每经编辑｜毕陆名 据央视新闻26日消息，当地时间25日，美国总统特朗普威胁称，联邦政府将可能不再继续向哈佛大学提供新的拨款，并要求校方提供所有国际学生的姓名及 国籍信息，以便进一步审查。 《日本经济新闻》网站文章认为，来自全球的优秀人才曾支撑起美国的繁荣，而特朗普政府正试图切断这一循环。 近期在英国伦敦发布的《2025年全球软实力指数》显示，美国在国际社会的"声誉"指标明显下滑。软实力概念的提出者、哈佛大学肯尼迪政府学院前院长约 瑟夫·奈在去世前曾撰文说，美国吸引其他国家的能力已日渐衰落，特朗普政府的种种做法正严重损害美国的"软实力"。 斯普雷策表示，美国教育委员会在4月就给美国国务院和国土安全部致信，要求他们如果要撤销学生签证，终止学生及交流访问学者项目，就需要提供更多 信息，但并没有收到回应。 斯普雷策说，她担心准入学的国际学生觉得来美国风险太大，从而导致学生数量开始下降，而国际学生去年一年就给美国带来了430亿美元的经济收益。 另据新华社报道，针对特朗普政府对哈佛大学的"国际禁招令"，哈佛大学教授瑞安·伊诺斯称，美国政府正试图对一个美国机构施加惩罚，原因仅仅是这个 机构没有屈服于美国政府的政治意愿。 美 ...

在月初举行的澳大利亚联邦选举中，工党政府以压倒性优势实现连任，进一步巩固了其在政坛的主导地 位。目前，工党在众议院已占据90个席位，而反对党仅获40席，这一悬殊结果对保守派阵营构成沉重打 击。 尤为引人注目的是，素有"澳大利亚特朗普"之称的反对党领袖彼得·达顿在此次选举中意外落败，失去 了其议席。 此次选举结果标志着澳大利亚保守反对派已陷入边缘化境地，其内部因激烈争斗和相互指责而元气大 伤，未来数年恐难以重振旗鼓，更遑论成为主流政治力量。 无独有偶，早些时候，加拿大中间偏左的自由党也在联邦大选中脱颖而出，成功击败了此前民调领先25 个百分点的保守党。 加拿大保守党领袖皮埃尔·波利耶夫尔，这位曾被视为"加拿大特朗普"的政客，同样在选举中折戟沉 沙，失去了议席。 而在英国地方议会选举中，保守党更是遭遇了滑铁卢。在奈杰尔·法拉奇领导的民粹主义改革党的猛烈 攻势下，保守党失去了对多个地方议会和市长职位的控制权。 保守党领袖凯米·巴登诺克，这位特朗普的忠实拥趸，曾公开赞誉特朗普为"世界上一股向善的力量"， 并要求工党首相和外交部长为批评特朗普的行为道歉。 但她的这一立场并未能挽救保守党的颓势，反而使其陷入了更深的政治困 ...
