(SeaPRwire) - 在许多行业，人工智能（AI）正被寄予厚望，承诺带来巨大的生产力提升，甚至可能使人类变得多余。但有一点是明确的：这项技术绝对让员工感到恐惧。今年夏天的一项调查发现，71%的受访者担心人工智能将导致太多人永久性失业。这些担忧反映了公司正在传达的信息：许多企业预计将因AI自动化任务而削减员工规模。 但现实情况更为复杂。公司确实在一些裁员中提及了AI，但迫在眉睫的“AI就业末日”似乎尚未到来。 在2025年美国公司宣布的120万裁员中——是的，几乎是2024年总数的两倍——仅有55,000人（占4.5%）的裁员原因被提及与AI相关。而在某些情况下，与AI的联系可能被夸大了：公司可能会含糊地指向AI的崛起，以此为由为出于其他原因的裁员辩护，或者在对AI效率提升的过早预期下进行裁员——这种做法有时被称为“AI粉饰”。与此同时，一项分析指出，关于AI搅乱就业市场的说法“在很大程度上仍是推测性的”。 事实上，今年迄今为止一些最大规模的裁员——荷兰半导体供应商ASML裁员1,700人，Amazon裁员14,000人——似乎并非直接源于AI自动化，而是源于一些乏味的商业基本面原因，比如在报告健康增长的公司中削减企业冗余。 这对员工来说并不特别令人安心。在ASML和Amazon等利润日益增长的公司中，这种“滴答、滴答、滴答”式的持续裁员，会破坏留任员工的士气，并加剧一种日益增长的感觉——无论是否因为AI，没有人的工作是安全的。 繁荣时期的裁员 ASML是AI竞赛中的突出赢家，作为在硅片上印制微小电路图案的光刻设备制造商，也是唯一能提供用于最先进芯片的尖端极紫外（EUV）系统的公司。去年，其总净销售额较前一年跃升了16%，毛利润也增长了19%。 然而，尽管其由AI推动的收益蓬勃发展，ASML在1月下旬宣布裁员1,700人，并解释道：“正如我们2025财年的财务业绩所展示的，我们选择在实力强劲的时刻做出这些改变。” ASML首席财务官Roger Dassen表示，裁员将削减冗余，减少多余且低效的管理层级。“我们希望确保工程师能重新专注于工程师的工作，”他补充道。 与此同时，Amazon从AI中获得的提振——其第四季度营收超出分析师预期，得益于其支持AI的AWS部门24%的营收增长——并不足以保住工作岗位免于被裁。1月下旬，Amazon在报告了强劲的季度业绩后，宣布了新一轮裁员。 CEO Andy Jassy在6月的一份备忘录中表示，Amazon预计将减少其企业员工总数，“因为我们在公司广泛使用AI获得了效率提升。” 后来，在Amazon进行了第一轮裁员后，他重申了这一观点。Amazon正在尽可能削减成本，因为它将大量资金投入到疯狂的AI数据中心基础设施建设中。在其财报电话会议上，公司表示预计今年的资本支出将超过2000亿美元，比去年增长60%，远高于华尔街的预期。（其股价因此应声下跌。） Glassdoor经济研究团队的首席研究员Chris Martin表示，这些通常健康的公司的裁员可能“有点像是几年前劳动力市场非常火爆时留下的后遗症，当时人才竞争激烈。”“所以你会听到这些公司说他们想要精简，或者移除官僚或管理层级，或者削减冗余。这些都是运营良好的公司，但它们决定通过减少一些人员来提升盈利能力。” 裁员对员工造成的伤害 当然，这种理由并不能缓解员工的不安感，因为它表明AI并非他们唯一需要担心的“工作杀手”。对于考虑削减薪资支出的企业领导者来说，这种不安值得牢记。Martin引用Glassdoor的研究指出，在财务状况稳健的公司进行裁员可能会让员工“措手不及”，并且对员工士气的损害与在困境中挣扎的公司裁员效果无异。 那种“滴答、滴答、滴答”式的裁员方式也会拖垮员工。Martin和他的团队在去年年底发现了一个趋势：即“永久性裁员”，或者说裁员“以永无止境的波浪形式到来，而不是一次海啸”。Amazon在10月重组后，于1月进行的裁员，对员工来说可能感觉像是“持续不断的精简和解雇鼓点”，Martin说——这很难说是营造愉快公司文化的良方。 “这对员工敬业度有复合影响，”他说，“因为你被第一轮裁员击倒，就在你刚刚重新站起来时，又来了另一波，员工真的很难从这种情况中恢复过来。” Amazon的人员体验与技术副总裁Beth Galetti似乎预见到了员工对连续裁员浪潮的担忧。“你们中的一些人可能会问，这是否是一种新节奏的开始——每隔几个月我们就宣布大规模裁员，”她说。“这不是我们的计划。” Amazon员工是否会相信这一说法，仍是一个悬而未决的问题。在识别“永久性裁员”趋势时，Glassdoor的研究还发现了另一个趋势，称为“员工与领导者的巨大鸿沟”：老板们日益增长的影响力使得员工“对领导者的言论和决策高度怀疑”。 澄清说明，2026年2月10日：本文已更新，以澄清Amazon CEO Andy Jassy关于公司裁员言论的时间点。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
月度归档： 2026 年 2 月
“我们接手了一个受损严重的品牌”：红龙虾餐厅首席执行官表示，为维持运营，这家海鲜连锁餐厅可能会关闭更多门店并削减菜品
(SeaPRwire) - 达莫拉·阿多莫莱昆（Damola Adamolekun）是红龙虾（Red Lobster）的千禧一代首席执行官，他正在为这家曾经陷入困境的海鲜连锁店规划一个前景更稳的未来：37岁的阿多莫莱昆表示，缩小餐厅规模和精简菜单将是公司成功的关键。 此前这家海鲜连锁店经历了数年挑战，申请破产并被迫关闭数十家餐厅以改善财务状况。但曾助力亚洲融合餐厅品牌“长富宫”（P.F. Chang’s）实现复苏的阿多莫莱昆并不惧怕挑战。 “我认为这可以成为餐饮行业历史上最伟大的一次东山再起，”他在2025年末接受播客节目采访时告诉露丝·乌莫（Ruth Umoh），“能领导这样的复苏将是一生难得的机遇。” 为了实现阿多莫莱昆所设想的转变，需要削减开支。这位首席执行官周二接受《华尔街日报》（The Wall Street Journal）采访时表示，公司正在评估其房地产布局和租约，以削减成本来挽救公司的财务状况。 “有很多积极的迹象，但我们接手的是一个受损严重的品牌，所以仍有许多修复工作要做，”阿多莫莱昆说。他所指的积极方面是红龙虾10月份的客流量，并且阿多莫莱昆告诉《华尔街日报》，销售额比去年增长了10%。 红龙虾的举措反映了美国休闲餐饮行业的一个更广泛趋势，像橄榄园（Olive Garden）、奇利斯（Chili’s）和苹果蜂（Applebee’s）等品牌都已精简菜单并优化运营。较小的规模和更简单的菜单有助于经营者应对更高的劳动力和海鲜成本，同时吸引更年轻、注重性价比的食客。 “到2025年，最成功的餐厅不会盲目追逐潮流，”酒店业咨询和科技公司巴梅特里克斯（Barmetrix）表示，“它们通过系统来解决问题——利用自动化、更合理的菜单、忠诚度策略以及符合顾客实际用餐需求的新模式。” 阿多莫莱昆的扭转局面努力已经帮助了红龙虾，但现在是进入改进阶段的时候了。 “有些人因为害怕失败而拒绝设定雄心勃勃的目标，”他在接受乌莫采访时说，“我不害怕。我不介意设定非常高的目标，也不介意去追求困难的事情。你要尽最大努力并争取胜利。” 达莫拉·阿多莫莱昆的扭转局面愿景 虽然阿多莫莱昆有信心扭转局面，但他承认接手的是一个受高成本和运营问题困扰的品牌。 与他为“长富宫”制定的复苏策略类似，阿多莫莱昆专注于打破红龙虾的低效状况。此前堡垒投资集团（Fortress Investment Group）进行了收购，并注入6000万美元用于菜单调整和餐厅翻新等振兴举措。在阿多莫莱昆的领导下，红龙虾的财务前景已经开始好转，到2026财年该连锁店有望实现210万美元的盈利，标志着从多年亏损实现了扭亏为盈。 他表示，这是最初促使红龙虾走向破产的众多因素之一。 他告诉《今日》（Today）节目，他绝不会恢复这个活动，“因为我会算账”。虽然20美元的无限量虾套餐在顾客中引起了不小的轰动，但据报道公司在运营上遭受了数百万美元的损失。 为了弥补这些损失，该连锁店必须通过仔细审查租约和优化运营来降低成本，这可能意味着会有更多门店关闭。目前，这家连锁餐厅经营着约550家门店，比几年前的700家有所减少。据《华尔街日报》报道，公司还解雇了一些门店经理和大约10%的公司员工。 除了裁员和削减成本，阿多莫莱昆还计划通过改善餐厅氛围、更新菜单和改造餐厅来给红龙虾进行一次升级。他还表示，他希望为面临支付能力危机的顾客降低价格。 “我们应该为最好的龙虾提供最划算的交易，因为我们确实有最好的产品，”阿多莫莱昆告诉《今日》节目。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
冯德莱恩被曝搁置组建个人欧盟间谍单位计划 – Politico
