🇦🇷 Milei pledges 200 million pesos for storm-hit Bahía Blanca after criticism

Five days on from the tragedy that swept through the port city, President Javier Milei travelled Wednesday to Bahía Blanca, southern Buenos Aires Province, on Wednesday to oversee reconstruction.

Heavy storms and dangerous flooding last Friday left 16 people dead in the port city. Almost 100 people remained unaccounted for, but authorities believe most are simply unable to reach because of damage to the city's phone masts and power cuts.

Immediately after his visit, Milei pledged 200 million pesos (approximately US$185 million) for the reconstruction of the city.

🇲🇽 Mexico to seal portion of illegal border tunnel under Rio Grande

Mexican authorities are taking steps to seal a portion of a man-made illegal border tunnel under the Rio Grande.

On Tuesday, workers from the Mexican Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (CILA) were seen on the Rio Grande levee near the border wall using sonar equipment and other machinery to analyze the tunnel’s remaining open sections.

The efforts are part of ongoing work to fill or block off the quarter-mile-long tunnel between El Paso and Juarez.

🇧🇷 Massive stretch of Amazon rainforest destroyed for upcoming COP30 climate summit’s 4-lane highway

Tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest are being cleared and paved over to build a new four-lane highway for, of all things, the upcoming COP30 climate summit in Brazil.

The eight-mile stretch of new highway has gouged a deep gash through a large swath of Amazon rainforest just in time for world leaders to convene to discuss how much they care about the Amazon rainforest.

🇺🇸🇨🇺 Homeland Security flies all remaining Guantanamo migrants back to US

The Trump administration has removed all the migrants who were still being held at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Station in Cuba and flown them back to the United States, a Defense Department official said Wednesday.

The 40 men have been transported to Louisiana, where there is a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Alexandria. It comes just two weeks after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security sent another group of 48 migrants back to the same city from Guantanamo.

Both of the transfers back were on ICE Air, a less expensive option compared to the 17 military flights that have transported migrants to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since the Trump administration’s migrant operation began more than a month ago.

🇨🇴 Five soldiers killed in guerrilla attack in southwest Colombia

At least five soldiers were killed Tuesday in a bomb attack by dissident FARC guerrillas in a key cocaine-producing region of southwestern Colombia, the army said.

A military convoy was traveling in the restive Micay Canyon region when their vehicles were "attacked with an explosive device" buried in a road embankment, the army said in a statement on social media platform X.

The attack was "apparently perpetrated by members of the dissident organized armed group, the Carlos Patinos structure, and has so far left two non-commissioned officers and three professional soldiers dead," as well as three soldiers seriously wounded, the army said.

The Trump administration is weighing including Cuba and Haiti on a list of countries whose nationals will face restrictions to enter the country.

Cuba, which is on a State Department list of countries that sponsor terrorism, might end up on a “red list” of countries facing a total travel ban, while Haiti might end up on a less restrictive version of the list, the sources said.

🇨🇴 Colombia's Petro calls referendum for stalled health, labor reforms

Colombian President Gustavo Petro said on Tuesday that he would call a national referendum so that voters can weigh in on his embattled health and labor reforms amid a lack of support for the proposals in the country's legislature.

The president did not immediately specify whether the reforms would be withdrawn from Congress, where he has struggled to push through the bills, which he says are necessary to fight deep inequality and lower poverty.

Petro's decision came hours after eight members of a 14-member Senate committee announced they would present a proposal to reject the government's proposed labor reform for a second time.

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇷🇺 Cargo ship captain arrested on suspicion of manslaughter over collision with U.S.-flagged tanker

British police on Tuesday arrested the captain of a cargo ship on suspicion of manslaughter as they searched for answers about why it hit a tanker transporting jet fuel for the U.S. military off eastern England a day earlier, setting both vessels ablaze. One sailor was presumed dead in the collision.

Humberside Police said the 59-year-old was detained "on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter in connection with the collision."

Shipping company Ernst Russ, the owner of the Portugal-flagged container carrier the Solong, said the arrested man was the ship's master, whom the firm identified on Wednesday as a Russian national. The company said the ship's 14 crew members were a mix of Russian and Filipino nationals.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 Trump raises Canadian steel, aluminum tariffs to 50% in retaliation for Ontario energy duties

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he has ordered his administration to raise tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum imports by an additional 25%, bringing the total duties to 50%.

The new policy will go into effect Wednesday morning, Trump said in a Truth Social post that also repeated his calls for Canada to be absorbed into the U.S. as the “Fifty First State.”

Trump said he was imposing the latest tariffs in response to a decision by Ontario’s government to slap a 25% tax on electricity exports to the U.S.

🇺🇸 House Advances Short-Term Funding Bill Amid Partisan Divide

The U.S. House of Representatives is pushing forward with a short-term funding bill to avert a government shutdown, but the process has exposed sharp partisan divisions.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is leading the effort, with support from President Donald Trump, who reportedly helped sway hesitant Republicans.

The bill includes a $6 billion increase in defense spending, cuts $13 billion in non-defense discretionary spending, and boosts funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The House Freedom Caucus backs the measure, but internal GOP dissent remains.
