President Donald Trump addressed leaders at a NATO summit in the Netherlands Wednesday as the tenuous ceasefire between Israel and Iran continued to hold for a second day. Trump said the U.S. would be holding talks with Iran sometime next week, though he added he didn't think a new nuclear agreement was actually necessary because ‘the war's done.' While the administration continues to fight reports that Iran's nuclear program remains anything short of “totally obliterated,' there's still an ongoing debate within the broader MAGA world about the wisdom of the strikes in the first place. Sohrab Ahmari, U.S. editor for the British news and opinion outlet UnHerd, talks about what the strikes ultimately say about the MAGA foreign policy doctrine.And in headlines: Attorney General Pam Bondi denied knowledge that federal agents were wearing masks during immigration raids, Trump appeared to inch closer to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in its ongoing war with Russia, and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's political future remains uncertain after a resounding loss to State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani in Tuesday's Democratic mayoral primary.Show Notes:Check out Sohrab's piece – https://tinyurl.com/2kehejpzSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
President Trump has the stage at NATO. How the Iran missile launch onto the U.S. base went down. The consensus on the Iranian strikes seems to be that a lot of damage was done on that country's nuclear sites. Not shocking: Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) doesn't understand simple terms. A vice mayor in California is urging gangs to push back on federal immigration authorities. "Alligator Alcatraz" is apparently happening in Florida!

Israel kills over 100 Palestinians in Gaza "Israel has killed more than 100 Palestinians in last 24 hours, including many aid seekers, and wounded hundreds others in besieged Gaza. Meanwhile,the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has warned that Palestinians in Gaza face a severe water crisis threatening them with death from thirst, as Israeli strikes and fuel restrictions have crippled the enclave's water infrastructure. " Trump open to Iran nuclear talks " President Donald Trump has said the United States will hold talks with Iran over its nuclear programme next week, following a 12-day conflict with Israel that drew in the US and left hundreds dead and wounded. Trump claimed recent US air strikes had led to the ""total obliteration"" of Iran's nuclear capabilities, setting the programme back ""decades"". He added that the ceasefire he announced earlier in the week was ""going very well."" However, a leaked US intelligence assessment seen by American media suggested the strikes may have delayed Iran's nuclear efforts by only a few months." Israeli military, illegal Zionist settlers kill four Palestinians in occupied West Bank "Israeli military and illegal Zionist settlers have killed at least four Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Three Palestinians were killed in Kafr Malik, a village northeast of Ramallah, where dozens of illegal Israeli settlers stormed the area, set vehicles on fire and attacked residents. At least seven others were wounded, including one person in critical condition." Kenya protests turn deadly "Sixteen protesters were killed and at least 400 wounded, with 83 in serious condition, following protests across Kenya. A rights group said most were killed by police. Protests raged across at least 23 counties and coincided with the first anniversary of demonstrations opposing tax hikes that left 60 people dead and 20 others missing." Zelenskyy seeks to buy US air defence systems "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he had discussed buying US air-defence systems with President Donald Trump during their meeting on the sidelines of NATO's summit in The Hague. He added that Kiev was ready to buy this equipment and support American weapons manufacturers and the two leaders have also discussed a potential joint drone production. "

An intimate, affecting account of life during wartime, told through the lives that have been shattered. Even as scores of Americans rally to the Ukrainian cause and adopt Volodymyr Zelensky as a hero, the lives of Ukrainians remain opaque and mostly anonymous. In By the Second Spring, the historian Danielle Leavitt goes beyond familiar portraits of wartime heroism and victimhood to reveal the human experience of the conflict. An American who grew up in Ukraine, Leavitt draws on her deep familiarity with the country and a unique trove of online diaries to track a diverse group of Ukrainians through the first year of Russia's full-scale invasion. Among others, we meet Vitaly, whose plans to open a coffee bar in a Kyiv suburb come to naught when the Russian army marches through his town and his apartment building is split in two by a rocket; Anna, who drops out of the police academy and begins a tumultuous relationship with a soldier she meets online; and Polina, a fashion-industry insider who returns home from Los Angeles with her American husband to organize relief. To illuminate the complex resurgence of Ukraine's national spirit, Leavitt also tells the story of Volodymyr Shovkoshitniy—a nuclear engineer at Chernobyl who went on to lead a daring campaign in the late 1980s to return the bodies of three Ukrainian writers who'd died in a Soviet gulag. Writing with closeness and compassion, Leavitt has given us an interior history of Europe's largest land war in seventy-five years. Learn more about your ad choices.

