特朗普2025年上任以来多次扬言要得到格陵兰岛，并声称不排除动用武力的可能性。特朗普在本月早些 时候接受采访时称，委内瑞拉可能不会是美国干涉的最后一个国家，并称"我们绝对需要格陵兰岛"。 特朗普这番言论引发丹麦等欧洲国家强烈反对。丹麦、法国、德国、意大利、波兰、西班牙和英国于1 月6日发表联合声明，强调格陵兰岛属于其人民，只有丹麦和格陵兰岛有权决定涉及其自身的事务。 Eurasia Group欧洲事务董事总经理Mujtaba Rahman则表示，在特朗普最新表态之后，丹麦政府已进 入"全面危机模式"。 智通财经APP获悉，预测市场交易员正大加大押注，认为在美国总统特朗普对委内瑞拉发动突袭之后， 未来可能还会出现更多国际动荡。在这些预测平台上，交易员近来正开始围绕白宫下一步可能将注意力 转向何处投入资金。随着华尔街和美国普通民众注意到特朗普政府正转向更快速、更强硬的国际打击行 动，这类押注明显升温。 Piper Sandler分析师Andy Laperriere周一在致客户的报告中写道："对投资者而言，最重要的结论是，特 朗普在动用军事力量方面变得更加自如、也更加自信。他第二个任期的第一年以充沛的精力和高风险偏 ...

新华社巴拿马城10月23日电（记者许咏政）第22届巴拿马"插旗仪式"23日在巴拿马运河畔知识城举行， 以纪念巴拿马人民为收回运河主权所开展的反美爱国行动。 巴拿马前总统米雷娅·莫斯科索在仪式上担任荣誉旗手。她在讲话中回顾了1999年巴拿马全面收回运河 主权的历程，并回忆起巴拿马运河移交的历史瞬间。"当美国前总统吉米·卡特将巴拿马国旗递给我时， 那一刻我知道，巴拿马真的自由了。" 巴拿马运河位于美洲大陆中部，纵贯巴拿马地峡，是一条沟通太平洋和大西洋的船闸式运河。美国是巴 拿马运河的第一大使用国。今年以来，特朗普多次声称要"拿回"美国对巴拿马运河的控制权。 1903年，美国与巴拿马签署条约，美国取得修建和经营巴拿马运河的永久垄断权以及运河区的永久占领 权。运河区严格限制巴拿马人进入，并禁止升起巴拿马国旗。20世纪上半叶，巴拿马曾多次同美国就修 改不平等的运河条约进行谈判，并多次爆发反美抗议活动。在巴拿马人民的不屈抗争和国际舆论压力 下，1999年12月31日，巴拿马最终收回对运河的管理和防务权，驻在运河区的美军全部撤出。 活动主办方知识城基金会执行主席豪尔赫·阿罗塞梅纳在仪式上说，1958年5月2日，一群巴拿马学 ...

当地时间9月24日，巴拿马总统穆利诺在第80届联合国大会一般性辩论上发言时，坚定重申对《关于巴 拿马运河永久中立和经营的条约》的承诺。 穆利诺表示，中立是保护巴拿马运河安全的最佳方式，这是一项全球公共财富。穆利诺说，中立、开放 于世界、促进更加一体化国际贸易的巴拿马运河，将永远属于巴拿马。 此外，穆利诺表示，联合国不仅肩负着防止全球战争的根本使命，还面临着推动实现可持续发展目标的 紧迫挑战。当前世界正面临三场毁灭性危机：气候危机、污染危机和生物多样性丧失，而合作局面却日 益支离破碎，对这些危机的应对必须迅速而团结。 （文章来源：央视新闻客户端） ...
