10月17日，美国总统特朗普今天在肯塔基州海兰海茨（Highland Heights）举行的一场集会上宣布，联邦政府计划向肯塔基州的一家制药生产设施投资1亿美元，并将该项目与共和党是否能在11月中期大选中胜利挂钩。 特朗普总统向支持者们承诺说：“如果共和党获胜，国防部门将向这家制药公司投资1亿美元，用于振兴肯塔基州温彻斯特（Winchester）的一座大型药品生产设施。” 特朗普总统还强调说：““这是一个重大的振兴项目。” 他还警告说，如果由民主党人掌权，这项投资将无法推进。 特朗普总统此行前往肯塔基州，旨在为共和党参议院候选人安迪·巴尔（Andy Barr）助选。他还称赞了本届政府为促使制药生产回归美国本土所做的努力。 特朗普总统表示：“制药公司正在投入6000亿美元。我们将让所有药品都在美国本土生产。” 共和党人众议员候选人巴尔在讲话中强调了肯塔基州的这些经济投资举措，并列举了通用电气家电（GE Appliances）和福特汽车（Ford）的投资项目，以及温彻斯特的制药项目。 巴尔说：“总统先生，除了您为肯塔基州带来的这些项目，包括通用电气家电、福特汽车以及温彻斯特的制药投资——之外……” 他随后又称赞了本届政府对肯塔基州煤矿工人的支持。 巴尔还提到了肯塔基州西部一个能源枢纽所获得的1000亿美元私人投资，并将这些项目描述为特朗普总统致力于重振美国制造业及确保美国能源主导地位的有力证明。
10月17日，伯克希尔公司（Berkshire Hathaway）的股价10月16日收于自2025年5月年度股东大会以来的最高水平。当时，巴菲特（Warren Buffett）在该大会上向股东透露，他计划在2025年年底卸任首席执行官一职。 在那次周六发布的“突发消息”前一天，伯克希尔公司的A类股和B类股均曾创下历史收盘新高。在此后的三个月里，由于投资者担心所谓的“巴菲特溢价”正在消退，该公司股价下跌了超过14%。 自2025年8月股价跌至股东大会后的低点以来，已过去了一年多。尽管回升之路并非一帆风顺，但截至10月16日的收盘，该公司A类股（BRK.A）报79.8万美元，距离其80.935万美元的历史最高收盘价仅低1.4%。B类股收于532.02美元，同样比其539.80美元的历史最高收盘价低1.4%。 10月15日的下跌终结了伯克希尔公司此前连续10个交易日的涨势，期间股价累计上涨5%，但10月16日股价随即反弹，涨幅超过1%。 据提供有关巴菲特及伯克希尔公司的新闻与分析的一份简报今天称，分析师认为，投资者或许乐见伯克希尔在首席执行官格雷格·阿贝尔（Greg Abel）的领导下，开始动用其庞大的现金储备。该公司今年第二季度进行了45亿美元的股票回购，并投资了Alphabet、Taylor Morrison Home和Lennar。自10月2日起，伯克希尔未再买入Lennar股票，近期还投资了Bending Spoons。 有分析师认为，较高的短期利率正在助推伯克希尔的股价。伯克希尔目前仍持有约3600亿美元现金，这“充分体现了在新任首席执行官领导下，公司依然保持着耐心”；而高利率也意味着这些现金能为公司带来“更多的收益”。此外，得益于迄今为止较为平静的飓风季，伯克希尔公司的保险业务也从中受益。 油价上涨利好，使伯克希尔公司在雪佛龙（Chevron）持有的价值190亿美元的股份。雪佛龙股价自7月初以来已累计上涨近36%，并在10月16日创下历史新高。伯克希尔公司旗下的能源相关子公司也从中获得了助力。 近期，随着投资者从此前涨势迅猛的人工智能（AI）及科技股中撤出，转而关注“传统”经济领域的股票，伯克希尔公司也可能因此受益。 以可口可乐（Coca-Cola）为例，这是巴菲特长期青睐的投资对象，目前伯克希尔公司持仓价值达376亿美元，其股价在10月16日也创下历史新高。这或许还得益于肯德基（KFC）将供应方从百事可乐（Pepsi）换成了可口可乐。该股今年迄今已上涨34%。…
