Perlu Tahu Tentang ‘Micromoon’ April

(SeaPRwire) - Bulan tidak akan mengubah saiznya. Hampir sejak pembentukannya lebih daripada empat bilion tahun lalu, ia telah mengekalkan diameter purata . Itu kurang daripada jarak dari Los Angeles ke New York. Seperti yang , jika Bumi sebesar duit syiling, bulan akan sebesar biji kopi. Tetapi itu tidak bermakna bulan tidak boleh kelihatan lebih besar atau lebih kecil—dan pada hari Sabtu ini, 12 April, ia akan menjadi agak kecil, bersamaan dengan apa yang pemerhati langit panggil . Inilah yang anda perlu tahu. Pada mana-mana malam yang diberikan, bulan boleh kelihatan mengubah saiznya—kadang-kadang secara dramatik. Terima kasih kepada apa yang dipanggil , ia mungkin kelihatan sangat besar—kadang-kadang sangat besar—apabila ia rendah di langit, memeluk kaki langit, dan kemudian kelihatan mengecut dengan stabil apabila ia naik di langit. Tetapi mata anda dan, yang penting, otak anda, berbohong. Untuk membuktikannya, hanya regangkan lengan anda, tutup sebelah mata, dan tahan jari telunjuk anda ke atas. Kuku anda dan bulan akan kelihatan lebih kurang sama saiz, tanpa mengira betapa besar atau kecilnya bulan itu kelihatan. Apa yang berlaku ialah helah minda; di kaki langit, anda membuat perbandingan tanpa sedar antara saiz bulan dan saiz objek seperti rumah dan pokok, dengan bulan kelihatan mengerdilkannya. Tinggi di atas kepala, bulanlah yang dikerdilkan oleh kekosongan langit. Oleh itu, fikiran anda menyimpulkan bahawa ia telah mengecut. Micromoon adalah sesuatu yang lain. , bulan berjarak 238,855 batu dari Bumi, tetapi angka itu berubah. Orbit bulan mengelilingi Bumi adalah , dengan titik rendah, atau perigee, kira-kira 224,000 batu, dan titik tinggi, atau apogee, 251,650 batu. Apabila kita melihat bulan di perigee, lebih dekat dengan Bumi, ia secara semula jadi kelihatan lebih besar—menciptakan fenomena yang dikenali sebagai , apabila cakera lunar kelihatan 7% lebih besar dan 15% lebih cerah daripada biasanya. Di apogee—iaitu tempat bulan berada pada hujung minggu ini—ia akan kelihatan 14% lebih kecil dan 30% lebih malap, mewujudkan ilusi . Micromoon ini juga akan dikenali sebagai , walaupun itu tiada kaitan dengan warnanya. (Itu tidak seperti , yang berlaku semasa gerhana bulan, apabila bayangan Bumi jatuh ke atas bulan, dan panjang gelombang biru cahaya matahari yang melalui planet kita diserakkan oleh atmosfera manakala panjang gelombang merah menembusi, mewarnakan bulan.) Bulan merah jambu hanyalah nama panggilan untuk bulan penuh yang berlaku pada bulan April, sebagai penghormatan kepada bunga yang mekar pada musim ini. Micromoon merah jambu akan mula terbit pada waktu senja pada hari Sabtu ini, mencapai . Peminat angkasa lepas akan melihat ke atas kemudian, sama seperti yang mereka lakukan untuk supermoon. Tetapi tidak semua orang begitu teruja. Seperti yang tidak kurang seorang yang berwibawa daripada ahli astronomi Neil deGrasse Tyson : "Jika Bulan Penuh bulan lepas adalah piza 16.0 inci, maka Bulan 'Super' bulan ini ialah 16.1 inci. Saya cuma cakap." Mengikut ukuran itu, micromoon akan menjadi pai 13.76 inci. Nikmatilah semuanya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Trump Akan Menjalani Pemeriksaan Fizikal Tahunan Walaupun Laporan Berkemungkinan Tidak Telus berita

Trump Akan Menjalani Pemeriksaan Fizikal Tahunan Walaupun Laporan Berkemungkinan Tidak Telus

(SeaPRwire) - WASHINGTON — Donald Trump sedang menjalani pemeriksaan fizikal tahunannya pada hari Jumaat, berpotensi memberikan butiran pertama kepada orang ramai dalam beberapa tahun mengenai kesihatan seorang lelaki yang pada bulan Januari menjadi yang tertua dalam sejarah A.S. yang mengangkat sumpah sebagai presiden. “Saya tidak pernah berasa lebih baik, tetapi bagaimanapun, perkara ini mesti dilakukan!” Trump, 78, menyiarkan di laman media sosialnya. Walaupun sering mempersoalkan kapasiti fizikal dan mental pendahulunya, Joe Biden, Trump sendiri secara rutin merahsiakan fakta asas mengenai kesihatannya sendiri—mengelak daripada ketelusan presiden tradisional mengenai isu perubatan. Jika sejarah menjadi penunjuk, pemeriksaan fizikal terbarunya mungkin akan menghasilkan laporan yang menyanjung yang kurang butiran. Ia akan dijalankan di Walter Reed National Military Medical Center dan akan menjadi maklumat awam pertama mengenai kesihatan Trump sejak cubaan membunuh terhadapnya di Butler, Pennsylvania, Julai lalu. Daripada mengeluarkan rekod perubatan pada masa itu, Wakil Texas, Ronny Jackson—penyokong kuat yang berkhidmat sebagai doktor White House dan pernah bergurau di bilik taklimat White House bahawa Trump boleh hidup sehingga 200 tahun jika dia mempunyai diet yang lebih sihat—menulis memo yang menerangkan luka tembakan di telinga kanan Trump. Dalam temu bual berikutnya dengan CBS Ogos lalu, Trump berkata dia "dengan sangat senang