Xi calls Taiwan key issue in US-China ties

Chinese President Xi Jinping has described Taiwan as the most sensitive and significant issue in relations between Beijing and Washington during a phone conversation with US President Donald Trump on Wednesday, according to Chinese state media. During the exchange, Xi urged the United States to act with caution regarding arms sales to Taiwan, stressing that he places high importance on maintaining stable ties with the US. He expressed hope that both countries could manage disagreements through dialogue and mutual understanding. President Trump characterized the discussion as “excellent” and extensive. The call comes amid renewed diplomatic engagement between China and several Western countries, with leaders seeking to recalibrate relations with the world’s second-largest economy. Trump is expected to travel to China in April, a visit he has said he is eagerly anticipating. He also noted that Beijing is considering increasing its […]

Denmark, Greenland face Vance in high stakes White House meeting

Denmark and Greenland’s foreign ministers are meeting US Vice President JD Vance at the White House in a high stakes bid to defuse a growing crisis over President Donald Trump’s push for the United States to take control of Greenland. The talks follow weeks of threats and comments from Trump insisting that the mineral rich Arctic island is vital to US security and must eventually become American territory.​ Denmark’s Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and Greenland’s Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt are expected to present a united front against any transfer of sovereignty. Both Copenhagen and Nuuk say Greenland is not for sale and that any use of force or coercion is reckless and unacceptable between NATO allies.​ Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen has already declared that, if forced to choose, the territory stands firmly with Denmark. He said the […]

Trump’s Iran tariff threat risks reopening China rift

US President Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 25 percent tariff on any country that trades with Iran is raising fears of a renewed rift with China, Tehran’s biggest commercial partner. Analysts say the move could drag Beijing back into a trade confrontation with Washington just as both sides were trying to stabilise ties.​ Trump announced on Monday that his administration is preparing the new tariffs as part of efforts to punish Iran over its crackdown on protests and to choke off the country’s oil revenues. The proposed measure would hit major buyers of Iranian crude and goods, including China, India and several countries in Asia.​ China has repeatedly criticised unilateral US sanctions and defended its energy and trade links with Iran as legitimate under international law. Beijing is also a key player in Iran’s oil, infrastructure and technology sectors […]

Trump says US will take Greenland one way or the other

US President Donald Trump says the United States will take control of Greenland “one way or the other,” warning that Russia or China could move in if Washington does not act. He describes the mineral rich Arctic territory, which is part of Denmark, as vital for US security because of growing Russian and Chinese activity in the region.​ Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump says he prefers to reach a deal with Greenland’s self governing authorities but is ready to consider tougher options if negotiations fail. He argues that countries should “own” key territory rather than rely on leases, and says the United States must be ready to defend Greenland as its own.​ Trump has repeatedly suggested that if the US does not act, Russia or China will “take over” Greenland, a prospect he calls unacceptable. He also […]

South Africa defends joint naval drills with Iran, Russia and China as vital for maritime security

South Africa has defended its decision to host joint naval exercises with Iran, Russia and China, saying the drills are essential for maritime security and regional cooperation. The week long Will for Peace 2026 exercise began off the country’s coast on January 9 and is being led by China.​ Officials in Pretoria said the manoeuvres are not aimed at any country but are focused on protecting sea lanes, combating piracy and safeguarding maritime economic activities. The South African Navy described the drills as a practical response to rising tensions at sea and the growing importance of secure shipping routes.​ Warships from China and Iran, including destroyers, are participating alongside Russian and Emirati corvettes, while South Africa has deployed a frigate. Other BRICS partners and new members, such as Indonesia, Ethiopia and Brazil, have joined as observers to the exercise.​ The […]

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 […]

Beijing parade: Xi Jinping’s display of power and ambition

Beijing is preparing for one of its most elaborate military parades in recent history, a carefully staged event that underscores President Xi Jinping’s ambition to project strength both at home and abroad. Eight giant Chinese flags now flank the portrait of Mao Zedong at Tiananmen Square, overlooking seating for 26 foreign leaders, including Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. Around 50,000 guests are expected as the Chinese capital transforms into a stage for political theatre and military might. The parade officially commemorates 80 years since Japan’s surrender in World War II. But for Xi, it is far more than a historical remembrance; it is a statement of power. This week has already marked several breakthroughs for the Chinese leader. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Beijing for the first time in seven years. The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation […]

Elon Musk’s Stern Warning After Pentagon Leak—What Happened and Why It Matters

Elon Musk is no stranger to controversy, but his recent threat toward Pentagon employees over a leaked meeting about a potential U.S.-China war has sparked intense debate. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO warned that those responsible for the leak "will be found," raising questions about national security, corporate influence in defense, and Musk’s own role in geopolitics. What Was Leaked? According to reports, details from a high-level Pentagon meeting discussing U.S. military preparedness in a potential conflict with China were leaked. While the exact contents remain unclear, the breach was serious enough to draw Musk’s ire, given his companies' deep ties to U.S. defense contracts (SpaceX’s Starlink, for example, is used by the military). Musk’s Strong Reaction Musk took to social media (likely X, formerly Twitter) to declare that the leakers "will be found," suggesting he views the breach as a major […]

Trump Has a Lot to Offer, Even Without a Ukraine Deal

President Trump says he is focused on stopping the “death march” in Ukraine “as soon as possible.” But for President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, cease-fire talks with Mr. Trump are a means to much broader ends. Russian and American officials met in Saudi Arabia on Monday to deepen their negotiations about technical details of a partial cease-fire to halt attacks on energy facilities and on ships in the Black Sea. While Ukraine says it’s ready for a full truce, Mr. Putin has made it clear that he will seek a wide range of concessions first. The upshot: The Kremlin appears determined to squeeze as many benefits as possible from Mr. Trump’s desire for a Ukraine peace deal, even as it slow-walks the negotiations. Viewed from Moscow, better ties with Washington are an economic and geopolitical boon — one that may be […]

Plan to Return Russian Diplomats to U.S. Poses Espionage Risk

As it moves to transform U.S. relations with Russia, the Trump administration is talking with Moscow about readmitting potentially scores of Russian diplomats into the United States after years of expulsions. But the good-will gesture, which would be reciprocated by Moscow, could be a kind of Trojan horse, experts and diplomats warn, as the Kremlin is likely to dispatch spies posing as diplomats to restore its diminished espionage capabilities within the United States. U.S. and Russian officials met in Istanbul last month to discuss returning more diplomats to each other’s countries after years of tit-for-tat expulsions and the shuttering of diplomatic facilities. The midlevel talks, part of a rapid rapprochement between the Kremlin and the White House under President Trump, took place at the U.S. consul’s residence. Days earlier in Riyadh, a U.S. delegation headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio […]
