A top elections group affiliated with President Donald Trump is halting spending planned in two key congressional districts held by sitting House Republicans as Election Day looms less than a month away.

MAGA Inc. is reallocating its planned investments in districts represented by Rep. Tom Kean, R-N.J., and Rep. Marianette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, for the remainder of the midterm election cycle, a source familiar with those plans confirmed to Fox News Digital.

A super PAC aligned with House GOP leadership, the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), is also pulling its cash from those districts to reroute into other races, a source familiar with those plans said.

Both groups will instead route those funds into other House races across the country. It comes after recent polling data signaled the two incumbents’ chances for re-election have grown slim.

Republicans’ uphill battle to keep control of the House of Representatives is getting tougher by the day, according to various projections. The latest Fox News Power Rankings show Democrats having an edge in 219 House seats — enough to clinch a majority — while Republicans are projected to keep 198. Nineteen seats are still up in the air.

Kean’s 7th Congressional District is one of the wealthiest in both New Jersey and the U.S. as a whole, encompassing suburbs and exurbs of New York City to the north.

A source close to Kean’s campaign told Fox News Digital that “the race is fully funded down the home stretch.”

Kean’s campaign and House Republicans’ campaign arm “have major reservations on broadcast,” the source said, adding that his Democratic opponent Rebecca Bennett “has no soft dollar reservations on her behalf.”

He and Miller-Meeks represent two of the most purple districts in the country.

Kean won his House seat in 2022 after defeating incumbent former Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., by less than 10,000 votes. His 2024 re-election margin was wider, winning by just over 5%, or 23,000 more votes than his Democrat challenger.

Miller-Meeks, meanwhile, is seeking a fourth term against Democrat Christina Bohannan, whom she defeated twice by roughly 20,000 and 800 votes in 2022 and 2024.

She first won in 2020 by just six votes — earning her the nickname “six-pack” among fellow House Republicans and GOP leadership.

DEMOCRATS SEE NEW CHANCES TO FLIP RED STATES — BUT A $400M GOP SPENDING ADVANTAGE COULD DERAIL THEIR PLANS

Miller-Meeks represents Iowa’s 1st Congressional District in the state’s southeast, encompassing the cities of Davenport and Iowa City.

The New York Times first reported plans by “top Republican super PACs aligned with President Trump and congressional Republican leadership” to pull funding from Kean and Miller-Meeks’ districts over concerns about their polling.

CLF is reportedly pulling the funding as part of a wider reshuffling of its war chest into other districts that Republicans are more confident in.

That includes battleground Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Monica De La Cruz, R-Texas, The Times reported.

The source familiar with CLF’s planning told Fox News Digital the group was also pulling funding from Michigan’s 8th Congressional District and Ohio’s 1st Congressional District, where Republicans were hoping to unseat Reps. Kristen McDonald Rivet, D-Mich., and Greg Landsman, D-Ohio.

中国金花武网绽放 郭涵煜和施晗逆转种子球员晋级

2026年10月13日 23:12 / 联合早报

• 持外卡出战的郭涵煜在武网女单首轮逆转淘汰12号种子索拉娜，取得个人职业生涯首次击败世界前20球员的胜利。 – 郭涵煜首盘落败、次盘挽救三个赛点后抢七胜出，决胜盘一度落后连下四局，最终以7比5逆转晋级次轮。 – 从资格赛突围的施晗以4比6、两个6比3逆转淘汰13号种子亚历山德拉，生涯首次击败世界前20球员。 – 施晗赛后说中网与郑钦文的比赛对她帮助很大，增加了信心并吸取教训做出改变，助她在武网把握机会。

中国金花在女子网球协会（WTA）1000级别赛事武汉网球公开赛正赛女单首轮精彩绽放，持外卡出战的郭涵煜和从资格赛突围的施晗均上演逆转好戏，分别淘汰了赛会12号种子罗马尼亚老将索拉娜·克尔斯蒂亚（Sorana Cirstea）和13号种子菲律宾新星亚历山德拉·埃亚拉（Alexandra Eala），晋级女单次轮。

