Trump says one in three Nigerian immigrant households in US rely on public benefits

US President Donald Trump has claimed that just over one third of Nigerian immigrant households in the United States receive some form of public assistance. In a chart shared on his Truth Social account on January 4, 2026, he highlighted “immigrant welfare recipient rates by country of origin,” saying 33.3 percent of Nigerian households fall into this category.​ The chart, which covers over 100 countries and territories, lists the share of immigrant households said to be accessing programmes such as food support, healthcare assistance and other welfare benefits. Trump’s post comes as Republicans intensify debates over immigration, welfare dependency and the economic contribution of migrants, with the president using the figures to argue for tougher entry rules and eligibility conditions.​ The data source and methodology behind the chart were not fully detailed in Trump’s post, prompting calls from commentators and […]

Trump renews Greenland push, warns Cuba, Colombia, Mexico

US President Donald Trump has again set his sights on Greenland after ordering military action in Venezuela, saying the United States “needs” the Arctic territory for national security and accusing Denmark of being unable to protect it. He framed Greenland as strategically vital due to its location and rising great power competition in the Arctic, repeating his desire to bring the largely autonomous Danish territory under US control.​ Trump also issued sharp threats against left leaning governments in Latin America, particularly Colombia and Cuba, following the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. He accused Colombian President Gustavo Petro of overseeing cocaine production and warned that Petro “won’t be doing it for long,” while suggesting a possible US operation in Colombia “sounds good” to him.​ Mexico was likewise warned to “get its act together” over drug cartels, with Trump hinting at […]

Trump renews push to annex Greenland

Donald Trump has once again floated the idea of the United States annexing Greenland, despite firm opposition from Danish and Greenlandic leaders, who have urged him to end what they describe as repeated threats toward the Arctic territory. Speaking to reporters, the US president said Washington “needs Greenland from the standpoint of national security,” repeating arguments he has made in the past about the island’s strategic importance and mineral resources. Greenland’s Prime Minister, Jens Frederik Nielsen, rejected the proposal outright, calling it unrealistic and unacceptable. “That’s enough now,” he said, adding that any suggestion of US control over Greenland was a “fantasy.” He stressed that Greenland was open to dialogue, but only through established diplomatic channels and with full respect for international law. Denmark’s Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, also responded strongly, stating that the United States has no right to […]

Maduro to face US judge after capture

Deposed Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro is due to make his first appearance in a United States federal court in Manhattan on Monday, two days after he was seized in a U.S. military operation in Caracas and flown to New York. Court officials say the hearing, scheduled for around noon, will be an initial appearance and arraignment on long standing U.S. federal charges.​ Maduro faces a four count indictment accusing him of leading a 25 year narco terrorism and cocaine trafficking conspiracy that allegedly used Venezuela’s state institutions and security forces to move tons of cocaine into the United States. The charges include conspiracy to commit narco terrorism, conspiracy to import cocaine, and related weapons offences involving machine guns and explosives.​ He is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn alongside other high profile inmates while awaiting trial.

Greenland PM tells Trump ‘enough is enough’

Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen has firmly rejected renewed threats from U.S. President Donald Trump about annexing the autonomous Arctic territory. In a strongly worded message on Facebook, he said “that’s enough now” and called for an end to pressure, insinuations and what he described as fantasies about taking over Greenland.​ Nielsen stressed that Greenland is open to dialogue with the United States but only on the basis of mutual respect and international law. He insisted that Greenland’s future must be decided by its own people, not by external powers, and warned that talk of annexation has no place between friends and partners.​ His comments came after Trump again floated the idea of bringing Greenland under U.S. control, shortly after U.S. forces removed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a military operation that alarmed Danish officials. The renewed annexation talk […]

Capture de Maduro : un tournant géopolitique majeur

Le 3 janvier 2026, les États-Unis ont mené une opération militaire directe sur le territoire vénézuélien, conduisant à l’arrestation du président en exercice, Nicolás Maduro, puis à son transfert forcé vers les États-Unis, où il doit être traduit en justice. Cette action, revendiquée publiquement par le président américain Donald Trump, est présentée par Washington comme relevant de la sécurité nationale. Les faits sont établis et confirmés au plus haut niveau de l’État américain. En moins de vingt-quatre heures, une puissance militaire a capturé un chef d’État en fonction sur son sol national, sans mandat international, sans résolution du Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies et en l’absence de conflit armé officiellement déclaré entre les deux pays. Selon les informations disponibles, l’opération aurait été précédée d’une phase de communication diplomatique destinée à masquer les préparatifs militaires. Alors que Donald Trump évoquait […]
