据Politico：美国官员透露，尽管特朗普政府公开坚持推动创纪录的1.5万亿美元国防预算，但五角大楼及国会拨款委员会正私下制定规模约1.1万亿美元的国防预算方案。

Lebanon’s Mayadeen TV, citing an Iranian insider, reported Iran denies Trump’s claim that US Vice President VANCE’s letter to Supreme National Security Council secretary Rezaei was in response to a request for equipment and medicines, calling that allegation “a complete lie” and saying it will disclose the letter’s details at an appropriate time. The source said the US is trying to use the nuclear issue to weaken Iran’s nuclear capability; Iran fears handing over enriched uranium would not end hostilities and could invite further US attacks, and it rejects mediation that merely conveys US demands and pressure. It warned that if the US uses bases in Middle Eastern countries to strike Iranian interests, Iran will respond according to the nature of the attack and will not allow Gulf states to exploit its goodwill.

Trump said the US is cooperating with Venezuela to extract millions of barrels of oil to supply the United States.
