- 特朗普总统给了他的新任新闻秘书一个退出的选择。她接受了。
- President Trump gave his new press secretary an out. She took it.
总统今天表示，他给了凯蒂·扎卡里亚离职的选择，告诉她：“如果你不想做，你就不必这么做。”一位熟悉计划的人士表示，扎卡里亚预计将转到一个稍后公布的新职位。她上任第一周就显得举步维艰：她的首场新闻发布会表现不稳，并且因自称律师却未通过律师资格考试且未持有美国律师执照而受到质疑。
The president said today that he gave Katie Zacharia the option to leave her job, telling her: “You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.”Zacharia is expected to move into a new role that will be announced later, a person familiar with the plans said. Her first week on the job was rocky: Her debut press briefing was shaky, and she faced scrutiny for referring to herself as a lawyer despite not passing the bar exam and not holding a U.S. law license.
- 世界正全力押注AI，不管好坏。全球金融领袖在曼谷的国际货币基金组织和世界银行会议上发出警告：世界经济实际上已经把所有筹码押在了人工智能上。到目前为止，这一押注已经获得回报，尤其是在美国和亚洲。但如果AI让人失望，泡沫破裂可能引发严重的经济衰退，富国和穷国都将受到冲击。
- The world is all-in on AI, for better or worse. Global financial leaders gathered at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings in Bangkok with a warning: the world economy has effectively bet the house on artificial intelligence. So far, the bet has paid off, especially for the U.S. and Asia. But if AI disappoints, a bust could trigger a sharp economic pullback, hitting rich and poor nations alike.
- 特朗普政府的移民打压正在使住房建设成本上升。根据最近的一项调查，近三分之二的建筑商表示移民执法正在影响他们的劳动力，而一年前这一比例仅为13%。执法行动尤其严重地打击了屋顶工、油漆工和木工等行业。与此同时，数据中心建设也在抽走电工等专业工人，从而推高了住房建设成本。移民执法的支持者认为，驱逐出境将降低需求并降低房价。但建筑商警告称，劳动力流失正在阻碍供应，并加剧全国范围内的住房可负担性挑战。
- The Trump administration’s immigration crackdown is making home-building more expensive. Nearly two-thirds of builders say immigration enforcement is affecting their labor force, up from 13% a year ago, according to a recent survey. Enforcement has hit trades such as roofers, painters and framers especially hard. Meanwhile, data center build-outs are also driving up costs for home builders by siphoning off specialized workers like electricians. Immigration-enforcement advocates say deportations will cool demand and lower housing costs. Builders warn that the labor drain is stalling supply and worsening nationwide housing affordability challenges.
