美國陸軍部長德里斯科(Dan Driscoll)日前遞交辭呈,讓五角大廈高層的內部矛盾正式浮上檯面。華盛頓郵報引述知情人士報導,德里斯科在向總統川普請辭時,直言戰爭部長赫格塞斯(Pete Hegseth)過度干預軍方人事與軍隊現代化計畫,對陸軍造成嚴重破壞。
報導指出,儘管川普曾試圖慰留他至期中選舉後,展現對這位與副總統范斯(JD Vance)交情深厚官員的支持,德里斯科仍決定3日正式離職。外界預期,他未來可能投入范斯潛在的2028年總統競選陣營。

這場人事震盪正值美軍重兵部署中東、應對伊朗衝突與無人機威脅的關鍵時刻。美國陸軍與海軍目前均面臨缺乏經參議院正式認可的文職首長的窘境。
報導指出,赫格塞斯上任後大幅顛覆軍方傳統的獨立晉升機制,近期更一舉撤銷多名陸軍准將的晉升案,並著手清除被視為與政府政策不合的軍官。五角大廈發言人雖嚴詞否認內部陷入混亂的說法,強調這些舉措是「改革的必經過程」,但相關行動已引發國會強烈反彈。
曾為赫格塞斯任命案投下關鍵同意票的共和黨籍參議員提里斯(Thom Tillis)對此發出猛烈抨擊,公開痛批赫格塞斯的領導與管理「極度無能」。即將退休的提里斯坦言,後悔當初的投票決定,並公開呼籲川普撤換戰爭部長。

Former Ecuadorian president Lenin Moreno and a former Chinese ambassador to Quito appealed to the country's highest court to overturn five-year sentences for a US$76 million bribery scheme linked to the Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric project. Moreno, convicted last week, remains free and would serve any sentence at home due to his paraplegia if the conviction is upheld.

The Kuomintang defended the controversy surrounding Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's eldest son's selection as a publicly funded exchange student, accusing Lai Ching-te's eldest son of having received a National Cheng Kung University scholarship, which constituted a double standard. Senior media person Huang Zhixian pointed out that Lai Qingde's son applied for the scholarship to Ma Ying-jeou, while Jiang Wanan's son applied to his father. He questioned the lack of avoidance of benefits and criticized the Kuomintang for criticizing Chen Shui-bian's family privileges in the past, but now it is protecting Jiang Wanan.

On Armed Forces Day, President Lai Ching-te paid tribute to the nearly 500,000 soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the Republic of China during World War II at the Martyrs' Shrine in Taipei. He also announced that starting from next year, soldiers, civil servants and teachers will receive a 4% salary increase, emphasizing that military personnel's treatment and family support will be improved to safeguard national security and sovereignty.

The Executive Yuan yesterday approved a historically high supplementary budget of NT$607.63 billion (approximately US$19.13 billion), of which 421.3 billion yuan was used to stabilize the economy and 145.69 billion yuan was used for weapons procurement. The budget will inject 23.38 billion yuan into PetroChina to make up for losses, and propose 18.75 billion yuan to offset inflation caused by conflicts in the Middle East. The Ministry of Defense said the budget would fund key military capabilities such as Category 7 missiles and drones to make up for gaps in combat capabilities caused by chronic underfunding.

The Pentagon removed decades of classified documents from its SIPRNet system after the Washington Post reported that top generals expressed concerns about the war in Iran. The document involves the Secretary of Defense's order book, which records the location of warships and weapons systems and allows generals to express disapproval. The spokesman did not deny the change, but emphasized that operational decisions are made through appropriate safe channels. The move could limit access to information for emergency military planning.

Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris actively participated in the 2026 midterm elections, endorsing Nevada Attorney General Ford and New Hampshire Senate candidate Bappas. However, candidates in swing districts and conservative states such as Iowa, Alaska, Wisconsin, and Kansas publicly opposed her auxiliary election, fearing that her low personal favorability and high overall dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party would become a resistance to votes. Candidates in deep blue states embraced her support, highlighting the polarized attitude within the party about her role in paving the way for the 2028 election.