C dans l'air du 25 juin 2025 - Comment Trump a fait plier l'Otan? - Arrivé aux Pays-Bas pour un sommet crucial de l'OTAN réunissant les 32 dirigeants de l'Alliance, Donald Trump s'est félicité, ce mercredi, d'un engagement inédit des alliés : investir massivement dans leur défense. Les Européens et le Canada devraient "très bientôt" dépenser autant que les États-Unis. "Je leur demande de passer à 5 % depuis des années, et ils passent à 5 %. C'est énorme (...). L'OTAN va devenir très forte avec nous", a lancé, triomphant, le président américain.Derrière cette "grande victoire" clamée par Donald Trump, nombre d'experts y voient pourtant un accord de façade, destiné à apaiser le président des Etats-Unis, qui ne cesse de dénoncer les "mauvais payeurs" européens. Car les fameux 5 % du PIB promis d'ici la fin de la décennie sont en réalité divisés : 3,5 % pour la défense militaire stricte, et 1,5 % pour la sécurité au sens large (police, justice, cybersécurité, etc.), avec des modalités et un calendrier qui restent flous.Ce sommet, soigneusement chorégraphié, vise surtout à éviter un nouvel esclandre. On se souvient du coup d'éclat du président américain lors du G7 en juin dernier, qu'il a quitté prématurément. Donald Trump, depuis son retour à la Maison-Blanche, n'a cessé de réclamer des alliés européens et du Canada qu'ils dépensent beaucoup plus pour leur sécurité, faute de quoi il menace de ne plus les défendre.Pris en étau entre la menace russe et l'unilatéralisme assumé de Washington, les Européens multiplient les gestes de bonne volonté. Mais une question demeure : l'Amérique est-elle encore un allié fiable ? Hier, à bord d'Air Force One, Donald Trump a de nouveau déconcerté ses alliés, en restant évasif sur l'attitude des Etats-Unis en cas d'attaque d'un des membres de l'Otan. L'article 5 du traité de l'Alliance Atlantique peut "se définir de plusieurs façons", a-t-il lâché à propos de la pierre angulaire de l'Otan qui pose le principe de défense mutuelle : si un pays membre est attaqué, tous les autres se portent à son secours.Autre moment scruté de la journée : la rencontre entre Donald Trump et Volodymyr Zelensky, en marge du sommet. Le président ukrainien espère arracher de nouvelles sanctions contre Moscou, et surtout des armes. Leurs relations sont compliquées, on se souvient de leur échange dans le Bureau ovale, il y a quatre mois. Les paroles de Donald Trump vont être une nouvelle fois scrutées… Tout comme les premiers pas du nouveau chancelier allemand Friedrich Merz, qui a rompu avec l'orthodoxie budgétaire de son pays et se verrait bien assumer le leadership en Europe.LES EXPERTS :- James ANDRE - Grand reporter - France 24- Général Olivier DE BAVINCHOVE - Ancien chef d'état-major de la force internationale de l'OTAN - Marion VAN RENTERGHEM - Grand reporter, chroniqueuse - L'Express - Vincent HUGEUX - Journaliste spécialiste des enjeux internationaux, enseignant à Sciences Po- Camille GRAND ( en duplex du sommet de l'OTAN de La Haye) - Ancien secrétaire général adjoint de l'OTAN