(SeaPRwire) - 据报道，欧盟委员会主席正面临内部压力，外界担忧她正在集中权力 据Politico周一报道，在遭遇重大内部阻力后，欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩据称正在弱化其推动设立一个由其直接控制的间谍单位的努力。此举是在与欧盟外交政策负责人卡娅·卡拉斯长期僵持之后发生的，并且据报道，外界对冯德莱恩权力集中的警惕性日益增长。 在欧盟委员会内部设立一个专门情报单位的计划于去年11月首次宣布，并被描述为保护欧盟免受据称来自俄罗斯的混合威胁的一项努力。该单位原定在整个欧盟集团内运作，并直接向欧盟委员会主席汇报。 然而，四名官员告诉POLITICO，冯德莱恩正在缩减这项计划，该单位现在很可能被降级为一个安全部门。这将使大部分情报共享工作留给已有的欧盟对外行动署情报中心（INTCEN），该中心由卡拉斯监督。 法国《世界报》写道，这一退让发生在这两位高级官员之间一场激烈的官僚竞争之中，这场竞争“堪比《权力的游戏》”。据称，在冯德莱恩阻止了卡拉斯任命一名关键盟友担任高级职位的尝试后，卡拉斯曾私下抱怨冯德莱恩的“独裁者”风格。 冯德莱恩的领导能力一直面临日益增多的批评，批评者指责她集中权力、缺乏透明度以及绕过成员国。前欧盟委员尼古拉·施密特表示，在她“高度集权”的体制下，委员们“基本上被噤声了”。 尽管她的不受欢迎程度与日俱增，但她已在欧洲议会多次不信任投票中过关，反对派在这些投票中指责她缺乏问责制并将数十亿资金投入军事化。 她的任期也受到重大腐败丑闻的困扰，其中包括“辉瑞门”事件——根据欧盟法院的裁决，她非法删除了有关与美国制药巨头辉瑞进行新冠疫苗“后门交易”的短信。 莫斯科也多次批评这位欧盟委员会主席，她一直是主张对抗俄罗斯和武装乌克兰的直言不讳的倡导者。 俄罗斯官员猛烈抨击她推动将欧盟变成一个“军事强国”以对抗所谓的“俄罗斯威胁”——莫斯科嘲笑这一政策是毫无根据的危言耸听。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
北京警告台湾部署ATACMS想法将招致“毁灭性打击”
(SeaPRwire) - 一位军方发言人表示，使用美国制造的武器发动打击将引发压倒性回应 北京方面警告称，台湾任何试图使用美国提供的导弹系统对大陆发动先发制人打击的势力都将面临"毁灭"。 此番威胁源于媒体报道称，这个自治的中国岛屿的管理机构正考虑在比台湾本岛更靠近大陆的离岛上部署配备ATACMS战术弹道导弹的HIMARS发射器。 周二，中国军方发言人江斌批评了前沿部署的想法，并表示关于此类系统被用来攻击中国的猜测"日益荒谬和过度自信"。他说，这些观念是由鼓吹台湾正式独立的分子散布的，并警告他们可能挑起战争，一旦冲突爆发，将"遭受必然的毁灭"。 根据美国政府去年12月宣布的一项价值111亿美元的军售计划，台北方面已订购82套M142 HIMARS系统和420枚ATACMS弹药。该弹道导弹射程为300公里，这意味着将其部署到澎湖和东引岛将使其能够瞄准大片沿海地区。去年12月底中国媒体报道在台湾附近举行的一次海军演习时，强调了HIMARS系统构成的潜在威胁。 台湾事实上的自治地位源于其作为1940年代中国内战中失败的民族主义势力最后避难所的地位。北京寻求和平统一，但警告台北方面任何走向正式宣布独立的举动都将面临军事力量的回应。 中国官员认为美国对台军售是两岸关系中的不稳定因素，认为这会鼓励支持独立的派别从事日益危险的行为。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
NFL”跪地抗议”风波十年后，科林·卡佩尼克寄语Z世代：别让对抵制的恐惧扼杀你的声音
(SeaPRwire) - 科林·卡佩尼克以其运动能力和行动主义而闻名。这位旧金山49人队前四分卫在2016年通过在美国国歌演奏期间单膝跪地，发声反对种族不公和警察暴力。当时，这一举动引发了巨大的赞扬和强烈的反弹。卡佩尼克被称为反警察者，被一名联盟高管贴上“叛徒”的标签，并收到了无数死亡威胁。他成为了（某运动）的代表人物，这驱使一些消费者发起#（抵制）并焚烧其产品。十年过去了，卡佩尼克自此再未被任何NFL球队签下。但他已重返商界。这一次，他是自己新创业公司Lumi的首席执行官——这是一家旨在帮助Alpha世代和Z世代找到自己的声音、书写自己故事的人工智能素养初创公司。他对于说出真相的力量毫不避讳。如果他能回到过去，卡佩尼克会给年轻时的自己一条建议：不要让对反弹的恐惧使你沉默。在多哈网络峰会上接受《财富》杂志的奥里安娜·罗莎·罗伊尔舞台采访时，卡佩尼克谈到，在早期，人们很容易过度编辑自己想说的话，因为你试图“不伤害别人的感情……但那实际上并不是你想说的话。” 他告诫说，求稳很少能留下印记。 “当你忠于自己时，人们会更好地与你产生共鸣。他们能感受到这种真实性，”卡佩尼克补充道。“在这个过程中，你也必须保持脆弱。” 他继续说道：“这不一定总是完美的画面，但由此产生的是更牢固的关系、更好的共鸣感，而且人们往往也开始在他们那一端敞开心扉。” 归根结底，说出真相比说出感觉安全的话更重要。卡佩尼克表示，选择忠于自己只会加深信任、联系和影响力。 科林·卡佩尼克关于找到自己声音的首要建议？忠于自己 Lumi是卡佩尼克先前社会正义工作的自然延续。这位从运动员转型的行动家已经撰写了几本书，并创立了Kaepernick Publishing，所有工作都专注于放大边缘化声音的故事。 他的新企业将这一使命数字化，并直接带入课堂。Lumi成立于2024年，获得了由Reddit联合创始人亚历克西斯·奥哈尼安的风险投资公司Seven Seven Six领投的400万美元种子资金，它帮助年轻人创作自己的漫画或图像小说。截至2026年初，该项目正在一些学校试点，包括纳什维尔都会公立学校和马里兰州的乔治王子县公立学校。 其影响已经可见。“我们一次又一次地看到学生们敞开心扉，他们以同学和老师都不知道的方式敞开心扉，这正在他们紧密的社区内建立更牢固的联系。 “我们有学生讲述关于欺凌以及如何应对的故事。实际上，我们有一名学生讲述了他兄弟自杀的故事，这些都是他们以前从未分享或敞开心扉谈论的故事，他们只是将所有这些都内化了。” 他给学生们关于找到自己声音的建议是什么？“忠于它，”卡佩尼克说。 “就我自己的故事以及我们从学生那里看到的故事而言，我所思考的是，他们对自己真实和真诚。” 科林·卡佩尼克从NFL赛场带入其最新企业Lumi的经验 卡佩尼克在其职业生涯新篇章中所倚重的，不仅仅是他公开发声的经验。从领导力的角度来看，他表示担任CEO和创始人之间“有很多交叉点”，并且他之前在球场上的经验也相关。 “我想说，最重要的一点是，当你考虑领导一个团队或领导一个组织时，就是要确保有合适的人与你同行，”他在舞台上告诉《财富》杂志。 “我们在NFL中看得很清楚，你可以有一个伟大的比赛计划，但如果你没有合适的球员在正确的位置上，那个比赛计划就行不通，”他继续说道。“我们看到这对公司也同样适用。” 像教练一样，卡佩尼克坚称他花了“大量”时间确保Lumi有“合适的人”在“合适的职位”上。 “这需要更多时间。需要更多工作，”卡佩尼克说。“但当你拥有合适的人时，他们也会帮助你在正确的时间解决正确的问题，最终引领公司走向成功。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
Target的新任CEO在首次重大人事变动中，刚刚将其高管团队中的资深成员调整离岗
(SeaPRwire) - 首席执行官迈克尔·菲德尔克（Michael Fiddelke）在接任这家运营陷入困境的零售商的最高职位后不久，正在重组其领导团队并做出其他调整。 里克·戈麦斯（Rick Gomez）是Target的23年老员工，负责管理该连锁店庞大的商品库存，他将离开公司。而吉尔·桑多（Jill Sando）自1997年以来一直在该公司工作，担任首席商品官，负责服装和家居等多个品类，她将退休。 该公司周二表示，负责食品、必需品和化妆品业务的丽莎·罗思（Lisa Roath）将接任菲德尔克之前的首席运营官职位。曾担任首席宾客体验官的卡拉·西尔维斯特（Cara Sylvester）将成为公司的首席商品官。 菲德尔克表示，这些变动将使Target能够更快地行动。 “这是Target新篇章的开始，我们正在迅速采取行动，针对那些将推动业务增长的优先事项采取措施，”菲德尔克在一份声明中说。 戈麦斯和桑多将在公司短暂留任以协助过渡，但这些变动将于周日生效。 同样在周二，该公司重申了其利润指引。根据Target向《美联社》（The Associated Press）提供的一份员工备忘录，该公司还将增加门店员工的投资，同时在配送中心和区域办事处裁减约500个职位。 这是菲德尔克上任后的首次重大变动，他是该公司20年的老员工，本月接替布莱恩·康奈尔（Brian Cornell）出任CEO。该公司选择内部人士的决定令许多行业分析师感到意外，他们认为该公司在试图重振销售时需要新的思路。 随着许多美国人削减开支，Target一直难以站稳脚跟。顾客还抱怨商店杂乱无章，失去了很久以前为该零售商赢得“Tarzhay”昵称的那种（此处原文缺失内容）。 该公司在缩减其（此处原文缺失内容）后，还受到了消费者抵制和反弹的冲击。 该公司还因一些批评者认为其对唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统在其家乡明尼阿波利斯采取的激进移民执法策略反应不足而面临抗议，上月两名美国公民在那里被联邦特工开枪打死。 本月联邦特工拘留了该公司两名员工后，Target尚未公开置评——不过菲德尔克向公司40万名员工发送了一条视频信息，称近期的暴力事件“令人极度痛苦”。 菲德尔克是（此处原文缺失内容），他在1月份签署了一封公开信，呼吁州、地方和联邦官员在致命枪击事件后寻找解决方案。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
美国与孟加拉国达成贸易协议
