Zelensky meets Pope, refines response to new US peace plan

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has met Pope Leo XIV in Italy as he prepares an updated response to a revised United States plan to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The meeting took place at the Pope’s country residence in Castel Gandolfo near Rome, during a wider European tour focused on talks with allies about war and peace efforts.​ Zelensky said Washington had cut its original 28-point proposal to 20 points after intensive talks with Ukrainian officials over the weekend. He explained that Ukrainian and European negotiators will now work through those 20 points and that Kyiv will send its formal, revised position to the United States soon.​ According to Zelensky, the main obstacles in the US plan involve possible territorial concessions and the level of long-term security guarantees for Ukraine. He stressed that Ukraine has no legal or moral right […]

US slams visa ban on Nigerians linked to anti-Christian attacks

The United States has announced new visa bans targeting Nigerians accused of involvement in anti-Christian violence and other serious violations of religious freedom.​ US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the restrictions would apply to individuals who knowingly direct, authorise, fund, support or carry out attacks and abuses against Christians and other religious minorities, as well as to their immediate family members.​ He explained that the decision was a response to mass killings and violence linked to radical Islamist groups, Fulani militias and other armed actors in Nigeria, and warned that the same policy could be used against abusers in other countries.​ The visa measures are being implemented under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the US Immigration and Nationality Act, which allows Washington to deny entry to foreign nationals whose presence is considered against US foreign policy or security interests.​ Although the […]

Kremlin open to multiple Ukraine talks with US

The Kremlin has said Russia is ready to hold as many rounds of talks with the United States as necessary on the war in Ukraine following recent high-level contacts between the two countries.​ Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that no single meeting could solve all issues, but stressed that Moscow was prepared to continue discussions if Washington showed “political will” to seek a settlement.​ Peskov repeated Russia’s position that any negotiations must take account of what it calls “new realities on the ground”, a reference to Ukrainian territories claimed and occupied by Russian forces.​ He also argued that the involvement of the US and other Western states in supplying weapons to Kyiv was prolonging the conflict, while insisting that Moscow remained open to dialogue on security guarantees and broader stability in Europe.​ The comments come amid renewed diplomatic activity […]

US halts immigration applications from 19 countries

The United States government has announced a temporary halt to immigration applications from 19 countries, citing security, documentation, and cooperation concerns with the affected states.​ US officials said the move targets countries that have failed to meet required standards on identity verification, information sharing, or the repatriation of their citizens who are ordered to leave the US.​ The suspension affects several categories of immigration, including some family-based, work-related, and other visa programmes, although limited exemptions may apply for humanitarian or urgent cases.​ Authorities stressed that the measure is under ongoing review and could be lifted once the listed countries improve cooperation on security checks, travel documents, and migration management.​ Governments of the affected nations have been formally notified and urged to work with US agencies to resolve outstanding issues and restore full immigration processing as soon as possible.

US Green Card Review Hits 10 African Countries

The United States government has ordered a sweeping review of all Green Cards issued to immigrants from 19 countries, including 10 in Africa, following the November 26 attack on National Guard troops in Washington, D.C. The Trump administration announced the move after the detained suspect was identified as a 29 year old Afghan who had previously worked with US forces and was granted asylum in April 2025, not permanent residency.​ In a directive posted on X, US Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Edlow said President Donald Trump had ordered a rigorous re examination of every Green Card held by immigrants from designated “countries of concern.” He stressed that protecting Americans was paramount and blamed what he described as the prior administration’s “reckless resettlement policies” for current risks.​ Under the new policy, USCIS officers can now apply “negative, country specific […]

US freezes asylum decisions after National Guard killing

The United States has frozen all asylum decisions after an Afghan national allegedly shot two National Guard members near the White House, killing one and critically injuring the other. President Donald Trump used the attack to harden his anti-migrant stance, vowing to “permanently pause” immigration from what he calls “third world countries” and to roll back millions of admissions approved under former President Joe Biden.​ US Citizenship and Immigration Services director Joseph Edlow said his agency had “suspended all asylum rulings” until officials can guarantee that every foreign national is vetted and screened to the “fullest extent possible.” The State Department, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, also announced a pause on issuing visas to anyone travelling on Afghan passports, citing national security concerns.​ Authorities have identified the shooting suspect as 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan who once served […]

Iran to boycott 2026 World Cup draw over US visa row

Iran says it will boycott the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw in the United States, protesting visa restrictions that could prevent its officials from attending the ceremony. The draw is scheduled to take place in the US, one of the three co-hosts of the 2026 tournament alongside Canada and Mexico.​ Iranian football authorities argue that current US entry rules and political tensions could stop members of their delegation from securing visas. They insist that all qualified teams should be guaranteed equal access to attend official FIFA events, including the final draw.​ Officials in Tehran say they have raised their concerns with FIFA, warning that hosting a major football event in a country with strict visa limits undermines the principle of fairness. They contend that sports events should remain neutral spaces, free from political pressure or discrimination.​ The boycott threat adds […]

Trump Announces Fast-Track Visas for World Cup Ticket Holders

President Donald Trump has unveiled a new fast-track visa scheme for people holding tickets to the 2026 World Cup in the United States. The announcement was made at the Oval Office alongside FIFA president Gianni Infantino. The initiative promises prioritized visa appointments for football fans from around the world. Ticket holders will receive expedited interviews, usually within six to eight weeks. However, US officials made it clear that having a ticket provides only a faster interview—admission is still subject to standard vetting and is not guaranteed. Trump encouraged fans to apply early for their visas to avoid last-minute delays. The move aims to offer a smooth experience for international visitors, though concerns remain about strict border policies possibly affecting entry. FIFA president Infantino supported the scheme, stating that it will help millions of genuine football fans attend the World Cup […]

Baba-Ahmed urges Tinubu to address Nigerians on Trump’s threat

Former Presidential Adviser, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has urged President Bola Tinubu to personally address Nigerians following the recent military threat issued by United States President Donald Trump. In a statement posted on his Facebook page on Thursday, Baba-Ahmed expressed worry over the President’s continued silence after Trump accused Nigeria of allowing the killing of Christians and warned of a possible U.S. military response. He said the President’s failure to speak directly to Nigerians could be perceived as a sign of weakness at a time when decisive leadership and reassurance are needed. “If President Tinubu truly has capable advisers and understands the weight of his office, he should have spoken to Nigerians by now,” Baba-Ahmed said. “This is not the time for ministers or aides to issue statements. The President himself should reassure the country, clarify Nigeria’s position, and outline the steps […]