hati" akan mengeluarkan rekod perubatan tetapi tidak pernah melakukannya. Trump tiga tahun lebih muda daripada Biden. Tetapi pada Hari Perasmian penggal keduanya pada Januari, Trump lima bulan lebih tua daripada Biden semasa perasmiannya pada tahun 2021—menjadikan Trump presiden tertua negara yang mengangkat sumpah jawatan. Sebelum memo Jackson, rakyat Amerika belum melihat butiran penting mengenai kesihatan Trump sejak November 2023, apabila Dr. Bruce A. Aronwald mengeluarkan surat bersempena dengan ulang tahun Biden yang ke-81, mengatakan Trump berada dalam kesihatan fizikal dan mental yang "cemerlang". Surat itu, yang disiarkan di platform media sosial Trump, tidak mengandungi butiran—termasuk berat badan, tekanan darah dan paras kolesterol Trump, atau keputusan sebarang ujian. Sebaliknya, Aronwlad menulis bahawa dia telah memeriksa Trump pada musim gugur itu dan mendapati "pemeriksaan fizikalnya berada dalam julat normal dan pemeriksaan kognitifnya adalah luar biasa," sambil juga menyatakan bahawa Trump telah "mengurangkan berat badannya." Trump dirawat di Walter Reed untuk penyakit koronavirus yang serius pada tahun 2020. Semasa itu, doktor Trump menawarkan prognosis yang baik mengenai keadaannya, walaupun ketua kakitangan White House, Mark Meadows berkata beberapa tanda vital Trump adalah "sangat membimbangkan." Selepas dia sembuh, lebih banyak butiran muncul bahawa Trump lebih sakit daripada yang dia tunjukkan. Tetapi Trump sebahagian besarnya enggan mengatakan lebih lanjut mengenai kesihatannya pada masa itu, sebaliknya menyerahkan kepada "penilaian" dan temu bual perubatan jarak jauh yang dirakam terlebih dahulu di Fox News Channel. Ia dikendalikan oleh Dr. Marc Siegel, seorang penyumbang Fox News yang telah mempersoalkan keupayaan fizikal Hillary Clinton untuk berkhidmat sebagai presiden pada tahun 2016 dan kemudian menggesa White House Biden untuk menguji ketajaman kognitif presiden ketika itu. Sementara itu, pada November 2019, lawatan Trump ke Walter Reed untuk pemeriksaan fizikal telah dihilangkan daripada jadual awamnya, melanggar protokol White House untuk memberikan notis awam awal tentangnya. Lawatan itu didedahkan tiga hari kemudian, dengan Trump mendedahkan bahawa dia telah menjalani "pemeriksaan fizikal yang sangat rutin." White House mengeluarkan kenyataan susulan daripada doktor peribadi presiden ketika itu, U.S. Navy Cmdr. Sean Conley, mengatakan ia adalah "pemeriksaan interim yang dirancang" yang dirahsiakan "kerana ketidakpastian penjadualan." Boleh dikatakan, komen Trump yang paling terkenal tentang kesihatannya sendiri datang semasa temu bual televisyen pada Julai 2020, apabila dia menyenaraikan "Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV" sambil cuba menunjukkan kebolehan kognitifnya. Trump berkata bahawa koleksi lima kata nama itu, atau yang serupa dengannya, yang dinyatakan mengikut urutan, menunjukkan kecergasan mental—dan merupakan sebahagian daripada ujian kognitif yang telah berjaya dilaluinya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Perlu Tahu Tentang Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Lelaki yang Tersilap Dideportasi ke Penjara di El Salvador berita

Perlu Tahu Tentang Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Lelaki yang Tersilap Dideportasi ke Penjara di El Salvador

(SeaPRwire) - Kisah Kilmar Abrego Garcia kelihatan seolah-olah ia akan bermula dan berakhir di negara asalnya, El Salvador. Namun, Mahkamah Agung A.S. pada hari Khamis memerintahkan pentadbiran Trump untuk memudahkan kepulangannya ke A.S. dari penjara yang terkenal, menolak dakwaan Rumah Putih bahawa mereka tidak dapat mendapatkan semula warganegara Salvador itu selepas tersilap menghantarnya pulang. Abrego Garcia, 29, akan kembali ke negara yang telah didiaminya selama kira-kira 14 tahun, di mana dia bekerja dalam bidang pembinaan, berkahwin dan membesarkan tiga orang anak kurang upaya, menurut rekod mahkamah. Dia juga akan menghadapi dakwaan yang mendorong pengusirannya: tuduhan pada tahun 2019 daripada polis tempatan di Maryland bahawa dia adalah anggota geng MS-13. Abrego Garcia menafikan dakwaan itu dan tidak pernah didakwa dengan jenayah, kata peguamnya. Seorang hakim imigresen A.S. kemudiannya melindunginya daripada dihantar pulang ke El Salvador kerana dia mungkin menghadapi penganiayaan di sana oleh geng tempatan yang mengganas keluarganya. Pentadbiran Trump menghantarnya pulang ke sana bulan lepas, kemudian menyifatkan kesilapan itu sebagai "kesilapan pentadbiran" tetapi menegaskan dia berada dalam MS-13. Ketika Abrego Garcia dikembalikan ke A.S. dan kesnya berterusan, berikut adalah kisahnya setakat ini: Ancaman Geng di El Salvador Abrego Garcia dibesarkan di ibu kota El Salvador, San Salvador, menurut dokumen mahkamah yang difailkan di mahkamah imigresen A.S. pada tahun 2019. Bapanya