当地时间10月14日，特朗普在白宫会见了阿根廷总统米莱，二人签署了一份重大协议——总额200亿美 元的货币互换。 尽管名义上叫"货币互换"，但许多美国媒体都将该协议称为"紧急信贷"，说白了就是美国财政部贷款给 米莱政府。 略微不同之处在于，货币互换协议比较可控，得一点一点换，而不是一次性支付。 协议签署后，特朗普公开表示："我支持这个人（指米莱），因为他的理念是正确的。他可能会赢，也 可能不会赢——我认为他会赢。如果他赢了，我们就和他在一起，如果没有赢，我们就走了。" 特朗普所说的"输赢"是指即将于10月26日举行的阿根廷立法机构选举，倘若米莱及其盟友丢掉多数席 次，会在很大程度上丧失对本国经济事务的主导权。 值此千钧一发之际，美国果断向米莱施加援手，试图影响阿根廷选举结果。 这是自1995年克林顿政府向墨西哥提供200亿美元贷款以来，美国首次大规模救援陷入经济困境的外国 政府。 而根据特朗普高级经济顾问的说法，美国政府还直接购买了金额不详的阿根廷比索，是美国自1996年以 来第四次购买他国货币。 所有这些措施，均旨在稳定脆弱的阿根廷金融市场，为米莱撑腰打气。 一、货币互换协议 新闻里经常听到"人民币与某某货 ...

多达 920 页的 "2025 计划 " 2023年4月，美国保守派智库传统基金会发布了一本多达920页的书《领袖之使命：保守派的承诺》，详 细阐述了一项耗资2200万美元、与100多个保守派团体共同制定的"2025计划"。该计划是一项"政权过渡 计划"，即在预设特朗普和共和党将在总统大选中获胜的前提下制定的政策路线图。 传统基金会主席凯文·罗伯茨去年1月接受美国《纽约时报》记者采访时描述称，该计划的目标是"将特 朗普主义制度化"。传统基金会是当今美国最大、影响力最强的保守派思想库之一，具有鲜明的保守主 义政治立场。 根据"2025计划"负责人保罗·丹斯在序言中的描述，这项计划有四大支柱：总统需要完成的使命；建立 一项总统人事数据库；设立"总统行政学院"；一份新一届政府运行后激活团队和计划的180天行动手 册。 在总统的使命部分，具体内容包括改革联邦政府、扩大总统权力，例如加强对司法部、联邦调查局、联 邦通信委员会等联邦机构的控制，这些机构传统上被认为应该保持一定的独立性。据《纽约时报》报 道，罗伯茨等人认为，美国宪法第二条赋予总统对行政部门的"完全控制权"，因此国会不能越过总统指 导联邦机构负责人做决定，也 ...

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 ...