逆转击败世界排名第16的索拉娜，既是郭涵煜在武网单打正赛的首胜，也是其职业生涯首次击败世界前20的球员。对此，她在赛后复盘比赛时直言没想到。她说：“第一盘1比6、第二盘0比4落后，很难想象自己还能赢。我就是抱着积极的心态，想尽可能在场上多打一会儿，多享受一下在中心球场的感觉。”

正是这种真实而简单的想法，让世界第240、持外卡出战的郭涵煜在被单打经验丰富的36岁老将逼到无路可退的绝境时，突然爆发出惊人能量，展开绝地反击。次盘0比4时连保带破追成4平，随后双方各自保发，6平。在抢七大战中，郭涵煜以3比6再遇险情。最终，她挽救了三个赛点，以小分8比6胜出。

双方各胜一盘，比赛胜负仍充满悬念。但令人没想到是，郭涵煜在决胜盘一度以3比5落后。此刻，在全场加油声中她连下四局，以7比5逆转获得胜利。

郭涵煜说：“没有想到状态会越来越好，包括在对方赛点时我也是想让自己不那么轻易去丢掉这场比赛，就是一直在试着做最后的努力，很开心取得胜利。”

第二次在WTA1000比赛中取得胜利，郭涵煜说：“对手无论实力还是排名都比我高很多，我很开心能有机会与她交手，我只是想尽力而为，看看她到底有多厉害，我还要做些什么才能赶上她，我试着学习一些东西，这就是我今天的目标。”

实际上，28岁的郭涵煜并非无名之辈，她的双打战绩非常傲人，世界排名第15位。她与法国搭档克里斯蒂娜·姆拉德诺维奇（Kristina Mladenovic）夺得今年温网女双锦标。这是她个人职业生涯的首个大满贯双打冠军，也是中国网球史上第六位夺得大满贯女双冠军的球员。当她与索拉娜在场上激战时，其搭档在球员包厢里为其加油，两人闯过武网首轮后已锁定本赛季WTA年终总决赛女双席位。

对此，郭涵煜说：“我的搭档世界排名前10，能和这样一个高排位的选手一起训练和比赛对我帮助非常大，她永远都告诉我能够做得更好，非常信任我。”

施晗生涯‌首胜世界前20球员

21岁的施晗单打世界排名第217，但这并不妨碍她连续两站1000赛挑战高手。中网，她从资格赛突围杀进女单正赛，首轮差点将最终夺冠的郑钦文拉下马，可谓一战成名。郑钦文赛后说：“她是一位非常优秀的选手，底线很扎实很稳定。”

随后施晗马不停蹄奔向武网，再次从资格赛打进正赛。不过，这次她把握住了机会，在星期一（10月12日）晚间第二场，以4比6、两个6比3逆转淘汰了世界第19的亚历山德拉，令其一轮游，爆出本届武网开赛后一大冷门。

这也是施晗职业生涯‌首次击败世界前20选球员，同时也是她个人WTA1000级别赛事正赛的首场胜利。赛后，她说：“非常开心，我觉得发挥出我的真实水平了，第一盘输了之后我及时调整了心态，在第二盘打得更耐心，在自己的发球局尽可能更加强势一点。第三盘也是打得比较耐心。中网与钦文姐的那场球确实对我帮助很大，给我增加了不少信心。当然也吸取了一些教训，做出了一些改变。”

五天三名中管干部被判刑 中国官方或加快审判进度为五中全会造势

2026年10月13日 23:16 / 联合早报

• 江西省政协原副主席胡幼桃因受贿4364万余元，一审被判处有期徒刑13年并罚款300万元。 – 中国国庆假期后五天内已有三名中管干部被判刑，较9月份六名一审判刑的进度明显加快。 – 受访观察人士谭刚强分析，官方或加快审判进度以展现反腐决心，为聚焦从严治党的五中全会造势。 – 学者张执中则认为重点不在加速，而是对中管干部从审查到法办的程序越来越制度化。

