The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to end the Biden-era humanitarian parole program that granted temporary legal status to migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The decision potentially paves the way for the deportation of over 500,000 migrants. Liberal justices, including Jackson and Sotomayor, dissented, citing the ruling’s human cost. The case highlights the ongoing legal battle over immigration authority and could influence future policies, including birthright citizenship.

Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 50% tariff on EU imports could cost Germany up to €200 billion by 2028, a new report warns. The German Economic Institute says the tariffs, if enacted and matched by EU countermeasures, would slash Germany’s GDP and trade surplus with the US. Trump accuses the EU of unfair trade practices and announced the move due to stalled negotiations. With Germany’s exports to the US already dominant, the economic damage could be staggering. The EU vows to defend its interests and warns against provocation-based policies.

At the China-CELAC Forum in Beijing, leaders from across the region gathered, with many deepening their commitment to China’s Belt and Road Initiative. With two-thirds of Latin American countries already on board, China has become the top trading partner for major economies like Brazil and Peru. Meanwhile, Trump's tariff threats and warnings over the Panama Canal have driven mistrust. China now positions itself as the reliable partner Latin America can count on.
