第一則：馬克宏聯大行程受阻 川普車隊封路迫其徒步赴會
法國總統馬克宏在紐約參加聯合國大會途中，因美國總統川普的車隊封鎖街道，行程一度受阻。馬克宏以英文致電川普，希望能解封道路，但最後未能成功，只能徒步前往會議地點。
雖然行程受影響，馬克宏並未中斷外交交流，途中仍與川普持續討論加薩局勢及其他國際議題。雙方氣氛保持友好，突顯法美兩國在國際事務上的互動與合作，事件也意外成為大會期間的焦點插曲。
Macron’s UN Trip Disrupted, Walks After Trump Motorcade Blocks Streets
French President Emmanuel Macron faced disruption on his way to the UN General Assembly in New York when U.S. President Donald Trump’s motorcade blocked the streets. Macron called Trump in English to request the road be reopened, but when the attempt failed, he had no choice but to walk to the venue.
Despite the setback, Macron continued diplomatic exchanges, discussing the Gaza situation and other international issues with Trump along the way. The cordial tone underscored France-U.S. cooperation, while the unusual scene became a standout moment of the Assembly.
第二則：美新版防衛戰略曝光 嚇阻中國動武
日媒報導，美國即將發布新版國防戰略，將「嚇阻中國對台動武」納為核心對外戰略之一。該戰略據稱會包括要求台灣加強自我防衛能力，並在北京真的對台動武時，美軍將介入阻止。
新版戰略也重視飛彈防禦，如強化關島防衛與發展潛射巡航核武。雖然美國政府在「台灣關係法」中保持戰略模糊，但這次策略轉向顯示川普政府對中國政策出現重大改變。
U.S. Unveils New Defense Strategy to Deter China from Attacking Taiwan
Japanese media reported that the United States is set to release a new National Defense Strategy , placing the deterrence of a Chinese attack on Taiwan at the core of its foreign policy. The strategy reportedly calls for Taiwan to strengthen its self-defense capabilities and pledges U.S. military intervention if Beijing launches an assault.
The new strategy also emphasizes missile defense, including reinforcing Guam’s defenses and developing submarine-launched nuclear cruise missiles.
