Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has urged Germany to help steer the European Union away from protectionist measures against China, saying that Beijing and Brussels should not engage in trade wars just days before President Xi Jinping’s high-stakes US visit. “China and the EU are comprehensive strategic partners, and a trade war should not be fought between them,” Wang told his German counterpart Johann Wadephul in a phone call on Monday. According to a statement from China’s foreign ministry,..

Brazilian President Lula on Trump: He acts like an emperor. It is a way of governing that I do not agree with. It is a way of governing where you say: “I am strong, I am bigger, I am richer, I can do anything, and everyone else has to obey.” That is called the law of the strongest. I do not agree with that kind of law.
Brazilian President Lula: Trump’s behavior has a strong tendency toward unilateralism. That is very dangerous. Because then the strongest may prevail: whoever has the biggest economy, the most weapons or the greatest technological power. Trade has to be balanced. It has to be a two-way street: I buy and I sell. There must be a certain balance to avoid major distortions, with one country running a very large deficit with another.
Brazilian President Lula: Trump was elected President of the United States. He has the right to govern the United States, but he does not have the right to govern other countries. He does not have the right to impose his will. We do not want interference. We want partnership.

US Envoy to the UN Mike Waltz: Even when we have civilian casualties — and I’m not saying that’s the case, I think it’s still under investigation by the Pentagon — but even when we have them, it’s unintentional and it’s incidental as part of a conflict. Source: New York Post

The EU is prepared to draw on measures already at its disposal to defend the International Criminal Court should pressure tied to its Gaza-related warrants intensify further, while working to rally broader global backing for the institution, the bloc’s foreign policy chief told Arab News on Monday. “The ICC is under attack, that’s very clear,” Kaja Kallas said. “We’ve been very clear in our statements of support to the ICC. We have the tools in our toolbox when it gets really serious how to defe

Coverage of the new White House memorandum on combating cybercrime quickly reached the privateer label. CNN called the participants “cyber privateers,” invoking the image of government-sanctioned raiders working the high seas of cyberspace, hauling in digital booty. The reality is considerably less romantic. The administration has tried to create a private offensive cyber program using an exception buried in outdated legislation, and that has shaped how the program must be constructed. For this

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi says Iran-backed militias will be disarmed by June 30, 2027, under a phased plan to bring armed groups under state control. The plan would begin with a 90-day halt in militia attacks, during which U.S. forces would also refrain from attacking them, followed by the militias handing over their weapons. Some factions are pushing for until the end of 2027. The effort faces strong resistance and could depend on whether the U.S.-Iran war ends, while Washington is pr

Xi is expected to press Trump at this week’s Washington summit to halt U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, citing the 1982 U.S.-China joint communiqué. Beijing is also pushing Washington to stop deliveries of weapons Taiwan has already ordered. One source said Xi may argue that “Taiwan is the provocateur and the sole source of instability in U.S.-China relations.” The U.S. said in 1982 that it intended to gradually reduce arms sales, but Ronald Reagan separately made that commitment “conditioned absolu

Argentina's President Javier Milei: I quote passages from the Torah, particularly the Book of Shemot. For me, it is the most important story of liberation in humanity. It is the story of two brothers, Moses and Aaron, who faced Pharaoh — the equivalent of the U.S., Russia or China today. They succeeded in freeing their people.

Argentina's President Javier Milei: Today, I would say there are three blocs: the U.S., Russia and China. Those are the three blocs. With Europe, there is a big question mark. Given my alignment with the values that made the West grow, I decided to align myself with the U.S. and Israel. They perfectly represent the great values of the West.
Argentina's President Javier Milei: Those who say Trump is weakening the West are completely wrong. President Trump’s work is extraordinary. He must be one of the great personalities in human history in terms of the number of conflicts and wars he has resolved. He is not appreciated in Europe, because Europe is embarrassed by the truth that it is sinking.

There are lights everywhere. With socialist totalitarianism, it is always the same. Democratic socialists do things a little more slowly. That is the only difference.

Observers described the Sept. 18-20 parliamentary election as the "dirtiest" vote in Russia's modern history. In a country that has not held free and fair elections for nearly three decades, that might seem like a difficult result to achieve. All independent media were banned soon after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, ensuring a media landscape where no criticism of the authorities was allowed during elections. All genuine opposition parties were also banned from running. Even a mod