10月17日，美国总统特朗普10月16日晚发布行政命令，豁免了旨在向俄罗斯政府施压的《格雷厄姆制裁俄罗斯法案》(Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act）中的部分条款，免除了针对俄罗斯的一系列新制裁措施和针对俄罗斯石油主要进口国家的高额关税。此举正值特朗普总统寻求通过利用俄罗斯能源来平抑美国物价之际。 根据特朗普总统上月底签署的该项法案，针对俄罗斯原油和天然气的5大进口国100%关税原定将于10月18日生效。但该法案赋予了特朗普总统豁免部分条款的权力：只要总统向美国国会证明暂停这些制裁“符合美国国家利益”即可。 特朗普总统在今天发布的一项行政命令中援引了他拥有这些权利的条款。 特朗普总统表示，他已向美国国会提交了相关通知。此外，他还豁免了该法案中针对俄罗斯商品征收500%关税的规定，并叫停了针对俄罗斯的其他一些制裁措施。他表示，这些豁免将持续有效，直至“认定采取进一步行动更为适宜”；他还指示“密切关注”那些进口俄罗斯能源或试图规避制裁的国家。 俄罗斯总统普京的特使基里尔·德米特里耶夫（Kirill Dmitriev）今天在社交媒体上发文，对特朗普总统的决定表示赞赏时说：“特朗普政府暂停执行《格雷厄姆法案》，这是一个重要且真正具有历史意义的时刻。” 乌克兰总统泽连斯基（Volodymyr Zelenskyy）则在社交媒体上发文称，该决定“令人遗憾”，并提到了乌克兰能源部门遭遇俄罗斯袭击后的惨状，他还补充说《格雷厄姆法案》“本可以发挥巨大的作用”。 泽连斯基在他的帖文中称：“美国制裁出现‘真空’，减轻了侵略者所承受的压力，还让普京从中获得经济利益，这一切只会助长他继续发动攻击。” 由已故美国参议员林赛·格雷厄姆（Lindsey Graham）推动的该项法案，其主要针对的是全球最大的俄罗斯油气买家，包括中国、印度和土耳其。欧盟过去也曾从俄罗斯大量进口天然气，但近年来已大幅削减了进口量。…
10月16日，新任白宫新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚（Katie Zacharia）在仅举行过一场新闻发布会后，将有可能离职。特朗普总统今天建议扎卡里亚“重新考虑”白宫新闻秘书职位，他在白宫南草坪向记者们透露，他曾对扎卡里亚说：“如果你不想做，不必勉强……我认为你应该重新考虑一下。” 特朗普总统在白宫外发表简短言论时说：“也许这并不适合她。” 但他在回应该消息是否意味着解雇了扎卡里亚时改口说：“不，不。我希望她能过上好日子。” 并补充说：“她遭到了媒体的残酷对待。” 据报道，一位白宫高级官员表示，扎卡里亚目前正在“退出”该职位。她仅上任一周，便因其法律资历问题而面临越来越多的审视。 一位知情人士证实，扎卡里亚在担任白宫新闻秘书仅7天后便将离职。 扎卡里亚上任后的第一周过得并不顺利，扎卡里亚于10月9日获任白宫新闻秘书职位，她在10月13日首次举办持续14分钟的白宫新闻发布会期间，仅回答了3个问题。为了挽回局面，扎卡里亚近期接受了一些采访，但这些采访反而招致了批评。 10月15日晚，扎卡里亚参加了福克斯新闻（Fox News)《汉尼提秀》(Hannity）节目，她在回答是否可以自称为律师时承认，她并未通过律师资格考试，也从未在美国获得过律师执照。扎卡里亚说：“我当时已经预先报名参加了律师资格考试。整个夏天，我基本上确定自己会去中国生活，所以考试结果对我而言已无关紧要。我之所以还是去参加了考试，是不想让自己的状态显示为‘退出’。” 扎卡里亚在回应关于她主持的首次白宫新闻发布会时说：“我觉得在准备时间非常有限的情况下，我确实挺身而出，承担起了这份职责，考虑到我当时上任还不到八个小时，而且还是在当天早上才拿到简报资料，我认为自己已经尽了最大努力，在那天为美国人民完成了工作。” 扎卡里亚的首次亮相引发了一些质疑，原因包括她在发言中出现几次口误——例如曾一度将自己的丈夫误称为“我的总统”，随后又立即进行了更正；此外，这场简报会也十分简短，在14分钟内她仅回答了三位记者的提问。 前白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特（Karoline Leavitt）的首次白宫新闻简报会持续了近47分钟，而另一位白宫新闻秘书肖恩·斯派塞（Sean Spicer）的首次亮相进行了约79分钟。相比之下，莎拉·赫卡比·桑德斯（Sarah…
