(Central News Agency, Washington, 30th, Comprehensive Foreign News Report) The U.S. Supreme Court ruled today to allow states to ban transgender athletes from participating in women’s campus sports, giving conservatives a major victory in one of the most fierce culture wars in the United States. Agence France-Presse reported that the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling will allow more than 20 Republican-controlled states including Idaho and West Virginia to implement rules requiring students to compete in public schools and college sports teams based on their sex at birth, rather than their gender identity. The cases were brought by transgender students who argued that the ban violated the equal protection rights of the U.S. Constitution and violated Title IX, a federal civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination in education. Supporters of the laws say they are necessary to ensure fair competition and protect athletic opportunities for women and girls; opponents say they specifically exclude and discriminate against disadvantaged minority groups of students. Republican President Donald Trump, whose administration has imposed strict restrictions on transgender rights, supported the Republican states that implemented the ban in the lawsuit. Trump has posted a message on his social media platform “Truth Social”, praising the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling as a “major victory” and saying that the Supreme Court has eliminated “that ridiculous situation.” (Compiled by: Chen Zhengjian) 1150630 Support the Central News Agency’s choice to stand with the facts.

Please agree to our privacy policy to enable news listening. (Central News Agency reporter Hou Ziying, Washington, 26th) As the United States and Iran signed an end-of-war memorandum and launched follow-up negotiations, it was reported that a ship was attacked while passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military said today that after Iran attacked the Evergreen Shipping Line’s Evergreen ship with a drone, the U.S. military responded by dispatching military aircraft to attack Iran’s missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar stations. The U.S. Central Command (US Central Command) issued a statement on the Central Command pointed out that after Iran attacked the “Ever Lovely” with a unidirectional attack drone, the US military dispatched military aircraft to attack Iran’s missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar stations. The US military stated that the Singapore-flagged Changli was sailing along the coast of Oman and leaving the Strait of Hormuz when it was attacked by Iran. Central Command pointed out that the Iranian forces’ unreasonable provocations against commercial shipping “clearly violated the ceasefire agreement.” Iran’s dangerous actions undermine freedom of navigation as commerce moves increasingly through this important international trade corridor. Central Command emphasized that it will continue to provide safe passage coordination and support for merchant ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military will maintain deployment and alert to ensure that the agreement reached with Iran is adhered to and fully and effectively implemented. U.S. President Donald Trump also posted on social media earlier that Iran launched at least four drones at ships passing through this important waterway. One of them hit the upper deck of a large cargo ship. Although the ship was damaged, it was still able to continue sailing. The United States shot down the other three drones. He also criticized Iran for “foolishly” violating the ceasefire agreement. Evergreen Marine issued a statement stating that the “Evergreen” owned by Evergreen Marine Singapore Company followed the route recommended by the British Maritime Trade Action Office. While passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the starboard side of the bridge superstructure was hit by an unknown object. After preliminary inspection by the crew, it was found that the eaves and cab windows were damaged, but the people, ship and cargo were all safe, and the ship had left the strait safely. The United States and Iran recently signed a memorandum to end the war in the Middle East, which includes the United States, Iran and their allies in the current war. By signing this memorandum, they announced the immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts.

Please agree to our privacy policy to enable news listening. (Central News Agency, Stockholm/Washington, Comprehensive Foreign News Report on the 25th) As the United States intensifies its crackdown on Chinese automobiles, Swedish electric vehicle manufacturer Polestar, which is majority-owned by China Geely Automobile Holdings, said today that the Trump administration has forced the automaker to ban sales of 2027 and subsequent models in the United States. Reuters reported that the U.S. Department of Commerce has not agreed to authorize Polestar to sell cars under the Connected Vehicles Rule. The rules, which restrict the import and sale of vehicles equipped with Chinese connected car technology, take effect starting with the 2027 model year. The new regulations based on national security considerations cover Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, mobile network connections and some satellite communication technologies to prevent vehicles from collecting sensitive information about American owners. This rule was adopted in January 2025 during the administration of former US President Joe Biden and continued to maintain relevant policies after Donald Trump returned to the White House. As the United States strengthens its domestic auto industry, this is the latest move by Washington to tighten its ban on Chinese manufacturing and exporting cars. Polestar said it will continue to sell its existing models Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 in the United States and continue to provide after-sales services, emphasizing that it will not appeal against the rejection of the application. U.S. lawmakers have proposed further tightening of relevant restrictions; the U.S. Department of Commerce has not yet responded to Reuters’ request for comment.
