Trump Gaza peace board eyes 1 billion dollar fees

A draft charter for United States President Donald Trump’s proposed Gaza Board of Peace asks member countries to pay 1 billion dollars if they want their membership to last more than three years. The document was sent to about 60 countries and sets out rules for how long states can serve on the body.​ Under the draft, each member would normally serve a term of up to three years from the date the charter takes effect. The term can be renewed by the board chairman, but the three year limit does not apply to any country that contributes more than 1 billion dollars in cash to the board within the first year.​ The charter is part of Washington’s wider plan to set up a board that would oversee reconstruction and political arrangements in Gaza once the current conflict eases. The […]

EU weighs tough response to Trump’s Greenland tariffs

European Union officials and lawmakers are calling for the first ever use of the bloc’s Anti Coercion Instrument in response to new tariff threats by United States President Donald Trump over Greenland. Trump has vowed escalating tariffs on Denmark, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Britain and Norway until Washington is allowed to buy Greenland.​ The affected countries already face US tariffs of 10 and 15 percent and have each sent small contingents of military personnel to Greenland. Cyprus, which holds the rotating EU presidency, has summoned EU ambassadors to an emergency meeting in Brussels to discuss the response.​ A source close to French President Emmanuel Macron said he is working to coordinate a common European strategy and supports activating the Anti Coercion Instrument. The tool could restrict US access to public tenders in the EU or limit trade in […]

US talks with hardline Venezuelan minister Cabello began months before raid

Officials in President Donald Trump’s administration were in quiet contact with Venezuela’s hardline interior minister Diosdado Cabello months before the US raid that seized President Nicolas Maduro on January 3, and those communications have continued since. Multiple sources say the talks were aimed at preventing further instability and focused on urging the 62‑year‑old power broker not to deploy security forces or ruling‑party militias against opposition supporters.​ Cabello controls key elements of Venezuela’s security apparatus, including intelligence services, police and parts of the armed forces, which have largely remained intact after Maduro’s removal. He is named in the same US drug‑trafficking indictment used to justify Maduro’s arrest, yet he was not detained in the operation, and discussions with Washington have also touched on sanctions and the criminal charges he faces.​ US officials see Cabello’s stance as critical to the survival of […]

Trump vows tariffs on eight European nations over Greenland

US President Donald Trump has vowed to impose escalating tariffs on eight European countries in a bid to pressure Denmark into allowing the United States to purchase Greenland. In a Truth Social post, he announced that a 10 percent tariff on all goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland will begin on February 1.​ Trump said the tariffs would rise to 25 percent on June 1 and remain in place “until a deal is reached for the complete and total purchase of Greenland.” He argued that Greenland’s strategic location and natural resources are vital to US national security and suggested he would not rule out tougher measures if Europe continues to oppose American control of the territory.​ European governments and Denmark, which has sovereignty over Greenland, have rejected previous US overtures and insist […]

US lawmakers arrive in Copenhagen to counter Trump’s Greenland threats

A bipartisan delegation of US lawmakers has arrived in Copenhagen to reassure Denmark and Greenland of strong congressional support amid President Donald Trump’s renewed threats to seize the Arctic island. Trump has called Greenland vital to US national security because of its strategic location and mineral wealth and has refused to rule out the possible use of force to acquire it.​ The 11‑member delegation is led by Democratic Senator Chris Coons and includes Republicans such as Senators Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski, who have publicly pushed back against any military move on Greenland. They plan to meet Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic leaders to deliver a clear message that Congress stands firmly with NATO allies and supports Denmark’s sovereignty over the territory.​ Their visit follows high‑level talks in Washington between Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, Greenland’s Foreign […]

Czech citizen imprisoned in Venezuela released, foreign minister says

A Czech national imprisoned in Venezuela since 2024 on allegations of involvement in a plot to assassinate then President Nicolas Maduro and overthrow his government has been released, Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka has announced. The man was freed alongside other foreign detainees as part of a broader release of political prisoners by Venezuelan authorities.​ According to Czech media, he had been arrested over claims he planned to participate in a conspiracy against Maduro, though Prague has consistently rejected the accusations and previously described his detention as unlawful and without a fair trial. Macinka said the release followed several weeks of intense diplomatic negotiations and confirmed that citizens of Ireland, Romania, Germany, Albania, Ukraine and the Netherlands were also among those freed.​ The development comes amid a wider prisoner‑release process in Venezuela, with rights groups noting that the number of […]

New Map Reveals Antarctica’s Hidden Landscape

Scientists have produced the most detailed map yet of the landscape hidden beneath Antarctica’s vast ice sheet, offering new insights into how the continent may respond to climate change. Using satellite observations combined with physical models of glacier movement, researchers reconstructed the shape of the land buried under kilometres of ice. The results reveal thousands of previously unknown hills and ridges and provide far clearer images of subglacial mountain ranges than earlier maps. Although uncertainties remain, the team says the new data significantly improves understanding of Antarctica’s underlying terrain and its influence on ice flow. This knowledge is critical for predicting how fast glaciers could retreat as temperatures rise and how much they may contribute to future sea-level rise. Until now, scientists have had a strong grasp of Antarctica’s icy surface thanks to satellites, but the bedrock below has been […]

Trump Threatens Insurrection Act Over Minneapolis Unrest

US President Donald Trump has warned he could invoke the rarely used Insurrection Act to respond to growing unrest in Minneapolis linked to federal immigration enforcement operations. The warning followed a night of protests, vandalism and clashes with law enforcement after a federal immigration officer shot a man in the leg during an altercation. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the officer opened fire while defending himself after being attacked. According to DHS, the incident began with a vehicle pursuit involving a Venezuelan national, Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, who had a prior conviction for driving without a licence. After the chase ended, Sosa-Celis allegedly confronted the officer. Two other Venezuelan nationals, Alfredo Alejandro Ajorna and Gabriel Alejandro Hernandez-Ledezma, reportedly joined the altercation. DHS said the three men assaulted the agent using a snow shovel and a broom handle, prompting the […]

Iran Families Asked to Pay to Recover Protesters’ Bodies

Families of protesters killed during the recent unrest in Iran have accused authorities of demanding large payments before releasing the bodies of their relatives for burial, according to accounts shared with the BBC. Several sources told BBC Persian that bodies of those killed are being kept in hospital mortuaries, with security forces refusing to hand them over unless families pay substantial sums of money. These allegations come amid nationwide protests that have left thousands dead in just over two weeks. According to figures from the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), at least 2,435 people have been killed since the demonstrations began, alongside 13 children and 153 members of the security forces or government. The group also reports that more than 18,000 people have been arrested. In the northern city of Rasht, one family said they were asked to […]

Oil prices tumble after Trump eases concerns over Iran

Oil prices have fallen sharply after US President Donald Trump signalled he may hold off on military action against Iran, easing fears of a sudden disruption to global crude supplies. The pullback comes after a week in which benchmark prices surged on worries that Washington could strike Iran over its deadly crackdown on protesters.​ US West Texas Intermediate crude dropped by more than 1 to 2, losing over 1 per barrel in early Asian trading after Trump said killings in Iran were “stopping” and there was “no plan for executions.” Brent crude, the global benchmark, fell by around 3, slipping back below 65 per barrel after gaining about 11 over the previous five sessions.​ Trump told reporters the US would “watch it and see,” comments that traders interpreted as a sign that an immediate strike on Iran was unlikely. Analysts […]
