Donald Trump posted this Tuesday on his Truth Social network a map in which the Strait of Hormuz appears described as “new U.S. territory,” thus resuming an idea he had already expressed in recent days. The president spoke for the first time of “U.S. territory” to refer to this strategic commercial artery last week, during a rally and in a tone that made it seem like a joke.

A United States federal appeals court ruled this Friday that Donald Trump does not have the authority to destroy the East Wing of the White House and build a ballroom there without the approval of Congress.

Increasing unease over the Ebola outbreak in the heart of Africa. The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) expressed today his “deep concern” over the “speed and magnitude” of the epidemic that emerged on April 24 in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo and has already recorded cases in highly populated cities such as Goma, the capital of North Kivu province, and even in the capital of neighboring Uganda, Kampala.

For Giorgia Meloni, the Ceuta crisis is not a problem. It is for Pedro Sánchez – and a serious one – but not for the Italian prime minister, who has clearly exaggerated the risk that a portion of the 8,000 immigrants still accumulating in the Spanish enclave – the vast majority of the more than 70,000 who stormed the Spanish border on July 30 and 31 immediately turned back – could end up reaching Italy. More concerning for Meloni is the constant flow of irregular immigrants who continue to arrive through the south of her country, via the central Mediterranean route: through this route, 16,454 people arrived in Europe between January and July, a number higher than those who entered through Spain combining all routes (11,537 via the Mediterranean and 2,856 via the Canary Islands), according to the latest Frontex data.
