过去一年，印度在这方面确实有所改变。面对美印之间日益加剧的关税摩擦，新德里开始减少从俄罗斯进口石油，连续几个月降低采购量，向外界传递出配 合美国的信号。这些改变不是简单的态度转变，而是源自于实际的商业决定。然而，在特朗普看来，这些改变依然远远不够。他关注的并不是趋势的变化， 而是最终的结果。在他看来，只要印度继续购买俄罗斯石油，就意味着印度尚未完全站在美国所划定的正确立场上。因此，美国的施压手段开始逐步升级。 美国对一部分从印度进口的商品加征了更高的关税，税率大幅上升。虽然关税的经济影响有限，但政治信号却无比清晰。 特朗普近期再度将火力全开，对多个国家展开了一轮又一轮的地点名批评。从墨西哥到丹麦、再到伊朗和哥伦比亚，这些国家相继被他点名。然而，最让人 注意的还是印度，这个国家也迅速意识到自己在特朗普的眼皮底下已经被列入了批评的名单。1月7日，路透社报道了一个消息：特朗普总统已同意让一项加 大对俄罗斯制裁的两党法案继续推进，其中包括对购买俄罗斯石油的国家征收高达500%的关税。 委内瑞拉的局势成了这次行动的一个分水岭。在美国军方 的行动完成后，华盛顿迅速塑造了一幅高效胜利的画面，特朗普本人也在社交平台上更加频繁 ...

民调显示，仅17%美国民众支持特朗普夺取格陵兰岛，支持武力夺岛者仅4%；66%受访者担忧此举损害 美欧及北约关系。特朗普2025年上任后多次扬言获取格陵兰岛，其对外强硬政策在国内反响冷淡，民众 更关注国内议题而非海外扩张。 格陵兰岛为丹麦自治领地，战略位置重要，美国已在此设有军事基地。当前北极地缘竞争升温，该岛因 航道与资源价值成为大国博弈焦点，此次争端进一步加剧地区局势复杂性。 本版稿件据新华社、央视等 丹麦外交大臣拉斯穆森与格陵兰岛自治政府官员14日赴白宫会谈，虽与美国副总统万斯、国务卿鲁比奥 就格陵兰岛安全议题展开"坦诚讨论"，但双方在格陵兰岛归属问题上的"根本性分歧"未获弥合。拉斯穆 森明确指出，特朗普政府"征服"格陵兰岛的意图明显，美方所谓"收购"提议毫无必要，双方仅同意成立 工作组后续协商。 特朗普虽未参会，会后表态语气稍缓，承认丹麦利益但坚持对格陵兰岛"保留任何选项"。此前他曾称， 格陵兰岛对美国"金穹"导弹防御系统至关重要，呼吁北约牵头助美获取该岛。美国会多名参议员对此表 示担忧，认为此举可能扰乱北约，已有议员提出立法草案阻止相关行动。 同日，法国、德国、挪威、瑞典等欧洲多国宣布向格陵兰岛派遣 ...
