当十架CV-22鱼鹰战机飞过加勒比海上空时，美国格陵兰岛特使的任命书摆到了特朗普的办公桌上，而一份关于中国半导体行业关税的文件则悄悄推迟了十 八个月。特朗普刚刚在社交媒体X上宣布任命路易斯安那州州长杰夫·兰德里为美国格陵兰岛特使，后者表示要将这个丹麦自治领地变成美国的一部分。 几 乎在同一时刻，至少十架CV-22型鱼鹰倾转旋翼机从美国新墨西哥州飞抵加勒比地区，并且还伴随有装载美军人员和装备的C-17运输机。与此同时，美国贸 易代表办公室公布了对中国半导体行业的301调查结论，决定将新增关税的实施时间推迟至2027年6月23日。这一系列事件让国际观察家看到了美国战略重点 的转变。长期以来被美国视为后院的西半球地区，如今重新成为了白宫外交与安全政策的核心焦点。 新版《国家安全战略报告》明确将拉丁美洲定为美国核心利益圈。这份文件实际上复活了门罗主义，宣称要阻止外国敌对势力控制西半球的关键资产。美国 的军事部署紧随其后。根据飞行数据，来自佐治亚州和肯塔基州的C-17运输机已经抵达波多黎各，飞机上载有美军人员和装备，而这些基地还驻扎着美军特 战部队。美国在加勒比地区的军事存在达到了近年来的高峰，由福特号航母带领的打击群 ...

【九万里：#特朗普为何推出最高金额对台军售#】 #美对台军售在试探中方底线#在中美战略竞争不断 加剧的背景下，美国正试图通过对台军售加码"武装台湾"，干扰和延缓两岸统一进程。 从军售内容看，与11月的零部件与维修服务不同，本次军售明显向进攻性武器装备倾斜，挑衅意图进一 步升级。这种渐进式的试探，意在逐步突破对台军售的"防御性"限制，不断试探中方的反应底线。 从装备选择看，此次对台出售的武器装备，均在乌克兰战场上得到广泛应用，属于经过实战检验的美军 现役装备。与此同时，美军还针对在俄乌冲突中暴露的电子战短板，对相关系统进行了针对性升级。这 种"战场明星套餐"式的打包输出，反映出美国武装台湾的思路已从过去的"象征性支持"和"维持性补 给"，转向依托最新实战经验、进行系统性战力构建的新阶段。 美国企图通过对台军售，在台海打造一座高度武装化的"作战堡垒"，强化对华战略施压。（九万里） ...

《亚洲时报》12月9日报道：特朗普政府最近发布的《国家防务战略》，在"确保美国继续保持全球第一 大经济体地位"这一点上，与前几任政府并没有太大的区别。简单来说，这份战略继续沿用了美国多年 来的两党共识：美国必须永远坐稳名义GDP第一的位置，而中国最好永远停留在第二的位置。然而，这 一立场完全是美国的一厢情愿。 一、两党共识的真面目 特朗普是一个大家都熟悉的人物。2025年，他将重新入主白宫，而他的风格依 旧是我们熟知的"特朗普味"——依靠推特治国、直言不讳、喜欢与媒体争锋。在国际事务中，特朗普上 任后便退出了一些国际组织，重新谈判了多个贸易协定，对中国更是采取了强硬态度，展现出一副"全 面开战"的姿态。 关税不断上调，科技领域的封锁清单也不断增加，像芯片、人工智能、量子计算等前 沿领域，几乎都被划上了"红线"。如果仅仅从这些动作来看，许多人会认为特朗普在试图将中美关系推 到不可挽回的地步。尽管中美经历了五轮经贸磋商，关税战暂时休战一年，并且特朗普还表示"预计明 年4月将访问中国"，但他在12月初发布的《国家防务战略》依然保持了既定的立场。 回顾一下民主党拜登政府的做法，甚至更早的奥巴马和小布什政府时期，你会发 ...