adalah bekas pegawai polis. Ibunya, Cecilia, menjual pupusas, hidangan utama negara itu berupa kantung tortilla leper yang mengandungi campuran keju, kacang atau daging babi yang lazat. Seluruh keluarga, termasuk ibu bapanya, dua adik perempuan dan abang, menjalankan perniagaan itu dari rumah, menurut rekod mahkamah. Tugas Abrego Garcia adalah untuk membeli bahan-bahan dari kedai runcit dan membuat penghantaran bersama abangnya. "Semua orang di bandar tahu untuk mendapatkan pupusas mereka dari 'Pupuseria Cecilia'," tulis peguamnya. Sebuah geng tempatan, Barrio 18, mula memeras ugut keluarga untuk "duit sewa" dan mengancam untuk membunuh abangnya Cesar—atau memaksanya menyertai geng mereka—jika mereka tidak dibayar, menurut dokumen mahkamah. Keluarga itu menurut tetapi akhirnya menghantar Cesar ke A.S. Barrio 18 juga menyasarkan Abrego Garcia, menurut kes imigresennya. Ketika dia berumur 12 tahun, geng itu mengancam untuk membawanya pergi sehingga bapanya membayar mereka "semua wang yang mereka mahukan." Mereka masih memerhatikannya ketika dia berjalan pergi dan balik dari sekolah. Keluarga itu berpindah 10 minit jauhnya, tetapi geng itu mengancam untuk merogol dan membunuh adik perempuan Abrego Garcia, menurut rekod mahkamah. Keluarga itu menutup perniagaan, berpindah lagi dan akhirnya menghantar Abrego Garcia ke A.S. Keluarga itu tidak pernah pergi kepada pihak berkuasa kerana rasuah polis yang berleluasa, menurut fail mahkamah. Geng itu terus mengganggu keluarga itu selepas mereka berpindah ke Guatemala, yang bersempadan dengan El Salvador. Kehidupan di A.S. Abrego Garcia melarikan diri ke A.S. secara haram sekitar tahun 2011, tahun dia berusia 16 tahun, menurut dokumen yang difailkan dalam kes imigresennya. Dia menyertai Cesar, kini warganegara A.S., di Maryland dan mencari pekerjaan dalam bidang pembinaan. Kira-kira lima tahun kemudian, Abrego Garcia bertemu dengan Jennifer Vasquez Sura, seorang warganegara A.S., menurut rekod. Pada tahun 2018, selepas dia mengetahui dia hamil, dia berpindah masuk bersamanya dan dua anaknya. Mereka tinggal di Prince George’s County, di luar Washington. Pada tahun 2019, Abrego Garcia pergi ke Home Depot mencari pekerjaan apabila dia ditangkap oleh polis daerah, menurut fail mahkamah. Detektif bertanya sama ada dia seorang anggota geng. Selepas menjelaskan bahawa dia bukan, dia ditahan oleh Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Abrego Garcia kemudian memberitahu seorang hakim imigresen bahawa dia akan memohon suaka dan meminta untuk dibebaskan. Vasquez Sura sudah lima bulan hamil berisiko tinggi. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, bagaimanapun, mendakwa bahawa dia adalah anggota geng yang disahkan berdasarkan maklumat yang datang daripada pemberi maklumat sulit yang digunakan oleh polis daerah, menurut rekod. Menurut peguam Abrego Garcia dalam kesnya sekarang, pemberi maklumat jenayah itu mendakwa bahawa Abrego Garcia tergolong dalam cabang MS-13 di New York, tempat dia tidak pernah tinggal. Maklumat itu cukup untuk seorang hakim imigresen pada tahun 2019 untuk menahan Abrego Garcia di penjara sementara kes imigresennya berterusan, menurut rekod mahkamah. Hakim berkata pemberi maklumat itu terbukti dan boleh dipercayai dan telah mengesahkan keahlian dan pangkat gengnya. Abrego Garcia kemudiannya berkahwin dengan Vasquez Sura di pusat tahanan Maryland, menurut fail mahkamah. Dia melahirkan anak semasa dia masih di penjara. Pada Oktober 2019, seorang hakim imigresen menolak permohonan suaka Abrego Garcia tetapi memberinya perlindungan daripada dihantar pulang ke El Salvador kerana "ketakutan yang berasas" terhadap penganiayaan geng, menurut kesnya. Dia dibebaskan, dan ICE tidak membuat rayuan. Abrego Garcia mendaftar masuk dengan ICE setiap tahun sementara Department of Homeland Security mengeluarkan permit kerja kepadanya, kata peguamnya dalam fail mahkamah. Dia menyertai kesatuan sekerja dan bekerja sepenuh masa sebagai pelatih logam lembaran. Dia dan Vasquez Sura membesarkan tiga orang anak, termasuk anak lelaki mereka yang berusia 5 tahun, yang menghidap autisme, pekak di sebelah telinga dan tidak dapat berkomunikasi secara lisan, menurut aduan yang difailkan terhadap pentadbiran Trump. Mereka juga membesarkan anak berusia 9 tahun yang menghidap autisme dan anak berusia 10 tahun yang menghidap epilepsi. Pengusiran Tersilap Pada bulan Februari, pentadbiran Trump melabelkan MS-13 sebagai organisasi pengganas asing dan berusaha untuk menghapuskan ahli yang dikenal pasti "secepat mungkin," tulis Peguam Cara Negara A.S. D. John Sauer dalam taklimat Isnin kepada Mahkamah Agung. Abrego Garcia ditahan pada 12 Mac di luar Ikea di Baltimore bersama anaknya, menurut rekod mahkamah. Seorang ejen menelefon Vasquez Sura dan berkata dia mempunyai 10 minit untuk mendapatkan anaknya atau ICE akan meminta perkhidmatan perlindungan kanak-kanak. Abrego Garcia menelefon isterinya dari penjara dan berkata pihak berkuasa menekan dia tentang MS-13, menurut dokumen mahkamah. Mereka bertanya tentang foto mereka yang memaparkannya bermain bola keranjang di gelanggang awam, dan lawatan keluarganya ke restoran yang menghidangkan makanan Mexico dan Salvador. "Dia akan mengulangi kebenaran berulang kali—bahawa dia bukan ahli geng," kata Vasquez Sura dalam dokumen mahkamah.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

