Vanuatu looks into revoking Andrew Tate's golden passport
PORT VILA — Vanuatu authorities are looking at revoking Andrew Tate's citizenship after it was revealed that he acquired a golden passport at around the same time as his 2022 arrest in Romania for rape and human trafficking.The self-described misogynist influencer acquired citizenship under a fast-track scheme for those who invest at least $130,000 (£96,000) in the tiny Pacific archipelago, according to an investigation by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project.The scheme has raised security concerns, and led the European Union to revoke Vanuatu's visa-free privilege in late 2024.A Vanuatu government spokesman said authorities were "definitely looking into" Tate's citizenship."Once we have the files, definitely, the processes will be in place to...

Cambodia to take up long-running border dispute with Thailand at UN's top court
PHNOM PENH — Cambodia has said it plans to seek a ruling from the UN's International Court of Justice (ICJ) over border disputes with Thailand, one of which triggered a fatal military clash last week.Cambodia's National Assembly, where Prime Minister Hun Manet's ruling Cambodian People's Party holds all but a handful of seats, voted on Monday to support the government's decision.In 1962, the ICJ awarded Cambodia disputed territory on which a historic temple is located, a move that rankled Thailand and to this day remains a major irritant in bilateral relations.The ICJ reaffirmed that ruling in 2013.Speaking on Monday at a meeting of the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Thailand's Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa said Cambodia...

South Korea is voting for a new president after six months of political chaos
SEOUL — After half a year of political turmoil, uncertainty and division, South Koreans began voting on Tuesday for a new president to succeed Yoon Suk Yeol, the disgraced former leader who plunged the democratic nation into chaos by declaring martial law in December.This election feels particularly significant; the country, a US ally and Asian economic and cultural powerhouse, has floundered for months with a revolving door of interim leaders while navigating Yoon’s impeachment trial and a multipronged investigation into the fateful night of his short-lived power grab.All the while, South Korea’s economy has suffered, with US President Donald Trump’s trade war and a potential global recession looming in the background. Two men are each promising to help the country recover if...
