每周新闻摘要：特朗普揭幕了阿拉斯加 - 日本液化天然气合作伙伴关系，承诺能量提升和乔布斯

唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统宣布，美国与日本之间的合资企业集中在阿拉斯加的液化天然气（LNG）上。特朗普在与日本总理史密斯·伊斯皮邦（Shigeru Ishiba）的新闻发布会上说，日本将进口美国液化天然气，并指出阿拉斯加作为石油和天然气枢纽的地位。

President Donald Trump announced a joint venture between the United States and Japan focused on Alaska’s liquefied natural gas (LNG). During a news conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Trump stated that Japan will import American LNG, noting Alaska’s position as an oil and gas hub. This partnership is expected to create jobs and potentially reduce the trade deficit in Asia. Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy and Senator Dan Sullivan expressed optimism about the project’s potential to impact the American steel industry and provide energy to allies in the Asia-Pacific region. However, environmental groups like the Alaska Wilderness League have raised concerns about the potential greenhouse gas emissions from the project, which they argue could undermine global climate efforts.

唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统宣布，美国与日本之间的合资企业集中在阿拉斯加的液化天然气（LNG）上。特朗普在与日本总理史密斯·伊斯皮邦（Shigeru Ishiba）的新闻发布会上说，日本将进口美国液化天然气，并指出阿拉斯加作为石油和天然气枢纽的地位。预计这种伙伴关系将创造就业机会并有可能减少亚洲的贸易赤字。阿拉斯加州长迈克·邓利维（Mike Dunleavy）和参议员丹·沙利文（Dan Sullivan）对该项目影响美国钢铁行业的潜力并为亚太地区的盟友提供能源表示乐观。但是，像阿拉斯加荒野联盟这样的环保组织对该项目的潜在温室气体排放引起了人们的关注，他们认为这可能会破坏全球气候努力。

Meanwhile, President Trump has directed the U.S. Treasury to cease the production of pennies, citing the cost of minting the one-cent coin. The U.S. Mint reported that producing a penny costs 3.69 cents, marking the 19th consecutive year that production costs have exceeded the coin’s face value. Rising metal prices, particularly copper, have contributed to this increase. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, has criticized the financial burden on taxpayers, noting that penny production cost over $179 million in the fiscal year 2023. Opponents, such as The Penny Coalition, argue that eliminating the penny could lead to price rounding that disproportionately affects lower-income individuals.

同时，特朗普总统指示美国财政部停止了一分钱的生产，理由是造成单美分硬币的成本。美国造币厂报告说，生产一分钱的成本为3.69美分，这标志着生产成本连续第19年超过了硬币的面值。金属价格上涨，尤其是铜，为这一增长做出了贡献。由埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）领导的政府效率部批评了纳税人的财务负担，并指出一分钱的产量在2023财政年度的成本超过1.79亿美元。对手，例如Penny Coalition四舍五入，对低收入个人产生了不成比例的影响。

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency also alleges that FEMA misallocated $59 million intended for disaster relief to luxury hotels in New York City for housing migrants, in violation of the President’s executive order. Musk's department plans to demand a clawback of these funds.

埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）的政府效率部还声称，FEMA因违反总统行政命令而暂停了5,900万美元用于纽约市住房移民的豪华酒店的救灾。马斯克的部门计划要求对这些资金进行回避。

A leaked FBI document has sparked controversy over planned ICE raids in Los Angeles. The leak, reportedly from FBI officials, has led to public criticism from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who condemned the FBI’s actions. The planned immigration enforcement operation aims to target individuals without legal status or with pending removal orders, with assistance from FBI and DEA agents. The FBI has denied involvement in the leak and announced an internal investigation to identify the source.

联邦调查局泄漏的文件引发了关于洛杉矶计划的冰袭击的争议。据报道，来自联邦调查局官员的泄漏导致了国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆（Kristi Noem）的公众批评，克里斯蒂·诺伊姆（Kristi Noem）谴责了联邦调查局的行动。计划的移民执法行动旨在针对未经法律地位的个人，或在联邦调查局和DEA代理商的协助下针对撤职命令。联邦调查局否认参与泄漏，并宣布进行内部调查以识别来源。

The UK government is reportedly involved in a controversy with Apple regarding iCloud encryption. Allegations suggest that the UK secretly ordered Apple to create a backdoor in its encrypted iCloud storage, potentially affecting two billion users worldwide. Apple is legally prohibited from disclosing this order, raising concerns about privacy and government overreach. Privacy advocates, such as Privacy International, have condemned the alleged order, calling it a violation of privacy rights and urging Apple to resist such demands.

据报道，英国政府参与了与苹果关于iCloud加密的争议。指控表明，英国秘密命令苹果在其加密的iCloud存储中创建后门，可能会影响全球20亿用户。法律禁止苹果披露此命令，从而引起对隐私和政府过度的担忧。隐私拥护者，例如国际隐私权，谴责了所谓的命令，称其为侵犯隐私权，并敦促苹果抵制这种要求。

Finally, the problem of deteriorating infrastructure has been noted in advanced economies like the U.S., Europe, and Japan. Maintenance costs are rising, yet these expenditures do not directly contribute to economic output. The push for renewable energy adds complexity, requiring significant infrastructure investments without immediate economic benefits.

最后，在美国，欧洲和日本等发达经济体中已经注意到了基础设施恶化的问题。维护成本正在上升，但是这些支出并没有直接促进经济产出。促进可再生能源的推动增加了复杂性，需要大量基础设施投资而无需立即经济利益。
