今年1月6日，马查多在接受福克斯新闻主持人肖恩·汉尼提采访时称，将诺贝尔和平奖"转交"特朗普 是"委内瑞拉人民表达感激的方式"，因为"这是属于委内瑞拉人民的奖项"。但她也承认，自获奖以来， 她未再与特朗普有过直接联系。对此，特朗普于1月9日在接受福克斯新闻采访时回应称，若能从马查多 手中接过该奖项，"将是莫大的荣幸"，并称自己未获奖"对挪威而言是一大耻辱"。特朗普还表示，近期 他可能与访美的马查多会面。 自1月3日强行控制并带走委内瑞拉总统马杜罗及其夫人后，特朗普曾多次表示，美国将在委内瑞拉代总 统罗德里格斯的合作下"管理"委内瑞拉，并称美国可能会推动石油公司重建委内瑞拉的能源基础设施。 美媒称，特朗普没有就委内瑞拉何时举行新选举给出时间表，并表示他不认为马查多拥有足够的支持来 治理这个国家。"我认为她很难成为领导人，"特朗普此前告诉记者，"她在委内瑞拉国内既缺乏支持， 也不受尊重。她是个非常好的人，但得不到人们的尊重。" 两名接近白宫的消息人士向《华盛顿邮报》透露，特朗普并不支持马查多担任委内瑞拉领导人，部分原 因正是她接受了诺贝尔和平奖。"如果她当初拒绝领奖，说'这其实是特朗普的功劳'，她现在可能已经 是 ...

有观点认为，这种严重脱钩的重要原因，是企业对人工智能的应用正在改变分配格局。经济学家分析 称，企业通过自动化手段减少人力投入以优化利润，这在分配层面抑制了劳动者分享增长红利的空间， 并对薪资水平构成下行压力，最终使得利润向企业侧集中。 在此背景下，美国2025年求职市场陷入20年未见的寒冬。日前发布的报告显示，上个月美国雇主仅雇用 了5万名新员工，2025年平均每月新增就业岗位约4.9万个，比去年平均每月新增就业岗位下降了70%。 而同期美国企业利润率创下数十年最高水平。 【环球时报驻美国特约记者 冯亚仁】美国工人获得的经济份额创下历史新低。根据美国劳工统计局 （BLS）的最新核算，去年第三季度美国工人的"分饼"比例已缩减至53.8%。这不仅是一个数字的跳 水，更是"自1947年该经济数据追踪以来，劳动者报酬在GDP中所占份额最少的一次"。 根据劳工统计局8日发布的《劳动生产率与成本》报告，被称为"劳动收入占比"的指标在该季度降至 53.8%，低于上一季度的54.6%，也明显低于本世纪20年代迄今约55.6%的平均水平。 按BLS的定义，劳动收入占比是指"以报酬形式流向劳动者的经济产出百分比"。这里的"报酬" ...
