Two Venezuelan military aircraft flew near US Navy vessel, Pentagon says
WASHINGTON — Two Venezuelan military aircraft flew near a US Navy vessel in international waters on Thursday, in a move the US Department of Defense called “highly provocative.”“Today, two Maduro regime military aircraft flew near a US Navy vessel in international waters. This highly provocative move was designed to interfere with our counter narco-terror operations,” the Defense Department said in a statement on X.“The cartel running Venezuela is strongly advised not to pursue any further effort to obstruct, deter or interfere with counter-narcotics and counter-terror operations carried out by the US military,” the statement continued.CNN has reached out to the Defense Department and the White House for additional comment.The action comes amid growing tension between...

Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa (R) shakes hands with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the Carondelet presidential palace in Quito, on September 4, 2025
US working with Ecuador on agreement to send asylum seekers to the country
QUITO — The United States and Ecuador are in the final stages of establishing an agreement that would allow the US to send asylum seekers to the country, a senior State Department official said on Thursday.“It is not 100% finished,” the official said, adding that the so-called safe third country agreement must go through the standard operating procedures involving the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security.The topic was discussed on Thursday when Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited the country.“It is very case-by-case,” the official said, adding that there are no plans to send a specific quota of asylum seekers to Ecuador. The official said this is part of the overall relationship between the two countries.“We have a whole lot of difference pieces in our relationship,...

Rubio says US will 'blow up' foreign crime groups if needed
QUITO — Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said the US will "blow up" foreign crime groups if needed, possibly in collaboration with other countries."Now they're gonna help us find these people and blow them up, if that's what it takes," Rubio said during a visit to Ecuador.He also announced the US will designate two of Ecuador's largest criminal gangs, Los Lobos and Los Choneros, as foreign terrorist organisations.The comments come days after US forces carried out a strike on a boat in the Caribbean Sea. The White House says it killed 11 drug-traffickers, though it did not release their identities.Asked whether smugglers coming from US allies, like Mexico and Ecuador, could face "unilateral execution" from US forces, Rubio said...

As US tensions rise, Venezuelans keep calm and carry on – but whisper hopes of change
CHICHIRIVICHE DE LA COSTA, Venezuela — Work starts early for the fishermen of Chichiriviche de la Costa, a remote village on the Caribbean coast of Venezuela, some two hours of unpaved driving from the capital Caracas.On Thursday, Eduard Ulloa, 47, was at the shore before six in the morning, ready to prepare his boat for the day’s catch.A US strike on a Venezuelan speedboat allegedly carrying drugs that killed 11 people just a couple of days ago has created big waves in the world of geopolitics, fueling suspicions in Caracas that Washington is trying to topple the regime of President Nicolas Maduro – a man accused by the US of trafficking drugs (a charge he vehemently denies) and on whose head a $50 million bounty rests.That deadly strike, which followed the deployment of several US...

Guyana President Irfaan Ali claims victory in general election
GEORGETOWN – Guyanese President Irfaan Ali has claimed a second five-year term in office, even as official final results from Monday's general election are yet to be published.Ali's People's Progressive Party (PPP) secured at least 242,000 votes in the poll, claiming majorities in eight of the 10 districts in the South American country, according to Reuters news agency.We Invest in Nationhood (WIN), a new political party founded just three months ago, came in second with around 109,000 votes.Ali, 45, campaigned on a pledge to use the country's vast oil reserves, discovered in 2019, to improve infrastructure and reduce poverty, while navigating territorial tensions with neighbour Venezuela.It is not yet clear how many seats each party will have in the 65-member parliament,...

Trump appeals to US Supreme Court to rule on legality of tariffs
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to overturn a lower court decision that found many of his sweeping tariffs were illegal.In a petition filed late on Wednesday, the administration asked the justices to quickly intervene to rule that the president has the power to impose such import taxes on foreign nations.A divided US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit last week ruled 7-4 that the tariffs Trump brought in through an emergency economic powers act did not fall within the president's mandate and that setting levies was "a core Congressional power".The case could upend Trump's economic and foreign policy agenda and force the US to refund billions in tariffs.Trump had justified the tariffs under the International Emergency Economic...

Haley Robson answers reporters' questions during a news conference wth other alleged victims of disgraced financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, outside the US Capitol on September 3, 2025
Epstein files push hits a ‘boiling point’ in Congress as Trump dismisses it as a hoax
WASHINGTON — A bipartisan group of lawmakers stood outside the US Capitol on Wednesday alongside nearly a dozen women who said they’d been abused by the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein with a poignant message: This is not a hoax.That included a direct plea from one of the survivors, Anouska de Georgiou, to the president: “President Trump, you have so much influence and power in this situation. Please use that influence and power to help us.”And an invite extended to him from another abuse survivor, Haley Robson: “I cordially invite you to the Capitol to meet me in person so you can understand this is not a hoax. We are real human beings. This is real trauma.”Yet just moments after those survivors spoke, President Donald Trump delivered his own remarks, dismissing...

Judge says Trump administration unlawfully blocked $2 billion from Harvard
WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Wednesday gave Harvard University a landmark victory in its fight against the Trump administration, siding with the Ivy League school in its effort to restore more than $2 billion in federal funding for research frozen by the White House.The decision from US District Judge Allison Burroughs rejects the administration’s argument that it was targeting the university due to antisemitism on the school’s campus.“A review of the administrative record makes it difficult to conclude anything other than that defendants used antisemitism as a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country’s premier universities,” wrote Burroughs, an appointee of former President Barack Obama.“Their actions have jeopardized decades of research...

Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo said Wednesday that the state will work toward ending all vaccine mandates, which would include those for school enrollment
Florida plans to end vaccine mandates statewide, including for schoolchildren
MIAMI — Florida will move to end all vaccine mandates in the state, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo announced Wednesday.The move would make Florida the first state to end a longstanding – and constitutionally upheld – practice of requiring certain vaccines for school students.The state health department will immediately move to end all non-statutory mandates in the state, Ladapo said at a news conference. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who was also at the event, said state lawmakers would then look into developing a legislative package to end any remaining mandates.Ladapo said that every vaccine mandate “is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery.”All 50 states have had school immunization requirements since the beginning of the 1980s, with incoming kindergartners needing...
