Trump posts self as ‘acting president’ of Venezuela

US President Donald Trump has shared a doctored image on his Truth Social account describing himself as the “Acting President of Venezuela, incumbent January 2026.” The graphic, styled to look like a Wikipedia page, lists him as both the 45th and 47th US president and claims he now leads the South American country.​ The post comes days after a US military operation in Caracas that saw Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores captured and flown to New York to face drug and weapons related charges. Trump has said his administration will “run” Venezuela and oversee its oil assets during what he calls a transition period.​ Despite Trump’s online claim, no international body or foreign government has recognised him as Venezuela’s acting leader. The country’s actual acting president is Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, who has rejected US authority […]

Russia escorts tanker tracked by US in Atlantic

Russia has deployed naval assets to escort an oil tanker that is also being tracked by US forces as it transits the Atlantic, according to reports from CBS News. The vessel, previously known as Bella 1 and now operating under the name Marinera, is currently navigating waters between Iceland and the British Isles. The tanker has a history of transporting Venezuelan crude oil, although it is presently declaring that it is not carrying any cargo. US authorities have accused the ship of violating American sanctions by transporting Iranian oil. In recent weeks, the vessel reportedly changed its name and reflagged from Guyana to Russia, a move analysts say does not alter its legal or sanctions status. Last month, President Donald Trump announced a “blockade” targeting sanctioned oil tankers entering or leaving Venezuela, a policy denounced by Caracas as an act […]

Venezuela experts condemn US strike and Maduro’s capture

Nigeria’s foreign policy community has sharply criticised the recent United States military strike in Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro.​Experts say the action violates international law, undermines national sovereignty and risks destabilising Latin America.​ What NIIA and experts said The Nigerian Institute of International Affairs and other foreign policy scholars described the operation as a dangerous precedent.​They warned that the use of force to remove a sitting leader, even one accused of serious crimes, erodes global norms built to prevent unilateral interventions.​ Concerns over international law Analysts argued that the strike breached the UN Charter principles on non-use of force and non-interference in the internal affairs of states.​They stressed that accountability for alleged narco-terrorism or human rights abuses should follow legal, multilateral processes, not unilateral military action.​ Risks for Africa and global order The experts cautioned that accepting […]

Venezuela, Russia, China and UK voices urge US to free Maduro

Venezuela, Russia, China and political voices in the United Kingdom have called on the United States to release Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, after their capture in a US military operation over the weekend. At an emergency UN Security Council session in New York requested by Caracas, the Venezuelan government and its allies denounced the raid as a violation of the UN Charter and a dangerous precedent for the international order.​ Russia told the Council that the US action signalled a return to an era of lawlessness and domination by force, accusing Washington of acting as a self appointed global judge for political and economic gain. China said no country could claim to be the world’s police or international judge and warned that using military force as a solution would only deepen crises and erode the […]

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 […]

China urges US to immediately free captured Venezuelan president Maduro

China has called on the United States to immediately release Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife after U.S. forces seized and flew them out of Venezuela in a large scale operation announced by President Donald Trump.​A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said Beijing is gravely concerned and described the move as a clear violation of international law, basic norms of international relations and the principles of the UN Charter.​ Beijing urged Washington to ensure Maduro and his wife’s personal safety, release them at once, stop trying to topple the Venezuelan government and return to resolving differences through dialogue and negotiation.​China said the U.S. strikes and capture of a sitting president amount to “hegemonic behaviour” that undermines Venezuela’s sovereignty and threatens peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean.​ Chinese state media and officials warned that when “the law of […]

Starmer cautious on legality of US action in Venezuela

Sir Keir Starmer has declined to say whether the United States’ military operation in Venezuela breached international law, stating that he is still awaiting full details of the action. Speaking on the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme on Saturday, the prime minister avoided condemning the US strikes, explaining that the situation was evolving and that key facts were still unclear.

Venezuela Tells UN US Has Continental Ambitions

Venezuela has accused the United States of pursuing a broader strategy aimed at asserting dominance across Latin America, warning the United Nations Security Council that Washington’s actions go far beyond its dispute with Caracas. Speaking before the 15-member council, Venezuela’s ambassador to the UN, Samuel Moncada, said the pressure campaign against President Nicolás Maduro’s government reflects what he described as “continental ambitions” outlined in US strategic thinking. According to Moncada, Venezuela is being used as an initial target in a wider plan designed to fragment the region and weaken governments one by one. He cited the US National Security Strategy, arguing that it openly frames the future of the Americas as falling under US influence. The remarks came after Venezuela requested an emergency Security Council meeting to address what it calls ongoing US aggression, including air strikes launched in September […]

Trump Announces ‘Golden Fleet’ as US Plans Trump-Class Battleships to Expand Navy

President Donald Trump has unveiled plans to commission a new class of heavily armed US Navy battleships under what he calls the “Golden Fleet,” a move that signals both an ambitious military expansion and a bold political statement. The proposed vessels, branded the Trump-class and led by the USS Defiant, are expected to form the backbone of a renewed naval strategy aimed at restoring American maritime dominance. Speaking at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida alongside senior defence officials, Trump said construction on the first two ships would begin soon, with a long-term goal of building up to 25 battleships. He described the vessels as the fastest, largest, and most powerful warships ever produced by the United States, claiming they would be equipped with hypersonic and other high-impact weapon systems. Strategic context: catching up with China The announcement comes amid growing […]

Venezuela slams Trump’s ‘total blockade’ threat

Venezuela has condemned US President Donald Trump’s order for a “total and complete” blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers heading to the country, calling it a “warmongering” threat and a grave danger to peace in South America. The move is part of Washington’s effort to increase pressure on President Nicolas Maduro’s government.​ The escalation follows the recent seizure of an oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast and a significant build-up of US military forces in the region. In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused Venezuela of using oil revenue to fund drug trafficking and other crimes and vowed to expand the military presence until Caracas hands over oil, land and other assets he claims were “stolen” from the United States.​ Trump wrote that Venezuela is “completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America” and […]
