Donald Trump returned to power promising peace and economic relief, yet the US campaign against Iran has triggered a widening regional conflict. His niece, Mary L. Trump, argues the war reflects a familiar psychological pattern: using disruption to deflect pressure and preserve dominance. As casualties rise and markets react, she frames the conflict less as strategy than personal and political diversion.

The Venezuelan opposition leader had to dodge military checkpoints, endure hours of rough seas, and hope that a US drone strike wouldn't destroy the boat she was travelling in.

Venezuelan President Maduro allows oil exploration in the contested Essequibo region, following a referendum supporting Venezuela's claim. Maduro directs state-owned companies to exploit oil, gas, and mineral resources in Guyana's Essequibo region. Guyana denounces Venezuela's actions and the referendum as a pretext for annexation. The International Court of Justice orders Venezuela not to take any action that might affect the disputed territory's status quo. Colombia's shift to the left and Brazil's uncertain ability to deter Venezuelan aggression may influence Maduro's decision-making.

US President Donald Trump, speaking during a White House meeting with oil executives on Venezuela, again claimed he stopped a looming India–Pakistan war, saying “eight planes were shot down” before he intervened. He argued that his role in resolving multiple conflicts, including between the nuclear-armed neighbours, made him deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize, repeating assertions he has made in earlier interviews.
