DIPLOMATIE & GOUVERNANCE

Washington prepares to revoke 200,000 visas held by asylum seekers

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. The measure targets nationals already on US soil and has drawn reactions from Mexico to Colombia, from Nigeria to India and Thailand.

CONFLITS & SECURITE

The United States removes Syria from its state sponsors of terrorism list after forty-seven years

Washington formally removed Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, where it had been designated since 1979. The decision lifts a major part of US sanctions and opens the way to investment and reconstruction. It comes as Damascus and Israel have resumed security talks under American mediation, following an Israeli strike on a Syrian airbase, and as Turkey, the Gulf monarchies and Russia reposition their interests in the country.

DIPLOMATIE & GOUVERNANCE

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. Donald Trump in turn threatens to double duties on Canadian cars, trucks and parts. More than 500 products already face 50 % tariffs. The value of exports affected varies: 20 billion dollars in most accounts, 28 billion according to the Canadian press.

ENERGIE & CLIMAT

A South Korean container ship sails to Europe via the Arctic route, a first triggered by the closure of Hormuz

South Korea sent its first container ship from Busan to Europe via the Northern Sea Route, after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz made the usual Gulf and Suez itinerary unusable. The crossing, estimated at 45 days, cuts thousands of kilometres off the distance but depends on Russian permits and on a navigation window limited to a few months a year.

INTELLIGENCE ARTIFICIELLE

A Chinese humanoid robot runs the 100 metres faster than Usain Bolt at the Beijing World Humanoid Robot Games

At the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, the robot Tiangong Ultra ran the 100 metres in 9.39 seconds, below Usain Bolt's world record of 9.58 s, while another machine cleared 2.88 m in the high jump. Western outlets treat it first as a spectacular feat; Beijing turns it into an industrial argument, highlighting an already commercialised sector. Several newsrooms report conflicting times and the absence of independent certification.

A US federal judge strikes down the immigrant visa freeze targeting nationals of 75 countries

A US federal judge struck down the suspension of immigrant visa processing for nationals of seventy-five countries, ruling the measure contrary to law and finding that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had exceeded his authority. Coverage is led by the countries directly targeted, Nigeria foremost with six outlets.

The United States imposes 50% tariffs on 20 billion dollars of Canadian goods after talks collapse

JUSTICE INTERNATIONALE

TikTok pays $400 million to settle US children's privacy investigation

TikTok and its Chinese parent ByteDance agreed to pay 400 million dollars to the US Justice Department to close an investigation into the collection of minors' data. The settlement is described as one of the largest ever reached in the United States over children's privacy. The figure reported varies from country to country.

ENERGIE & CLIMAT

Washington declares 'economic war' on Iran and urges allies and China to cut all ties

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a campaign to collapse Iran's economy, telling other capitals they are either with Washington or against it. Tehran calls the economic war a breach of international law and threatens a military response. Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is falling.