在中国江西有“财神爷”之称的副省级高官胡幼桃，退休多年后因受贿罪本周一审获刑13年，成为五天内第三名被判刑的中管干部。受访观察人士指出，中共本月26日召开的五中全会聚焦全面从严治党，官方可能正在加快对落马“老虎”的审判进度为全会造势。

据中国最高法院消息，浙江温州中级法院星期一（10月12日）一审公开宣判江西省政协原副主席胡幼桃受贿4364万余元（人民币，下同，835万新元）一案。这名71岁高官贪污长达28年，包括退休后的七年。法院以受贿罪判处他有期徒刑13年，并罚款300万元。

公开资料显示，胡幼桃来自江西萍乡，毕业于江西财经学院（现江西财经大学）贸易经济专业，大学本科学历，曾在江西工作长达35年，早年在省计委（后改为发改委）、地税局、财政厅等部门任职。

胡幼桃2010年首次当选为江西省政协副主席，2012年当选副省长，2015年二度当选省政协副主席，2018年卸任退休。他退休七年半后，去年6月被官宣落马，成为2022年中共二十大后江西第五名落马高官，12月被开除党籍。

官方通报指胡幼桃对抗组织审查，在干部选拔任用工作中为他人谋取利益并收受财物，纵容默许亲属利用其职权谋取私利，为亲属经营活动谋取利益，违规从事营利活动，搞权色、钱色交易等。他还被指违规干预和插手执法活动，与私营企业主大搞权钱交易。

江西官场过去三年多持续动荡，已有九名高官被查。中共二十大后江西第二名落马高官胡强，曾是胡幼桃在江西财政厅的副手。胡幼桃担任省财政厅厅长七年间，胡强担任副厅长，并在胡幼桃2010年卸任后接任厅长。胡幼桃还曾与烟草反腐风暴中最高级别的落马官员凌成兴，在江西省政府共事近七年。

中国国庆假期结束后，10月8日复工以来，五天里已有三名中管干部被判刑，除了胡幼桃，还包括中央巡视组原副部级巡视专员许传智、湖北省政协原副主席周先旺，他们先后因受贿一审获刑12年、14年。和之前9月份仅有六名中管干部一审判刑比较起来，审判进度明显加快。

长期观察地方政治的重庆市协和心理顾问事务所所长谭刚强，接受《联合早报》采访时分析，官方加快审判进度可能旨在进一步展现反腐决心，并在经济形势不景气的节点上转移矛盾凝聚共识，以确保内部安定。

谭刚强指出，中共五中全会聚焦全面从严治党，而这些判决展现官方对贪腐绝不手软，“与这一次会议的主调吻合”。

台湾开南大学人文社会学院教授张执中受访时则说：“中共二十大以来的落马人数已经足以为五中全会造势。”他指出，本周三名被判刑的中管干部，从开除党籍到审判所花时间相近，“因此重点不在加速，而是对中管干部从审查到法办，程序越来越制度化”。

Fox News Power Rankings: As the House falls, the Senate stays in play

There are two big differences between the previous Trump-era midterms and this year’s contest.

The first is the president’s approval rating, which is lower now than it was during President Donald Trump’s first term in 2018 or President Joe Biden’s term in 2022.

The second is Democrats’ generic ballot lead, which is wider and more enduring than it was in the 2018 “blue wave” election and much larger than the edge the GOP had in 2022.

Combined with Democrats’ candidate quality improvements and a Republican-led redistricting effort that could fall short of expectations, the House is likely out of reach for the GOP this year.

REPUBLICANS FACE BRUTAL MIDTERM HEADWINDS. SIX FORCES COULD HELP THEM DEFY HISTORY.

Fox News Power Rankings – House.(Remy Numa/Fox News)

Then there’s a similarity: in all three elections, the Senate has been in play right up until the finish line.

In Trump’s first term, the Republicans ended up gaining two Senate seats despite a gloomy national environment. Four years ago, with inflation surging, the Democrats managed to add a Senate seat to their tally.

