G20 adopts leaders’ declaration despite US boycott of South Africa summit
JOHANNESBURG — World leaders from the Group of 20 major economies broke with tradition on Saturday by adopting a leaders’ declaration at the start of their summit in South Africa, despite the United States boycotting the two-day meeting in a deepening diplomatic rift with Pretoria. South African presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said the declaration was adopted unanimously by attending members at the opening session in Johannesburg. Final declarations are typically issued at the end of G20 summits. Details of the document were not immediately released, but South Africa hailed its adoption as a milestone for the first G20 summit ever held on the African continent, with Pretoria pushing to place the concerns of developing countries — including climate resilience, debt relief,...

Brazil’s Supreme Court orders preemptive arrest of ex-president Bolsonaro
SAO PAULO — Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered the preemptive arrest of former President Jair Bolsonaro on Saturday, just days before he was set to begin serving a 27-year prison sentence for leading a coup attempt. The 70-year-old former leader was taken from his home in the upscale Jardim Botânico district to federal police headquarters in Brasília after the court determined he was attempting to flee. Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who oversaw the case, said Bolsonaro’s electronic ankle monitor was violated shortly after midnight on Saturday, indicating “the intent of the convict to break the ankle monitoring to assure his escape is successful,” particularly amid confusion expected from a demonstration reportedly planned by his son, Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro. De Moraes...

More than 300 children and staff kidnapped from Nigerian school in major mass abduction
ABUJA — More than 300 children and staff members are now believed to have been kidnapped from a Catholic school in central Nigeria, in what has become one of the country’s worst mass abductions in years. The Christian Association of Nigeria said 303 students and 12 teachers were taken from St. Mary’s School in Papiri, Niger State—significantly higher than initial estimates. The association said the revised figure followed a detailed verification exercise. The scale of the abduction surpasses the 276 girls taken during the 2014 Chibok kidnapping, which shocked the world. Local police said armed men stormed the boarding school around 2 a.m. on Friday, abducting students as they slept. “Everybody is weak… it took everybody by surprise,” said Dominic Adamu, whose daughters attend...

Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene resigns from Congress after Epstein files feud
WASHINGTON — U.S. congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced she will resign from office, marking an unexpected exit for one of Donald Trump’s highest-profile Republican allies. Greene, a Georgia representative long seen as a Maga firebrand and one of Trump’s staunchest defenders, said her recent clashes with the president—culminating in him calling her a “traitor”—made her position untenable. “I refuse to be a ‘battered wife’ hoping it all goes away and gets better,” she said in a video announcing her departure. Trump, who had threatened to support a challenger to unseat her, welcomed the news. Calling her resignation “great news for the country,” he told ABC News that Greene had “gone bad.” He later added on Truth Social: “Nevertheless, I will...

Ukraine’s allies push to strengthen US peace plan
JOHANNESBURG — Ukraine’s Western allies will seek to reinforce a proposed U.S. plan aimed at ending the war with Russia as they gather for the G20 summit in South Africa, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said on Saturday. The summit opens amid heightened concern in Kyiv, where President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that the country is facing “one of the most difficult moments in our history” due to mounting pressure to accept the proposal — leaked details of which have been widely viewed as favorable to Moscow. Zelensky held calls on Friday with Starmer and the leaders of France and Germany. Following the discussions, the UK prime minister said Ukraine’s partners remain committed to securing a “lasting peace once and for all.” Neither U.S. President Donald Trump nor Russian...

Trump, NYC mayor-elect Mamdani strike unexpectedly warm tone in White House meeting
WASHINGTON — A highly anticipated face-off between U.S. President Donald Trump and New York City’s newly elected mayor Zohran Mamdani turned into an unexpectedly cordial exchange on Friday, with both men emphasizing cooperation despite weeks of sharp political attacks. Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, had called Trump a “despot” in his victory speech earlier this month. Trump’s spokesperson had previewed the visit by describing the mayor-elect as a “communist coming to the White House.” But standing together in the Oval Office, the two leaders struck a conciliatory tone. Both repeatedly stressed their shared interest in tackling New York City’s affordability crisis and appeared at ease during their joint remarks. Trump smiled as reporters reminded him of...
