Administration Launches

• 川普政府宣布啟動「經濟憤怒行動」（Operation Economic Fury），作為擴大制裁行動的一部分，對伊朗實施全面封鎖。 • 該倡議代表對伊朗經濟壓力的重大升級，標誌著美國外交政策轉向更強硬的措施。 • 此行動發生在中東更廣泛的地緣政治緊張局勢之中，此前美國與伊朗之間已持續數月的外交緊張。

• The Trump administration is using Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act to investigate foreign factory capacity and forced labor, aiming to offset $1.6 trillion in tariff revenue lost due to a Supreme Court ruling on February 20. • Public hearings are scheduled for May 5 on factory capacity and April 28 on forced labor, with the goal to complete probes before the current 10% import tariffs expire in 150 days. • Trump imposed a temporary 10% tariff on all imports post-ruling, plans to raise it to 15%, but faces challenges from two dozen states; remaining tariffs on China, Canada, steel, lumber, and cars expected to yield $668 billion over a decade.

The Trump administration announced the Genesis Mission on March 13, 2026, aiming to leverage AI and emerging technologies across energy, drug discovery, national security, and science in the US. Key ambitions include quantum computing advances, expanding the trained technical workforce, and delivering a new supercomputer blueprint by the end of 2026, with involvement from Dell CEO Michael Dell and Energy Department officials. This initiative ties AI policy to tangible outcomes like energy systems and defense, creating opportunities for startups in scientific AI and industrial software. Federal investments in compute and national labs are expected to boost US competitiveness against global rivals.
