11月11日华盛顿报道，美国总统特朗普昨天请求最高法院复审纽约民事陪审团2023年作出的裁决，该裁决认定他应对性侵和诽谤女专栏作家卡罗尔（E. Jean Carroll）的行为承担责任。 特朗普总统在两年来多次争取重审此案失败后，一直努力推翻500万美元的赔偿判决。他指出卡罗尔的指控“难以置信”，并驳斥证词“荒谬至极”。此后，他承诺将上诉至最高法院。 美国第二巡回上诉法院于2024年12月驳回了特朗普总统的上诉，并于6月拒绝了其要求全体法官共同审理此案的请求。 如今，最高法院是特朗普总统推翻陪审团一致裁决的最后希望。陪审团认定，大量证据支持卡罗尔的指控，即特朗普总统在20世纪90年代中期于纽约市一家百货商店对她进行性侵犯，并将手指插入她的阴道。 但是陪审团驳回了卡罗尔关于她遭到强奸的指控，审判法官卡普兰后来写道，认定特朗普先生强行将手指插入卡罗尔阴道构成性侵犯的结论，实际上是“隐含地认定特朗普对她实施了性侵犯”。 特朗普总统表示，法官卡普兰在几项证据裁决中“犯了错误”，影响了陪审团对他的支持。特朗普总统的上诉坚称，卡罗尔的指控“表面上不可信，是出于政治动机”。 特朗普总统的法律团队发言人将此案与特朗普总统在两届总统任期之间遭遇的其他政冶迫害案件联系起来。 该发言人表示：“美国人民与特朗普总统站在一起，要求立即停止所有政治迫害，包括民主党资助的卡罗尔骗局闹剧。特朗普总统将继续战胜自由派的法律战，并继续专注于他‘让美国再次伟大’的使命。” 卡罗尔的法律团队部分资金来自一家与一位民主党巨额捐款人有关联的非营利组织，该组织在法律文件中声称，卡罗尔并未参与获取这些外部资金，这些资金是在她提起第一起诉讼近一年后才获得的。他们称，这些资金与她提出的性侵和诽谤指控无关。 自2019年卡罗尔的指控首次曝光以来，特朗普总统一直否认这些指控。当时，卡罗尔在一份杂志上发表了一本书的节选，公开了这些指控。 此外，特朗普总统还就2024年1月联邦陪审团的另一项裁决提出上诉，该裁决认定他因发表针对卡罗尔的进一步诽谤性言论而承担责任。两项裁决合计裁定特朗普总统支付给卡罗尔赔偿金超8800万美元。
11月11日东京报道，日本电信与媒体控股公司软银（SoftBank）今天宣布，已售出其所持有的所有美国芯片制造商英伟达（Nvidia）的所有股份，套现58.3亿美元。软银希望借此机会，从其对ChatGPT开发商OpenAI的“全押”投资中获利。 软银在财报中披露，该公司在10月份出售了3210万股英伟达股票。该公司还披露，已出售其持有的美国移动通信运营商T-Mobile的部分股份，套现91.7亿美元。 软银首席财务官后藤芳光（Yoshimitsu Goto）在投资者推介会上表示：“我们希望在保持财务实力的同时，为投资者提供大量的投资机会。” 后藤义光还表示：“因此，通过这些选择和工具，我们确保以非常安全的方式做好融资准备。”他还补充说，出售股份是公司“资产变现”战略的一部分。 据报道，一位消息人士透露，软银出售所持有的英伟达股份、T-Mobile股份，以及出售Arm股份的保证金贷款，都是“将用于向OpenAI投资225亿美元的资金来源”。该消息人士补充说，这笔资金还将用于软银正在进行的其他项目，例如收购ABB的机器人部门。消息人士表示，软银抛售英伟达股份与人工智能估值问题无关。 虽然软银退出英伟达的股份可能令一些投资者感到意外，但这并非软银首次抛售这家美国人工智能芯片巨头的股份。 软银愿景基金曾是英伟达的早期投资者，据报道，该基金在2017年购入了价值40亿美元的股份，并在2019年1月全部售出。尽管软银最近进行了此次出售，但其业务利益仍然与英伟达紧密相连。 总部位于东京的软银公司参与了多个依赖英伟达技术的AI项目，其中包括价值5000亿美元的美国数据中心“星门”（Stargate）项目。 英伟达股价今天下跌2%。
