Who is Robert Prevost, the First American to Become Pope Leo XIV in Vatican History? | New Pope

Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, becomes the first American pontiff with deep Latin American ties.

Born in Chicago, the 69-year-old missionary spent decades in Peru, where he became known for championing the poor, climate justice, and pastoral reforms. He vows to build on Pope Francis’ progressive legacy while bringing his own dynamic focus on social justice.

With a background in immigrant roots and years of ground-level ministry, Leo XIV’s papacy promises continuity with reform, balanced by cultural sensitivity and strong episcopal leadership rooted in the Augustinian tradition.

U.S Vs Venezuela BIG WAR Soon? Maduro Awakens Venezuelan War Heroes After Trump’s Military Threat

Tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela are spiraling as President Nicolás Maduro rallies Venezuela’s “war heroes” in response to President Trump’s military threats. With fiery speeches and mobilization orders, Caracas warns of resistance to any U.S. intervention. Analysts fear the standoff could ignite a major confrontation, raising the stakes in Latin America’s geopolitical battlefield. #USVsVenezuela #VenezuelaCrisis #TrumpVsMaduro #USWarshipsVenezuela #WarshipsOffVenezuela #VenezuelaWarships #MaduroSpeech #VenezuelanWarHeroes #TrumpWarships #USVenezuelaWar #VenezuelaUnderThreat #USMilitaryThreat #MaduroVenezuela #WarshipsToVenezuela #VenezuelaShowdown #USVenezuelaConflict #LatinAmericaTensions #MaduroVsTrump ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.420~

Maduro Breaks Silence As U.S Stations Warships Off Venezuela Coasts|China Denounces Trump’s Actions

Tensions are escalating in the Caribbean as the United States deploys three Aegis-equipped guided-missile destroyers — USS Gravely, USS Jason Dunham, and USS Sampson — off the Venezuelan coast. The move comes just days after Washington raised its bounty on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to $50 million, accusing him of narco-terrorism and drug trafficking. Maduro condemned the U.S. naval deployment as “illegal” and a blatant “regime change attempt,” warning that any aggression against Venezuela would amount to an attack on all of Latin America and the Caribbean. In a pointed message, he invoked China, brandishing a Huawei phone allegedly gifted by Xi Jinping, and mocked U.S. efforts while showcasing ties with Beijing. China has strongly opposed the U.S. buildup, accusing Washington of violating sovereignty. With mounting pressure, Maduro faces heightened risks while aligning with Russia, Iran, and China against U.S. policies in the region. #Venezuela #Maduro #USWarships #USSGravely #USSJasonDunham #USSSampson #China #XiJinping #LatinAmerica #USVenezuelaTensions #MaduroWanted #NarcoTerrorism #DrugTrafficking #CaribbeanCrisis #RegimeChange #USMilitary #SouthAmerica #Geopolitics #Huawei #MaduroVsUS ~ED.346~GR.122~HT.96~

Anti-Netanyahu Protests Erupt In Mexico As Protesters Call For Israel Ties To Be Severed Over Gaza [Video]

Anti-Netanyahu Protests Erupt In Mexico As Protesters Call For Israel Ties To Be Severed Over Gaza

Tensions are rising in Tijuana as protesters gathered outside the Mexican Foreign Affairs Ministry demanding the government immediately sever diplomatic relations with Israel over its actions in Gaza. Demonstrators held signs and chanted slogans denouncing what they described as “genocide” against the Palestinian people. One protester, Enrique Ochoa, said the conflict could be summed up in one word: “genocide.” The protest reflects growing outrage in Latin America over Israel’s military actions and the rising civilian death toll in Gaza. The gathering in Tijuana adds to international pressure on Mexico to take a firmer stance. While Mexico has expressed concern over the violence, it has stopped short of condemning Israel outright or taking diplomatic action. The demands of the protestors echo similar calls in global capitals as pro-Palestinian movements grow louder. No official response from the Mexican government has been issued at the time of this report. #MexicoIsrael #TijuanaProtests #GazaCrisis #PalestineSolidarity #BreakTiesWithIsrael #GenocideInGaza #MexicoPolitics #IsraelGazaWar #MiddleEastConflict #LatinAmericaProtests #ProPalestineMarch #HumanRightsCrisis #IsraelPalestineWar #CeasefireNow #DiplomaticTensions #ForeignPolicy #MexicoNews #GlobalProtests #GazaUnderAttack #GazaGenocide ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.102~

U.S Civil War | Trump Threatens WAR on Chicago | Mass protests against ‘Wanna be’ Dictator Trump

President Trump escalates his rhetoric, threatening Chicago with federal “Department of War” deployments amid ongoing protests. His provocative “Chipocalypse Now” post, parodying military action and deportations, drew sharp criticism from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who denounced Trump as a “wannabe dictator.” Thousands marched in Chicago against potential raids, holding signs reading “ICE Out of Illinois.” Critics warn the renaming of the Defense Department signals a troubling shift toward authoritarianism and misuse of federal power. #Trump #Chicago #DepartmentOfWar #ChipocalypseNow #JBPritzker #BrandonJohnson #Protests #FederalOverreach #NationalGuard #ICE #Authoritarianism #USPolitics #ChicagoProtests #TrumpControversy #PoliticalDrama #MilitaryOverreach #CivilRights #USCities #BreakingNews #Defiance #ChicagoResistance #FederalPower #TrumpOnline #PoliticalCrisis #MarchForRights #NationalDebate Also Read Fully Reciprocate His Sentiments: PM Modi On Trump's "Will Always Be Friends" Remark :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/fully-reciprocate-his-sentiments-pm-modi-on-trumps-will-always-be-friends-remark-7852419.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump's Fresh Attack, Says India Kills Us With Tariffs, Claims 'No Duty' Offer From New Delhi Again :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trumps-fresh-attack-says-india-kills-us-with-tariffs-repeats-claim-of-no-duty-offer-from-7849863.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Calls India Trade ‘Totally One-Sided,’ Imposes New Tariffs Amid Russia Oil Dispute :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-calls-india-trade-totally-one-sided-imposes-new-tariffs-amid-russia-oil-dispute-7847665.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.346~