` tags. ` Keselamatan Sosial Mengelaskan Semula Pendatang Asing yang Masih Hidup Sebagai Meninggal Dunia untuk Membatalkan Kelayakan Kerja, Mendorong Mereka untuk ‘Deportasi Diri’ `

(SeaPRwire) - WASHINGTON — Pentadbiran Trump telah bertindak untuk mengklasifikasikan lebih daripada 6,000 imigran yang masih hidup sebagai mati, membatalkan nombor Keselamatan Sosial mereka dan secara efektif menghapuskan keupayaan mereka untuk bekerja atau menerima manfaat dalam usaha untuk membuat mereka meninggalkan negara ini, menurut dua orang yang biasa dengan situasi tersebut. Langkah ini akan menyukarkan lagi mereka yang terjejas untuk menggunakan bank atau perkhidmatan asas lain di mana nombor Keselamatan Sosial diperlukan. Ia adalah sebahagian daripada usaha yang lebih luas oleh Presiden Donald Trump untuk membanteras imigran yang dibenarkan masuk dan tinggal sementara di Amerika Syarikat di bawah program yang dimulakan oleh pendahulunya, Joe Biden. Pentadbiran Trump sedang memindahkan nama dan nombor Keselamatan Sosial imigran yang diperoleh secara sah ke pangkalan data yang biasanya digunakan oleh pegawai persekutuan untuk mengesan orang yang telah meninggal dunia, menurut dua orang yang biasa dengan langkah tersebut dan kesan buruknya. Mereka bercakap dengan syarat tidak mahu dikenali pada malam Khamis kerana rancangan itu belum diperincikan secara terbuka. Para pegawai berkata melucutkan nombor Keselamatan Sosial imigran akan memutuskan mereka daripada banyak perkhidmatan kewangan dan menggalakkan mereka untuk "menghantar diri sendiri" dan meninggalkan A.S. untuk negara kelahiran mereka. Tidak jelas serta-merta bagaimana 6,000 lebih imigran itu dipilih. Tetapi Rumah Putih Trump telah menyasarkan orang di negara ini buat sementara waktu di bawah program era Biden, termasuk lebih daripada 900,000 imigran yang memasuki A.S. menggunakan aplikasi CBP One pentadbiran itu. Pada hari Isnin, Jabatan Keselamatan Dalam Negeri membatalkan status sah imigran yang menggunakan aplikasi itu. Mereka pada umumnya dibenarkan untuk tinggal di A.S. selama dua tahun dengan kebenaran kerja di bawah kuasa parol presiden semasa era Biden, tetapi kini dijangka untuk menghantar diri sendiri. Sementara itu, seorang hakim persekutuan berkata pada hari Khamis bahawa dia menghentikan pentadbiran Trump daripada mengarahkan beratus-ratus ribu warga Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua dan Venezuela dengan status sah sementara untuk meninggalkan negara itu pada akhir bulan ini. Seorang wakil daripada tidak menjawab permintaan untuk komen mengenai berita bahawa imigran yang hidup sedang diklasifikasikan sebagai mati. Agensi itu mengekalkan pangkalan data persekutuan yang paling lengkap mengenai individu yang telah meninggal dunia, dan fail itu mengandungi lebih daripada 142 juta rekod, yang bermula sejak tahun 1899. Akta Privasi membenarkan untuk mendedahkan maklumat kepada penguatkuasaan undang-undang dalam keadaan terhad, yang termasuk apabila jenayah ganas telah dilakukan atau aktiviti jenayah lain. dan menandatangani perjanjian minggu ini yang akan membenarkan untuk berkongsi data cukai imigran dengan untuk tujuan mengenal pasti dan mengusir orang yang berada di A.S. secara haram. Perjanjian itu akan membenarkan untuk mengemukakan nama dan alamat imigran di dalam A.S. secara haram kepada untuk pengesahan silang terhadap rekod cukai. Pemangku pesuruhjaya , Melanie Krause, yang telah berkhidmat dalam kapasiti itu sejak Februari, meletak jawatan atas perjanjian itu. Pada bulan Mac, sementara itu, seorang hakim persekutuan buat sementara waktu menyekat pasukan yang ditugaskan untuk mengurangkan pekerjaan persekutuan dan mengecilkan kerajaan yang diketuai oleh jutawan Elon Musk daripada sistem Keselamatan Sosial yang menyimpan data peribadi berjuta-juta rakyat Amerika, dengan menyifatkan kerja mereka di sana sebagai "ekspedisi memancing." Skye Perryman, presiden dan CEO , sebuah kumpulan advokasi yang telah mencabar pelbagai usaha pentadbiran Trump di mahkamah, berkata organisasinya mungkin akan menyaman mengenai nombor Keselamatan Sosial juga, sebaik sahaja lebih banyak butiran tersedia. "Presiden ini terus terlibat dalam tingkah laku yang menyalahi undang-undang, melanggar undang-undang dan menyalahgunakan sistem semak dan imbang kita," kata Perryman.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Bagaimana CEO Mengalahkan Trump dalam Isu Tarif berita

