美国总统特朗普抨击美国的北大西洋公约组织盟国为“懦夫”，指他们没有理会他要求提供军事援助，以控制霍尔木兹海峡航道。

特朗普星期五（3月20日）在社交媒体真相社交上发帖称：“懦夫，我们会记住你们的！”

法新社引述他说，美国的盟国“不想帮忙打通霍尔木兹海峡，这明明只是一个简单的军事行动，却成了油价高企的唯一原因。对他们来说，这轻而易举，风险也微乎其微。”

路透社引述他说：“没有美国，北约就是一只纸老虎！”

北约驻伊拉克特派团暂时撤离

另据一名伊拉克高级安全消息人士告诉伊拉克国家通讯社，由于地区紧张局势和冲突，北约已开始从伊拉克撤离人员。

消息人士补充说，北约特派团是非战斗性质的顾问特派团，一旦战争结束、伊拉克安全局势稳定，他们将返回伊拉克。

北约发言人哈特告诉法新社：“我们正在调整北约驻伊拉克特派团的部署。”出于安全考虑，她拒绝透露细节。她在声明中说，北约正就此事“与盟国和伙伴国密切协调”。

北约驻伊拉克特派团总部设在巴格达绿区一处伊拉克军事基地，靠近美国大使馆。自战争爆发以来，美国大使馆已多次遭到袭击。

据网站介绍，特派团成立于2018年，目前有数百名来自盟国和伙伴国奥地利和澳大利亚的人员。

WASHINGTON, March 20 (Reuters) – The White House released an artificial intelligence policy ​on Friday that aims to pre-empt state rules, ensure protections for children ‌and shield communities from prohibitive energy costs.

The Trump administration has been pushing for a single legislative framework that can be applied uniformly across the country, rather than leaving states to form their ​own plans.

U.S. President Donald Trump in December said he would withhold federal broadband ​funding from states whose laws to regulate artificial intelligence are judged ⁠by his administration to be holding back American dominance in the technology.

The AI industry ​has been a powerful profit driver for the tech sector in recent years, propelling ​chipmaker Nvidia to become the world’s largest company, while tech behemoths Amazon.com, Meta Platforms, Alphabet and Microsoft pour billions of dollars into the burgeoning sector.

The White House said it looked forward to working ​with Congress to turn the framework into legislation.

“We need one national AI framework, not ​a 50-state patchwork,” Michael Kratsios, science and technology adviser to Trump, told The Daily Signal. “And I ‌think ⁠one of the key provisions of it that will make it all work and come together is really focusing on the bipartisan consensus around protecting America’s children.”

Protections in the White House framework include giving parents control of accounts and devices to protect their ​children’s privacy and suggests ​features to combat ⁠potential sexual exploitation or self-harm.

The framework calls on Congress to streamline permitting so that electricity-gobbling data centers can generate their own ​power on site. It wants to increase the federal government’s ability ​to fight ⁠AI-generated scams and national security concerns.

The plan calls for removing barriers to innovation, accelerating AI deployment across business sectors and making it easier to build top-grade AI systems, with ⁠a goal ​of ensuring global AI dominance.

The framework includes provisions ​on intellectual property rights, preventing censorship and protecting free speech and developing an AI-proficient workforce by educating Americans.

Two former FBI agents who helped investigate efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election sued Thursday to challenge their abrupt firings from the bureau, arguing that their terminations were “solely” due to their involvement in the probe.

The two agents, identified only as John Doe 1 and John Doe 2, accused FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi of politically retaliating against them for their work in the 2020 election case, known internally as “Arctic Frost,” despite having played brief and largely administrative roles in the investigation.

The lawsuit argues that the firings were a violation of FBI policy as well as the agents’ rights under the First and Fifth Amendments of the Constitution. Both former agents are seeking reinstatement to the bureau, and a declaration from the court that their terminations were unlawful.

“Political support for President Trump is not a legal or appropriate requirement for the effective performance of plaintiffs’ respective roles within the F.B.I.,” the lawsuit states. “Accordingly, perceived lack of political support for President Trump is an impermissible basis for termination of plaintiffs’ F.B.I. employment.”

According to the lawsuit, the two agents were fired last fall, within a five-day period, and shortly after, unredacted internal documents related to the Arctic Frost probe were shared with members of Congress.

FBI Director Kash Patel proceeded to “summarily” fire both agents in late October and early November, the lawsuit says, “without evidence,” and without “internal investigation, notice, or hearing” to precede their terminations.

Neither the FBI nor the Justice Department responded to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on their removals, or the new lawsuit. During House testimony Thursday, however, FBI Director Kash Patel dismissed criticism raised by Democrats about terminations within the bureau.

“There’s 36,000 people employed at this FBI,” Patel told lawmakers.

“And I reject the notion wholeheartedly that the termination of those that were weaponizing law enforcement are the only ones that can do the mission,” he added.

The lawsuit argues that the terminations run afoul of FBI policy, which states that non-probationary special agents may be removed only for cause, such as misconduct, national security concerns, or an inability to perform the essential duties or responsibilities of their roles. Both had been lauded for their work at the bureau, it notes, and had received “exemplary” performance reviews and other outside recognition.

“In Arctic Frost, as in all other investigations to which they were assigned, Plaintiffs fully adhered to DOJ policies and procedures, including applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and executed their law enforcement duties without bias or political motives,” they said in the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington, D.C.

Lawyers for the agents also argued the removals break with Patel’s remarks last year during his Senate confirmation hearing, in which he vowed that agents would not be fired based on case assignments, and stressed that personnel decisions “should be based on performance and adherence to the law.”

The lawsuit adds to a growing list of unlawful termination lawsuits filed by ex-FBI agents in recent months, including former agents who have argued they were removed solely for their perceived political views, or for their involvement in certain politically sensitive investigations.