Allies can breathe a sigh of relief. The same Donald Trump who left the G7 summit early showed up on time for the NATO summit in the Netherlands – an abridged summit to curry favour and keep his undivided attention. The US president played with members' nerves, entertaining suspense over the United States' commitment to NATO's Article 5 but in the end reaffirming support for the Alliance's "all for one and one for all" clause in case of attack. After a victory lap over Iran, Trump was all smiles over Alliance members' commitment to boost defence spending to 5 percent of GDP. It also emerged that Britain is buying 12 F-35A fighter jets made in the USA. That's music to Trump's ears, but how will the announcement go down with the likes of France, which has been arguing for Europe to reduce its dependency on Washington? And then there's Ukraine. Trump, in the end, took the meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky. But there, too, there were mixed messages: both when it comes to Russia's relentless campaign of aggression and the benefit of the doubt so often granted by Trump to Vladimir Putin. Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Elisa Amiri, Ilayda Habip.
AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to formally approve plans to establish a new international court to prosecute senior Russian officials for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Christopher Luxon says New Zealand is determined to continue to put pressure on Russia over the war in Ukraine. Correspondent Jamie Tahana spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. China has never condemned the invasion, and its government and media have carefully avoided using term “Ukraine War,” opting instead to refer to the war as the “Ukraine crisis,” the “Russia-Ukraine conflict,” or the “special military operation,” a term that echoes Moscow's language. Beijing's approach to the Ukraine War has included support for Russia, a commitment China's own principles, including respecting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a professed desire for peace.This episode's discussion will focus on China's evolving posture toward the war and China's relationship with Ukraine. Joining the podcast this episode is Dr. Vita Golod, who is a Junior Research Fellow at the A. Yu Krymskyi Institute of Oriental Studies, National Academy Sciences of Ukraine, and a Visiting Adjunct Instructor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.She is also the co-founder of the Ukrainian Platform for Contemporary China and a board member of the Ukrainian Association of Sinologists.

Renowned actor, writer and director Liev Schreiber recently released “Meeting Zelenskyy”, a feature documentary in which he sits down with Ukraine's embattled leader. In an extended conversation, Schreiber speaks actor-to-actor about Volodymyr Zelenskyy's rise from entertainer to war time leader.

The film includes never-before-seen footage from Zelenskyy's childhood and career. Join us for this historic conversation, plus a commentary from Laura.“I've always felt optimistic about this because [Ukraine is] on the side of truth. That's the kind of thing you can cover briefly, but it always comes out, it always surfaces. It's also the kind of thing that builds morale. It builds courage. It builds principle. They have that on their side, where the Russian military is struggling.” - Liev Schreiber“This was never about Ukraine for me. This was always about American values and democracy and what it is, where it comes from and what it means. I don't think those values and those principles are on display anywhere more clearly than in Ukraine.” - Liev Schreiber“I've always felt optimistic about this because [Ukraine is] on the side of truth.

