Trump has pledged to halt any oil headed to Cuba, but his administration won't call it a blockade. But it's functioning as one — pushing 10 million people toward a humanitarian crisis and its government to the brink. My latest w/ @jacknicas.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/w...

Delcy Rodríguez on Saturday: “What is being done to Venezuela is a barbarity.”
Delcy Rodríguez on Sunday: “We extend an invitation to the U.S. government to work together on a cooperative agenda."
What a difference a day makes.

The U.S. attack on Venezuela shook Latin America more than any event this century — but its meaning depends on whom you ask.
Yet one thing everyone can agree on: The U.S. is once again the center of gravity in Latin America, for better or worse.

It’s one more example of the essay I wrote in the New York Times yesterday:
Brazil Keeps Telling Trump to Get Lost

“I decided to write this essay to establish an open and frank dialogue with the president of the United States.”

Congratulations to the Guardian team on this important new podcast about the murder of a British journalist and Brazilian environmentalist in the Amazon rainforest.
This mine in Brazil backed by American investors produces some of the world's hardest-to-find rare earths. It could be the West's best hedge against China's rare-earth dominance.
There's one problem: It is contracted to sell all its rare earths to China.

This is a very impressive package of reporting from

Shortly after 3 a.m., a battering ram burst open the door to a 14th-floor apartment and three men dressed in the black tactical gear of the Chilean police rushed in.

Milei just pulled Argentina out of the World Health Organization, following Trump.
It reflects Milei’s effort to align his nation with Trump’s scorched-earth approach to the international order, even if it comes at the expense of Argentina’s partners.

New bluesky users: The Brazilians beat you here.
After Brazil blocked X because Elon broke the law there, millions of Brazilians took refuge here.
That's great news for you; the Brazilians are very good at the internet.

The past five weeks in North Gaza has been one of the deadliest moments of the war.

It was a stunning moment, even for Brazil, where outrageous political antics are routine. During a televised debate, a politician hit his rival with an iron chair, sending him to hospital.

Brazil’s Supreme Court had a problem: Elon Musk's social network, X, was not paying fines and had already been blocked across the nation.
So the court took an unusual maneuver: It made a different Musk-controlled company help settle the bill.

Para brasileiros que construíram seus negócios no X, o bloqueio da rede social de Elon Musk foi um choque. De um dia para outro, tiveram que buscar outras plataformas para alcançar clientes, patrocinadores e seguidores.