(SeaPRwire) - 除了对大多数出口商品降低关税外，这个南亚国家用美国棉花制造的服装将获得关税豁免 美国和孟加拉国达成了一项贸易协议，允许降低这个南亚国家大多数出口商品的关税。 据报道，该协议规定对美出口的关税税率为19%，比8月设定的20%低1个百分点。 临时政府首席顾问穆罕默德·尤努斯（Muhammad Yunus）在X平台的一篇帖子中表示，美国已承诺建立一种机制，让孟加拉国使用美国生产的棉花和人造纤维制造的某些纺织品和服装在美国市场获得零关税待遇。 邻国印度本月早些时候与美国达成的协议规定了18%的税率，但没有针对服装出口的类似优惠。 根据白宫的一份文件，达卡将为美国工业产品、农产品以及美国农场和食品产品提供优惠市场准入。 孟加拉国还将把家禽、猪肉、海鲜、大米、玉米和谷物的关税降至零。包括杏仁在内的一些美国产品的关税将在5至10年内降至零。 孟加拉航空（Bangladesh Airlines）将购买14架波音（Boeing）飞机，而达卡还将购买数量未明的美国军事装备。 据报道，该协议距孟加拉国全国大选仅四天，已招致多方批评。 孟加拉国是仅次于中国的世界第二大服装出口国。该国的服装出口被广泛视为其经济的风向标，过去两年来一直在下降。 成衣行业占达卡出口收入的80%以上。该行业雇佣了400万名工人，对国内生产总值的贡献接近10%。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti Exploration Expands and Upgrades Nevertire with Drilling Recommenced
Melbourne, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - February 10, 2026) - Copper-gold explorer and hybrid prospect generator Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) (Kincora or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on strong initial results and an acceleration of exploration activities following completion of the Phase 1 drilling program at the Nevertire and Nevertire-South projects. The programs are being conducted under earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (AngloGold Ashanti).Phase 1 drilling has upgraded the immediate target zone and reaffirmed Kincora's view that the Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC) represents the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project within the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc. Drilling has now recommenced to follow up high-priority targets advanced during the second half of 2025.In parallel, exploration activities have expanded to materially increase the search space to the south of the NMC. New geophysical surveys and a review of prior explorer drilling are underway to systematically evaluate and advance a prospective strike length exceeding 40km across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses.HIGHLIGHTSExtensive porphyry complex with multiple discovery potential confirmed: Phase 1 drilling (8-holes for 3385.2 metres, completed in 2H'2025) validated the presence of a large, highly prospective composite volcanic-intrusive complex across a greater than 5.4km strike at the Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC). Drilling intesected porphyry related lithologies, alteration, and vein hosted and disseminated copper, gold and pathfinder mineralisation.Targets upgraded; follow-up drilling underway: Phase 1 successfully upgraded the immediate target zone (open in all directions) and generated strong vectors for follow-up drilling. Copper and gold grades suggest increasing proximity to one or more porphyry system centre(s) (Figure 5). High-priority infill and step-out drilling has recommenced to further refine vectoring patterns and test multiple potential porphyry centres.Scale increased to province-scale: Phase 1 results combined with a review of prior explorer drilling support a greater than six-fold increase in the prospective strike length across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses. An initial ~110km² gravity surveying has been completed as part of a planned ~400km² program. The results, together with historical core resampling, are expected to refine step-out and scout drilling targets across multiple newly interpreted Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes.Expanded scout drilling planned at Nyngan: Planning and permitting are underway to expand scout drilling at two targets at the Nyngan license along with a potential first-ever hole at the adjacent Nyngan South license.Strong partnership and commercial alignment: The Nyngan, Nyngan South, Nevertire South and Nevertire projects form part of two earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti, which has the right to invest up to A$100-million across a total of five projects covering a continuous strike greater than 100km within Kincora's Northern Junee-Narromine Belt (NJNB) portfolio. Kincora currently manages the programs and receives a 10% management fee on expenditures.