C dans l'air du 18 juin 2025 - L'Iran est-il vraiment proche d'obtenir la bombe nucléaire ?Voilà cinq jours que l'Iran est sous les bombes israéliennes et les signes d'escalade se multiplient. Le président américain Donald Trump est allé jusqu'à appeler, hier, à la "capitulation sans conditions" de la République islamique. Il a même assuré que les États-Unis pouvaient aisément tuer le guide suprême iranien Ali Khamenei. Ce dernier a proclamé que son pays "ne se rendra jamais" et mis en garde les Etats-Unis contre des "dommages irréparables" en cas d'intervention dans le conflit.Pour l'heure, les frappes israéliennes ont déjà fait plus de 200 morts et plus de 1200 blessés. Le monde reste suspendu aux paroles de Donald Trump. Hier, en rentrant en avion du G7, le président américain a démenti les informations de sa cheffe du renseignement, Tulsi Gabbard qui estimait en mars devant le Congrès que l'Iran ne possédait pas la bombe nucléaire : "Je me fiche de ce qu'elle a dit", a rétorqué le président à une journaliste qui l'interrogeait. Si L'Iran ne dispose pour l'instant que d'uranium enrichi à 60%, là où le seuil requis s'élève à 90% pour obtenir l'arme nucléaire, la France, l'Allemagne et le Royaume-Uni ont estimé jeudi dernier que l'Iran pourrait avoir la capacité de produire "plus de neuf" bombes nucléaires. Mais avec l'opacité entretenue par le régime iranien, impossible de savoir si ces projections sont vraiment crédibles.Acculé, affaibli, le régime iranien continue de menacer, à commencer par fermer le détroit d'Ormuz, par lequel transitent 20% du pétrole mondial et 30% du Gaz naturel liquéfié. Sardar Esmail Kowsari, commandant des Gardiens de la Révolution, a déclaré que cette option était "à l'étude". Son application plongerait le monde dans une grave crise économique. En fin de semaine dernière, lorsque les premières bombes israéliennes sont tombées sur l'Iran, les cours du pétrole ont flambé, avant de se stabiliser. Large d'environ 50 kilomètres, le détroit s'étend d'Oman à l'Iran. L'Iran, lui-même producteur important de pétrole, serait évidemment impacté par la fermeture de ce passage stratégique. Selon Le Figaro, 95% des barils iraniens sont exportés vers la Chine, et transitent par ce passage maritime.Pendant ce temps, à l'autre bout de l'Europe, Volodymyr Zelensky s'inquiète. Le président ukrainien craint que l'attention focalisée sur le Moyen-Orient n'affecte encore plus le soutien militaire à l'Ukraine. Samedi dernier, il a appelé à ce que "l'aide à l'Ukraine ne diminue pas pour cette raison", comme ce fut le cas lors de la précédente altercation entre Israël et l'Iran en octobre 2024. Présent au G7 en début de semaine, il n'a pu que constater le manque d'intérêt de l'administration américaine pour sa cause, et a quitté le rassemblement mardi au lendemain du départ précipité de Donald Trump. "La diplomatie est désormais en état de crise", a-t-il lâché. D'autant que la Russie semble profiter de la guerre au Moyen-Orient pour avancer ses pions. Dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi, elle a lancé une vaste attaque de drones sur Kiev, faisant 24 morts et plus de 130 blessés. Le président ukrainien, a déclaré qu'il s'agissait de "l'une des attaques les plus horribles sur Kiev" et a appelé à un soutien international plus fort pour aider l'Ukraine à se défendre. Cette nuit, un nouvel essaim de 58 drones a frappé les oblasts de Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk et Zaporijia.Où en est le programme nucléaire iranien ?Quelles conséquences aurait une fermeture du détroit d'Ormuz sur l'économie mondiale ?Et comment la Russie profite-t-elle du chaos au Moyen-Orient pour avancer ses pions ?LES EXPERTS :- Général Jean-Paul PALOMEROS - Ancien chef d'état-major, ancien commandant suprême de la transformation de l'OTAN- Patricia ALLÉMONIÉRE - Grand reporter, spécialiste des questions internationales- Anthony BELLANGER - Éditorialiste - Franceinfo TV, spécialiste des questions internationales- David RIGOULET-ROZE - Chercheur associé à l'IRIS, rédacteur en chef de la revue "Orients stratégiques", auteur de "La République islamique d'Iran en crise systémique"- Marc-Antoine EYL-MAZZEGA – En duplex - Directeur du centre énergie et climat de l'Ifri
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is warning "diplomacy in crisis", after leaving the G7 Summit without securing any further military support due to the absence of US President Donald Trump. The G7 leaders also failed to produce major agreements on conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East following Mr Trump's departure. While Australia missed out on a leader-level meeting with the strategic ally, its relationship with the European Union has warmed up.
International relations expert Dr Oscar van Heerden joins Crystal Orderson to unpack the key outcomes and controversies from the 2025 G7 Summit, held in Kananaskis, Canada. From Donald Trump’s abrupt departure amid the escalating Israel-Iran conflict to muted support for Ukraine and tensions surrounding India’s presence, this year’s gathering was anything but routine.

