Escalating tensions between the United States and Latin American countries marked the day, with the arrival of an American aircraft carrier prompting a call for “armed struggle” by Nicolás Maduro and the suspension of intelligence cooperation by Colombia. Meanwhile, in the USA, the Trump administration is advancing economic and immigration issues, at the same time that the former president is implicated in a new email in the Epstein case. The global scenario is also shaken by a new military agreement between Russia and North Korea and the arrest of a Hamas terrorist in Germany.
Tensions with the US intensify in Latin America
The US military presence in Latin America generated negative reactions. The arrival of the world’s largest aircraft carrier in the region motivated Nicolás Maduro, from Venezuela, to call for “readiness” for an armed struggle. In protest of attacks in the Caribbean and Pacific, Colombia suspended information sharing with the US. France also criticized an American operation against drug trafficking in the Caribbean region.
Trump administration advances on economic and immigration agendas
The U.S. House approved funding from the federal government. The decision ends a record shutdown period. In the economic area, President Donald Trump’s administration is preparing an announcement about new tariffs. Fees will apply to products such as coffee and fruit. A new immigration guideline could deny visas to people with obesity or chronic illnesses. In contrast, the president has advocated issuing H-1B visas to professionals with “certain talents.”
Geopolitical scenario has new alliances and tensions
Russia and North Korea reached an agreement to strengthen state propaganda. On another diplomatic front, President Trump asked for a pardon for Benjamin Netanyahu. The request was made in a letter to the president of Israel, citing a “political process”. In Europe, Germany arrested a Hamas terrorist who was planning attacks against Jews. At the same time, satellite images revealed secret military activities at a base in China.
Political crises deepen in South America and the USA
In Venezuela, opposition leader María Corina called for unity against Nicolás Maduro. She stated that the country is experiencing the “last hours of the regime”. In Peru, a former president was investigated for crimes against humanity. His wife had received asylum in Brazil during Lula’s government. In the US, the Democratic Party released an email attributed to Jeffrey Epstein. The message would claim that President Trump knew about the financier’s sex scheme.
