Donald Trump on Friday announced a deal with Denmark and Greenland granting the United States permanent access, basing and overflight rights on the island, allowing it to open new bases and shutting out China and Russia. Copenhagen stresses that it recognises Danish sovereignty; it is due to be signed next week at the UN, then approved by the Danish and Greenlandic parliaments.
In a national televised address on September 4, Javier Milei announced a package of decrees, a bill and a national security council targeting the Sea Lion offshore oil project, 220 kilometers north of the Falklands, along with a naval base in Tierra del Fuego. He disputes the 3,600 islanders' right to self-determination. The announcement follows remarks by Donald Trump suggesting Washington is reassessing its position; London replied with an "unshakeable commitment".
The US State Department has suspended immigrant visa interviews at its embassies and consulates worldwide, with no announced resumption date, citing in-depth training for its consular staff. Diplomatic posts say they will contact applicants to reschedule. The measure comes four days after a federal judge struck down the visa freeze targeting nationals of seventy-five countries, and a day after the announced revocation of two hundred thousand tourist and business visas.
UEFA, CONCACAF and the AFC — three of FIFA's six confederations, whose presidents are also FIFA vice-presidents — accuse Gianni Infantino of breaking trust "through deception" and demand an independent review of the abandoned plan to sell a stake in the World Cup. CAF and CONMEBOL did not sign. That evening, Donald Trump said replacing him would be "a terrible mistake".
At 7:34 a.m. on Monday, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck western Colombia, with its epicentre in Chocó. Felt as far as Quito, Panama and Caracas, it collapsed Pereira's airport and damaged hundreds of buildings. The president, in office for three days, declared a national disaster. Depending on the newsroom, the toll runs from 111 to 138 dead — and more than 2,000 people are registered as missing.
The Vatican confirmed on Wednesday that Leo XIV will travel to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru from 6 to 17 November. The pope will return to Chiclayo, where he was bishop, and Argentina will receive a pope for the first time in nearly forty years — something Francis, an Argentine, never did. Brazil is not on the itinerary. Five countries read the announcement by what they get.
On August 2 the Workers' Party formally nominated Lula, 80, for a fourth term against Flavio Bolsonaro. "I have the energy I had at 30," he said. From Buenos Aires, Milei calls him "a thief"; from Santiago, the same bid reads as a bulwark against the far right. Ten countries treat one candidacy as a test of longevity, of sovereignty, or of democracy itself.