12 RACES SCRAMBLE SENATE BATTLEFIELD AS DEMOCRATS EYE COMEBACK

Fox News Power Rankings Senate forecast.(Remy Numa/Fox News)

The Democrats have plentiful paths to 51 seats on election night. Republicans keep plowing money into six toss-up states, plus Kansas, and those efforts haven’t much moved the needle.

Yet the GOP’s paths to 50 are getting wider. That, plus a major update to the House forecast, in this week’s edition of the Power Rankings.

House: Democrats set to take control with up to 237 seats

The Democratic Party has enjoyed a lead in the House all year. Now, as another 20 races shift leftward, this forecast sees the Democrats taking control.

THE BLUE WAVE LOOKS REAL UNTIL YOU LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER

Fox News Power Rankings House forecast.(Remy Numa/Fox News)

Democrats have an advantage in at least 219 seats, while Republicans should hold on to at least 198 seats. There are 18 toss-ups on the board.

On a good night for the Democrats, the party will hold around 237 seats, or a gain of 22 from their current position. That’s because toss-up seats have mostly fallen in one party’s direction in previous elections.

FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS: FOR THE DEMOCRATS, WHERE COULD IT POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Fox News Power Rankings House forecast.(Remy Numa/Fox News)

(A “great night” for the Democrats, which would see the party take some Lean R seats as well, would mean a Democratic majority of up to 249.)

If the toss-up seats go the other way, the GOP could make life hard for the left. A good night for Republicans would see the party end up with around 216 seats. That’s two short of a majority but also leaves the Democrats with a mere two-vote cushion in the House.

Fox News Power Rankings House forecast.(Remy Numa/Fox News)

In that scenario, a coalition of far-left Democrats, like the “Squad” of years past, could band together to put policy pressure on the next House speaker. That group is about to get bigger, thanks to the sure-thing victories of Democratic Socialists like Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez.

Some of this week’s shifts are a product of polling. The Democrats’ generic ballot lead has pushed districts like Kentucky’s 6th District (Lexington and its suburbs) and Texas’ 15th District (Rio Grande Valley and Coastal Bend) away from the GOP.

Fox News Power Rankings House forecast.(Remy Numa/Fox News)

The party’s strength in statewide races also plays a role, especially in Iowa (the 1st and 3rd districts, which contain the state’s biggest cities), and in Pennsylvania (three districts have shifted to the left, thanks in part to Governor Josh Shapiro’s coattails).

Other shifts are the result of Republican groups moving resources elsewhere, like from New York’s 19th District. Democratic Rep. Josh Riley lost this race by fewer than 5,000 votes four years ago, but as the GOP sends its money to more winnable races, it’s moving to Solid D.

A more surprising theme is also emerging: the GOP is in trouble with rural voters.

Sitting above Albany, New York’s 21st District contains some of the state’s most rural areas. Its voters delivered President Trump a 21-point victory over Vice President Harris two years ago. A survey last week had the Democratic candidate four points ahead of the Republican, 46%-42%.

Maine’s 2nd District, which famously voted for President Trump three times in a row – and last time by nine points – is an open race this year after Rep. Jared Golden’s retirement. It was thought to be one of the best flip opportunities for the GOP. A new poll has the Democrat at 51% and the Republican at 45%.

Even Virginia’s 5th District, stretching across the Southside region and home to a two-thirds rural population, is a six-point race in a recent survey (45%-51% with the Republican ahead). The Democrat, Tom Perriello, was recently endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Gas, diesel and grocery prices are to blame. In dollar terms, the cost of living is higher in cities and suburbs, but voters across the country keep saying they are feeling the pressure of those increases and blame Republicans for them.

Fox News Power Rankings House forecast.(Remy Numa/Fox News)

Iowa, for example, has experienced the fourth-highest gas price hike in the nation. Kentucky, Ohio and Texas are all in the top five states for diesel increases. That has proven tough for GOP candidates to counter.

New York’s 21st District moves from Solid R to Likely R. (Virginia’s 5th and Maine’s 2nd districts remain at Lean R and Toss-up, respectively.)