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, said:"Initial results have been very positive, validating Newcrest's prior analogues to the Cadia-Ridgeway and the Goonumbla (Northparkes) porphyry deposits and reaffirmed our view that the Nevertire Magmatic Complex is the most advanced and prospective porphyry project in the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc. As a result, activities have been expanded to both follow up immediate high priority targets with drilling but also systematically advance a province-scale pipeline across a greater than 40km strike. Phase 1 drilling included large step-out holes from two previously favourable Newcrest intercepts and successfully upgraded the immediate target zone. We are very excited to have recommenced drilling, as the results indicate a new, large-scale mineralised system with the geological characteristics required for multiple discoveries.Additional scale is also emerging to the south. A review of prior explorer drilling and a ground gravity survey completed in late 2025 have highlighted significant southern extension potential, where favourable basement intersections, anomalous results, and untested magnetic and gravity anomalies remain open for drill testing.Separately, planning continues to support further scout drilling at the Nyngan and potentially Nyngan South projects. With a portfolio exceeding 2,350km² and a strong partnership with AngloGold Ashanti, Kincora is well positioned to systematically advance this unique, province-scale opportunity, offering substantial leverage to shareholders."NEVERTIRE AND NEVERTIRE SOUTH PROJECTSTarget specific drilling Following the April 2025 amended and second earn-in agreement with AngloGold Ashanti 1, a first phase drilling program commenced at both the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses in 2H'2025. The program benefitied from unimpeded access across the consolidated ~8 x 12km Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC) and was designed to follow up two prior favourable drill results reported by Newcrest Mining and the most northern drilled holes at the NMC.Newcrest holes ACDNY005 and ACDNY006 were drilled ~2.7km apart, in the central portion of the NMC, and returned "lithologies, alteration and veining consistent with a setting similar to the Cadia-Ridgeway and Goonumbla (Northparkes) porphyry Cu-Au deposits" 2. Kincora's relogging of these holes, led by technical director John Holliday, supported this interpretation.The Phase 1 program included large scale step-out drilling and was designed to identify and define vectoring patterns toward potential porphyry centres. This program was very encouraging in providing strong vectors, upgrading the immediate target zone, supporting Newcrest's previous interpretation and reaffirming the Company's view that the NMC is the most geologically prospective porphyry project in the northern covered extensions of the Macquarie Arc.The 8 hole program, totalling 3385.2 metres, utilised cost-effective mud-rotary drilling through the relatively soft post mineral cover sequence, followed by NQ3 diamond core drilling of the porphyry-prospective basement. All holes intersected basement. Drilling to date has intersected the NMC at shallow to moderate depths, with basement mostly at ~70m (in the south-west) to a 250m depth.Step-out drilling across a greater than 4km of strike intersected multiple porphyritic intrusive phases beneath a moderate thickness of post-mineral cover - see Figures 4-5 and Tables 1-4. Lithologies intersected include monzonite, diorite, dacite, and crowded pyroxene-hornblende andesites - see selected core photographs in Figure 6. Favourable alteration and porphyry-style veining were observed, with copper, gold and pathfinder element geochemistry providing vectors for high-priority follow-up drilling, including copper grades suggestive of increasing proximity to a porphyry system centre(s) (see Figure 5).High priority infill and further step-out drilling has recommenced to discover and refine vectoring patterns toward prospective porphyry centres.Larger scale new target and intrusive complex