Donald Trump has reworked the speech he used last year to address the UN General Assembly and has incorporated a long reference to the war in Iran. Beyond attacking the United Nations, the US president repeated this Tuesday the same version of the conflict that he has been preaching for seven months: that the regime is finished and that "it will never be allowed to build a nuclear bomb." He did acknowledge, however, that "the only thing that has not disappeared [in Iran] is inflation, which is destroying the country." Americans, who see the price of gasoline continuing to rise, probably have some comments to add to these words from the president. Last week the Federal Reserve decided to raise interest rates for the first time since 2023 due to the latest inflation data in the country, which is already hovering around 3.4%.

The United States, Denmark and Greenland have formalized this Tuesday the security agreement by which is handed overthe defense of the Arctic island to the United States forces. The document has been signed by the US President, Donald Trump; the Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, and the Prime Minister of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, within the framework of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The agreement allows the United States to expand defense areas and "strengthen military operations and installations". Within the framework of the pact, Trump has announced the construction of two large military bases in Greenland "immediately".

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, met this Monday with the Mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, at Gracie Mansion, the mayor's official residence in the city. The tycoon took advantage of the trip to attend the United Nations General Assembly, which begins this Tuesday, to also meet with the socialist leader. This is already the third time the two politicians have met face-to-face, and Mamdani did not want to inconvenience the president and received him despite the veto imposed by Trump on several media outlets, including CNN.

The United Nations looks at the world with the bewilderment that can only be had when one has passed the age of 80. A world that is disconcerting, but not for that reason any newer. The organization that was born with the will to prevent the ravages of the great wars of the 20th century from repeating themselves faces the general debate of the 81st session of the General Assembly marked by the shadow of war. In the last three years, the UN podium has seen how different conflicts have passed a baton that has proven cumulative and inconclusive: Ukraine, Gaza and, now, Iran. The military campaign initiated by Donald Trump will be the great protagonist of a more divided summit where alliances are being restructured and old friends are becoming known hostiles. The speed with which the old international order is unraveling seems to have surpassed that of the Arctic thaw, now seen more as a geopolitical advantage than as a climate emergency.

Donald Trump's White House launched Trump TV this Monday, a video channel that broadcasts 24 hours a day via YouTube. The launch comes amid escalating tension between the United States president and several media outlets, after Trump announced on Friday that he was banning CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from the White House.

United States President Donald Trump has announced a “historic” security pact with Denmark regarding Greenland, the Arctic island over which the leader has repeatedly expressed his annexationist aspirations. the leader has repeatedly expressed his annexationist aspirations. The Republican communicated the agreement via Truth Social. Shortly after, the Danish government confirmed that next week it will sign an agreement with the US and the Greenland executive to "strengthen security" on the Arctic island during the United Nations General Assembly, which will take place in New York starting Monday, September 21. Even NATO has celebrated the pact. Beyond the triumphalist language, many details remain to be specified to adequately analyze the nature of the agreement, as it is also unclear what changes regarding the agreement on the Arctic island that has already existed since 1951 between Washington and Copenhagen.

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced this Friday afternoon that he is banning CNN, the MS NOW network, and Politico from the White House in retaliation for their journalistic work. In a post on Truth Social, the leader accused the three outlets of spreading fake news about him and his administration and warned that "other media will follow them." "The media should not be allowed to constantly write fictions and lies when they talk about the President of the United States," he declared. The affected media outlets have not yet commented.

US President Donald Trump has threatened to increase tariffs or even "cut trade relations" with the EU if it completes its project to associate with Canada. As is his custom, the tycoon made the serious claim casually and without providing further details, while answering journalists' questions on his way to a rally in North Carolina.

The honeymoon between the new Federal Reserve (the Fed, the United States central bank) chair, Kevin Warsh, and U.S. President Donald Trump is over. The organization announced this Wednesday that it is raising interest rates to the range between 3.75% and 4%, which represents an increase of 0.25 percentage points compared to the previous 3.5%, despite Trump's demands that it cut them.

George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden. The twenty-five years following the 9/11 attack would have been condensed this Friday at the New York memorial if it hadn't been for the absence of Donald Trump. The current president of the United States, despite being the only native New Yorker, was thousands of miles away on such a sensitive date. The Republican decided to stay in Washington for the Pentagon commemoration, which was also a target of the Al-Qaeda terrorists. Unlike Ground Zero, where the organization prohibited politicians from giving speeches, Trump took the opportunity to once again defend his war in Iran.

