📝 英文原文:
The Supreme Court on Tuesdayallowed Exxon Mobil to sue state-owned oil companies in Cubaover the confiscation of property that occurred after Fidel Castro’s regime seized power nearly seven decades ago, letting the lawsuit proceed at a time when President Donald Trump has taken an aggressive stance toward Havana.Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the opinion for a 6-3 majority with the liberal justices in dissent.The decision is the latest development in an unusual confluence of legal and geopolitical moves Washington has taken to increase pressure on Cuba. The Trump administration indicted former Cuban President Raúl Castro on May 20 on charges that stem from his alleged role in the1996 shootdownof two civilian aircraft thatkilled four people, including three Americans. Trump has also flirted with military action in Cuba, telling reporters in March he might have the “honor of taking Cuba.”A day after the Castro indictment, the Supreme Court decided another case dealing with property seized by Cuba. In that decision, an 8-1 court allowed a lawsuit to proceedagainst the world’s largest cruise ship operatorsthat had docked at Havana’s pier amid a thawing of relations during the Obama administration.The Exxon case was also tied to property confiscated in 1960 shortly after Castro came to power in the island nation’s revolution and to a law Congress passed in 1996 allowing US nationals to sue over that seized property in US courts.By the late 1950s, Standard Oil Company – later renamed Exxon Mobil Corporation – had extensive operations in Cuba, including a refinery, multiple product terminals and 117 service stations, all of which were seized by the Castro government and folded into state-owned enterprises.An American commission in 1969 certified Standard Oil’s loss at nearly $72 million. With interest and Exxon’s request for triple damages, hundreds of millions of dollars may be at stake.The case involving Exxon dealt with how the 1996 law interacts with another federal law

最高法院周二允许埃克森美孚就菲德尔·卡斯特罗政权近七十年前掌权后没收财产一事起诉古巴国有石油公司,让诉讼在唐纳德·特朗普总统对哈瓦那采取侵略立场之际进行。大法官布雷特·卡瓦诺以 6 比 3 的多数票撰写了这份意见,而自由派大法官则持不同意见。这一决定是法律和地缘政治不同寻常融合的最新进展。