generation As previously announced, following encouraging initial visual observations, follow-up geophysical surveys commenced in 2H'2025, together with a review of prior explorer drilling results and ground gravity survey data 3.These activities have resulted in a material increase in the prospective search space across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses, supporting a total prospective strike of greater than 40km N-S, representing a greater than 6x increase relative to the initial Phase 1 drill strike extent - see Figure 3.A gravity survey covering ~110km2 has been completed and is currently being intergrated with legacy gravity data-sets, totalling ~148km2, acquired by prior explorers. These historical surveys were variable in coverage density and spatial distribution, reflecting piecemeal target-specific objectives. When combined with the new systematic gravity coverage, the dataset is expected to support a more coherent district-scale interpretation, with a further ~290km² of gravity surveying planned in 2026.Prior explorer drilling across the southern extensions of the NMC includes 23 diamond holes totalling 7,383.7 metres, with some drillcore hosted in the publicly accessible Londonderry core library at the NSW Government's WB Clarke Geoscience Centre. Numerous historical drillholes in the Nevertire South priority area and adjacent southern targets were only partially sampled or analysed for a limited element suite, and most critical porphyry pathfinder elements were not consistently assayed.As a result, multiple historical drillholes intersecting basement, coincident with favourable magnetic and/or gravity anomalies and returning anomalous geochemical results, were not advanced beyond initial testing. Many of these intersections are now recognised to be spatially associated with interpreted Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes that remain open and untested.Resampling, re-logging and modern analytical work on high-priority historical drillholes, together with new geophysical data, is planned and is expected to expand and systematically advance the exploration pipeline, refine further step-out and scout drilling targets, and support evaluation of multiple potential new Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes.Figure 1: Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti have partnered to explore new district-scale undercover extensions of the world-class Macquarie Arc in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt via two earn-in and joint venture agreements, currently aggressively drilling large greenfield targets Kincora has a portfolio of eight active projects, including managing two earn-in programs with AngloGold Ashanti, receiving a 10% management fee on expenditures, and covering a continuous 100km strike across 5 adjacent licenses (see References footnote 7 for source data for disclosed inventory/metal endowment)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/283322_9d387295a4fb3b48_001full.jpgFigure 2: Positive results have supported an acceleration of exploration activities, with step-out and infill drilling recommenced at the Nevertire South license, wider exploration planned to the south, and planning underway for recommencing drilling at multiple targets within the the Nyngan license, and potentially a maiden scout hole in the Nyngan South license To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/283322_9d387295a4fb3b48_002full.jpgFigure 3: Phase 1 drilling results reaffirm Kincora's view that the NMC is the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project in the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc, with the southern strike highlighting new province-scale potential A gravity survey covering >100 km² has been completed within a planned total survey area of >400 km². This work, together with resampling of historical drill core, is expected to refine step-out and scout drilling targets and support evaluation of multiple potentially new Macquarie Arc intrusive complex targets.