Bagaimana CEO Mengalahkan Trump dalam Isu Tarif

(SeaPRwire) - Hanya mengambil masa yang singkat untuk pentadbiran Trump mengalah dalam isu . Presiden Donald Trump, Setiausaha Perdagangan Howard Lutnick, dan Penasihat Perdagangan Peter Navarro melakukan dengan tepat apa yang mereka katakan tidak akan mereka lakukan—"” terhadap langkah-langkah perdagangan yang tidak boleh dirunding. Lebih membingungkan adalah bahawa tiada konsesi perdagangan yang signifikan diperoleh daripada mana-mana negara tunggal semasa tempoh "" yang singkat. Tetapi telah diterima pakai selepas mengumumkan penangguhan 90 hari ke atas tarif timbal balik. Walaupun Presiden mungkin dapat menghadapi tarif pembalasan daripada rakan kongsi asing dan meredakan demonstrasi awam terhadap tindakan DOGE, beliau akhirnya tidak dapat menentang CEO yang semakin meningkat yang mengutuk agenda tarif pentadbirannya. Di bawah ancaman taktik perdagangan agresif, saham A.S. kehilangan lebih daripada dalam dua hari. Dan lebih banyak kesakitan pasaran kelihatan mungkin kerana pendapatan suku tahunan korporat baru sahaja mula dikeluarkan, dengan ramalan pertumbuhan menjadi ke bawah. Tambahan pula, hasil Perbendaharaan dan nilai dolar kelihatan melanggar norma perdagangan konvensional semasa tempoh krisis yang serupa, yang mencetuskan khabar angin tentang kedua-dua aset yang kehilangan status "" mereka yang diidamkan—dan mengancam diskaun kadar faedah ke atas hutang korporat A.S. yang dikaitkan dengan status itu. Ringkasnya, CEO sudah muak. CEO JP Morgan, Jamie Dimon kemelesetan adalah "hasil yang mungkin" kerana tarif "melebihi jangkaan orang ramai." CEO Delta Airlines, Ed Bastian ramalan kewangan syarikat untuk tahun ini "memandangkan ketidakpastian ekonomi yang meluas mengenai perdagangan global." CEO BlackRock, Larry Fink di Economic Club of New York bahawa kebanyakan pemimpin perniagaan daripada syarikat portfolio beliau "mengatakan kita mungkin berada dalam kemelesetan sekarang." Ketiga-tiga contoh ini hanyalah sebahagian daripada banyak kenyataan penentangan baru-baru ini daripada komuniti perniagaan, termasuk kewangan, pengangkutan, perumahan, automotif, teknologi, dan pembuatan am—diketuai oleh tokoh industri lain, daripada Tesla kepada General Motor kepada Alcoa serta pemimpin persatuan perdagangan seperti Jay Timmons dari dan Suzanne Clark dari . Malah, bulan lepas, di CEO Caucus Yale, 100 CEO terkemuka mereka akan mula bersuara menentang Trump jika pasaran saham jatuh kira-kira 20%. Eksekutif perniagaan melakukan perkara itu apabila pasaran dengan ambang. Secara kolektif, mereka menebuk ancaman dan penderitaan yang ditimbulkan sendiri dalam cabaran yang ditujukan kepada presiden. Walaupun terdapat sedikit kelegaan perdagangan, CEO masih keliru dan bimbang dengan kelewatan berterusan dan pembalikan mendadak oleh pentadbiran. Ketidakpastian telah menghentikan pelaburan perniagaan dan menghalang potensi peluang daripada deregulasi. Ramai yang menyatakan kehilangan keyakinan terhadap agenda dasar ekonomi presiden. Trump telah meletakkan dirinya dalam situasi yang genting. Dalam fikiran pemimpin korporat, kesalahan bukan sahaja terletak pada Trump tetapi juga Navarro dan Lutnick. Kedua-duanya telah kehilangan kredibiliti selepas mengubah haluan mengenai kebolehrundingan tarif. Dalam temu bual minggu lepas di , Lutnick berkata, "Saya tidak fikir ada peluang...Presiden Trump akan berundur daripada tarifnya." Pada hari yang sama, Navarro bersiaran untuk mengisytiharkan "ini bukanlah rundingan." Penasihat perdagangan itu kemudian dalam rencana opini dengan *Financial Times*. Setiausaha Perbendaharaan Scott Bessent yang menerima pakai mesej yang bertentangan dengan dua rakannya dalam perseteruan dalaman mengenai strategi perdagangan White House. Kelegaan pasaran hari Rabu sebagai tindak balas kepada Truth Social Trump menunjukkan Presiden mungkin telah meredakan sedikit kegelisahan peniaga yang gugup tetapi bukan CEO. Pemimpin perniagaan mungkin telah menghalangnya daripada mengheret ekonomi A.S. ke jurang, tetapi ia masih . Daripada Setiausaha Akhbar White House Karoline Leavitt, Bessent, dan Trump tidak memberikan pemimpin perniagaan keyakinan yang cukup untuk menamatkan penangguhan mereka ke atas pelaburan modal atau M&A. Selepas lebih banyak butiran kukuh di sebalik penangguhan itu muncul, keterujaan awal mereda. Sesetengah penganalisis malah menjangkakan dasar tarif baharu itu sama sahaja . Tarif asas 10% tidak dibatalkan. Tarif ke atas China dinaikkan kepada daripada 104% sebagai hukuman untuk pembalasan, walaupun Kesatuan Eropah meluluskan tarif pembalasan mereka sendiri beberapa jam sebelum itu. Pendirian tarif ke atas Kanada dan Mexico tidak terjejas, begitu juga tarif sedia ada ke