The world's largest aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford transits the Strait of Gibraltar, November 4
Venezuelans voice uncertainty, fear and skepticism after arrival of US aircraft carrier in region
CARACAS — From concern to skepticism, Venezuelans in Caracas are expressing a range of emotions a day after the United States’ most advanced aircraft carrier strike group arrived in the Latin American region and intensified the friction between both nations.The US Navy says the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group will support other warships that have been carrying out deadly strikes on suspected drug-trafficking vessels in the Caribbean over the past two months.Though Washington insists the military buildup is aimed at disrupting the flow of narcotics to the United States, Caracas believes the US is really trying to force regime change, and some US officials have privately conceded their strategy is aimed at removing President Nicolás Maduro.That sentiment is shared by some...

Venezuela announces ‘massive mobilization’ of military forces as America’s largest warship sails into region
CARACAS — Venezuela says it is launching a “massive mobilization” of military personnel, weapons and equipment in response to the build-up of US warships and troops in the Caribbean Sea.Land, air, naval and reserve forces will carry out exercises through Wednesday, according to Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López, who described the deployment as a response to the “imperialist threat” posed by the US build-up.In addition to regular military units, the exercises will involve the Bolivarian Militia – a reserve force made up of civilians that was created by the late President Hugo Chávez and is named after Simon Bolivar, the revolutionary who secured the independence of numerous Latin American countries from Spain.Padrino López, who attributed the order directly to...

US Supreme Court keeps full SNAP payments on hold with short term order
WASHINGTON — The US Supreme Court on Tuesday extended a short-term order that allows the Trump administration to withhold paying for full food stamp payments in November, a move that appeared designed to put off the case a few days in the hope that Congress approves a pending agreement to reopen the federal government.The fast-moving emergency appeal at the Supreme Court over Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits that help more than 40 million Americans – as well as several lawsuits playing out in lower courts – would almost certainly be dismissed as moot if the historic shutdown ends in coming days.But until that happens, the “administrative stay” that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued Friday will continue to block a lower court order that required the...

WASHINGTON — A US naval strike force centred around the world's largest warship, the USS Gerald R Ford, has arrived in the Caribbean, the US Navy has confirmed.The arrival of the strike group, which was ordered to the region by President Donald Trump last month, comes amid ongoing strikes against alleged drug boats and tensions with Venezuela.The US has so far carried out at least 19 strikes against boats in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific, killing at least 76 people.Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and other Venezuelan officials have accused the US of "fabricating" a crisis and seeking to topple the country's left-wing socialist government.The aircraft carrier movement also comes amid tensions between the Trump administration and the Colombian government of President...

There is growing skepticism over the legality of the US military’s campaign around Latin America
UK suspends some intelligence sharing with US over boat strike concerns
LONDON — The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.The UK’s decision marks a significant break from its closest ally and intelligence sharing partner and underscores the growing skepticism over the legality of the US military’s campaign around Latin America.For years, the UK, which controls a number of territories in the Caribbean where it bases intelligence assets, has helped the US locate vessels suspected of carrying drugs so that the US Coast Guard could interdict them, the sources said. That meant the ships would be stopped, boarded, its crew detained, and...

US Senate votes to end government shutdown, sending funding bill to the House
WASHINGTON — A small band of Senate Democrats voted with Republicans on Monday night to approve a funding measure to reopen the federal government — without securing their party’s demand to guarantee an extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies, which help millions of Americans afford insurance.The funding compromise will now go to the House, where GOP leaders are hopeful it could pass as soon as Wednesday and end the longest-ever US shutdown. The recently struck deal, which President Donald Trump is expected to sign, would restore critical services like federal food aid, as well as pay for hundreds of thousands of federal workers.Eight members of the Senate Democratic caucus crossed the aisle to join with Republicans in the 60 to 40 vote. One Republican voted in...

E. Jean Carroll leaves Manhattan Federal Court in New York, following the conclusion of her civil defamation trial against Donald Trump on January 26, 2024
Trump asks Supreme Court to overturn verdict in E. Jean Carroll defamation case
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday asked the US Supreme Court to review the $5 million civil case that found he sexually abused and defamed magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll.Last year, a federal appeals court affirmed the jury’s verdict and $5 million judgment against Trump, ruling the trial judge did not make errors that would warrant a new trial. In June, Trump lost an effort to have the appeal reviewed by the full bench of judges.Trump has claimed Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversaw the civil trial, made numerous errors by allowing the jury to hear testimony from two women who alleged Trump sexually assaulted them years ago.His lawyers also said the judge should not have let the jurors see the “Access Hollywood tape,” which captured Trump in 2005 on a hot mic saying he...

Trump defends enrolling Chinese students at US universities, takes a swipe at France
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump criticized the nation of France on Monday in a back-and-forth with a Fox News host as he defended the enrollment of Chinese students at universities in the United States.“I actually think it’s good to have outside countries,” the president said when asked about enrolling Chinese nationals at American universities.“They’re not the French. They’re the Chinese. They spy on us. They steal our intellectual property,” Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham responded.“Do you think the French are better?” the president retorted.“Yeah,” Ingraham said.“I’m not so sure,” the president responded.There has been some tension between Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron throughout Trump’s second term. Some of it has centered over...