The district has seen considerable exploration success, including two greater than 10Moz gold equivalent discoveries/resource expansions 7 and an emerging gold discovery by Waratah Resources at the Spur project 8 and LinQ Minerals at the southern zone of the Gilmore project 9.Despite regional magnetics effectively mapping the Macquarie Arc volcanic belts, due to the post mineral cover, there has been very limited prior drilling of the extensions of both the Junee-Narromine and Molong volcanic belts relative to the southern more outcropping sections which hosts a number of world-class deposits and mines (e.g. Cadia, Cowal and Northparkes).Kincora's portfolio and the wider NJNB offers new district-scale discovery potential with spatial and temporal settings, coupled with magnetics, gravity and new Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) surveys, supportive of large-scale targets analogous to porphyry deposits located in the southern section of the Arc.AngloGold Ashanti has secured Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreements with both Kincora and Inflection Resources (AUCU.CSE) ("Inflection", market capitalisation C$31.3 million) within the NJNB with over A$20 million investment to date 10. In 2Q'2025, AngloGold Ashanti moved to Phase II of its earn-in agreement with Inflection designating a total of four projects to continue earning into (including two projects adjacent to Kincora's Nyngan project) 11 and signed a major amendment with Kincora to include a second joint venture supporting a continuous strike greater than a 100kms and five projects.The most recent notable example of a new globally significant emerging porphyry district is the Vicuña district, which is also an extension of a renowned world-class porphyry belt. Vicuña is an extension of the central Andean belts in Argentina on the border of Chile and situated at over 4000m altitude.Within this district NGEx Resources Inc in 2009 held three early-stage exploration projects and at the time had a market capitalisation of approximately C$40 million 12. These same projects are all still at a pre-development phase but have yielded in four large-scale discoveries valued at over A$11 billion 13.Kincora was an early mover into the NJNB and has opportunistically pegged strategically important ground directly from the State resulting in a district scale portfolio of the interpreted most prospective and shallow to moderate covered part of the northwards extension of the Macquarie Arc under post mineral cover. This portfolio now covers a strike twice the length of the Vicuña district and is included in earn-in and agreements with AngloGold Ashanti.ABOUT KINCORAKincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) is an emerging Australia-focused copper-gold explorer with a hybrid prospect generator strategy. The Company is now successfully proving up the prospectivity of its extensive project portfolio, which includes multiple district-scale landholdings and scalable drill ready targets. These assets are located in Australia's Macquarie Arc and Mongolia's Southern Gobi, two of the globe's leading porphyry belts, and the historical Condobolin mining field within the Cobar Basin in NSW.Kincora is using an asset level partner model to develop and implement exploration strategies for its wholly-owned large-scale exploration stage porphyry projects. The Company has already unlocked over $100 million of potential partner funding for multiple earlier stage and/or non-core porphyry projects 13. These initial deals have supported over 16,000 metres of drilling and over A$7m of partner funded exploration since late 2024 until September 30, 2025, with management fees and exploration ramping up 14.Partner discussions are ongoing for its remaining 100% owned flagship projects that are all situated within existing porphyry camps containing over 20-million-ounce gold equivalent resource inventory.Kincora's ambition is to be the operator for exploration budgets of over $10 million per annum for the porphyry portfolio providing sufficient project management fees for the Company to be self-funding (covering corporate costs and maintenance of remaining wholly owned projects) and have partnerships with a diversified portfolio of industry leading producers/explorers. This is in addition to the various other existing partnerships where Kincora is not the operator or receiving a management fee income stream.The Company has assembled an industry leading technical team who have made multiple world-class copper and gold discoveries, who have "skin in the game" equity ownership, and, backed by a consolidated and sophisticated shareholder register. In Septmber 2025, Kincora closed an oversubscribed C$4 million non-brokered private placement of units led by leading North American investors, including Rick Rule and Jeff Phillips, and their investor networks.The share units have a 12-month hold period and there is an accelerator on the warrants - both at the lead investors requests. This raising is concurrent with a corporate restructuring and share capital roll back with only 43-million shares outstanding and over 60% of the register held by reporting insiders and/or in 12-month hold stock.The roll back and placement terms provides Kincora the corporate structure to leverage the deals, partner funding and project results already in place and to unlock significant existing value. This is starting to be realized.The new capital provides the ability to accelerate more drilling, do more asset level deals, earn more management fees, and, ultimately, supporting the ambition of more (big) new discoveries. These multiple avenues all provide further material value catalysts for shareholders.The financing also supports Kincora pursuing a hybrid project generator model and undertaking drilling at our 100% owned Condobolin project. The Condobolin project hosts a historical mining field located within the Cobar Basin and within trucking distance to an existing mill seeking third party ore. The Cobar Basin has recently seen a number of significant new discoveries (eg Federation, Achilles, Mallee Bull, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank) and significant corporate activity (eg Harmony's A$1.6 billion takeover of MAC, Kingston Resources receiving A$50 million cash for the first tranche of its divestment of its Misima project etc). The project and regional profiles' support the Condobolin project being an asset that a junior explorer such as Kincora can add significant value too.By having a significant portfolio of partner funded large porphyry projects, and a very focused program on a 100% owned project, the Company is seeking to position Kincora as a leading institutional grade explorer in the public Australian and Canadian markets, and the leading project generator on the ASX.To learn more, please visit: www.kincoracopper.comThis announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Kincora Copper Limited (ARBN 645 457 763)For further information please contact:Sam Spring, President and Chief Executive Officersam.spring@kincoracopper.com or +61431 329 345Laurie Thomas, Strategic Advisorlaurie.thomas@kincoracopper.com or +1306 341 3826Media contactJulia Maguire, Managing Director, The Capital Networkjulia@thecapitalnetwork.com.au or +61 2 7257 7338Executive office400 - 837 West Hastings StreetVancouver, BC V6C 3N6, CanadaTel: 1.604.283.1722Subsidiary office AustraliaC/- JM Corporate ServicesLevel 6, 350 Collins StreetMelbourne, VIC, Australia 3000 Qualified PersonThe scientific and technical information in this announcement was prepared in accordance with the standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum and National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and was reviewed, verified and compiled by Kincora's staff under the supervision of Peter Leaman (M.Sc.

