米国、選挙懸念の中ベネズエラへの石油制裁を再開
In a significant policy reversal, the Biden administration has announced the reimposition of oil sanctions on Venezuela, signaling a hardening stance against President Nicolás Maduro's government. This move comes as a response to what the U.S. perceives as Maduro's failure to uphold promises for a free and fair presidential election, a condition for the initial easing of sanctions. The decision underscores the deteriorating hopes for democratic progress in Venezuela, a country already mired in a deep political and economic crisis.
The sanctions, which target Venezuela's… 続きを読む

米国の債務は世界経済に「重大なリスク」をもたらす
The IMF has warned the US that its massive fiscal deficits have stoked inflation and pose “significant risks” for the global economy.
The fund said in its benchmark Fiscal Monitor that it expected the US to record a fiscal deficit of 7.1 per cent next year — more than three times the 2 per cent average for other advanced economies.
It also raised concerns over Chinese government debt, with the country set to record a deficit of 7.6 per cent in 2025 — more than double the 3.7 per cent average for other emerging markets — as Beijing copes with weak demand and a housi… 続きを読む

政治的分裂が米国自動車産業に打撃を与える
The U.S. auto industry needs regulatory certainty from politicians in Washington and the back and forth as the White House changes hands doesn't help, but the adoption rate of electric vehicles will continue to grow, Ford Motor's (F.N), opens new tab executive chairman Bill Ford said on Wednesday.
The CEO of Ford said when he talks with politicians in Washington, he gets very different viewpoints from the two parties.
He said Republicans question the need for EVs, saying the U.S. sector trails China and they don't want to use Chinese technology. Meanwhile, Democrats are pushing… 続きを読む

国連安全保障理事会、パレスチナの国連加盟について金曜日に投票へ
The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to vote Friday on a Palestinian request for full U.N. membership, said diplomats, a move that Israel ally the United States is expected to block because it would effectively recognize a Palestinian state.
The 15-member council is due to vote at 3 p.m. (1900 GMT) Friday on a draft resolution that recommends to the 193-member U.N. General Assembly that "the State of Palestine be admitted to membership of the United Nations," diplomats said.
A council resolution needs at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the U.S., Britain, France,… 続きを読む

イラン大統領、イスラエルが「最小の侵攻」を行えば「大規模な」対応を警告
Iran’s president has warned that the “tiniest invasion” by Israel would bring a “massive and harsh” response, as the region braces for potential Israeli retaliation after Iran’s attack over the weekend.
President Ebrahim Raisi spoke Wednesday at an annual army parade that was moved to a barracks north of the capital, Tehran, from its usual venue on a highway in the city’s southern outskirts. Iranian authorities gave no explanation for its relocation, and state television didn’t broadcast it live, as it has in previous years.
Iran launched hundreds… 続きを読む

イランの攻撃への対応をめぐりイスラエル国民の意見が割れる
Throughout the six months that Israel has been fighting in Gaza, the public has overwhelmingly supported the war effort, with the vast majority of Israelis backing the goal to destroy Hamas and free the hostages still held in the enclave.
But there is no such consensus on how to respond to the threat from Iran, whose strike on Israel in the early hours of Sunday has revived fears that the hostilities that have engulfed the Middle East since Hamas’s October 7 attack could escalate into a regional conflict.
A poll carried out by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem this week found 52 per cent… 続きを読む

寄付者基盤が縮小し、資金競争でトランプ氏、ジョー・バイデン氏に7500万ドル差をつけられる
Donald Trump has raised $75mn less for his presidential bid than Joe Biden and has 270,000 fewer unique donors now than at the same stage of his run for the White House four years ago.
The findings, from a Financial Times analysis of federal campaign data, raise new questions about how the former president’s shrunken base will sustain him through costly court cases and what is expected to be the most expensive presidential race ever.
The Trump campaign and affiliated political action committees have attracted roughly 900,000 donors from July 2023 through the first quarter of 2024, compare… 続きを読む

ウォール街の「恐怖指数」が中東戦争への恐怖で急上昇
US investors are paying the biggest premiums since October to protect their portfolios against market gyrations as mounting tensions in the Middle East and reduced expectations of interest rate cuts fuel a surge in volatility.
The Vix index, Wall Street’s so-called “fear gauge”, hit 19.6 this week, its highest level since October 20, two weeks after the Hamas attack that triggered Israel’s war in Gaza.
The metric measures the price of options that enable investors to profit from swings in the S&P 500.
As of Wednesday morning in the US, the index had receded slight… 続きを読む

ジョー・バイデン、中国製鉄鋼への関税を3倍に引き上げるよう要求
US President Joe Biden is pushing for tariffs to triple on Chinese steel and aluminum, as he seeks to boost union support in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
In a meeting with United Steelworkers union members in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Biden will call on trade representative Katherine Tai to triple the tariff on the imports from the current average of 7.5 per cent.
Biden’s campaign is trying to shore up support among union workers ahead of November’s US presidential election, in which Pennsylvania could play a decisive role.
“It is important for us to get ahead of China&rsquo… 続きを読む
