特朗普总统周二在白宫为新闻集团高管举办的晚宴上，抨击了包括《华盛顿邮报》、《纽约时报》和MS NOW在内的多家主流媒体，一位知情人士向Axios透露。出席者包括鲁伯特·默多克。
President Trump ragged on several mainstream news outlets, including the Washington Post, New York Times and MS NOW, at a dinner he hosted Tuesday for News Corp. executives, including Rupert Murdoch, a source familiar with the event told Axios.
这很重要：知情人士形容晚宴气氛融洽，但此时正值总统与《华尔街日报》陷入旷日持久的法律纠纷之中。
Why it matters: The dinner, which the source described as cordial, comes amid a prolonged legal battle between the president and the Wall Street Journal.
特朗普于2025年起诉《华尔街日报》索赔100亿美元，缘由是该报一篇报道称一封署名总统的“下流”生日贺信据报被送给了杰弗里·爱泼斯坦。
Trump sued WSJ for $10 billion in 2025 for a story in which it describeda "bawdy" birthday letter bearing the president's name that was reportedly given to Jeffrey Epstein.
联邦法官于4月驳回了该诽谤诉讼，特朗普于5月提交了修正起诉书。《华尔街日报》于6月再次申请驳回起诉。法官尚未就新的驳回申请作出裁决。细节：晚宴在白宫寝宫举行，凸显了其私密性质。
A federal judge tossed the defamation lawsuit in April and Trump filed an amended complaint in May. The Journal sought to again dismiss the complaint in June. The judge has yet to rule on the new dismissal. Zoom in: The dinner took place in the White House residence, underscoring its intimate nature.
知情人士称，出席者除默多克外，还包括国务卿马可·鲁比奥、前白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特、白宫通讯主任史蒂文·张，以及财政部长斯科特·贝森特和白宫幕僚长苏西·怀尔斯。《Breaker》周三率先报道了贝森特和怀尔斯的出席及活动细节。
It was attended by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and White House communications director Steven Cheung, the source said, in addition to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. Breaker first reported Bessent and Wiles' attendance, alongside details of the event on Wednesday.
陪同默多克代表新闻集团出席的还有：新闻集团首席执行官罗伯特·汤姆森、英国新闻集团首席执行官丽贝卡·布鲁克斯、《纽约邮报》主编基思·普尔、《华尔街日报》主编艾玛·塔克和《华尔街日报》评论版主编保罗·吉戈，Axios已证实。
Representing News Corp. alongside Murdoch was News Corp. CEO Robert Thomson, News UK CEO Rebekah Brooks, New York Post editor-in-chief Keith Poole, WSJ editor-in-chief Emma Tucker and WSJ editorial page editor Paul Gigot, Axios confirmed.
现状：据知情人士透露，晚宴期间，特朗普询问了《华尔街日报》的业务情况，获悉其数字版和印刷版订阅量均有所上升。
State of play: During the dinner, Trump asked about the Journal's business and was told digital and print subscriptions were up, the source said.
据该知情人士称，特朗普一度表示，《华盛顿邮报》、《纽约时报》和MS NOW等其他全国性媒体不如从前重要，且其质量已“下降”。
He at one point remarked that other national outlets, such as the Washington Post, the New York Times and MS NOW aren't as important as before and that their quality had "come down," according to the source.
言外之意：该小组还讨论了伊朗战争、委内瑞拉、古巴、移民、关税，以及中期选举和潜在的2028年总统候选人。
Between the lines: The group also discussed the Iran war, Venezuela, Cuba, immigration, tariffs, as well as the midterms and potential 2028 presidential candidates.
据消息人士透露，总统表示他对中期选举感到乐观，因为他现在每天都在外面进行竞选活动。他还表示，现在决定支持谁参加2028年大选还为时过早。新闻集团未予置评。白宫未予置评。
The president said he felt bullish about the midterms because he is now going out on the campaign trail every day, according to the source. He also said it was too soon to make a decision around who he would support in 2028. News Corp. did not comment. The White House did not comment.
大局观：布雷克指出，这顿晚餐旨在“重置”双方关系，之所以引人注目，是因为参与人数众多。但另一位消息人士称，特朗普和默多克之间的晚餐“只是为了保持联系”而相当频繁地举行。
The big picture: The dinner, which Breaker noted was meant to "reset the relationship" between the two parties, is notable because of how many people were involved. But dinners between Trump and Murdoch happen pretty frequently "simply to touch base," a separate source said.