KS Energy and Hitachi Collaborate on Extra-High Voltage Battery Energy Storage System
TOKYO, Feb 10, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - KS Energy Co., Ltd. ("KS Energy"), a renewable energy business company and Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE:6501, “Hitachi”) agreed on February 6 to collaborate on the development and operation of an Extra-High Voltage Grid Battery Energy Storage System*1 within Kumamoto Prefecture, as well as the development and operation of power trading businesses. Hitachi will provide project development support for KS Energy's development of the project and jointly promote the development and operation of this battery energy storage system (tentative name)*2 . Additionally, KS Energy will also explore the introduction of a power trading support system planned for development by Hitachi.This initiative will support stable power supply in the Kyushu region and contribute to achieving carbon neutrality.*1 Extra-High Voltage Grid Battery Energy Storage System: Large-scale battery storage facilities directly connected to the power grid (such as transmission lines) with a capacity of 2,000 kW or more.*2 Power Trading Support System: A power trading support system for operators managing large-scale grid-connected storage batteries. It supports traders' daily operations comprehensively—from bid planning and market transactions to submitting plans to OCCTO—across both the supply-demand adjustment market and the wholesale electricity market. System development also incorporates collaboration with other companies, such as bid plan optimization services. This contributes to improved profitability through trading based on optimal bid plans and streamlines routine daily tasks like plan submission.BackgroundRenewable energy generation fluctuates due to weather changes and other factors, significantly impacting the power supply-demand balance. Particularly in the Kyushu region, where renewable energy adoption is advancing, output curtailment occurs frequently when generation exceeds demand. Securing balancing power to stabilize the power grid is an urgent priority. Furthermore, as the policy framework for promoting renewable energy shifts from the FIT (Feed-in Tariff) system to the FIP (Feed-in Premium) system, power generators are now required to develop their own electricity trading capabilities to formulate strategies for selling electricity in the power market. Against this backdrop, the importance of "aggregators" – entities that consolidate and control energy resources to adjust supply-demand balance – is growing. They are expected to contribute to the effective utilization and stable supply of renewable energy by engaging in both the electricity market and the power trading market.To address this situation, KS Energy, established in January 2024 with full investment from Higo Bank, Ltd. (part of the Kyushu Financial Group), has adopted a policy to contribute to stabilizing power supply as a regional energy company, aiming to make the entire Kyushu region a leading area for renewable energy circulation. Meanwhile, Hitachi has a long history in the power sector, providing a wide range of advanced solutions from energy storage systems to transmission and distribution infrastructure and grid protection devices.Through this collaborative effort, both companies will combine their respective strengths. By developing and operating energy storage facilities and engaging in power trading, they aim to achieve carbon neutrality in the Kyushu region.Initiative DetailsKS Energy and Hitachi have decided to jointly develop and operate battery energy storage system in the Kyushu region. This initiative contributes to stabilizing local power supply by charging and discharging in response to electricity demand-supply balance, thereby providing balancing power.1. Nation's First Extra-High Voltage Battery Energy Storage System project launched by a regional bank group This marks the first instance nationwide of a bank subsidiary's renewable energy business company undertaking a grid energy battery business in the extra-high voltage range. Through this initiative, we aim to contribute to stable power supply. Additionally, KS Energy is considering managing the power trading for the storage facility in-house. The plan involves handling the entire operational process: forecasting electricity market prices, creating power generation (charging/discharging) plans for the batteries, controlling the storage facility, and monetizing through market transactions. In the future, leveraging its operational expertise in storage facilities and collaborating with Higo Bank, KS Energy will enhance support for power generators and provide financing support to storage facility developers. This will enable the delivery of services extending beyond the financial sector, promote efficient electricity usage within local communities, and contribute to achieving regional carbon neutrality and decarbonization.2. Joint Promotion of Project Development from the Early Stage Leveraging Hitachi’s extensive experience in battery energy storage systems, Hitachi and KS Energy will jointly promote the development of energy storage facilities. The Hitachi Group will work together to promote project development through to operational launch. This includes cooperation from grid connection application discussions with transmission and distribution operators to applications and procedures with relevant ministries and agencies, provision of business feasibility evaluation information, supply of Hitachi Energy-manufactured PCS, and project management covering equipment design, procurement, and installation. Hitachi will sustainably support KS Energy's stable operations of the storage facility.3. Collaboration in Power Trading