Venezuela has recovered its diplomatic headquarters in the United States, as reported on Saturday March 28. The Venezuelan flag is now flying over the ambassador’s residence, which—along with other diplomatic facilities—”will be rehabilitated to serve all Venezuelans.” Following the failed 2019 US-led regime-change operation with Juan Guaidó as the face, the embassy and eight consulates of Venezuela in the US were illegally removed from the control of Venezuelan authorities and transferred to US-authorized far-right operators.

On Tuesday, Acting President Delcy Rodríguez announced that a Venezuelan diplomatic delegation will depart for Washington this week. The move aims to resume formal diplomatic ties, as previously announced on February 3, marking one month since the unprecedented US military strikes on Venezuela and the criminal abduction of President Nicolás Maduro. “This week, a delegation of diplomats will be leaving for Washington to begin this new stage of relations and political diplomatic dialogue between our government,” Acting President Rodríguez said during a meeting at Miraflores Palace with investors and business associations.

As liberation movements in the Global South forged their new political language reflecting the perspective of colonized peoples, Amílcar Cabral was one of several leaders who identified the role of intellectuals and the educated elite as a critical vulnerability at the heart of popular revolutions. Some intellectuals have sought to promote Western-friendly approaches while normalizing conciliatory, defeatist frameworks. Cabral’s warning resurfaces sharply in the Palestinian and Arab context, after a brutal and unprecedented genocide met with a widespread silence and betrayal from the public, and complicity on the part of many Arab and Muslim regimes.

Several countries have either rejected or expressed serious concerns about US President Donald Trump’s plan to form a coalition aimed at escorting vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, which Tehran has closed to Washington and its allies in retaliation for the brutal US-Israeli strikes on the Islamic Republic. Germany’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Johann Wadephul, said on 15 March that he was “skeptical” of Trump's plan. “Will we soon be an active part of this conflict? No,” he went on to say. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said, “What does Trump expect a handful of European frigates to do that the powerful US Navy cannot?”

It’s The Trump Administration That’s Threatening The World, Not Iran

President Donald Trump’s Pentagon is reportedly preparing a potential military assault on Iran. Washington and Tehran are set to resume Omani-mediated talks on Thursday, but the threat of war is rising nonetheless. This month, the White House and Pentagon have repeatedly met with Israeli leaders who are lobbying against a deal with Iran and are in favor of launching an attack on the country of more than 90 million people. It remains to be seen whether Trump will go forward with military action, but the White House is feeling confident after its January attack on Venezuela.

Plans by the Donald Trump administration to fund right-wing groups in Europe have been slammed by policymakers and campaigners as an effort to “usurp European democracy”. According to the Financial Times, the U.S. State Department plans to bankroll think tanks and charities in the UK and Europe which share President Trump’s agenda, with particular focus on blocking attempts to regulate U.S. social media platforms. Daniel Freund, Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the Greens, told DeSmog that the funding had “one clear aim: to divide and destabilise Europe.”

Integration Or Independence?

Over the past year, much has been made in Canada of the various taunts and threats that have accompanied the Trump administration’s decision to impose tariffs as part of what it has described as an effort to reduce trade deficits, bolster national security, and strengthen domestic manufacturing. Many Canadians have expressed shock and dismay at being “betrayed” by a country they were given to viewing as a livelier, albeit more garish and confrontational, version of their own—a country that is blessed with more jobs, warmer weather, and cheaper goods, but burdened by more guns, greater insecurity, and less predictable institutions.

During the march, nurse Betsy Caraballo emphasized her desire for the president’s return “to continue with his public policies,” particularly those focused on the healthcare sector. “The empire must release him because this was a kidnapping. He is a constitutional president and the people are calling for his return,” she told reporters.

As if by fate and unplanned twists of history, at the very moment that Trump was threatening Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and Marco Rubio was making clear his conviction that the Western Hemisphere is Washington’s property, thus reviving the Monroe Doctrine and its Trump corollary for the 21st century, the government of the People’s Republic of China released its third document on its foreign policy toward the region. In 2008, the Chinese government published the first Document on China’s Policy Toward Latin America and the Caribbean, in which it set out the objective of establishing a China-LAC Comprehensive Cooperation Partnership based on equality, mutual benefit and joint development.

Trump Says US ‘May Be Having Discussions’ With Venezuela’s Maduro

President Trump said on Sunday that the US “may be having discussions” with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, suggesting his administration has not entirely cut off diplomacy with Caracas as previous reports have said. Trump made the comments when asked about Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s announcement that the State Department would be designating the so-called Cartel de los Soles, or Cartel of the Suns, as a “Foreign Terrorist Organization,” though the group doesn’t actually exist. The term “Cartel of the Suns” was first used in the 1990s, before Maduro’s predecessor, Hugo Chavez, came to power, to describe two Venezuelan military generals with sun insignias on their uniforms who were involved in the drug trade. One of the generals was working with the CIA at the time, according to a 1993 60 Minutes report.

This solidarity, forged in the people’s common struggle against Western sanctions and military aggression, combined with a history of resilience against invaders, represents a strategic partnership that transcends geographical and cultural divides. Both nations, rich in natural resources yet burdened by external pressures that seek to dominate them, have cultivated a relationship that encompasses economic cooperation, military collaboration, and diplomatic support. From joint ventures in energy to coordinated efforts in international forums, the Iran-Venezuela partnership exemplifies a broader trend of South-South cooperation, a shift that is rapidly challenging American hegemony.

On Monday, Colombian President Gustavo Petro declared that Colombia’s Free Trade Agreement with the United States has been “de facto suspended” since last April, when his counterpart Donald Trump included the country in his global trade war with a 10% tariff. Petro said he will announce new measures regarding the matter soon, marking a continuation of rising tensions after a US strike against a small boat in the Caribbean. “The FTA is suspended de facto and by unilateral decision of the US government,” Petro stated on his X account. “By imposing 10% tariffs, the FTA treaty has already been violated and the old tariff preferences that kept Colombia under US control have been nullified.”

On Monday, Venezuela’s Foreign Ministry announced that it has begun the first phase of a comprehensive restructuring of its foreign service, ordering the closure of its embassies in the Kingdom of Norway and Australia. “As part of the strategic reallocation of resources, the closure of the embassies in the Kingdom of Norway and Australia has been ordered,” the ministry said in a statement. Venezuela explained that bilateral relations and consular assistance for the Venezuelan community in Norway and Australia “will be efficiently addressed through concurrent diplomatic missions, the details of which will be announced in the coming days.”

US Now Violating Long-Standing Informal Proxy War Rules

NATO’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine is attracting growing attention as it threatens to spiral out of control. There is ample reason for concern. What began as a limited military assistance program to Kyiv from the United States and its European allies following Moscow’s expanded invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has morphed into something much larger and more dangerous. NATO members are no longer just supplying Ukraine with weaponry that could arguably be described as purely defensive; they are equipping their Ukrainian proxy with far more destructive, long-range weapons capable of reaching targets deep inside Russia. In addition, the United States and other NATO governments are assisting Ukrainian attacks by providing crucial military intelligence, including targeting data.