Senate: Michele Tafoya plays offense in Minnesota

The Senate is still a toss-up with Democrats and Republicans taking 47 seats apiece. Six toss-ups are the most likely to determine control.

If Democrats win all six of those states, the party will take the majority with two seats to spare, for a total of 53. On the other hand, this forecast still sees a pathway for the GOP not to lose any seats. They’d accomplish that just by holding on to the same six states.

Fox News Power Rankings Senate forecast.(Remy Numa/Fox News)

The toss-ups have largely been locked in through summer. There’s been a lot more movement in the “lean” categories (Kansas in, Georgia and North Carolina out). Collectively, you can think of these as the election night battlegrounds.

This week, a ninth state joins the list: Minnesota.

The North Star State has been on the political radar since Republicans recruited Michele Tafoya, the former NFL sideline reporter. She has deftly navigated her foray into politics by focusing on fraud, crime, and the cultural issues that animate GOP voters.

Fox News Power Rankings Minnesota Senate forecast.(Remy Numa/Fox News)

She also has a favorable matchup against Peggy Flanagan, Minnesota’s sitting lieutenant governor. It’s not clear whether Flanagan’s progressive politics or her proximity to the fraud issue is giving voters pause. Whatever the cause, there are signs that they are.

A new gold-standard survey shows 47% of likely voters support Flanagan, while 43% back Tafoya. Another 9% are undecided.

Republicans are fully united behind Tafoya, while 9-in-10 Democrats say they’ll support Flanagan’s bid. Independents are much less settled: 38% back Tafoya, 32% support Flanagan, and 29% haven’t decided.

Fox News Power Rankings Minnesota Senate forecast.(Remy Numa/Fox News)

Minnesota’s voter profile and election history suggest that there are some left-of-center voters in the “independent” column. They may be wavering on Flanagan now, then show up to vote for her on election day.

The Senate hopeful’s spot on the ballot next to Amy Klobuchar, the Democrats’ gubernatorial candidate and electoral over-performer, may also help push her over the line.

Either way, that poll can’t be ignored. Minnesota moves from Likely D to Lean D.

胡塞武装媒体：沙特空袭萨那石油设施 联军此前警告撤离

2026年10月13日 23:11 / 联合早报

胡塞武装媒体星期二（10月13日）报道，沙特领导的联军袭击了也门首都萨那以西的石油设施。此前，联军曾要求平民撤离也门石油公司的萨巴哈中央站及附近储油区。

法新社报道，其驻萨那记者称听到了爆炸声，而胡塞武装旗下的马西拉电视台发布的突发新闻快讯称：“沙特侵略行动针对的是位于萨那以西萨巴哈（Al-Sabaha）地区的石油公司设施。”

此前，胡塞武装在沙特境内，特别是针对利雅得机场发动一系列致命袭击。作为回应，沙特领导的联军警告平民撤离位于胡塞武装控制区首都附近的萨巴哈油库，这个设施隶属于也门石油公司。

收到撤离警告后，许多萨那居民担心燃料短缺，纷纷涌向各地加油站排队。

不过，也门石油公司在一份声明中安抚公众，表示已针对紧急情况采取一切必要预防措施，以满足民众需求。

声明说：“萨巴哈设施目前没有储存任何石油产品，因此，针对设施的袭击不会影响燃料库存或供应链。供民众使用的燃料储存在安全设施和地点，数量充足，足以满足长期需求。”

网安与AI治理路线不同 美重伙伴合作 联合国中国倡全球协调

2026年10月13日 23:56 / 联合早报

• 第11届新加坡国际网络周举行，美国、中国和联合国代表就网络安全与人工智能治理阐述不同合作方向。 – 美国代表凯恩克罗斯认为传统国际机构决策迟缓，主张与立场相近的可靠伙伴实时共享威胁情报并共同追责。 – 中国代表王营康指出跨境合作迫切，称中国已与80多个国家和地区近300个组织建立网安合作关系。 – 联合国特使吉尔认为各国不应各自为政，主张通过全球对话协调政策，并制定AI测试验证最低标准。

