Nigeria and Kenya Among Nations Running Out of HIV Drugs – WHO

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that eight countries, six of them in Africa—including Nigeria, Kenya, and Lesotho—are at risk of running out of life-saving HIV medications. This is due to a freeze on U.S. foreign aid, which has disrupted critical health programs, including the supply of anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs.U.S. President Donald Trump halted foreign aid on his first day in office as part of a review into government spending. The suspension has affected the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a major initiative that has provided treatment to millions of people living with HIV in low-income countries since its launch in 2003.The WHO chief, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, expressed concern that this disruption could undo 20 years of progress in fighting HIV, potentially leading to an additional 10 million HIV cases and three million deaths.

Trump Revokes Secret Service Protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden

On March 17, 2025, President Donald Trump announced that he was revoking the Secret Service protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden, the children of President Joe Biden.

He specifically pointed out that Hunter Biden's security detail was currently accompanying him on a trip to South Africa. Similarly, Trump mentioned that 13 agents had been assigned to protect Ashley Biden but stated that he would also terminate her security.This move comes in stark contrast to the protection granted to Trump's children after his own first term.

French MEP Calls for the Return of the Statue of Liberty to France

French Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Raphaël Glucksmann has sparked a controversial debate, suggesting that the United States should return the Statue of Liberty to France. Nearly 140 years after it was gifted to America, Glucksmann argues that the statue no longer symbolizes the values it was meant to represent, due to the United States' current political climate.The Statue of Liberty, originally a gift from France to the United States in 1886, was designed by artist Auguste Bartholdi and intended as a symbol of liberty, justice, and democracy. However, Glucksmann claims that the US government no longer upholds these ideals, referencing policies such as mass deportations and cuts to scientific research funding under former President Donald Trump.Glucksmann’s remarks were especially pointed, saying: “We’re going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the […]
