9月19日华盛顿报道，据多位消息人士透露，白宫新闻秘书莱维特近日获美国特勤局（SIA）委派专人保护。 此举是在美国著名保守派活动家柯克（Charlie Kirk）遭枪击被暗杀后做出的，该政治暴力事件引发了美国社会各界对公众场合知名人士安全问题的讨论。 美国国会目前正在考虑额外拨款5800万美元，以加强联邦行政和司法部门官员的安保。 虽然白宫新闻秘书配备特勤局安保人员并不常见，但这并非史无前例。现任阿肯色州州长的桑德斯（Sarah Huckabee Sanders）在2018年担任特朗普总统第一任期的发言人期间，曾被临时指派特勤局人员驻守家中。 当年对桑德斯的配备特勤局安保人员的行动，是在弗吉尼亚州列克星敦的一家餐厅公开对桑德斯拒绝服务后做出的。桑德斯随后在推特上发布了此事，在社交媒体上引发了轩然大波。
9月18日威斯康星州拉辛报道，科技巨头微软（Microsoft）今天宣布，将斥资40亿美元在威斯康星州建设第二个数据中心。 微软总裁兼副董事长史密斯（Brad Smith）在新闻发布会上表示，微软斥资33亿美元在威斯康星州的第一个数据中心将于2026年初投入使用，该数据中心将容纳数十万块能够处理人工智能模型的英伟达 Blackwell GB200芯片。 史密斯表示，第二个数据中心的规模将与第一个数据中心相似，并将于2027年或之后投入运营，“我们确实停下来仔细思考了第二阶段的具体建设内容，以及如何建设。” 史密斯在一篇博客文章中写道，微软计划将其消耗的化石燃料能源量与将贡献给电网的无碳能源量相匹配。 史密斯写道：“我们理解全国能源价格上涨的现状，并努力确保我们的数据中心不会增加邻居们的成本，因此，我们预付了即将使用的能源和电力基础设施费用——确保价格保持稳定，并保护消费者免受未来因我们的数据中心而产生的成本上涨的影响。” 史密斯表示，最初的数据中心建在富士康最初计划建造制造厂的土地上，每年将耗水280万加仑，而富士康被允许每天耗水超过700万加仑。 微软首席执行官纳德拉（Satya Nadella）在社交媒体X上的帖子中写道：“它将提供当今全球最快超级计算机10倍的性能，使AI训练和推理工作负载达到前所未有的水平。” 据报道，本周早些时候，史密斯曾表示，该公司已拨款155亿美元用于在英国额外增加基础设施支出，直至2028年。此外，阿姆斯特丹的Nebius集团上周表示，微软已同意在五年内斥资高达194亿美元租用人工智能数据中心。 美国云基础设施提供商正在竞相建设容量，以满足希望运行人工智能模型的公司的需求。从超过7亿人使用OpenAI的ChatGPT，该程序基于微软的Azure云，而从Adobe到Salesforce等软件提供商，也一直在添加增强的人工智能功能以吸引客户。 此外，一座正在微软威斯康星州数据中心西北方向150英里处建设的太阳能发电场，将提供250兆瓦的电力。
9月17日伦敦报道，美国总统特朗普和第一夫人梅拉尼娅今天开始了对英国的国事访问，受到威尔士亲王和公主（Prince and Princess of Wales）的迎接。英国国王查尔斯和王后今晚在温莎城堡举行国宴，与高级皇室成员共同欢迎特朗普总统夫妇。 特朗普总统今晚在温莎城堡举行的国宴上发表讲话谈到美国和英国之间的特殊关系时说：“我们就像一个和弦中的两个音符，或者同一首诗中的两节诗句，各自美丽，但又注定要结合在一起。” 特朗普总统在宴会前的讲话中表示，他对英国的第二次国事访问是“我一生中最高的荣誉之一”。 “能成为第一位在这里受到欢迎的美国总统，我感到非常荣幸，如果你仔细想想，有很多总统，这是第二次国事访问，这是第一次，也许这将是最后一次。”“但这确实是我一生中最高的荣誉之一，对你和你的国家的尊重。” 据报道，历史上从没有任何一位美国总统或其他世界领导人有幸对英国进行第二次国事访问。今天的欢迎庆祝仪式规模空前，有120匹马和1300名士兵，其中包括人们记忆中最大的仪仗队。 据报道，特朗普总统最早的记忆之一，他经常分享小时候着迷于看到的玛丽女王（Queen Mary）于1953年伊丽莎白二世女王（Queen Elizabeth)加冕礼。 76岁的查尔斯国王在晚宴上发表讲话时阐述了美英两国之间的特殊关系。查尔斯国王说：“我们两国之间的纽带确实非凡，这种纽带在战火中锻造，通过我们共同的努力而得到巩固，并因两国人民之间的深厚感情而更加光彩夺目。经过一次又一次的考验，这种纽带承载着我们共同目标的重担，并激发了我们对更美好世界的渴望。” 查尔斯还说：“因此，今晚我们再次重温彼此的纽带，我们对彼此的友谊以及对独立和自由的共同承诺抱有坚定不移的信心，因此，在我们庆祝这一无与伦比的伙伴关系之际，请允许我提议为特朗普总统和第一夫人，以及美利坚合众国人民的健康、繁荣和幸福举杯。”
