Trump extends U.S. control over Latin America in less than two years

Since Donald Trump returned to the White House, a little over a year and a half ago, the United States has managed to control the Western Hemisphere, through military and political means, one of the ambitions stated in the National Security Strategy, published in December 2025, which emphasized that the American continent should be the sphere of influence of the United States and that any “foreign interference” should be expelled, in a clear reference to the persistent influence of China in Latin America.

Moderate Democrats claim a third way against the rise of socialism in the U.S.

When the young socialist Zohran Mamdani won the mayoralty of New York last year, a revolutionary hope swept through the left wing of the Democratic Party.

Six months earlier, on February 28, 2025, in an unusual reprimand broadcast live from the Oval Office of the White House, the US president had insisted to Volodymyr Zelensky that he had to accept a ceasefire, under draconian conditions imposed by Moscow. “You are not in a good position, you don’t have the cards,” Trump repeated to him again and again. A tense scene that history will remember.

Five years later, life remains on hold for Afghan women

Roya* speaks softly, in impeccable English that she says she learned by listening to American pop music, something she would never admit in front of her mother. The video call on Instagram cuts out for a moment. The sisters need a VPN, a virtual private network, to access social networks, as local operators restrict traffic from applications like Instagram and Facebook. The image returns. From a tidy room in Kabul province, the 23-year-old recalls what she calls “the worst day of my life.”
