Petro warns of possible US military action

Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro has said there is now a serious risk of US military action against his country, warning that Washington’s recent rhetoric and operations are pushing relations into dangerous territory. In an interview with the BBC, Petro said the United States was increasingly behaving like an “empire” toward Latin America and could end up becoming isolated internationally if it continued on its current path. His comments came after US President Donald Trump said a military operation in Colombia “sounds good”, following recent US strikes in Venezuela and the capture of Nicolás Maduro. Petro said such statements could not be taken lightly, recalling Colombia’s past loss of territory and describing the remarks as a “real threat” to national sovereignty. The two leaders spoke by phone on Wednesday, with Trump later describing the exchange as an honour and suggesting he […]

Trump to meet Venezuela’s Machado in Washington next week

US President Donald Trump says he plans to meet Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado in Washington next week. He spoke during an interview on Fox News, after recent US military strikes in Venezuela led to the capture of President Nicolas Maduro.​ Trump said he understands Machado will be in Washington and that he looks forward to greeting her, but did not give a specific date or agenda for the meeting.

Iran’s Khamenei vows no retreat as nationwide protests grow

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says Iran will not back down as protests continue across the country over rising prices and economic hardship. The latest unrest has spread to major cities, with demonstrators complaining about high inflation, a weak currency and the rising cost of living.​ Khamenei accused some protesters of acting on behalf of foreign enemies and warned that the state would not tolerate what it calls rioters attacking public property. He said the Islamic Republic would not yield to pressure and described those involved in violence as mercenaries for outsiders.​ Authorities have limited internet access and disrupted communications as the protests have grown, leaving many parts of Iran largely cut off from the outside world. Domestic flights have been cancelled and local news websites have struggled to update, further restricting information from inside the country.​ Officials are […]

US–Venezuela oil pact angers China, cools prices

Global oil prices slipped after President Donald Trump confirmed a deal for the United States to import up to 2 billion dollars worth of Venezuelan crude that had been blocked by sanctions.​The plan would redirect an estimated 30 to 50 million barrels of stranded Venezuelan oil to US refiners, boosting supply and easing market pressure.​ China, once Venezuela’s main oil customer, criticised the move as economic coercion and accused Washington of effectively hijacking cargoes previously tied to Chinese interests.​Analysts say the shift could undercut Chinese refiners that relied on discounted Venezuelan crude and weaken Beijing’s long standing energy relationship with Caracas.​ Trump has presented the deal as a win for American motorists and Venezuelans, arguing it will lower fuel costs while putting Caracas’ oil revenues under tighter US control.​Uncertainty remains over how long the arrangement will last and how it […]

Cubans fear deeper crisis as Venezuela oil lifeline is choked off

Cubans are bracing for even tougher times after the United States seized two more Venezuela linked oil tankers, threatening to cut a key source of fuel to the island.​The seizures come just days after US forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, raising the risk that Venezuelan crude supplies to Cuba could shrink further or stop.​ In the port city of Matanzas, shuttered filling stations and long queues for petrol already reflect worsening shortages.​Residents fear longer and more frequent power cuts, saying the loss of Venezuelan oil will deepen an economic crisis marked by high inflation, blackouts and shortages of basic goods.​ Venezuela had recently supplied about 27000 barrels of oil per day to Cuba, covering roughly half of the country’s fuel deficit.​Mexico and Russia have become important secondary suppliers, but Mexico’s president says her country has not increased shipments, limiting […]

US Senate to vote on curbing Trump’s Venezuela moves

The United States Senate is set to vote on a resolution that would block President Donald Trump from launching further military action in Venezuela without explicit approval from Congress.​The measure, introduced under the War Powers Act, follows the US special forces operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and has raised fears of wider conflict.​ The resolution is sponsored by Democratic Senator Tim Kaine and Republican Senator Rand Paul, reflecting rare bipartisan concern over presidential war powers.​Supporters argue that the Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the authority to declare war and that lawmakers must reassert that role after the raid in Venezuela.​ Republican leaders have so far blocked similar efforts, and it is unclear whether enough members of Trump’s party will back the latest resolution for it to pass.​Even if approved in the Senate, the measure would face tough […]

Prince Andrew property sale linked to suspect funds

A BBC investigation has found that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor received millions of pounds from the sale of his former Berkshire mansion through funds linked to a company later implicated in criminal corruption cases. The buyer, Kazakh billionaire Timur Kulibayev, confirmed through his lawyers that he relied partly on a loan from a firm called Enviro Pacific Investments to purchase Sunninghill Park for £15 million. Italian prosecutors later concluded that Enviro Pacific had received money connected to a bribery scheme dating back to 2007. The purchase of Sunninghill Park was completed just weeks after the final payments linked to the alleged corruption were made. Kulibayev reportedly paid significantly above the property’s asking price and market value. At the time, he was among the most powerful figures in Kazakhstan’s oil and gas sector and the son-in-law of then-president Nursultan Nazarbayev. Kulibayev’s legal team […]

Trump pulls US out of dozens of global organisations

US President Donald Trump has ordered the United States to withdraw from dozens of international organisations, including many focused on climate change and global governance. The decision affects 66 entities, nearly half of which are affiliated with the United Nations. Among those impacted is the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the treaty that forms the foundation of international cooperation to address global warming. The White House said the withdrawals were justified on the grounds that these organisations no longer align with US interests and support agendas considered ineffective or hostile. According to an official statement, the move follows a review that concluded continued participation amounted to a misuse of public funds. The administration said the decision would end US financial contributions and involvement in bodies it believes prioritise global initiatives over national priorities. It further accused several organisations of […]

Russia sends sub to guard tanker pursued by US

Russia has deployed a submarine and other naval vessels to escort an aging oil tanker that US forces have been trying to seize off the coast of Venezuela.​The ship, formerly known as Bella 1 and now sailing under a new name, has been tracked for weeks over alleged involvement in sanctions busting and black market oil shipments.​ According to US officials cited in media reports, the tanker had attempted to approach Venezuela to load oil but was blocked and later pursued in international waters.​Washington considers the vessel stateless and subject to boarding because it has sailed under questionable flags while linked to networks moving sanctioned Russian and Venezuelan crude.​ Moscow’s decision to send a submarine and additional naval assets marks a sharp escalation in the standoff and signals its readiness to physically shield the tanker from US interdiction.​Analysts say the […]
