Zelenskiy: Territorial issue on table at UAE trilateral talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says the vital question of territory in Ukraine’s war with Russia will be discussed at U.S.‑brokered trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi on Friday and Saturday. Kyiv faces growing pressure from Washington to strike a peace deal in the nearly four‑year conflict, while Moscow is demanding that Ukraine give up the entire eastern Donbas region before halting its offensive.​ Speaking in a WhatsApp media chat a day after what he and U.S. President Donald Trump described as positive talks, Zelenskiy said the status of Donbas would be a central focus of the UAE meeting. “The issue of Donbas is key,” he said, adding that the talks would examine how all three sides view the territorial question.​ An aide to Zelenskiy said discussions would start on Friday evening. A major sticking point remains Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demand […]

Trump sends US ‘armada’ toward Gulf amid Iran tensions

President Donald Trump says a US “armada” is heading toward the Gulf as Washington keeps a close watch on Iran despite recently playing down the prospect of imminent military action. He told reporters on Air Force One, returning from the World Economic Forum in Davos, that the United States was sending a “massive fleet” toward Iran “just in case”, adding that he would rather avoid conflict but was monitoring Tehran “very closely”.​ Trump has repeatedly kept open the option of new strikes on Iran after backing Israel’s 12 day war in June aimed at degrading Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities. He said in Davos that US attacks on Iranian uranium enrichment sites last year were intended to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon, something Iran denies.​ The latest remarks come after weeks of seesaw rhetoric, with Trump at […]

US presses Nigeria to do more to protect Christians

The United States has told Nigeria it must do more to protect Christians as senior officials from both countries meet in Abuja for high level security talks. The comments follow the reported mass kidnapping of worshippers from several churches in Kaduna State, an incident that has triggered local and international concern.​ Allison Hooker, US under secretary of state for political affairs and head of the American delegation, said Nigeria’s government must guarantee that Christians can practise their faith freely and safely. She directly referenced the alleged abduction of more than 170 people from churches in Kajuru Local Government Area.​ Hooker’s remarks reflect the priority US President Donald Trump has placed on what he calls “genocide” and “persecution” of Christians in Nigeria. Washington’s framing has been rejected by the Nigerian government and many analysts, who note that both Muslims and Christians […]

US talks with hardline Venezuelan minister Cabello began months before raid

Officials in President Donald Trump’s administration were in quiet contact with Venezuela’s hardline interior minister Diosdado Cabello months before the US raid that seized President Nicolas Maduro on January 3, and those communications have continued since. Multiple sources say the talks were aimed at preventing further instability and focused on urging the 62‑year‑old power broker not to deploy security forces or ruling‑party militias against opposition supporters.​ Cabello controls key elements of Venezuela’s security apparatus, including intelligence services, police and parts of the armed forces, which have largely remained intact after Maduro’s removal. He is named in the same US drug‑trafficking indictment used to justify Maduro’s arrest, yet he was not detained in the operation, and discussions with Washington have also touched on sanctions and the criminal charges he faces.​ US officials see Cabello’s stance as critical to the survival of […]

US lawmakers arrive in Copenhagen to counter Trump’s Greenland threats

A bipartisan delegation of US lawmakers has arrived in Copenhagen to reassure Denmark and Greenland of strong congressional support amid President Donald Trump’s renewed threats to seize the Arctic island. Trump has called Greenland vital to US national security because of its strategic location and mineral wealth and has refused to rule out the possible use of force to acquire it.​ The 11‑member delegation is led by Democratic Senator Chris Coons and includes Republicans such as Senators Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski, who have publicly pushed back against any military move on Greenland. They plan to meet Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic leaders to deliver a clear message that Congress stands firmly with NATO allies and supports Denmark’s sovereignty over the territory.​ Their visit follows high‑level talks in Washington between Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, Greenland’s Foreign […]

Turkey opposes military operations against Iran

Turkey says it is against any military operation against Iran, warning that foreign intervention would only deepen crises in the country and across the Middle East. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told journalists in Istanbul that Iran’s internal problems must be resolved by Iranians themselves, not imposed from outside.​ Fidan said Ankara does not want instability in neighbouring Iran, even though it recognises there are serious issues within Iranian society and government. He cautioned that attempts by the United States or Israel to use force would likely worsen tensions and trigger wider regional conflict.​​ The minister noted that the current protests in Iran stem from legitimate grievances, but that they are also being exploited by Iran’s external enemies. He said Turkey’s priority is to encourage dialogue and a negotiated understanding between Washington and Tehran, which he described as crucial for regional […]

US immigration officer shoots Venezuelan man in Minneapolis

A US federal immigration officer has shot and wounded a Venezuelan man during an enforcement operation in north Minneapolis, intensifying tensions in a city already on edge over recent immigration raids. City officials confirmed the shooting and urged residents to remain calm, while again calling on US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to leave the city and the state.​ According to the Department of Homeland Security, ICE officers tried to stop the man, described as “an illegal alien from Venezuela,” during a targeted traffic operation. Officials say he fled in his vehicle, crashed into another car, then tried to escape on foot before resisting arrest and “violently” attacking an officer.​ DHS said two other people emerged from a nearby apartment and joined the struggle, allegedly hitting the officer with a snow shovel and broom handle. The officer then fired what DHS […]

US delivers critical military assets to battle terrorists, bandits

Nigeria’s fight against terrorists and bandits has received a major boost with the delivery of critical military assets from the United States. US Africa Command said the equipment was handed over in Abuja to support ongoing security operations against terrorists and other non state armed groups.​ AFRICOM described the shipment as “critical military supplies” but did not disclose the specific platforms or weapons involved. The command said the delivery underscores the strong security partnership between both countries and is aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s frontline capabilities.​ The new support follows US assisted “precision hits” on ISIS affiliated Islamic State West Africa Province targets in Jabo, Tangaza Local Government Area of Sokoto State on December 24. Those airstrikes, carried out in coordination with the Nigerian military, destroyed a terrorist camp and were conducted at the request of Nigerian authorities.​ Nigeria’s Chief of […]

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 […]
