Gaza : Quelles conséquences aura le « Conseil de paix » de Trump? « Le Conseil de paix est une structure qui n’a aucune légitimité, il s’agit d’une nouvelle forme d’occupation, d’impérialisme économique majoritairement américain.

Quelles conséquences aura le « Conseil de paix » de Trump?

Le « Conseil de paix » de Donald Trump, vu par certains comme une structure sans légitimité ou comme un signe d'irresponsabilité de l'ONU, bouleverse le monde.

Gaza: Trump nomme Mark Carney à son Conseil de la paix pour Gaza et rejoint Tony Blair et Marco Rubio.

Ce Conseil de la paix pour Gaza est rempli de pièges mais Carney peut certainement jouer un rôle pour faire respecter les intérêts des Gazaouis.

Le Venezuela d’aujourd’hui s’inscrit dans une longue histoire d’interventions et de renversements de pouvoir en Amérique latine : Guatemala, Chili, Brésil, Panama, République dominicaine, Nicaragua, Bolivie. Une continuité historique plus qu’une exception

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 25d

Vice President JD Vance defended the legality of the U.S. military operation in Venezuela. “You don’t get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas,” Vance wrote on X.

Live updates: Trump says Maduro captured in ‘large scale strike’ against Venezuela

The United States launched a large-scale strike on Venezuela, captured its president, Nicolás Maduro and flew him out of the country, President Trump said.

Venezuela: Maduro est un dictateur corrompu qui réprime l’opposition démocratique. Mais la capture unilatérale par les États-Unis d’un dirigeant étranger viole tous les principes du droit international. Quid Poutine en Ukraine et Xi à Taïwan? Un moment sombre.

Adam Schwarz @adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 25d

The US Attorney General confirms Maduro is being charged with "conspiracy to possess machine guns" - something Republicans usually call a constitutional right.

Pam Bondi: Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been indicted in the Southern District of New York. Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States. They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts. On behalf of the entire U.S. DOJ, I would like to thank President Trump for having the courage to demand accountability on behalf of the American People, and a huge thank you to our brave military who conducted the incredible and highly successful mission to capture these two alleged international narco traffickers.
