The U.S. assault on Venezuela points to a world where big powers seek to call the shots in their regions, an idea Beijing knows well.

Venezuela could lose the bulk of its oil export revenues this year if the U.S. blockade stays in place, according to internal government estimates, a scenario that would set off a humanitarian crisis.

U.S. intelligence suggested María Corina Machado, Venezuela’s opposition leader, would struggle to lead the government. But her relationship with Trump officials had been souring for months.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said President Trump’s threats “should be taken seriously” and warned against action to annex the semiautonomous Danish territory.

As the country’s status quo abruptly shifts, experts say maintaining a coalition is crucial for political survival.

When an exodus of Rohingya fled to Bangladesh a decade ago, the United Nations recorded many of their birthdays as Jan. 1. The date serves as a reminder of a lost identity.

The Maduro regime was long propped up by Cuba’s armed forces and intelligence agencies. Many Cubans were reported killed in the American military action.

While both countries were allied with Nicolás Maduro, the U.S. attack could give them justification to use force in other spheres, analysts said.

A demonstration outside the building where Nicolás Maduro was arraigned was a ritual of New York public protest, but one that sprang from personal wounds inflicted a continent away.

The convening of the National Assembly made it clear that Maduro loyalists remain entrenched across Venezuelan institutions after decades of purges and crackdowns on dissent.

Military officers detained 14 members of the news media during a National Assembly session. All were released after their phones were searched. One was deported.

Freed from Auschwitz, she was silent about her ordeal for four decades. Then she decided to dedicate her life to educating people about the dangers of prejudice.

His simple statement in federal court was aimed directly at contradictions in the Trump administration’s actions in the Caribbean.

The two countries both produce heavy oil, which is difficult to refine, and have relied historically on American refineries to buy it.
