迪士尼将21世纪福克斯(21st Century Fox)大部分资产的出价提高至710亿美元，其中约一半是现金，其余的为股票。这超过了主动报价的对手康卡斯特(Comcast)提供的650亿美元全现金收购条件。

2:The agency is being led by Mick Mulvaney, who is also the head of the White House budget office, where Ms Kraninger currently works.
3:Some (mostly Democrats) questioned Ms Kraninger’s appointment, claiming that—as a White House insider—she lacks the experience to run an independent office.

1:白宫宣布，凯西·克兰宁格(Kathy Kraninger)将被提名为消费者金融保护局(Consumer Financial Protection Bureau)局长，自从该机构作为《多德-弗兰克法案》(Dodd-Frank Act)改革的一部分成立以来，它一直是共和党人的“眼中钉”。
2:该机构的曾经的负责人是米克·马尔瓦尼(Mick Mulvaney)，他也是白宫预算办公室(White House budget office)的负责人，而克兰宁格目前任职于该办公室。
3:一些人(大部分民主党人)质疑克兰宁格女士的任命，并声称，她作为白宫内部人员，缺乏管理独立办公室的经验。
