Rubio urges calmer US Europe ties as Trump era shocks strain Munich security talks

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says ties between the United States and Europe have reached a defining moment as leaders gather for the Munich Security Conference.​ Speaking before the meeting in Germany, Rubio said the old world order is gone and a new era in geopolitics is emerging that will force both sides to rethink their roles. He stressed that the United States and Europe remain deeply linked and must discuss how to shape their shared future.​ The annual forum in Munich comes after years of turbulence under President Donald Trump, whose harsh rhetoric and disruptive policies have shaken U.S. alliances. European partners have watched Washington topple Venezuela’s leader, threaten other Latin American governments, impose tariffs on allies and rivals and even talk about annexing Greenland from NATO partner Denmark.​ Last year at Munich, Vice President JD Vance clashed […]

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 […]

Paris court convicts ten over cyber-bullying of Brigitte Macron

A Paris court has found ten people guilty of cyber-bullying Brigitte Macron, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, over a campaign of online harassment targeting her gender, sexuality and personal life. The defendants—eight men and two women—were convicted of posting degrading and insulting remarks online, including false claims about the first lady’s gender identity and repeated attacks referencing the 24-year age difference between her and the president. The judge ruled that the group acted with a clear intention to cause harm. Most of those convicted received suspended prison sentences of up to eight months. One defendant was immediately jailed after failing to appear in court, while several others were ordered to have their social media accounts suspended. Two of the defendants, self-described independent journalist Natacha Rey and online fortune-teller Amandine Roy, had already been convicted in 2024 for slander […]

Algeria moves to label French colonisation a ‘state crime’ and seek reparations

Algeria’s parliament has advanced a landmark bill that would formally declare France’s 130 year colonisation of the country a “state crime” and hold it responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed between 1830 and 1962. Lawmakers are voting on the legislation amid a wider diplomatic rift with Paris, with supporters calling the move a historic step in the country’s quest for colonial justice.​ The draft law seeks to criminalise France’s colonial rule, classifying atrocities committed during the occupation as crimes against humanity under international law. It also makes the “glorification” of French colonialism in Algeria an offence, signalling a tougher stance on how the period is remembered and discussed in public life.​ According to texts seen by local and international media, the bill states that France bears legal responsibility for its colonial past in Algeria and for the […]

Zelensky meets Pope, refines response to new US peace plan

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has met Pope Leo XIV in Italy as he prepares an updated response to a revised United States plan to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The meeting took place at the Pope’s country residence in Castel Gandolfo near Rome, during a wider European tour focused on talks with allies about war and peace efforts.​ Zelensky said Washington had cut its original 28-point proposal to 20 points after intensive talks with Ukrainian officials over the weekend. He explained that Ukrainian and European negotiators will now work through those 20 points and that Kyiv will send its formal, revised position to the United States soon.​ According to Zelensky, the main obstacles in the US plan involve possible territorial concessions and the level of long-term security guarantees for Ukraine. He stressed that Ukraine has no legal or moral right […]

Ukrainian Team Heads to Florida for High Stakes US Talks

Senior Ukrainian negotiators have arrived in Florida for key talks with US officials as Washington steps up efforts to end Russia’s war in Ukraine. The delegation will meet US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff and presidential adviser Jared Kushner on Sunday.​ The meetings will focus on a revised 19 point peace plan backed by US President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly said he wants the conflict to end quickly. The new outline replaces an earlier 28 point proposal that faced strong resistance in Kyiv and across Europe.​ Trump has signaled he could recognize Russian control over parts of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk that are currently occupied by Moscow’s forces. This would leave Ukraine and its European partners to decide whether to keep supporting Ukraine’s defense or accept the new territorial reality.​ The Ukrainian team now includes […]

Affaire Steve Rouyar : son père interpelle Emmanuel Macron

Cinq mois après l’arrestation de Steve Rouyar, 44 ans, expert-comptable guadeloupéen installé au Togo, son père, Dominique Rouyar, continue de réclamer justice et de dénoncer ce qu’il considère comme une injustice flagrante. Accusé d’atteinte à la sûreté de l’État et de troubles à l’ordre public, Steve Rouyar risque jusqu’à 30 ans de prison. Pour sa famille, ces accusations sont infondées et témoignent des « dérives » du pouvoir togolais. « Mon fils n’a pas été arrêté lors d’une manifestation, contrairement à ce qu’affirment les autorités togolaises », affirme Dominique Rouyar. « Il avait seulement évoqué l’idée d’y aller, mais il a été arrêté devant sa résidence, où il n’y avait aucun rassemblement. » Depuis son interpellation, il serait détenu dans des conditions particulièrement difficiles. Selon son père, « il dort dans un cachot sombre, à douze dans la même cellule, […]

Togo – Faure Gnassingbé plaide pour un contrôle africain de l’aide humanitaire

Réunie le 30 octobre à Paris, la Conférence internationale de soutien à la paix et à la prospérité dans la région des Grands Lacs a permis de mobiliser plus de 1,5 milliard d’euros d’assistance pour les populations vulnérables en République démocratique du Congo (RDC), selon le président français Emmanuel Macron. Cette enveloppe, destinée notamment à financer l’envoi de médicaments et de vivres, vient renforcer le plan de réponse humanitaire des Nations unies, jusque-là financé à seulement 16 %. Cependant, plusieurs observateurs nuancent ces annonces, rappelant qu’une partie des fonds correspond à des promesses déjà formulées ou à des engagements réaffectés. Malgré ces réserves, la conférence est considérée comme un succès diplomatique, ayant replacé la crise de l’Est de la RDC au cœur de l’agenda international. Plus de 70 délégations y ont pris part, dont plusieurs grandes puissances et institutions régionales […]

Trump, Al-Sisi to Lead Gaza Peace Summit in Egypt

United States President Donald Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi are set to jointly chair a major peace summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, aimed at finding a lasting solution to the ongoing Gaza conflict. The summit, scheduled for later this week, will gather key world leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, both of whom have confirmed their attendance.

Macron Reappoints Lecornu as French PM, Deepening Crisis

French President Emmanuel Macron has reappointed Sebastien Lecornu as Prime Minister just four days after his resignation, a move that prolongs the country's political crisis. The decision, announced by the Élysée Palace on Friday, dashes hopes for a new face to break the deadlock over an austerity budget. Lecornu, a 39-year-old Macron loyalist, accepted the role "out of duty" and pledged to secure a budget by year's end. The reappointment was met with immediate criticism. The far-right National Rally called it a "bad joke," while the hard left saw it as an insult to the French people. Lecornu's two immediate predecessors were both ousted by parliament over the same budget dispute, and his new government faces the same challenge in a deeply divided assembly.