面对日益复杂的网络安全威胁与人工智能治理问题，美国、中国和联合国代表在新加坡国际网络周上各自阐述国际合作的方向，从建立多边机制到主张只与立场相近的国家合作，展现不同的政策思路。

第11届新加坡国际网络周星期二（10月13日）举行开幕式，主题为“网络正值十字路口：塑造网络新秩序”。美国、中国和联合国代表分别登台发表讲话。

随着人工智能（AI）从回答问题，逐步发展到能够自主执行任务，网络安全风险也变得更加复杂。人工智能代理（AI Agent）不仅可能被网络罪犯利用来发动攻击，本身也可能因失控或越权操作，对现实世界造成影响。

与此同时，各国的数码系统和供应链紧密相连，当一地出现安全漏洞，便可能迅速波及其他国家。面对这些跨境风险，各方都认同加强合作的重要性，但对于如何建立合作机制，提出了不同方向。

美国总统特朗普的网络安全政策与战略首席顾问、国家网络总监凯恩克罗斯（Sean Cairncross）说，传统国际机构的决策方式，已难以跟上网络威胁变化的速度。他指出，人们不能再用昨天的思维，保障未来的安全。

“新的网络安全局面，不能交由那些决策迟缓、官僚化、为求妥协而迟迟无法行动的国际机构或全球治理框架应对。未来的网安须由值得信赖、愿意采取行动的伙伴共同塑造，而不是等待各方达成只求最低共识的协议。”

凯恩克罗斯强调，合作国家应实时共享网络威胁情报，并在遭受攻击时共同追究攻击者的责任。他也提醒各国，选择网络技术时不能只看价格，更要考虑技术供应商是否可靠，以及供应链是否存在安全隐患。

他警告：“看似便宜的技术，长远而言可能带来更高昂的安全代价。”

中国则强调建立公正合理的全球人工智能治理体系，并加强跨境网络安全合作。

中国中央网络安全和信息化委员会办公室网络安全协调局副局长王营康指出，随着AI代理放大网安威胁跨境传播的速度和范围，任何国家都难以独善其身，跨境合作需求更加迫切。

中国已与全球80多个国家和地区的近300个组织建立合作关系，在网络安全信息共享、事故应急协调和技术支援等方面展开合作。

王营康说，中国愿与各国进一步加强AI代理安全威胁的信息共享、风险通报和联合应对，防止风险扩散。

联合国：各国不应各自为政

联合国则认为，各国虽然对AI治理采取不同方式，但不应因此各自为政。

联合国副秘书长兼数码和新兴技术特使吉尔（Amandeep Singh Gill）指出，联合国正从三方面推动国际合作，包括以科学证据为基础制定政策、通过全球对话协调各国政策，以及协助资源不足的国家提升AI安全能力。

他认为，单靠各国政府和科技企业自行采取安全措施并不足够，国际社会至少须在三个方面合作：协助各国建立识别AI风险的基本安全设施、制定AI测试和验证的最低标准，以及加强信息共享和事故通报。

报告：法国各部委养老金支出拖累公共服务支出

法国一份政府报告显示，部分部委近三成的预算用于支付退休公务员养老金，挤压教育等公共服务的支出。

法新社报道，这份长达250页的报告首次详细列出各部委承担的公务员退休金成本。报告公布之际，法国日益高昂的养老金支出正受到越来越多关注。

数据显示，教育部32%的预算（即285亿欧元，约408亿新元）流向了用于支付国家公务员养老金的专项账户。

智库“蒙田研究所”经济学家斯拜希在社交平台X上说：“在学生抗议活动进行期间，法国公众得知，分配给国家教育系统的预算中，有三分之一实际上并未用于教育事业。”

负责管理法国国家警察的内政部，其预算中用于养老金的比例为30%。在所有部委中，这一比例的平均值约为13%。

报告指出，2000年至2023年间，养老金支出占国内生产总值（GDP）的比重上升了2.5个百分点，教育支出占GDP的比重则下降了0.5个百分点。

报告说：“因此，部委预算中的养老金支出产生了挤出效应：用于支付养老金的资金便无法再用于公共服务。”