In November 2028, and not in November 2026. This is where Vice President J.D. Vance had his sights set this Friday morning. His closing speech at the Dallas convention confirmed what was already suspected: that the Texas event would be more of a personal matter than a party one. If the American president on Thursday turned the midterm elections into a referendum on himself –his popularity is currently at a low point–, Vance took the opportunity to talk about his own book. Specifically, about his potential presidential candidacy two years from now.

Donald Trump has wanted to return to the 2024 election campaign, but time, as the poet said, takes its toll. Lee Greenwood singing God bless the USA. The attacks on former president Joe Biden. Even the same slogans. The US president's speech early this Thursday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas was a succession of echoes of that convention in Milwaukee, where he was consecrated as a mystical figure after surviving the attack in which a bullet grazed his ear. At a historic peak of unpopularity, Trump has entrusted himself to that blind faith that catapulted him to power two years ago and has tied his fate to that of the Republican candidates who are fighting for their seats this November.

The United States has announced in the last few hours the destruction of five Iranian oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman and near the island of Kharg as retaliation for Tehran's alleged attempts to attack one of the US Navy's ships, in a new episode of hostilities between the two countries after the conflict escalated again last week. In retaliation, the ayatollahs have responded to the sinking of the ships by launching "heavy missiles" against a US base in Jordan.

One more eccentricity from the party leader. This Wednesday and Thursday, Republican legislators and Trumpist followers are gathering in Dallas (Texas) to attend the Republican convention that Donald Trump has devised to boost the party with less than two months to go until the midterm elections. But the programming of the historic event—it is the first one the Republicans are holding for midterms— points in another direction: the American president will be the headliner and will give the main speech of the two days. Not even in Milwaukee, despite having just survived the attack in Butler, did Trump hog the microphone so much.

US President Donald Trump spoke by phone this Tuesday with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, according to the Kremlin in a press conference. The White House has neither confirmed nor denied the conversation, in which the Russian leader told the Republican that he has no plans to attack Europe, even though he continues to apply hybrid warfare tactics, as has been seen recently in Germany.

For Ray Downey, 9/11 was his final act of service as the fire department’s chief of special operations. For his son Joe, also a firefighter, it meant eight months sifting through rubble and smoke in search of his father’s remains. For his grandsons, Connor and Joseph, it is a memory inherited from their father: that of Joe leaving them at a neighbor’s house as he rushed toward the World Trade Center.

The Donald Trump administration has launched five retro-style video games to promote its agenda where, among other things, one can chase and capture immigrants. The White House is gamifying raids eight months after two U.S. citizens in Minnesota died at the hands of anti-immigration agents and shortly after ICE announced it will no longer publish the deaths of immigrants who die in detention centers.

Last week was the CIA director's secret trip to Moscow, John Ratcliffe. Now, it has been the surprise appearance of the Russian finance minister, Anton Siluanov, at the G-20 meeting being held this week in Asheville, North Carolina. Siluanov's presence at the meeting of central bankers and ministers of the group of nations has infuriated European members, who are already on edge due to the White House's secrecy about the latest moves with Russia that are glimpsed behind the scenes. It had been four years, since Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, that the Russian finance minister had physically attended the meeting. Coincidence or not, the last time a CIA director had traveled to Moscow before now was in November 2021.

Iran has denounced that the United States allegedly committed "war crimes" after one of its missiles killed four people early this morning at a wedding being held in the south of the country. The Islamic Republic has also counted at least 68 injured following the crossfire that the Revolutionary Guard and US forces engaged in on Tuesday in a resumption of hostilities in the region.

Crossfire reignites in the Middle East after a month of relative calm. US President Donald Trump has promised that the military will respond to the missiles that Iran launched early this morning against two US bases in Jordan. "We will hit them hard," the Republican said in statements to Fox, where he confirmed that US forces intercepted six Iranian missiles. The Islamic Republic had opened fire early this morning against the US's Arab ally in retaliation for the US attack on Sunday against two Iranian platforms on the island of Larak, located near the Strait of Hormuz. In a statement released by the Iranian agencies Fars and Tasmin, the main military arm of the Islamic Republic specified that the attack was carried out with drones and left several dead and injured, although it did not specify how many.
