名字就在选票上。我就在选票上，就在选票上，就这一次。”

随着伊朗战争再次推高国际油价，特朗普任内发动的这场战事愈发招致美国民众不满。他本人却颇为乐观，在启程前往达拉斯时告诉记者，伊朗战争会在中期选举完成后立即结束；一旦美国赢得战争，油价也会应声下跌。

他也附和大会上其他共和党人的言论，渲染“共产主义威胁”。“如果他们获胜，这里就会变成一个共产主义国家。”

路透：习近平访印有助外交关系回暖 经贸关系仍受猜疑制约

2026年9月10日 11:40 / 联合早报

路透社报道，中国国家主席习近平预计本周访印出席金砖峰会，但北京尚未证实行程，也未确认是否会与印度总理莫迪会晤。
分析人士指出，中印外交关系近年有所改善，但两国企业仍面临投资监管掣肘、签证审批延误及工业设备受限等经贸障碍。
复旦大学学者林民旺认为两国关系不太可能取得重大突破；印度智库人士潘特则指出双方仍存在严重的信任赤字。
消息人士透露，印度放宽部分对华投资限制仍不足以吸引中国龙头企业重返；中国企业赴印投资也面临中方更严格审查。

中国国家主席习近平预计本周访问印度，这将是他七年来首次访印。此访有望进一步推动中印外交关系回暖，但目前鲜有迹象显示，两国经贸关系将随之改善。

据路透社报道，分析人士称，两国企业仍面临诸多障碍，包括投资项目受监管规定掣肘、签证审批延误，以及工业设备受到限制等，凸显中印外交关系改善与经贸关系发展之间的落差。

尽管外界普遍预计习近平将于本周末赴新德里出席金砖国家年度峰会，但北京方面尚未证实这一行程。目前也没有消息显示，他是否会与印度总理莫迪举行会晤。

中国外交部星期二（9月8日）举行例行记者会。法新社记者问及中方将由谁出席本周末举行的金砖峰会，以及对峰会有何期待。

中国外交部发言人毛宁当时回应：“中国重视金砖合作，支持印度成功举办今年的领导人会晤，但是你的具体问题我目前没有可以提供的消息。”

2020年，一场边境冲突造成20名印度士兵和四名中国士兵死亡，令两国关系进一步恶化。不过，近年来中印关系有所改善，尤其是在莫迪去年访华之后，而两国与美国的关系也都面临波动。

路透社引述上海复旦大学南亚研究中心副主任、曾任中国驻印度大使馆外交官的林民旺说：“中国当然希望改善关系，但我们还要看印度究竟在多大程度上愿意改善关系。”他认为，两国关系不太可能取得重大突破。

新德里智库观察家研究基金会副总裁潘特（Harsh Pant）则指出，两国之间仍存在严重的“信任赤字”。

他说：“中国拥有强大的经济实力，现在是发挥这一优势、成为可靠合作伙伴的良机，尤其是在两国都受到美国贸易政策影响的情况下。”

印度3月放宽了2020年边境冲突后实施的部分对华投资限制，主要涉及电子产品、生产设备和太阳能电池等领域。此外，印度也在考虑加快审批部分行业的中印企业合资项目。

不过，一名印度政府消息人士透露，这些措施仍不足以吸引比亚迪、长城汽车等中国龙头企业重新赴印投资。此前，这些企业因印度政府加强审查而搁置在当地的投资计划。

上述消息人士和另一名知情者说，中国企业赴印投资计划也面临中国政府更严格的审查，包括涉及先进制造和高端技术的领域。

也有印度消息人士透露，中国有关部门已要求企业不要向印度出售关键技术和基础设施，包括港口设备、太阳能电池板和手机制造设备。

去年，中印两国恢复直航，印度也放宽了中国商务人士的签证申请程序。

不过，一名消息人士和一名行业高管透露，近期一些在中国有业务的印度商界人士在申请签证时遇到困难。中国外交部说，将依法依规向“有正当来华需求的印度公民”颁发签证。

与此同时，一名行业高管和两名印度消息人士说，今年，印度太阳能、电子产品和基础设施建设等关键领域所需的中国制造设备和零部件，在中国海关通关受阻。

印度消息人士和一名印度政府官员称，一批用于印度重点基础设施项目的中国大型掘进机已被滞留超过一年。

总部位于新德里的智库“全球贸易研究倡议”创始人、前印度贸易谈判代表斯里瓦斯塔瓦（Ajay Srivastava）说，签证和设备受阻“反映的问题不只是行政层面的摩擦”，更显示出中国有意将印度在贸易和技术上对华的依赖作为筹码。

不过，如果习近平和莫迪的会晤进展顺利，或有助于消除部分障碍。
