Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost in Chicago, has become the first U.S.-born pontiff and now leads both the Holy See and Vatican City. His dual role as an American citizen and a foreign head of state raises legal and constitutional questions. While U.S. law allows for “active review” of such cases, experts say Leo’s citizenship is unlikely to be revoked unless he explicitly renounces it. The Vatican is a sovereign nation, and Leo holds dual citizenship with Peru as well. The U.S. State Department declined comment on his status.

Amid escalating global interest in resolving the Russia–Ukraine war, Pope Leo XIV offered the Vatican as a neutral ground for the next round of peace negotiations. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni confirmed the Pope’s willingness. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the offer, claiming the Vatican is unsuitable as a platform, citing religious concerns and Ukraine’s persecution of the Orthodox Church. Lavrov also mentioned that Moscow’s draft peace memorandum is nearly ready, but there is no clarity yet on when the next round of talks might occur.

U.S President Donald Trump has made headlines once again, this time offering asylum to white South African refugees fleeing what he calls “genocide.” But the move has sparked outrage and raised questions about hypocrisy as Trump continues his tough stance on immigration, particularly toward Black and Hispanic migrants. As the media focuses on the controversial land expropriation in South Africa, many are now calling out the double standard in U.S. immigration policy.

As U.S. trade tensions mount, China is strengthening its grip on Latin America. 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.