atas sektor automotif, keluli, aluminium, kayu, dan lain-lain tidak dibatalkan. Tarif ke atas industri farmaseutikal dan semikonduktor masih dilaporkan sedang dipertimbangkan. Perasaan ketidakpastian yang semakin meningkat yang memaksa keyakinan perniagaan kecil kepada sebanyak 50%, keadaan pasaran buruh kepada , perbelanjaan modal kepada , dan ramalan pertumbuhan KDNK kepada masih kekal. Sebelum sebarang pengumuman tarif timbal balik, 89% CEO di CEO Caucus kami pada bulan Mac bahawa mereka semakin bimbang ekonomi A.S. menuju ke arah kemelesetan, manakala 69% berkata pentadbiran akan menjadi buruk untuk ekonomi. Hampir semua pemimpin menyokong penggunaan tarif terpilih, seperti kebanyakan orang awam Amerika, tetapi bukan yang bersifat umum atau timbal balik. Dan kerana empat perlima CEO melaporkan meminta maaf atas tingkah laku Trump kepada mereka, beberapa rakan kongsi perdagangan asing yang sama telah mengadakan perbualan dengan China untuk mengembangkan hubungan komersial. Mungkin Musk paling baik menggambarkan dasar tarif semasa pada di tengah-tengah perseteruan awamnya dengan Navarro. Musk memanggil penasihat perdagangan Trump "lebih bodoh daripada sekampit batu bata." Nampaknya sesuai, tetapi sekali lagi, pencirian itu mungkin tidak adil kepada batu bata. Ketidakpastian dasar perdagangan terus memberikan cabaran yang ketara kepada pemimpin perniagaan, mengganggu perancangan jangka panjang, keputusan pelaburan dan strategi rantaian bekalan global. Keputusan baru-baru ini untuk menangguhkan tarif timbal balik mungkin merupakan "kemenangan" kecil bagi pemimpin. Mereka berharap Presiden telah belajar pengajaran di sini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Speaker Johnson Berikrar untuk Mencuba Lagi Selepas Pengekalan GOP Menyekat Tindakan ke atas Rang Undang-Undang Bajet ‘Besar dan Indah’ Trump

(SeaPRwire) - WASHINGTON — Selepas menghentikan undian secara tiba-tiba, Speaker Dewan Perwakilan Mike Johnson berikrar untuk mencuba lagi pada hari Khamis untuk meluluskan rangka kerja belanjawan Republikan, setelah bekerja sehingga lewat malam untuk memuaskan hati penentang GOP yang enggan memajukan trilion dolar dalam pelepasan cukai tanpa pemotongan perbelanjaan yang lebih mendalam. Malah desakan yang kuat daripada Presiden Donald Trump tidak dapat mendorong pakej itu untuk diluluskan. Johnson terpaksa membatalkan tindakan yang dijadualkan pada hari Rabu kerana kumpulan tegar Republikan meninggalkannya tanpa sokongan yang mencukupi, dan berisiko menggagalkan apa yang presiden sebut sebagai "rang undang-undang yang besar dan indah," yang merupakan teras kepada agenda pemotongan cukai, pengusiran besar-besaran dan kerajaan persekutuan yang lebih kecil. “Presiden sangat ingin kita menyelesaikan ini,” kata Johnson, R-La., ketika dia meninggalkan mesyuarat lewat malam dengan penggubal undang-undang GOP. Dia berkata dia menjangkakan undian pada hari Khamis. Mendorong rangka kerja belanjawan ke hadapan akan mencatatkan satu lagi pencapaian penting bagi Johnson, yang hanya boleh kehilangan beberapa pengkritik daripada majoriti tipisnya. Undian yang gagal, terutamanya ketika ekonomi bergolak akibat perang perdagangan Trump, akan menjadi kemunduran besar bagi agenda Republikan di Washington. "Berhenti bermegah!" Trump telah menegur Republikan semasa majlis makan malam pengumpulan dana bertali leher hitam di National Building Museum awal minggu ini. Trump memberitahu Republikan, "Tutup mata anda dan sampai ke sana." Tetapi menjelang petang Rabu, hasilnya tidak menentu. Sekurang-kurangnya sedozen Republikan konservatif, jika tidak lebih, berdiri teguh menentang rancangan itu. Beberapa daripada mereka, termasuk ahli Freedom Caucus yang ultra-konservatif, membuat langkah luar biasa dengan berjalan merentasi Capitol untuk bertemu secara peribadi dengan pemimpin GOP Senat untuk mendesak pemotongan yang lebih mendalam. Ketika malam menjelang, Johnson menarik sekumpulan Republikan ke dalam bilik mesyuarat peribadi ketika prosiding Dewan Perwakilan terhenti. Mereka tinggal sehingga lewat malam membincangkan alternatif. Johnson berkata dia bercakap dengan Trump selama kira-kira lima minit semasa mesyuarat GOP sedang berlangsung. Speaker GOP itu berkata mereka sedang cuba mencari jumlah minimum pemotongan dan penjimatan "yang akan memuaskan hati semua orang." Pilihan termasuk meminda rang undang-undang Senat atau mengadakan jawatankuasa persidangan untuk menyelesaikan perbezaan, antara lain. "Terdapat beberapa idea yang berbeza di atas meja," kata Johnson. “Kami mahu semua orang mempunyai tahap keselesaan yang tinggi tentang apa yang berlaku di sini, dan kami mempunyai subset kecil ahli yang tidak berpuas hati sepenuhnya dengan produk seperti sedia ada,” kata Johnson. Tetapi konservatif GOP Dewan Perwakilan, termasuk beberapa daripada mereka yang bertemu secara peribadi dengan Trump di White House minggu ini, tetap bimbang bahawa pelan tindakan GOP Senat, yang diluluskan hujung minggu lalu, tidak mengurangkan perbelanjaan ke tahap yang mereka percaya perlu untuk membantu mencegah defisit yang melambung tinggi. "Matematik Tidak Menepati," Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, menyiarkan di media sosial. Dia berkata dia tidak akan menyokongnya. Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., pengerusi Freedom Caucus, mengetuai yang lain untuk bertemu dengan Pemimpin Majoriti Senat John Thune, R-S.D., dan pemimpin kanan Republikan Senat yang lain. "Apa yang boleh kami lakukan ialah memastikan mereka memahami dari mana kami datang dan betapa rapatnya kami mahu bekerjasama dengan mereka untuk mencapai produk akhir," kata Thune selepas itu. Tetapi pemimpin GOP Senat itu mengecam idea Dewan Perwakilan menghantar kembali versi yang dipinda, yang akan memerlukan satu lagi sesi pengundian sepanjang malam seperti yang dialami oleh senator hujung minggu lalu. "Kami tidak boleh melakukan itu - satu lagi vote-a-rama, yang menyeretnya tanpa had masa," kata Thune. Dewan Perwakilan dan Senat masih berada di fasa permulaan proses yang akan mengambil masa berminggu-minggu, jika tidak berbulan-bulan, kerana mereka mengubah resolusi belanjawan mereka menjadi teks perundangan - produk akhir dengan lebih banyak undian di hadapan pada akhir musim bunga atau musim panas ini. Demokrat, dalam minoriti, tidak mempunyai undi yang mencukupi untuk menghentikan pakej itu, tetapi telah memberi amaran terhadapnya. Ketua Demokrat Dewan Perwakilan Hakeem Jeffries dari New York berkata pelan belanjawan Republikan adalah melulu dan tidak berperikemanusiaan kerana ia mencadangkan pemotongan belanjawan untuk memberi pelepasan cukai kepada golongan kaya. "Kami di sini untuk menjelaskannya," kata Jeffries. "Jangan sentuh rakyat Amerika biasa yang bergelut untuk menyara hidup." Teras kepada rangka kerja belanjawan ialah usaha Republikan untuk mengekalkan pelepasan cukai yang diluluskan pada 2017, semasa penggal pertama Trump, sambil berpotensi menambah yang baharu yang dijanjikannya dalam kempen pilihan raya. Itu termasuk tiada cukai ke atas upah tip, pendapatan Keselamatan Sosial dan lain-lain, yang melonjakkan tanda harga kepada kira-kira $7 trilion sepanjang dekad ini. Pakej itu juga membenarkan kenaikan belanjawan dengan kira-kira $175 bilion untuk membayar operasi pengusiran besar-besaran Trump dan sebanyak itu untuk Jabatan Pertahanan untuk meningkatkan perbelanjaan ketenteraan. Semuanya akan dibayar sebahagiannya dengan pemotongan curam kepada program domestik, termasuk penjagaan kesihatan, sebagai sebahagian daripada pengurangan $2 trilion yang digariskan dalam versi pakej GOP Dewan Perwakilan, walaupun beberapa senator GOP telah memberi isyarat bahawa mereka tidak sanggup pergi sejauh itu. Untuk mengurangkan kos, Senat menggunakan kaedah perakaunan luar biasa yang tidak mengira kos mengekalkan pemotongan cukai 2017, kira-kira $4.5 trilion, sebagai perbelanjaan baharu, satu lagi faktor yang mencetuskan kemarahan konservatif Dewan Perwakilan. Dua senator Republikan mengundi menentang pakej mereka semasa sesi hujung minggu semalaman - Sen. Susan Collins dari Maine membantah pemotongan curam kepada Medicaid dalam rangka kerja Dewan Perwakilan, manakala Sen. Rand Paul dari Kentucky berhujah keseluruhan pakej itu bergantung pada matematik "mencurigakan" yang akan menambah hutang. Pakej itu juga akan meningkatkan had hutang negara untuk membenarkan lebih banyak pinjaman untuk membayar bil. Trump mahu penggubal undang-undang mengeluarkan isu yang sukar dari segi politik itu daripada pertimbangan. Dengan hutang kini pada $36 trilion, Jabatan Perbendaharaan telah berkata ia akan kehabisan dana menjelang Ogos. Tetapi Dewan Perwakilan dan Senat perlu menyelesaikan perbezaan mereka mengenai had hutang juga. GOP Dewan Perwakilan menaikkan had hutang sebanyak $4 trilion, tetapi GOP Senat meningkatkannya kepada $5 trilion supaya Kongres tidak perlu menyemak semula isu itu lagi sehingga selepas pilihan raya pertengahan penggal musim luruh 2026. Dengan perang perdagangan Trump yang menyelubungi perdebatan, Republikan Dewan Perwakilan memasukkan peruntukan ke dalam undian prosedur yang akan menghalang tindakan Dewan Perwakilan - seperti yang telah diambil oleh Senat - untuk tidak bersetuju dengan tarif Trump. —Penulis Associated Press Mary Clare Jalonick, Stephen Groves, Leah Askarinam dan Matt Brown menyumbang kepada laporan ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Adakah Nasihat Saham Trump—Menyuruh Pengikut ‘Beli’ Beberapa Jam Sebelum Dia Menarik Balik Tarif—Sah di Sisi Undang-Undang? berita

Adakah Nasihat Saham Trump—Menyuruh Pengikut ‘Beli’ Beberapa Jam Sebelum Dia Menarik Balik Tarif—Sah di Sisi Undang-Undang?