报告也显示，法国国家公务员养老金体系中，每名领取养老金者仅对应0.94名在职缴费人员；相比之下，私营部门基本养老金体系的比例为1.5。

伊朗密集袭击导致更多超级油轮空载远离波斯湾

（富查伊拉/伦敦综合电）随着伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队更加密集地攻击穿过霍尔木兹海峡的油轮，很多大型油轮的运营商宁可舍弃高额经济报酬，也选择掉头远离这个高风险航道，让外界再次担忧波斯湾的原油出口是否可持续。

彭博社星期二（10月13日）根据汇总的油轮跟踪数据报道，近几天来，至少有10艘超大型原油轮（VLCC）和数艘苏伊士型（Suezmax）油轮在行驶到靠近阿联酋富查伊拉（Fujairah）港口时，选择停航或空载掉头离开。

虽然仍有油轮继续驶往相关海域，但大部分前往阿曼湾和波斯湾的油轮都会选择富查伊拉作为过渡港，因此这个数据可以反映出油轮运营商对使用这些水道的意愿。

目前，革命卫队几乎每天都在对通过霍尔木兹海峡的油轮发动攻击。革命卫队海军星期一（12日）通报击中了一艘在霍尔木兹海峡航行的超级油轮，导致游轮起火；英国海上贸易行动办公室（UKMTO）则在10日接获了四起船只在霍尔木兹海峡遇袭的独立事件报告。

波斯湾地区原油出口商使用的代替方案，是让大型油轮停在富查伊拉港或霍尔木兹海峡外的阿曼海域等待，由接驳油轮（shuttle tankers）承担穿过霍尔木兹风险，将原油转送至大型油轮再运往海外。

这个方案帮助波斯湾地区的原油出口量恢复到了接近战前的水平，但它的运转高度依赖稳定前来的接货油轮，因此超大型原油轮的空载撤离，将会减缓原油的流动速度，进一步压缩运力。

全球油轮短缺使海运成本已成天价，租赁一艘从美国到中国的油轮的价格，比发射一枚火箭还高，但如此高的收益仍无法阻止油轮运营商撤离，凸显区域航运风险之大。

（富查伊拉/伦敦综合电）随着伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队更加密集地攻击穿过霍尔木兹海峡的油轮，很多大型油轮的运营商宁可舍弃高额经济报酬，也选择掉头远离这个高风险航道，让外界再次担忧波斯湾的原油出口是否可持续。

彭博社星期二（10月13日）根据汇总的油轮跟踪数据报道，近几天来，至少有10艘超大型原油轮（VLCC）和数艘苏伊士型（Suezmax）油轮在行驶到靠近阿联酋富查伊拉（Fujairah）港口时，选择停航或空载掉头离开。

White House has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign as US ambassador to Greece

2026-10-13T14:04:10.305Z / CNN

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the embattled US ambassador to Greece, has been asked to resign from her position after a string of reports about alleged misconduct, marking a sudden and spectacular downfall for a high-profile figure in the MAGA movement with close ties to President Donald Trump’s family.

New press secretary Katie Zacharia confirmed in her first press briefing Tuesday that the White House had “asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign,” adding, “She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her luck.”

Questioned by reporters later about the move, Trump was less laudatory of Guilfoyle.

“I didn’t like what I read,” he said, adding that he had not spoken with Guilfoyle personally.

In a lengthy post on X, Guilfoyle acknowledged her time “may be coming to an end,” while disputing the recent allegations against her.

“I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity,” she wrote.

Guilfoyle’s ouster comes following reports that she sought money in exchange for providing access to administration figures before she was confirmed to her position, accepted lavish gifts as ambassador and brought a lobbyist for a Greek construction company into official meetings. Lawyers for Guilfoyle have denied the allegations about seeking money and said reports about her travel were misleading, adding that she complied with federal gift and reporting requirements.

