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 […]

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 […]

Togo : équilibre diplomatique entre France et Russie

Le Togo tente de tirer parti de ses relations avec la France et la Russie, tout en conservant sa liberté d’action régionale. Après l’échec du coup d’État au Bénin le 7 décembre, le chef rebelle Pascal Tigri aurait trouvé refuge temporaire au Togo avant de se rendre probablement au Burkina Faso ou au Niger. Le rôle exact du Togo dans cette affaire reste flou, illustrant sa capacité à naviguer habilement entre partenaires internationaux concurrents sous la direction de Faure Gnassingbé. Lomé entretient des liens prudents avec le Bénin tout en affichant un soutien ouvert à certains régimes militaires sahéliens dissidents, notamment au Burkina Faso, au Niger et au Mali. Cette diplomatie équilibrée rappelle à la France que le Togo a d’autres options internationales. En octobre, Faure Gnassingbé s’est rendu à Paris pour rencontrer Emmanuel Macron, avant de se rendre trois […]

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 […]

Investigators say nearly 100 items reported missing, including Baccarat champagne flutes, Sèvres porcelain plates, solid silver cutlery and a René Lalique figurine, were later discovered in the locker, vehicle and home of Thomas M, identified by French media as the palace’s chief butler.

Israeli airstrikes hit targets across Lebanon

Israel has launched a new wave of strikes on southern and eastern Lebanon, hitting several locations that the Israeli military says are linked to Hezbollah.
