Ceuta: Sánchez clears Morocco against his own report, and stands alone in Congress

Pedro Sánchez told Congress there is "no solid evidence" that Morocco orchestrated the mass arrival of migrants in Ceuta — even as a Spanish report documents that Moroccan gendarmes let people through for some ten hours. His own allies accuse him of lying, protesters fill the streets, and Vox is carrying the affair as far as Chile.

The Trump administration is preparing the largest mass visa revocation in American history: up to 200,000 tourist and business visas held by foreigners who have filed for asylum in the United States.

Canada retaliates against US tariffs as Trump threatens to double duties on cars

Ottawa rejected the deal proposed by Washington and announced retaliatory tariffs alongside a support plan for its industries.

On 19 August 2026, less than two hours before the deadline he had set himself, Donald Trump paused the 50% tariffs due to hit some $20 billion of Canadian exports. The president announced the pause on Truth Social, citing a deal reached "subject to the finalization of documents". Ottawa points to progress but stresses that nothing is signed.

Trump threatens to bomb Oman, a US ally, as the Iran agreement expires

Donald Trump threatened to bomb Oman, a US ally, just as the memorandum framing the confrontation with Iran expired and Tehran announced an escalation around Hormuz. Muscat has served for fifteen years as a channel between Washington and Tehran. Twelve countries cover the sequence: the Gulf reads it as a warning about what allied status is worth, while Nigeria and Singapore read it through the price of crude.

Trump says he will declare the Strait of Hormuz "US territory"; Tehran hits back

Donald Trump said on 14 August that he would "very soon" make the Strait of Hormuz US territory. A White House official later described the remark as a joke, a nuance some countries report and others omit. Iranian deputy minister Kazem Gharibabadi hit back. About a fifth of the world's oil and gas passes through the channel between Iran and Oman, where traffic has collapsed since February.