While administration officials had signaled public discomfort with Guilfoyle’s alleged misconduct since the reports first emerged, she appeared reluctant to resign throughout the weekend and had been working to rally support among some administration officials, people familiar with the matter said. Even before the allegations first became public, she began reaching out to allies in and around the administration, asking for help navigating the impending story, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Guilfoyle had initially told some allies in the administration that the reporting was inaccurate, and her lawyers later claimed she was seeking to recoup debts when she asked a Trump donor to pay off a $100,000 American Express bill. Guilfoyle insisted that the donor was lying and that it was all a misunderstanding — claiming that the donor owed her money and it was not “pay-for-play.” Going into the weekend, she told allies that she would not resign, and claimed that she had been told she would not be fired, two sources told CNN.

But her efforts did little to tamp down on frustrations about the reports, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in particular was eager to see her gone, the people familiar said.

“She was basically fired on live TV,” one source said.

Eric Deters, a former Trump donor, said Guilfoyle asked him in a text message to wire her $100,000 to pay off an American Express card in the days before her Senate confirmation. She said she would be his “ride or die” in the Trump administration if he did it, Deters said.

“No question it was a quid pro quo,” Deters told CNN’s Jake Tapper last week.

Deters did not wire Guilfoyle the money, saying he didn’t have the liquid assets at the time.

Lawyers for Guilfoyle said in a statement to CNN that Deters owed Guilfoyle money for speeches and consulting work and called his statements false.

“When Ms. Guilfoyle was preparing to leave private life for public service, she did what any professional does and tried to close out her outstanding receivables. Asking a client to pay for work already done is not corruption. It is the opposite of corruption,” her lawyers wrote.

In her post on X, Guilfoyle similarly said the allegations against her were “false.”

“I have dedicated my professional life to fighting for justice, standing up for what is right, and defending the values that make America exceptional,” she wrote. “I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service.”

Guilfoyle was engaged for four years to the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. – though the president said Tuesday she “wasn’t a member of my family” and only “dated my son a long time ago.” After she and Donald Trump Jr.’s split, she was tapped to serve as ambassador to Greece and took on the role in September 2025. The president confirmed Monday he was considering dismissing Guilfoyle.

“We’re looking at it — yeah. We’re not happy,” Trump told reporters as he departed the White House.

Rubio was traveling to Greece when the reports of her alleged “pay for play” scheme were first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Guilfoyle attended multiple events with Rubio, and at the time he refused to comment on the reports. The Journal earlier reported on her alleged promotion of a Greek energy firm for regional energy deals.

During the trip to Athens, Rubio praised Guilfoyle as a “strong ambassador here” and rebuffed questions about the reports of her misconduct.

“You guys walk around thinking that because some source told you something and you reported it, it’s the gospel. It’s not the gospel. It’s not the gospel for me. That’s not the way we do things,” Rubio said before he boarded his plane to leave the country, with Guilfoyle looking on.

But privately, one source familiar with the matter said, Rubio expressed annoyance that Guilfoyle seemed intent on appearing at every event alongside him.

The reports triggered questions and calls for investigations from Democrats on Capitol Hill. Rep. Gregory Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, called for Guilfoyle to come before the committee and said that “ it must be determined whether Ambassador Guilfoyle solicited funds from any other source.”

Following Tuesday’s announcement that Guilfoyle had been asked to resign, the House Foreign Affairs Committee Democrats noted that “resigning does not shield her from accountability.

“Guilfoyle used her position as a Trump official to get rich, while American families struggle with the cost of living,” the committee wrote on X. “Congress must conduct oversight to understand how this happened and hold the admin accountable.”

The State Department’s Office of the Inspector General is investigating Guilfoyle amid the misconduct allegations, according to source familiar with the effort.

“As a matter of policy, OIG does not confirm, deny, or comment on investigative matters,” an inspector general spokesperson said.

It is unclear what will happen with the investigation following her ouster. According to a source familiar with the workings of inspector general offices, it may depend on whether the Department of Justice opens an investigation into her alleged misconduct. If not, the State Department inspector general may continue its work, but its findings could take a year or so to complete.
