[NEWS] 特朗普的全球推動 Trump's Global Push: Trade Shifts, Peace Deals, and Strategic Power Plays 1

特朗普總統與來自資源豐富國家的非洲領導人會晤,推動從外援轉向貿易,並促進美國商業利益,特別是在科技和清潔能源中使用的關鍵礦產。特朗普鼓勵國防支出,希望能促進軍火銷售,但對於減少援助、不一致的政策,以及像羅比托鐵路走廊這樣的基礎設施計劃的緊張情況依然存在擔憂。

(Bloomberg, 07/10/2025) President Trump met with African leaders from mineral-rich nations to push a shift from foreign aid to trade and promote U.S. business interests, especially in critical minerals used in tech and clean energy. While the U.S. aims to reduce its reliance on China, African leaders emphasized the need for local industry development and welcomed other international partnerships. Trump encouraged defense spending with hopes of arms sales, but concerns linger over reduced aid, inconsistent policies, and strained infrastructure plans like the Lobito rail corridor. The summit revealed both potential and tension in U.S.-Africa relations. (1)

特朗普總統接待了讚揚他在促成盧旺達和剛果民主共和國之間和平協議中的角色的非洲領袖。來自兩國的代表在特朗普面前簽署了該協議,這標誌著在多年因邊界緊張和叛軍問題而爆發的衝突後,難得的合作時刻。

(AP, 07/10/2025) During a busy week in Washington, President Trump hosted African leaders who praised his role in brokering a peace deal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo—a region long plagued by deadly conflict. Representatives from both countries signed the agreement in front of Trump, marking a rare moment of cooperation after years of fighting over border tensions and rebel groups. The deal added to Trump's list of global peace efforts, prompting calls for his nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu even formally endorsed him for it, citing peace achievements with Gaza, Iran, and other regions. Despite ongoing wars elsewhere, supporters argue Trump’s involvement in Africa’s fragile progress deserves international recognition. (2) 

 特朗普透過下令襲擊伊朗的核設施震驚了世界,似乎引發了新的中東戰爭,但就在幾天後,他宣布了一項伊朗和以色列之間的停火協議。特朗普所稱的“十二天戰爭”提供了一個充滿希望的結局。

(Time, 06/224/2025) Donald Trump surprised the world by ordering strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, seeming to spark a new Middle East war, but just days later he announced a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel. Despite ongoing missile attacks and confusion over the terms, both countries eventually signaled support—thanks in part to Qatar's mediation and Trump’s direct talks with Israeli leaders. Iran initially denied any agreement, insisting Israel must stop its aggression first, while Trump promoted the ceasefire as a breakthrough for peace. Though violence continued briefly, the deal was later acknowledged, offering a hopeful end to what Trump called “The 12 Day War.” (3)

美國與葉門的胡塞叛軍達成了一項停火協議,由阿曼促成,以停止對紅海美國艦艇的攻擊,這幫助特朗普政府在前往海灣國家的重要行程之前聲稱在安全航道上取得了勝利。

(The Hill, 05/08/2025) The U.S. and Yemen’s Houthi rebels agreed to a ceasefire, brokered by Oman, to stop attacks on American ships in the Red Sea—helping the Trump administration claim a win for safe shipping lanes ahead of a key trip to Gulf countries. The U.S. military had launched over 1,000 strikes since March, weakening Houthi forces, which analysts say pushed the group to agree to peace. Iran, a key backer of the Houthis, may have played a role after pressure from Saudi Arabia. Though the deal is seen as modest, it helps ease tensions in the region and supports U.S. efforts to restart talks with Iran on its nuclear program. (4)