Na sequência do pior ataque sofrido pelo Irão em 40 anos, às mãos de Israel, o episódio desta semana do podcast Diplomatas (PÚBLICO e IPRI-NOVA) foca-se no conflito directo entre duas das principais potências do Médio Oriente, na forma como ele é entendido pelos líderes políticos de ambas as partes e na potencial resposta dos Estados Unidos a mais um eixo de instabilidade na região. Teresa de Sousa sublinha que, “ao contrário da guerra em Gaza, que se prolonga e que atinge níveis de violência contra os palestinianos absolutamente desumanos e intoleráveis”, a “obsessão” de Benjamin Netanyahu, primeiro-ministro israelita, com o Irão, reúne apoio popular em Israel. Com Donald Trump a garantir que os EUA não querem, “por enquanto”, “matar” o Guia Supremo da República Islâmica, Ali Khamenei, mas sem excluir uma potencial participação norte-americana no conflito, ao lado de Israel, a jornalista lembra que só os EUA é que têm capacidade para desmantelar o programa nuclear iraniano através de meios militares. Noutra linha de raciocínio, o investigador Carlos Gaspar acredita que “se a derrota do Irão for decisiva, a queda do regime é inevitável”, até, argumenta, tendo em conta o facto de Israel estar a “decapitar o centro de decisão militar” iraniano, criando “um vazio do poder à volta” de Khamenei. Do Médio Oriente passamos para Kananaskis, no Canadá, palco da cimeira do G7, que só contou com Trump no primeiro dia, não permitindo novo encontro com Volodymyr Zelensky, Presidente da Ucrânia. Tirando o “número” protagonizado pelo líder norte-americano, Carlos Gaspar salienta o “parágrafo particularmente crítico em relação à China” na declaração do primeiro-ministro canadiano e anfitrião do encontro, Mark Carney, e Teresa de Sousa, fazendo a ponte para a cimeira da próxima semana da NATO em Haia, nos Países Baixos, sublinha que “Trump tem um profundo desprezo por qualquer organização multilateral”. Ainda sobre a exigência dos EUA de pôr os Estados-membros da Aliança Atlântica a fixarem as respectivas despesas militares na ordem dos 5% do PIB, Carlos Gaspar olha para a promessa de Luís Montenegro de antecipar a chegada de Portugal aos 2% e defende uma mudança de postura. “É indispensável que as autoridades portuguesas – assim com as autoridades espanholas e italianas – tomem a sério a questão da defesa nacional e da defesa europeia, e deixem de fazer figuras ridículas”, critica o investigador. “Não basta os 3,5% ou os 2%; é preciso demonstrar que Portugal é um produtor de segurança internacional.” Texto de António Saraiva LimaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A.M. Edition for June 17. Trump left the Group of Seven summit in Canada a day early after signing onto a joint statement that calls for peace and stability in the Middle East, as Iran and Israel continued fighting overnight.

