美联储主席沃什：没有人希望美联储的资产负债表变得更小。

NATO secretary-general Rutte said ahead of the summit that Europe and Canada have placed about $300bn of orders for U.S. weapons, supporting roughly 195,000 U.S. defense jobs. He said the orders will be fulfilled over the coming years and described the buying surge as both a modernization of long-neglected European forces and support for Ukraine. Rutte urged transatlantic arms manufacturers to use the roughly $250bn increase in European and Canadian defence spending over the past two years to speed production rather than raise prices.

METI will provide ¥387.3 billion (approx 16.2 billion yuan) as 2026 fiscal-year development commission fees to a new SoftBank-led company, Noetra, to develop a domestic AI foundation model. The support targets physical-AI R&D that combines robotics and AI to strengthen Japan’s manufacturing competitiveness. Noetra, formed around SoftBank, NEC, Honda and Sony, will focus on high-level Japanese-language understanding and reasoning and on multimodal foundation models that recognise images, video, audio and physical space. The project has been selected for support by NEDO.