11月10日华盛顿报道，美国总统特朗普今天在白宫会见了叙利亚总统沙拉（Ahmed Al-Sharaa)，这标志着这位3天前还被美国政府列为国际恐怖分子、并悬赏1000万美元捉拿的恐怖组织前领导人的命运发生了惊人的逆转。 沙拉是叙利亚基地组织分支的前领导人，他在成为叙利亚领导人后，公开否认了伊斯兰极端主义。近一年前，他领导的反对派武装迫使时任叙利亚总统阿萨德下台，并流亡俄罗斯。 数十年来，叙利亚一直受到美国和其他国家对阿萨德实施的制裁，如今沙拉正寻求与美国实现关系正常化。 一位美国政府高级官员今天证实，叙利亚将加入美国领导的打击“伊斯兰国”(ISIS）全球联盟，这标志着美国外交政策的重大转变。沙拉自己的前民兵组织“沙姆解放组织”在叙利亚长达 14 年的内战后期与伊斯兰国恐怖组织对抗，当时沙拉的化名是戈拉尼（Abu Mohammed al-Golan)。 特朗普总统今天在与沙拉的第三次会晤中可以会达成一份正式协议，就反恐问题展开合作。这将是一个极具象征意义的时刻，标志着美国政府对叙利亚的态度发生了180度转变。 大约12年前，在阿萨德统治时期，伊斯兰国恐怖组织得以发展壮大，最终成为了世界上最强大的恐怖组织之一。该组织一度控制了横跨叙利亚和伊拉克边境的大片土地。 今年5月，特朗普总统在沙特阿拉伯首次会见沙拉后，称这位叙利亚领导人“年轻有魅力，强悍有力，有着辉煌的过去”。 上周末，沙拉还成为首位与美军一起打篮球的叙利亚领导人。叙利亚外交部11月8日发布的一段视频显示，他在美国一处未公开的地点与一位美国海军上将和一位准将一起打球，并投进了一个三分球。但直到11月7日上午，沙拉仍然被美国政府正式认定为恐怖分子，该认定自2013年以来一直有效。当天晚些时候，该认定才被解除。 预计白宫今天可能会讨论正式解除美国对叙利亚的经济制裁。特朗普总统于今年5月签署行政命令，启动了这项制裁。 白宫新闻秘书卡莱维特（Karoline…
11月10日华盛顿报道，美国总统特朗普今天表示，他将遵守结束持续41天联邦政府停摆的协议条款，但共和党人将寻求一项新方案，以取代导致此次停摆资金中断的即将到期的医疗保险补贴。该协议确保民主党人就延长将于12月31日到期的、更为慷慨的疫情期间《平价医疗法案》补贴进行公开投票。 特朗普总统表示，在航班大规模取消的情况下，联邦政府将“很快”全面重启。当被问及协议中要求重新雇用在停摆期间被解雇的联邦雇员的条款时，特朗普总统说：“我会遵守协议。协议非常好。” 特朗普总统在白宫椭圆形办公室说：“我们想要的是一种由人民而不是保险公司来支付医疗费用的医疗体系，我告诉你们，在接下来的这段时间里，我们将全力以赴地解决这个问题，确保民众能够拿到这笔钱。我们谈论的是数万亿美元，这笔钱必须送到民众手中。” 由于一些共和党议员支持延长现有补贴，美国众议院似乎有足够的支持来延长补贴期限。但目前尚不清楚美国参议院是否有足够多的共和党人能够使这项福利法案获得通过，从而达到大多数法案所需的60票门槛。

11月9日报道，美国总统特朗普今天成为近半个世纪以来首位现场观看美国国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）常规赛的在任总统，他观看了华盛顿指挥官队（Washington Commanders）对阵底特律雄狮队（Detroit Lions）的部分比赛。华盛顿指挥官队老板哈里斯（Josh Harris）赠送给特朗普总统一件47号球衣。 据美国国家橄榄球联盟统计，此前美国只有两位总统在任期间观看过美国国家橄榄球联盟常规赛：分别是1969年的尼克松（Richard Nixon）和1978年的卡特（Jimmy Carter)。 上半场临近结束时，当特朗普总统与美国众议院议长约翰逊（Mike Johnson）和美国战争部长赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）出现在比赛现场，当体育场播音员中场休息时介绍特朗普总统出场时，看台上一些观众发出了热情的欢呼声。此后，特朗普总统在比赛间隙为新兵宣读入伍誓词时，欢呼声依然不断。 赛前，赫格塞斯与2023年以约60亿美元的价格从斯奈德（Daniel Snyder）手中收购指挥官队的财团领导人哈里斯进行了交谈，并与美军人员一起参加了场上仪式。 赫格塞斯与特朗普总统一同观看了比赛，其他观众还包括白宫幕僚长威尔斯（Susie Wiles)，美国教育部长麦克马洪（Linda McMahon)，以及蒙大拿州共和党参议员戴恩斯（Steve…