Today, we're looking at Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky speaking to the media at the G7 summit, where the Canadian leader pledged billions more for Ukraine as it continues to defend from Russia's invasion. Plus, President Donald Trump left the G7 early, returning back to the U.S. as Israel and Iran continue to trade attacks with Trump stating “we” have control over Iranian airspace on Tuesday. And finally, Industry Minister Melanie Joly is in France, where she touted Canada's closeness to Europe and said the country had become over reliant on the U.S. militarily and economically. Special Guest: Lise Merle.
President Donald Trump has said that he wants a genuine end to Iran's nuclear program, dismissing French President Emmanuel Macron's claim that the United States had made an offer to secure a cease-fire between Israel and Iran. Trump later posted on Truth Social that his early departure from the G7 summit in Canada had nothing to do with a cease-fire in the Israel–Iran conflict. In a subsequent post, Trump said that he had not contacted the Iranian government to engage in any form of peace talks.Russia flattened a section of an apartment block in Kyiv in its deadliest attack on the Ukrainian capital this year, part of a huge barrage of hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 16 people and wounded 124 others. Ukrainian officials declared a day of mourning on Wednesday for the victims of what President Volodymyr Zelenskiy described as one of the most horrific attacks on the capital since the start of the war.The man charged with killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another had dozens of apparent targets, including officials in at least three other states. Suspect Vance Boelter allegedly made it to the homes of two other legislators on the night of the attacks. However, one was on vacation while the suspect left the other house after police arrived, acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said on Monday.
Mentre in Medio Oriente prosegue la guerra tra Iran e Israele, in Canada i leader del G7 firmano una dichiarazione a sostegno della sicurezza di Israele. Subito dopo, il presidente statunitense Donald Trump rientra anticipatamente a Washington, facendo saltare l'incontro con Volodymyr Zelensky. Ne parliamo con Riccardo Alcaro, responsabile del programma Attori globali dell'Istituto Affari Internazionali.
The G7 summit in Canada ended up delivering more drama than diplomacy. US President Donald Trump cut his visit short, skipping the final day of talks, including a key session with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and publicly insulted French President Emmanuel Macron on his way out. So, where does this leave the resolution of the conflicts in Gaza, Israel and Iran, and Ukraine?Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: By Europod, in co production with Sphera Network.Follow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

“This was never about Ukraine for me. This was always about American values and democracy and what it is, where it comes from and what it means. I don't think those values and those principles are on display anywhere more clearly than in Ukraine.” - Liev SchreiberDescription: Renowned actor, writer and director Liev Schreiber recently released “Meeting Zelenskyy”, a feature documentary in which he sits down with Ukraine's embattled leader. In an extended conversation, Schreiber speaks actor-to-actor about Volodymyr Zelenskyy's rise from entertainer to war time leader. In this exclusive interview with Laura Flanders, Schreiber discusses how the documentary came to be, how he personally became involved, and how technology could shape the outcome of the Russia-Ukraine war. The film includes never-before-seen footage from Zelenskyy's childhood and career. Join us for this historic conversation, plus a commentary from Laura.“I've always felt optimistic about this because [Ukraine is] on the side of truth. That's the kind of thing you can cover briefly, but it always comes out, it always surfaces. It's also the kind of thing that builds morale. It builds courage. It builds principle. They have that on their side, where the Russian military is struggling.” - Liev SchreiberGuest: Liev Schreiber: Award-Winning Actor, Director & Writer; Co-Founder, BlueCheck Ukraine This show is made possible by you!

Today, it's Episode Six of Escalation, our latest narrative series co-hosted by Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien and Ukraine Fellow Anastasiia Lapatina. Throughout the show, Nastya and Tyler trace the history of U.S.-Ukrainian relations from the time of Ukrainian independence through the present. You can listen to Escalation in its entirety, as well as our other narrative series, on our Lawfare Presents channel, wherever you get your podcasts.Episode Six picks up the thread in 2019, when the relationship between the United States and Ukraine faces one of its biggest tests during a phone call between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. We then take listeners into the halls of Congress to follow the Ukrainian Cultural Forces as they struggle to generate support for the war on the eve of the 2024 presidential election, in part due to the fallout of that infamous phone call.

As he did in this first presidential term, President Trump has continued to signal closer alignment with Vladimir Putin. This included a tense February Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where he claimed Ukraine was responsible for the war. The U.S. also joined Russia in voting against a UN resolution condemning Russia's action in Ukraine and Vice President Vance has called for a re-evaluation of the U.S.'s relationship with NATO. Could these actions, and others, help chart a return to a state of improved U.S.-Russia diplomatic relations or lead America toward defeat in the region and beyond? Those who argue that Trump's actions signal a return to normalcy say that European security should be Europe's responsibility, which could lead to a stronger, more self-sufficient NATO, and that recent years of antagonism have failed to alter Russian behavior. The Trump administration could help bring U.S.-Russia relations into constructive focus at a high-stakes moment. However, those who declare this a defeat for America argue that Trump warming up to Putin will only encourage Russian aggression, hurt Ukraine, and erode our allies' trust.

