TIANJIN — Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed a relationship with Beijing at an “unprecedentedly high level” on Tuesday, in his first formal talks with his host Xi Jinping since arriving in China on Sunday.The meeting at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing is the latest show of solidarity between the two strongmen as Putin shrugs off Western pressure to end its war on Ukraine, and Xi casts his country as a new leader of world governance, at a time when US President Donald Trump’s foreign policy is upending the globe.Harking back to Soviet ties with China during the World War II, Putin hailed “the memory of the brotherhood in arms, trust, mutual support, and firmness in defending common interests” as the foundation of their countries’ strategic alignment “in the new...

President Nicolas Maduro gives a press conference in Caracas, Venezuela, Monday, Sept. 1, 2025
Maduro accuses Trump administration of pursuing regime change amid US naval buildup in the Caribbean
CARACAS — Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said he would constitutionally declare a “republic in arms” if US forces deployed to Caribbean attacked the South American country.The Venezuelan leader made the comments at a press conference on Monday after the Trump administration moved to boost its maritime defences, expanding deployments in the waters off Venezuela, in a bid to combat threats from Latin American drug cartels.Washington has not signalled any planned land incursion by the thousands of personnel being deployed, yet Maduro’s government has responded by deploying over 15,000 troops along its coasts and border with neighbouring Colombia, as well as by urging Venezuelans to enlist in a civilian militia.“In the face of this maximum military pressure, we have declared...

Israel considers West Bank annexation as Palestinian statehood recognition gains momentum
JERUSALEM — Israel is weighing the annexation of parts of the occupied West Bank, three Israeli officials said, just as several Western nations move towards recognizing Palestinian statehood this month.It’s one of the steps Israel is considering in retaliation for the anticipated recognition of Palestinian statehood by France, Australia, Canada, Portugal and the United Kingdom, which would join more than 140 nations that already recognize a Palestinian state.Late Monday, Belgium’s Deputy Prime Minister Maxime Prevot announced plans to recognize Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly later this month, saying Belgium had a “duty to prevent any risk of genocide.” But he added that it would only be officially enacted “once the last hostage has been released and Hamas no...

CHICAGO — Officials in Chicago are bracing for a major federal immigration enforcement operation that could begin as soon as this week, with the city’s mayor signing an order over the weekend aimed at resisting the Trump administration’s planned crackdown.Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said Sunday such a move would be an “invasion” and that he has had no communication with the Trump administration about reported plans to send National Guard troops to Chicago.“No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration, or me. So, it’s clear that in secret they’re planning this – well, it’s an invasion with US troops, if they in fact do that,” Pritzker said Sunday.The operation is expected to kick off in Chicago by this...