9月17日华盛顿报道，特朗普政府正在对入籍美国公民测试中增加更多题目，要求申请人通过该测试才能成为美国公民。这是特朗普政府收紧合法移民程序的最新举措。 此举将恢复特朗普政府时期的一项2020年测试。该测试已被拜登政府废除，拜登政府认为，新增的题目为寻求成为美国公民的合法移民设置了不必要的障碍。 除其他要求外，申请成为美国公民的合法移民还必须证明他们已在美国作为合法永久居民居住至少3年或5年（具体时间取决于具体情况）；并且能够读、写和说英语；以及对美国历史和政治制度有基本的了解。 长期以来，美国公民入籍测试一直用于评估最后一项要求。根据新版测试，入籍美国公民申请人需要学习128道关于美国历史和政治的问题，并正确回答其中20道题中的12道。此前，在一项可追溯至2008年的测试中，公民身份申请人必须学习100道题库，并正确回答10道题中的6道。 该测试采用口试形式，题目并非选择题。大多数题目都有多个可接受的答案。未通过测试的申请人将有第二次机会通过。如果再次未通过，其公民身份申请将被拒绝。65岁及以上且已在美国永久居住20年或以上的申请人只需学习20道题库，并可以使用其首选语言参加公民身份测试。 负责审理申请入籍美国公民的联邦机构美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）称，新测试将适用于10月中旬之后提交公民身份申请的申请人。 入籍测试的一些新问题涉及《第十修正案》、《联邦党人文集》，关于前总统艾森豪威尔、开国元勋汉密尔顿和麦迪逊的基本历史知识。 最近几周，特朗普政府宣布了其他措施，将更严格地审查美国公民身份申请人，包括扩大在确定申请人是否具有“良好道德品质”时考虑的因素，而“良好道德品质”是成为美国公民的另一项要求。 此外，特朗普政府还恢复了一项长期搁置的做法，即“邻里调查”，即派遣联邦政府调查员采访入籍申请人的邻居和同事，以评估他们是否有资格获得美国公民身份。 美国公民及移民服务局发言人特拉格瑟表示，恢复2020年公民测试将有助于确保那些获准成为美国公民的人“完全融入美国社会，并为美国的伟大贡献”。他表示，此举是“众多改革中的第一步”。 特拉格瑟表示：“美国公民身份是世界上最神圣的公民身份，应该只保留给那些完全拥护我们国家价值观和原则的外国人。” 对公民身份程序的修改是特朗普政府官员为限制获得合法美国移民福利，包括绿卡和工作许可而发起的更大规模运动的一部分。 自特朗普总统第二次就职以来，美国公民及移民服务局积极扩大审查程序，包括更加重视申请人的社交媒体活动。今年夏天发布的一份备忘录指示移民局官员调查绿卡、工作许可和其他移民福利申请人的“反美”观点和活动。
9月17日华盛顿报道，美联储今天批准了一项备受期待的降息举措，并暗示由于对美国劳动力市场的担忧加剧，年底前还将进行两次降息。 美联储联邦公开市场委员会（MOFC）以11比1的投票结果，将基准隔夜贷款利率下调了25个基点，反对票数低于华尔街的预期。该决定将隔夜基金利率区间调整至4.00%-4.25%。 由特朗普总统任命的新任美联储理事米兰（Stephen Miran）是唯一一位投票反对降息25个基点的政策制定者，他支持降息50个基点。 另两位由特朗普总统任命的理事鲍曼（Michelle Bowman）和沃勒（Christopher Waller)，在被调查可能存在更多异议的情况下，投票支持降息25个基点。沃勒尤其担心美联储应该现在放松政策，以应对未来劳动力市场出现的问题，他也被认为是美联储主席鲍威尔（Jerome Powell）的潜在继任者，鲍威尔的任期即将于2026年5月到期。 被特朗普总统罢免的库克（Lisa Cook）是此次投票支持将利率下调四分之一个百分点的多数派理事之一。本周，法院阻止特朗普总统罢免前总统拜登任命的库克。白宫指控库克涉嫌抵押贷款欺诈，涉及她购买房屋时获得的联邦支持贷款，库克拒绝辞职并提起了诉讼。 在会后声明中，该委员会再次将经济活动描述为“放缓”，但补充了“就业增长放缓”的措辞，并指出通胀“已经上升并保持在一定高位”。就业增长放缓和通胀上升与美联储稳定物价和充分就业的双重目标相冲突。 美联储在一份声明中称：“经济前景的不确定性仍然很高。委员会关注其双重使命面临的风险，并判断就业下行风险已经上升。” 除了利率决议之外，美联储还在备受关注的个人预期“点阵图”中指出，年底前还将再降息两次。然而，该网格显示出很大的差异，其中一个点（可能是米兰的点）指向今年总共额外削减 1.25 个百分点。…