(SeaPRwire) - NEW YORK — Apabila Donald Trump menawarkan beberapa nasihat kewangan pada pagi Rabu, saham berayun antara keuntungan dan kerugian. Tetapi itu akan berubah. “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT,” tulisnya di platform media sosialnya Truth Social pada 9:37 pagi. Kurang daripada empat jam kemudian, Trump mengumumkan penangguhan 90 hari ke atas hampir semua tarifnya. Saham melonjak selepas berita itu, ditutup naik 9.5% menjelang akhir dagangan. Pasaran, yang diukur oleh S&P 500, memperoleh semula kira-kira $4 trilion, atau 70%, daripada nilai yang hilang dalam tempoh empat hari dagangan sebelumnya. Ia adalah panggilan yang tepat pada masanya oleh presiden. Mungkin terlalu tepat pada masanya. “Dia menyukai ini, kawalan ke atas pasaran ini, tetapi dia perlu berhati-hati,” kata pengkritik Trump dan bekas peguam etika Rumah Putih, Richard Painter, sambil menyatakan bahawa undang-undang sekuriti melarang perdagangan maklumat dalaman atau membantu orang lain berbuat demikian. "Orang yang membeli apabila mereka melihat catatan itu membuat banyak wang." Persoalannya, adakah Trump sudah mempertimbangkan penangguhan tarif apabila dia membuat catatan itu? Ditanya tentang bila dia membuat keputusan itu, Trump memberikan jawapan yang tidak jelas. “Saya akan katakan pagi ini,” katanya. "Sejak beberapa hari kebelakangan ini, saya telah memikirkannya." Dia kemudian menambah, "Agak awal pagi ini." Diminta penjelasan mengenai masa dalam e-mel kepada Rumah Putih kemudian, seorang jurucakap tidak menjawab secara langsung tetapi mempertahankan catatan Trump sebagai sebahagian daripada tugasnya. "Adalah menjadi tanggungjawab Presiden Amerika Syarikat untuk meyakinkan pasaran dan rakyat Amerika tentang keselamatan ekonomi mereka dalam menghadapi penakutan media yang tidak henti-henti," tulis jurucakap Rumah Putih, Kush Desai. Satu lagi keanehan catatan itu ialah tandatangan Trump dengan huruf awalnya. DJT juga merupakan simbol saham untuk Trump Media and Technology Group, syarikat induk platform media sosial presiden Truth Social. Tidak jelas sama ada Trump mengatakan membeli saham secara umum, atau Trump Media khususnya. Rumah Putih ditanya, tetapi tidak membincangkan perkara itu juga. Trump memasukkan "DJT" pada catatannya secara berselang-seli, biasanya untuk menekankan bahawa dia secara peribadi menulis mesej itu. Ketidakjelasan tentang apa yang dimaksudkan oleh Trump tidak menghalang orang ramai daripada melaburkan wang ke dalam saham itu. Trump Media ditutup naik 22.67%, melonjak dua kali ganda lebih banyak daripada pasaran yang lebih luas, prestasi yang menakjubkan oleh sebuah syarikat yang kehilangan $400 juta tahun lepas dan nampaknya tidak terjejas sama ada tarif akan dikenakan atau ditangguhkan. Pegangan 53% Trump dalam syarikat itu, kini dalam amanah yang dikawal oleh anak sulungnya, Donald Trump Jr., meningkat sebanyak $415 juta pada hari itu. Trump Media diatasi, walaupun hanya dengan dua peratusan ratusan mata, oleh pilihan saham pentadbiran Trump yang lain — Tesla milik Elon Musk. Bulan lepas, Trump mengadakan sidang akhbar luar biasa di luar Rumah Putih memuji syarikat itu dan keretanya. Itu diikuti dengan penampilan Fox TV oleh setiausaha perdagangannya yang menggesa penonton untuk membeli saham itu. Lonjakan Tesla pada hari Rabu menambah $20 bilion kepada kekayaan Musk. Kathleen Clark, seorang pakar undang-undang etika kerajaan di Washington University School of Law, mengatakan catatan Trump dalam pentadbiran lain akan disiasat, tetapi tidak mungkin mencetuskan sebarang reaksi, kecuali mungkin lebih ramai penonton Truth Social. "Dia menghantar mesej bahawa dia boleh secara efektif dan tanpa hukuman memanipulasi pasaran," katanya, "Seperti: Perhatikan ruang ini untuk petua saham masa depan."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