Former Department of Justice officials have cited concerns that the probe or any retaliatory measures carried out as a result could have a chilling effect on the work of the FBI, including its more than 52 separate field offices.

The FBI Agents’ Association, or FBIAA, a voluntary agents’ group that represents more than 14,000 active and former special agents, sharply criticized the removals of the two special agents, saying in a statement released at the time that Patel “has disregarded the law and launched a campaign of erratic and arbitrary retribution.”

“An Agent simply being assigned to an investigation and conducting it appropriately within the law should never be grounds for termination,” the group said.

“FBI Agents deal in facts, and we urge Director Patel to do the same.”

民调：大多数美国人反对出兵伊朗 特朗普支持者仍力挺

（华盛顿综合电）最新民调显示，大多数美国人认为特朗普总统将下令派兵进入伊朗作战，但只有极少数人赞成这么做。

路透社/益普索星期四（3月19日）结束为期三天的调查，调查结果显示，65%的美国人预期特朗普将下令向伊朗发动大规模地面战争，但只有7%的人表示支持。

调查访问1545名美国成年人，特朗普的支持率基本保持不变，为40%，比2月28日美国和以色列袭击伊朗后数小时内进行的民调结果上升了一个百分点。

约37%的美国人总体上支持这场战争，59%的人反对，其中包括约五分之一的共和党人。

不过，认同美国对伊朗采取军事行动的共和党人多达77%。相比之下，民主党人的支持率仅6%，独立选民为28%。

在是否出动地面部队的问题上，55%的美国人反对任何形式的地面部署，即使是小规模特种部队行动，也仅获得34%的支持。

特朗普将美国拖入新的中东战争，引发了美国各界人士的强烈反对，除了他最忠实的支持者、“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）运动人士。

美国全国广播公司（NBC）在2月28日美以首次空袭后不久展开的调查发现，自认属于MAGA阵营的群体中有九成支持军事行动，而未认同这个运动的保守派支持率为54%。

来自弗吉尼亚州的64岁家庭主妇西克说：“我相信他的判断，他知道自己在做什么。”

北卡罗来纳州居民谢休斯则比较纠结。她说：“有些事情确实需要去做，但我不总是认同执行方式。”

但她强调仍然信任自己选出的总统，“我相信他，也希望他出于正确原因做出正确决定”。

来自新泽西州的66岁爱德华​​·杨则说，自从1979年美国支持的伊朗王朝在伊斯兰革命中被推翻以来，他一直盼望华盛顿能够推翻伊朗领导层。

当被问及特朗普竞选时承诺美国不干涉他国内政时，他为特朗普辩护说：“我不认为这是违背承诺，在我看来，总统并没有发动一场新的战争……总统终于开始着手结束这场战争了。”

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., and National Republican Senatorial Committee chair Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., have both endorsed Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., for U.S. Senate.

“Kevin Hern is a proven conservative leader and fighter for Oklahomans in the House, where he has championed our shared Republican agenda. He will be a great asset in the Senate and has my full support and endorsement,” Thune said in a statement.

“Kevin Hern is a principled conservative, Oklahoma-first leader who knows what it means to create jobs and unleash prosperity. He is a fighter for President Trump’s agenda, and we’re excited to welcome him to our Republican majority as Oklahoma’s next Senator,” Scott said in a statement.

President Donald Trump has tapped GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma to take over the role of Department of Homeland Security secretary.

If the Senate confirms Mullin to serve in the post, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican, will get to appoint a replacement to fill the vacancy, but that appointment would come with a significant catch.

Oklahoma state law stipulates that “a person who is a prospective appointee shall submit to the Secretary of State an oath affirming that the person will not file as a candidate for the office when it next appears on the ballot.”

In a post on X last week, Stitt wrote, “I appreciate @POTUS taking time to meet to discuss the importance of appointing a new U.S Senator for Oklahoma. President Trump has made a great selection in Markwayne Mullin to join his cabinet, and I am committed to making a swift decision on his replacement once Mullin is confirmed by the Senate.

Trump endorsed Hern for the Senate seat last week.

美国纪念金币印特朗普肖像 挑战联邦法律规定

发布/2026年3月20日 20:43

（纽约 / 华盛顿综合电）美国美术委员会批准印有总统特朗普肖像的24K金纪念币最终设计，纪念币是为了庆祝美国将于7月4日迎来的250周年国庆。

由特朗普委任的美国美术委员会星期四（3月19日）投票表决，一致通过纪念币的设计。

纪念币正面印有特朗普的肖像，显示他身穿西装打领带，神情严肃，双拳放在桌上，身体前倾；背面则印有一只展翅的秃鹰。

纪念币的尺寸尚未确定，但美国美术委员会成员哈里斯指出，按照特朗普的喜好，“越大越好”。

这款纪念币没有货币价值，且销售价格未公开，但美国铸币局贩售的类似纪念币价格可超过1000美元（约1280新元）。

特朗普去年重新入主白宫后，热衷于在著名政府建筑和军事设施冠上自己的名字，例如美国和平研究所和肯尼迪表演艺术中心改以他的名字命名，一整级新型战舰直接取名为“特朗普级”，打破了以往的命名惯例。

如今，特朗普将自己的肖像印在纪念币上，可能挑战联邦法律的规定，即任何在世总统都不得出现在美国货币上。不过，铸币局设计管理办公室署理主管苏利文说，财政部长有权批准和发行某些货币。

特朗普纪念币引来了民主党人的批评，俄勒冈州民主党籍参议员默克利说：“帝王和独裁者会把自己的头像印在硬币上，民主国家的领导人不会这么做。”

除了这枚纪念币，特朗普政府也提议发行印有特朗普肖像的1美元硬币，可能在今年进入流通。
