白宫指责美联储主席鲍威尔在一项"奢华的"美联储总部翻新工程中存在"严重管理不善"，为其攻击美联 储的行动开辟了一条新战线。 沃特声称，翻新工程最初"要求建造屋顶露台花园、贵宾私人餐厅和电梯、水景、高级大理石等等"。他 补充说："类似的联邦大楼翻新成本，比起你花着纳税人的钱为自己建造的办公室，要低好几个数量 级。" 沃特对这座位于华盛顿的马里纳·埃克尔斯大楼（Marriner Eccles Building）耗资25亿美元的翻新工程提 出批评，他声称其成本按当前美元计算几乎与凡尔赛宫相当。这标志着特朗普政府与该银行斗争的一种 新策略。 美国总统特朗普因美联储自年初以来将利率维持在4.25-4.5%的决定，而对其利率政策发动常态化攻 击，给鲍威尔贴上了"倔驴"和"笨蛋"的标签。 美联储表示，在对特朗普的贸易战将如何影响美国通胀有更清晰的认识之前，它无法进一步降息。 国会的共和党成员已就翻新费用问题攻击美联储，参议院银行委员会主席蒂姆·斯科特（Tim Scott）表 示，在普通美国人正苦苦挣扎之际，此举显得脱离群众。 白宫管理和预算办公室（OMB）主任拉斯·沃特（Russell Vought）在一篇帖子中表示，美联 ...

特朗普本周对巴西加征关税，并称前总统博索纳罗因面临"政变"指控是"猎巫行动"。然而，这种干预反 而让博索纳罗陷入困境，其支持者也面临分裂。 巴西总统卢拉表示，他希望通过外交途径解决特朗普提出的50%关税威胁，但誓言若关税自8月1日起生 效，巴西将对等回击。 他的强硬立场正在获得选民的认可。他提到国会最近通过的一项法律，该法律赋予总统权力以报复贸易 壁垒， "如果他们对我们收50%的税，我们也会对他们收50%。" 巴西总统卢拉的政治宿敌、前总统博索纳罗，正是特朗普对该国发起50%关税行动的导火索，目前因法 律纠纷被禁止参选，无法与成功"东山再起"的卢拉直接对决。他已多个月来几乎是在公开乞求特朗普的 帮助，以应对即将到来的"政变未遂"指控审判。 外媒分析称，表面上看，特朗普高调介入巴西事务，称博索纳罗的案件为"猎巫行动"并要求撤销指控， 似乎是两个民族主义者之间的相互声援。但实际上，这却让博索纳罗及其"模仿MAGA"的追随者陷入 了困境。 特朗普的干预不仅未能鼓舞巴西右翼，反而让一位同样具有魅力、拥有自己民粹支持基础的对手有了机 会，宣称美国正在干涉一个对外来干预格外敏感的年轻民主国家。 对于特朗普所说的"猎巫行 ...
