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 […]

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 […]

Trump unveils strategy to shift US military focus closer to home

President Donald Trump has released a new national security strategy that calls for a major realignment of United States military deployments around the world.​ The document proposes a “readjustment” of the US global military presence, moving more forces and assets toward the Western Hemisphere to tackle what it describes as urgent regional threats, including migration, drug cartels and instability in Latin America and the Caribbean.​ According to the strategy, the US will gradually scale back its footprint in some overseas theatres, while boosting Coast Guard and Navy patrols to control sea lanes, curb illegal and unwanted migration, and disrupt human and drug trafficking routes.​ The plan also places heavy emphasis on strengthening ties with governments across Latin America to secure strategic resources, expand US private sector investment and reinforce what the document frames as “Western identity” and traditional values.​ While […]

Peru declares Mexican president persona non grata over asylum row

Peru’s Congress voted on Thursday to declare Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum persona non grata after her government granted asylum to former Peruvian Prime Minister Betssy Chavez, who is on trial for allegedly aiding a 2022 coup attempt. The resolution, passed by a 63–33 vote, deepens a growing diplomatic rift between the two countries. Tensions escalated on Monday when Mexico approved asylum for Chavez, prompting Peru to sever formal diplomatic ties. Chavez served as prime minister in December 2022 under then-president Pedro Castillo, who was ousted and arrested after attempting to dissolve Congress during a political standoff. Peru’s acting Congress president, Fernando Rospigliosi, accused Sheinbaum of “interfering” in the country’s internal affairs, saying Mexico’s decision to shelter Chavez violated diplomatic norms.“It has been clearly established that President Sheinbaum interfered not only through statements but also through direct action by granting asylum,” […]