10月15日，美国电动汽车制造商特斯拉（Tesla）新一代电动跑车Roadster的发布活动，于美东时间今晚 8:55 在位于德克萨斯州麦格雷戈（McGregor）的太空探索技术公司（SpaceX）测试场地举行。历经多年延期，该款备受期待的特斯拉电动跑车终于迎来了高光时刻。新一代Roadster的最高时速超过370公里，续航里程超过480公里，量产计划定于2028年。 今天揭晓的特斯拉该款经达重新设计后的电动跑车Roadster，早在2017年就曾首次展示了售价20万美元的该跑车的原型车，并曾表示将于2020年开始交付。尽管该跑车的定价仍尚未调整，但每辆车的预订费用仍需5万美元。 特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）在他的最新动态中表示，这款由特斯拉公司与太空探索技术公司合作打造的电动跑车Roadster，从0静止加速至每小时 60 英里（约 每小时96.6 公里）仅需不到一秒的时间。马斯克补充说，这其实是该车“最无趣的部分”。 马斯克曾淡化该款电动跑车Roadster对特斯拉公司财务的重要性，他在2023年称其为“无足轻重的小角色”，并表示它“不会对公司的财务状况产生重大影响”。虽然从财务角度来看，Roadster跑车或许并非特斯拉产品阵容中的核心车型，但这类高性能豪华跑车可以作为该车企展示其技术的平台。 马斯克还曾在2017年表示，四座的新一代Roadster单次充电续航里程可达620英里；不过，他在2024年发布于社交媒体X的一则动态中提到，该车型已进行了重新设计。 曾有分析师预计，特斯拉每年将售出约2000辆Roadster；与该公司去年160万辆的总销量相比，该数字仅占很小一部分。 特斯拉最初的Roadster车型于2008年发布，并持续销售至2012年。作为该公司的首款电动汽车，它基于路特斯（Lotus）Elise的底盘打造，并为特斯拉后续推出的Model Y和Model…
10月15日，美国国务院一名官员今天表示，美国国土安全部（DHS）前部长克里斯蒂·诺姆（Kristi Noem）已不再担任特朗普政府“美洲之盾”（Shield of the Americas）倡议的特使，但她仍参与该政府在西半球协调安全合作的相关工作。 一名国务院官员今天向媒体透露，“诺姆的特使任期已于上个月结束，她不再担任这一职务，她目前担任美国副国务卿克里斯托弗·兰道（Christopher Landau）的高级顾问，并继续负责‘美洲之盾’相关事务。” “美洲之盾”是由美国及多个加勒比和拉丁美洲国家组成的联盟，由特朗普政府于今年早些时候建立，旨在就经济事务、打击贩毒集团执法以及其他议题开展合作。 虽然诺姆在上个月纽约联合国大会期间，仍以特使身份参与了与该倡议相关的外交会议。但她特使任期已经在上个月纽约联合国大会召开前夕结束。 9月22日，诺姆曾会见了厄瓜多尔总统丹尼尔·诺沃亚（Daniel Noboa）；厄瓜多尔政府在公开场合称她为“美洲之盾”特使。她还出席了由特朗普总统主持的“美洲之盾”领导人聚会，特朗普总统在会上公开肯定了她的工作。 特朗普总统在发言中表示：“我要感谢诺姆，她做得非常出色。” 诺姆于今年3月被任命为“美洲之盾”特使。此前，由于外界对其部门管理方式，以及其顾问科里·莱万多夫斯基（Corey Lewandowski）所施加影响的质疑声日益高涨，她被免去了美国国土安全部长一职。 诺姆恰逢3月份对拉丁美洲和加勒比地区五个国家的访问之际转任特使一职；此次访问的大部分行程，是在她即将结束美国国土安全部长任期之际进行的。…