C dans l'air du 9 juin 2025 - La Californie se rebelle...Trump envoie la Garde nationaleQue se passe-t-il à Los Angeles ? Depuis vendredi, des habitants manifestent dans la mégapole californienne contre la politique migratoire de l'administration Trump, à la suite d'opérations musclées menées par les agents fédéraux de l'immigration (ICE). L'envoi, samedi, de la Garde nationale sur ordre du président américain, contre l'avis du gouverneur démocrate de l'État, est loin d'avoir calmé les esprits. Pour le troisième jour consécutif, des heurts ont opposé les forces de sécurité à des manifestants qui protestent contre la politique d'expulsion massive et dénoncent l'envoi des premiers soldats par Washington — une manière, selon eux, d'instrumentaliser la situation.Donald Trump exploite-t-il les incidents à Los Angeles ? C'est en tout cas l'avis de la maire démocrate de la cité californienne, qui affirme contrôler la situation. "Ce que nous voyons à Los Angeles, c'est un chaos provoqué par l'administration. Le déploiement des troupes fédérales est une escalade dangereuse."En Californie, les fractures de l'Amérique éclatent au grand jour : d'un côté, les démocrates accusés de laxisme sur la politique migratoire ; de l'autre, les républicains de Donald Trump, déterminés à appliquer les mesures et à faire un exemple dans le fief de l'un de leurs principaux opposants, au risque de plonger un peu plus le pays dans une crise institutionnelle."C'est une atteinte grave à la souveraineté de l'État", a dénoncé le gouverneur démocrate de Californie, Gavin Newsom. "Nous n'avions pas de problème jusqu'à ce que Trump s'en mêle", a-t-il accusé sur X. Les gouverneurs des États démocrates ont fustigé un "abus de pouvoir alarmant", rappelant que la Garde nationale est traditionnellement mobilisée lors de catastrophes naturelles, et non pour réprimer des mouvements sociaux. Il s'agirait du premier déploiement unilatéral de la Garde nationale par un président sans l'accord d'un gouverneur depuis 1965, selon Kenneth Roth, ancien directeur de Human Rights Watch.Cette décision inédite du président Trump marque une nouvelle étape dans sa confrontation avec les États et les villes démocrates sur la question migratoire. À l'heure où il est en échec sur d'autres volets de sa politique (économie, inflation, guerres commerciales, diplomatie) et qu'il vient de rompre de façon fracassante avec Elon Musk, le républicain durcit encore sa politique anti-immigration, pour montrer à ses électeurs déboussolés qu'il tient ses promesses. Ainsi, l'interdiction d'entrée aux États-Unis pour les ressortissants de douze pays, édictée la semaine dernière, est entrée en vigueur ce lundi, selon un nouveau décret présidentiel. Sont concernés les ressortissants d'Afghanistan, de Birmanie, du Tchad, du Congo-Brazzaville, de Guinée équatoriale, d'Érythrée, d'Haïti, d'Iran, de Libye, de Somalie, du Soudan et du Yémen.La Maison-Blanche a également décidé, ces derniers jours, la suspension du traitement des visas pour les étudiants étrangers, le temps pour l'administration Trump de mettre en place une procédure permettant d'examiner le contenu de leurs réseaux sociaux. Parallèlement, des vagues d'arrestations et d'expulsions sont mises en scène afin de frapper les opinions publiques.Quelle est la situation en Californie ? Pourquoi l'envoi de la Garde nationale fait craindre une dérive autoritaire de Donald Trump ? Qu'est-ce que le "travel ban" ? Jusqu'où ira son bras de fer avec les universités ?

The big news recently was Ukraine's massive assault of killer drones that attacked Russian airfields housing Russia's nuclear bomber fleet in Siberia and several other locations deep within the country's heartland. This appears to be a covert message from Ukrainian President Zelensky by aggravating Vladimir Putin into a nuclear stance. Could it also be part of a war theater to set up a false flag attack, where President Trump would have no other choice but to be ready for a limited nuclear incursion?
