El primer ministro de Papúa Nueva Guinea, James Marape, ha acusado al presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, de menospreciar a la nación insular del Pacífico Sur al insinuar que un tío suyo había sido comido por "caníbales" allí durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Los comentarios de Biden ofendieron a un aliado estratégico clave mientras China intenta aumentar su influencia en la región. La semana pasada, durante una visita a un monumento conmemorativo en Pensilvania, el presidente habló sobre su tío, el aviador del Cuerpo Aéreo del Ejército, Ambrose Finnegan, cuyo avión fue derribado en Papú...

Kingstown (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines) (AFP) - US anti-drug policies have caused a "genocide" of Latin Americans, Colombia's Gustavo Petro alleged Friday at a meeting of regional leaders on the Caribbean island of St Vincent and the Grenadines. "We have lived through a genocide of a million Latin Americans in the last half-century," the Colombian president told the annual summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC). He blamed the United States for basing its drug strategy on "repression" and not on "prevention and public health." "The result could not be more d...

About 79 percent of the structure, which consists of a string of orange buoys, is floating on the Mexican side of the river, according to the International Boundary and Water Commission. That leaves just 208 feet of the 995-foot (300 meter) barrier in US waters. The survey was filed in court on Tuesday as part of a lawsuit by the US Department of Justice against Texas over th...

"I want to announce publicly that the renegotiation is starting," Petro said, drawing a standing ovation at the meeting in the southern town of Pitalito. He gave no details. ...

San José (AFP) - The opening of US migrant processing centers in Colombia, Costa Rica and Guatemala ensures that more than ever these countries will become waiting rooms for asylum seekers wanting American visas. The "Safe Mobility" initiative rolled out by Washington in Central America -- the main corridor for tens of thousands hoping to reach the United States without visas -- attempts to expand legal pathways for asylum seekers while keeping them in countries farther from the US border. The new program started May 11 with the end of Title 42, which had allowed US authorities to return migr...
