白宮經濟顧問委員會主席費蘭：民衆不滿主要是因爲物價仍處於較高水平。

U.S. Secretary of State Rubio will visit Paris Nov. 8-10 to attend the G7 foreign ministers meeting, where support for Ukraine is expected to dominate the agenda as winter approaches. Market-sensitive issues include whether the G7 can agree concrete measures on aid and energy ahead of the colder months. Recent Iranian military action has already pushed fuel prices higher and was cited in U.S. political fallout after the midterms. U.S. officials report emerging internal disagreement on next-step policy; attention will center on Rubio’s policy stance. The State Department said Rubio will advance U.S. national interests and he will hold bilateral meetings in Paris. AI and Indo-Pacific developments are also on the agenda.

The International Maritime Organization’s 138th Council closed in London on Nov. 6, reiterating that major international straits and shipping routes must remain open and secure and that all seafarers should be protected regardless of nationality. IMO Secretary-General Dominguez condemned recent attacks on merchant ships and crew in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb, called for an immediate end to the attacks, and said a Marshall Islands‑flagged tanker was struck on Nov. 5, killing one Filipino crew member. The IMO said it will continue liaising with stakeholders and other international organizations, monitor the situation and study further measures to prevent additional fatalities and mitigate humanitarian impact. The council also decided to recommend the Assembly approve Dominguez’s reappointment as secretary‑general for a four‑year term.
