Paris (AFP) - Maverick American director Oliver Stone told AFP that the legal proceedings against Donald Trump are "all political" and that the ex-president was a victim of "lawfare" -- when prosecutions are used to silence political figures. "Almost 100 indictments against the guy... it's ridiculous," said Stone. "This is all political. They want to put him behind bars, but they're not going to be able to," he added. However, the 77-year-old director of "JFK", "Platoon" and "Snowden" said that he would not vote for Trump in this November's US presidential election. "Everyone's corrupt. Russi...

Cypress (United States) (AFP) - Texas, an independent country 200 years ago, now boasts a pocket of people who want that status back, advocating a separation they call Texit. Its advocates say the dramatic move -- loosely inspired by Britain's Brexit from the European Union -- would help resolve a roiling immigration border crisis and a fight with Washington over who controls the border with Mexico. That fight, pitting President Joe Biden, a Democrat, and Republican Governor Greg Abbott, has laid bare a rupture in America. "We know here in Texas, the only way that Texas will ever be able to se...

Mexico City (AFP) - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Friday hit back at criticism of his decision to reveal the telephone number of a New York Times reporter investigating alleged drug cartel links. Lopez Obrador reacted angrily after the newspaper reported that US law enforcement officials spent years examining claims that people close to him took millions of dollars from criminal gangs. On Thursday, he read out the journalist's phone number at his regular news conference along with questions put to him by The New York Times. Lopez Obrador denied Friday that he had breached da...

Houston (AFP) - Texas plans to construct a military base along the border with Mexico, the state's Republican governor announced Friday, as his election-year tug-of-war with the White House over migration continues to broil. A wave of illegal border crossings in recent months has made migration a key talking point in the US presidential election campaign once again, with Republicans seeking to pin blame for the record-high numbers entirely on Democratic President Joe Biden. Governor Greg Abbott made the announcement of the new base in the flashpoint border town of Eagle Pass, where he has amas...

Eagle Pass (United States) (AFP) - Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Sunday he is expanding his troops' control of the southern US border to protect it from a migrant "invasion," as President Joe Biden's administration accuses him of overstepping his authority. Abbott, flanked by 13 fellow Republican state governors, arrived at Shelby Park, in the Texan city of Eagle Pass, which has an access ramp to the Rio Grande river that forms the natural boundary between the United States and Mexico. "We are here to send a loud and clear message, that we are banding together to fight to ensure that we will...

Eagle Pass (United States) (AFP) - In trucks, vans and RVs, hundreds of people converged Saturday in southern Texas to rally against what they say is a migrant "invasion" and to demand tough new controls at the US border with Mexico. Scrawled on the side of one of the vehicles reaching Quemado -- population 162 -- were the words "Join the God Fight." The convoy gathered in the tiny town along the Rio Grande river, which forms the natural border between the United States and Mexico, as debate swirls again about how to address record high migrant crossings. Hundreds of thousands of people from C...

Buenos Aires (AFP) - Argentina's President-elect Javier Milei has offered glimpses into how his seemingly contradictory spiritual practices -- including a recent embrace of Orthodox Judaism, the Catholicism embedded in Latin America and his own far-right philosophies -- influence his idiosyncratic worldview. The 53-year-old economist, whose inauguration is set for December 10, has frequently referred to both his study of the Torah -- the Jewish scripture which is also the first part of the Christian Bible -- and his identity as a Catholic. Milei has said he believes in God -- whom he insists i...

Edinburg (United States) (AFP) - Donald Trump took his presidential campaign down to the border with Mexico on Sunday, doubling down on the hardline immigration rhetoric that was a hallmark of his first White House term. The Republican leader asserted that border security had evaporated under President Joe Biden, with "gangs of thugs" pouring into the US. "We're going to take over that border and we're going to make it the most secure border in our history," Trump said. He was speaking to a supportive group of border guards and Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a like-minded Republican who has endo...

Edinburg (United States) (AFP) - Donald Trump takes his presidential campaign down to the border with Mexico on Sunday, as he seeks to double down on the hardline immigration policies that were a hallmark of his first White House term.

Trump plans to visit the Texas-Mexico border Sunday with Governor Greg Abbott, a like-minded advocate of tough immigration measures. The Texa...

San Francisco (AFP) - Groups of Tibet activists and pro-China supporters staged opposing demonstrations in San Francisco on Wednesday as Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the city for an APEC summit. A protest organized by the city's Tibetan diaspora was held outside the hotel where US business leaders attended a dinner with Xi, whom they accuse of human rights violations in Tibet. The protest was met by a counter-demonstration of pro-China supporters waving the country's flag, while police separated the two groups with fencing. Xi met with US President Joe Biden on Wednesday before the din...