Business To stably utilize rapidly expanding renewable energy, the need for aggregation functions that balance electricity supply and demand is growing. KS Energy is considering introducing Hitachi's planned power trading support systemto achieve efficient energy resource utilization and aim for stable power supply. Under Hitachi's Lumada 3.0 initiative, the company is deploying "HMAX by Hitachi" (hereinafter HMAX), a next-generation AI solution suite that tackles the most complex challenges facing social infrastructure. This is achieved by combining vast data from both physical and digital assets with advanced AI enhanced by Hitachi's unique deep domain knowledge. In the electric power trading area as well, Hitachi will realize services that optimize the operation of storage battery assets and maximize market value, and aim to deploy them as HMAX.Future DevelopmentsKS Energy and Hitachi will collaborate to achieve both the mainstreaming of renewable energy as a primary power source and stable supply through the development of battery energy storage system and enhanced aggregation functions, working together toward realizing regional carbon neutrality.Overview of Grid-Connected Storage FacilityStorage Facility Name : (Provisional name) KSE Kumamoto Battery Energy Storage SystemStorage Facility Location (Planned) : Within Kumamoto PrefectureRated Output/Rated Capacity (Planned) : 50,000 kW / 112,880 kWhScheduled Start of Operation : January 2029 Copyright 2026 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

It is a humanized immunoglobulin gamma (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against aggregated soluble (protofibril) and insoluble forms of amyloid-beta (Aβ). Lecanemab has been approved in 53 countries and regions including Japan, the United States, China, Europe, South Korea, Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia, and is under regulatory review in 6 countries. Following the initial phase with treatment every two weeks for 18 months, intravenous (IV) maintenance dosing with treatment every four weeks was approved in 7 countries including the U.S., China, the UK, and others, and applications have been filed in 7 countries and regions. The U.S. FDA approved Eisai’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for subcutaneous maintenance dosing with LEQEMBI IQLIK in August 2025. A Supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for initiation treatment was accepted in January 2026. The sBLA has been granted Priority Review, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of May 24, 2026. In November 2025, an application for a subcutaneous injectable formulation in Japan was submitted. In January 2026, the Biologics License Application (BLA) for the subcutaneous formulation was accepted in China. In December 2025, Lecanemab (IV) has been included in the “Commercial Insurance Innovative Drug List”, recently introduced by the National Healthcare Security Administration (NHSA) of China. Since July 2020 the Phase 3 clinical study (AHEAD 3-45) for individuals with preclinical AD, meaning they are clinically normal and have intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brains, is ongoing. AHEAD 3-45 is conducted as a public-private partnership between the Alzheimer's Clinical Trial Consortium that provides the infrastructure for academic clinical trials in AD and related dementias in the U.S, funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, Eisai and Biogen. Since January 2022, the Tau NexGen clinical study for Dominantly Inherited AD (DIAD), that is conducted by Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU), led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is ongoing and includes lecanemab as the backbone anti-amyloid therapy.About ProtofibrilProtofibrils are believed to contribute to the brain injury that occurs with AD and are considered to be the most toxic form of soluble Aβ, having a primary role in the cognitive decline associated with this progressive, debilitating condition.1 Protofibrils cause injury to neurons in the brain, which in turn, can negatively impact cognitive function via multiple mechanisms, not only increasing the development of insoluble Aβ plaques but also increasing direct damage to brain cell membranes and the connections that transmit signals between nerve cells or nerve cells and other cells. It is believed the reduction of protofibrils may prevent the progression of AD by reducing damage to neurons in the brain and cognitive dysfunction.2About the Collaboration between Eisai and Biogen for ADEisai and Biogen have been collaborating on the joint development and commercialization of AD treatments since 2014. Eisai serves as the lead of lecanemab development and regulatory submissions globally with both companies co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.About the Collaboration between Eisai and BioArctic for ADSince 2005, Eisai and BioArctic have had a long-term collaboration regarding the development and commercialization of AD treatments.

特朗普威胁封锁通往加拿大的桥梁
(SeaPRwire) - 美国总统要求拥有安大略省和密歇根州之间过境点“至少一半”的所有权 唐纳德·特朗普总统威胁要阻止一座连接加拿大和美国的重要新桥开通，除非华盛顿获得补偿并在该项目中获得部分所有权。 周一，特朗普在他的Truth Social平台上发表了一篇长篇帖子，他表示，在美方得到“充分补偿”以及加拿大以他所说的“公平和尊重”对待美国之前，他不会允许连接安大略省温莎市和密歇根州底特律市的戈尔迪·豪国际大桥（Gordie Howe International Bridge）开通。 “考虑到我们给予他们的一切，也许我们至少应该拥有这项资产的一半。由于美国市场产生的收入将是巨大的，”他写道。 特朗普指责加拿大从该项目中获得了不成比例的利益，称这座桥“几乎没有美国元素”建成，并声称前总统巴拉克·奥巴马签发的一项豁免令让加拿大得以绕过“购买美国货”的要求。他还再次提及长期以来对加拿大乳制品关税、各省对美国酒类销售的限制以及渥太华与中国接触的不满。 特朗普在其第一个任期内 这座桥，称其为“重要的经济纽带”，尽管大使桥（Ambassador Bridge）的所有者长期以来一直反对该项目并进行了游说。 这一新的威胁正值美加关系出现更广泛的紧张局势之际。最近几周，特朗普还警告将对加拿大制造的飞机征收高额关税，并表示如果渥太华加深与北京的贸易关系，将采取惩罚性措施。 加拿大总理马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）驳斥了加拿大正在与中国寻求自由贸易协定的说法，并敦促华盛顿尊重加拿大的主权。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
