乔·拜登总统宣布了由美国和法国促成的黎巴嫩和以色列之间的停火协议,旨在永久停止敌对行动。该协议规定以色列将在未来60天内逐步撤军,而黎巴嫩军队将控制边境附近的地区,以确保真主党不会在那里重新集结。 与此同时,加沙地带的巴勒斯坦人对缺乏类似的停火协议感到担忧和被抛弃。资深记者尼达尔·阿尔-马格拉比报道说,许多巴勒斯坦人,特别是加沙地带的居民,认为世界各国未能施加足够的压力以促成类似的停火协议。哈马斯和以色列之间持续的争端阻碍了加沙地带停火协议的达成。 美国记者迈克尔·马蒂纳分析了特朗普总统计划对墨西哥、中国和加拿大征收关税以遏制芬太尼流入美国的策略。他指出,特朗普政府将关税作为外交杠杆,而非传统的贸易平衡手段。特朗普政府还计划对墨西哥的贩毒集团采取强硬措施,而中国则否认其在芬太尼危机中的作用,并反对贸易战。墨西哥总统则警告说,特朗普的关税将给两国带来严重的经济后果。 白宫记者安德烈亚·沙拉尔报道了拜登总统提议扩大医疗保险和医疗补助计划的覆盖范围,以包括抗肥胖药物,例如Ozempic、Wegovy和Mounjaro。此举将使数百万美国人能够负担得起这些昂贵的药物。然而,这一提案的实施取决于特朗普政府的批准,而特朗普政府内部对这一问题存在分歧,例如罗伯特·F·肯尼迪小儿就反对这些药物。 记者卡梅尔·克里明斯报道了感恩节前夕美国将公布大量经济数据,包括失业救济金申请、GDP数据和通胀数据。投资者将密切关注通胀数据,以判断美联储下个月是否会降息。

Shownotes Transcript

As a ceasefire between Israel and Iran-backed group Hezbollah in Lebanon takes effect, Palestinians in Gaza feel increasingly abandoned without a similar deal for a truce with Hamas. We look at how President-elect Donald Trump might use tariffs on its three top trading partners as an economic weapon in the fight against the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. And President Joe Biden has proposed expanding coverage of anti-obesity drugs - but how might that work under Trump’s choice for health secretary?
