US cancels visa of Nobel Peace Prize winner Oscar Arias
SAN JOSE — The former president of Costa Rica, Oscar Arias, says his US visa has been revoked.Arias, a Nobel laureate, said he was informed of the decision weeks after he had publicly criticized Donald Trump, comparing the behavior of the US president to that of a Roman emperor.The 84-year-old, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in brokering an end to conflicts in Central America, said US authorities had given no explanation.Arias hinted, however, that it may be due to his rapprochement with China during the time he was president from 2006 to 2010.Speaking at a news conference in the Costa Rican capital, San José, Arias said he had "no idea" what the reason for the cancellation was.He said he had received a "terse" email "of a few lines"...

Trump official visits mega-jail holding deported Venezuelans
WASHINGTON — US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has released a social media video filmed inside a controversial mega-prison in El Salvador, thanking the country and its president for "bringing our terrorists here and incarcerating them".Secretary Noem was in the country to tour the facility, where US officials recently sent 238 Venezuelans.In a cell behind her as she spoke were dozens of bare-chested and tattooed Salvadorean members from the MS-13 and the 18th Street gangs.The trip suggests President Trump does not intend to back down from his immigration policy in the face of an injunction, upheld by an appeals court, on removing the Venezuelans from US soil under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.Secretary Noem described the prison as "one of the tools in our...

Trump announces new auto tariffs in a major trade war escalation
NEW YORK — President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced 25% tariffs on all cars shipped to the United States, a significant escalation in a global trade war.The tariffs, set to take effect on April 3 at 12:01 am ET, are aimed at expanding America’s auto manufacturing prowess. For decades, because of a free trade agreement, automakers have treated Canada, Mexico and the United States as one big country, with no tariffs among them. Although the United States is home to a significant automaking industry, Trump wants to grow it.“Frankly, friend has been oftentimes much worse than foe. And what we’re going to be doing is a 25% tariff on all cars that are not made in the United States,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday before signing an executive proclamation in the Oval Office....

Trump signs order aimed at overhauling US elections
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that aims to overhaul US federal elections, including by requiring voters to show proof of citizenship and limiting when states can receive mail-in ballots.Experts warn the move could disenfranchise millions of Americans who do not have easy access to a passport or other legal documents proving they have the right to vote.It is unclear how enforceable the order is, given US states have wide legal leeway to determine how they run their elections. It is expected to be challenged in court.The order, titled "Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections", was signed by Trump on Tuesday at the White House."Election fraud. You've heard the term. We're going to end it, hopefully. At least...
