China strongly opposes the U.S. decision to impose a 25% tariff on trades with countries purchasing oil and gas from Venezuela. The Chinese government calls for an end to U.S. interference in Venezuela’s internal matters and the removal of what it describes as "illegal" unilateral sanctions. The move follows U.S. President Trump's executive order on March 24, which also extended the deadline for Chevron to exit Venezuela, easing pressure on the company. The sanctions stem from accusations against President Nicolás Maduro for failing to make progress on electoral reforms and migrant returns. China voiced these concerns at a press briefing.

He emphasized that officials from Greenland were reaching out to the U.S., expressing interest in proper protection and support. Trump suggested that U.S. control of Greenland could be a possibility in the future, citing national security reasons. He also mentioned that Secretary of State Marco Rubio might visit Greenland soon, as officials there had requested U.S. involvement. Additionally, Trump announced a forthcoming deal with Ukraine on minerals and rare earths. In his remarks on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, he highlighted discussions about territorial lines and nuclear plants during ceasefire talks in Saudi Arabia. Trump reiterated his idea of the U.S. taking control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, noting the country’s expertise in operating such facilities.

Greenland’s Prime Minister, Mute B. Egede, criticized a planned visit by U.S. officials, including second lady Usha Vance and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, calling it "highly aggressive." The visit, which aims to celebrate Greenlandic culture and attend the national dogsled race, comes amid tensions sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump’s past remarks about annexing Greenland, citing its valuable rare earth minerals. Egede opposed the visit, arguing it demonstrated U.S. power over Greenland and undermined diplomatic efforts for autonomy. Although Greenland gained more self-governance from Denmark in 2009, Denmark still controls defense and foreign policy. The U.S. visit is seen as disrespectful by some Greenlandic leaders, including Jens-Frederik Nielsen, who criticized its timing during ongoing political negotiations. A January poll showed 85% of Greenlanders oppose becoming part of the U.S., with many seeing Trump’s interest as a threat. Greenland’s politicians are open to U.S. investments but reject annexation.

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi warned that continued U.S. aggression against Yemen would lead to "escalatory options" and more painful retaliation from the rebels. This follows U.S. President Donald Trump's recent airstrikes on Houthi positions, which killed at least 53 people, including children, and injured many others. Trump’s airstrikes are part of a broader campaign to pressure Iran, the Houthis’ main backer, with Trump linking Houthi actions to Tehran and threatening consequences for further attacks. In response, Houthi supporters rallied in several cities, vowing revenge against the U.S. and Israel. The United Nations has called for a halt to military activities in Yemen. Meanwhile, the Houthis’ maritime attacks on over 100 merchant vessels between November 2023 and January 2024 raised their profile in the Arab world. Trump also warned Iran against arming the Houthis, alleging a reduction in Tehran's military support for the group.

U.S. Second Lady Usha Vance is set to visit Greenland this week, marking the highest-profile visit to the territory since the Trump administration expressed interest in acquiring it. During her three-day trip, Vance will be accompanied by one of her children and will explore Greenland's historical sites, learn about its heritage, and attend the Avannaata Qimussersu, the national dogsled race. The race, featuring 37 mushers and 444 dogs, celebrates Greenlandic culture and athleticism. Mike Waltz, Trump’s national security adviser, will join Vance during the visit. Despite the opposition of Greenland's parliamentary parties, Trump has consistently claimed that U.S. control over Greenland is inevitable, citing national security concerns rather than territorial expansion. The U.S. maintains a military presence in Greenland, which was visited by Donald Trump Jr. earlier this year. Trump has also made other controversial territorial suggestions, including claims about Panama's canal and Canadian statehood.

In 2024, global temperatures reached an all-time high, 1.55°C above pre-industrial levels, surpassing the 2023 record by 0.1°C. While the Paris Agreement aims to limit warming to 1.5°C, the long-term average rise is between 1.34-1.41°C, nearing the threshold but not exceeding it yet. Various factors, including greenhouse gas emissions, solar cycles, volcanic eruptions, and reduced cooling aerosols, contributed to the temperature rise. Extreme weather events like droughts, floods, and wildfires caused food shortages and displaced 800,000 people, the highest since 2008. Ocean heat reached unprecedented levels, accelerating warming and increasing acidification. Glaciers and sea ice melted rapidly, pushing sea levels to a new high. Between 2015 and 2024, sea levels rose by 4.7 millimetres annually, more than double the rate from 1993-2002. Experts warn of long-term consequences from melting ice in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, with significant implications for global ecosystems and sea levels.

U.S. President Donald Trump has defended his administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act's wartime powers to rapidly deport over 200 alleged members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang linked to kidnapping, extortion, and contract killings. The deportation proceeded despite a court order by Judge James Boasberg blocking it, with the administration arguing that the judge lacked the authority to intervene. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump justified the action by comparing the rise in immigration to wartime conditions, emphasizing the deportees were "bad people" now incarcerated in El Salvador. During the same flight from Florida to Washington, Trump also reaffirmed his commitment to imposing tariffs starting April 2, despite market disruptions and economic concerns. He stressed his stance on reciprocal tariffs, stating, "They charge us and we charge them," and confirmed additional tariffs on autos, steel, and aluminum.

Both Ukraine and Russia have reportedly already discussed some potential divisions of assets. The U.S. president's remarks were made while returning to Washington from Florida on Air Force One. Trump had previously spoken with Putin on March 14, a day after Russian President Putin met with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff to review the ceasefire proposal. Ukraine supports the ceasefire, but there are concerns about Russia's commitment.

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that the campaign aims to ensure freedom of navigation and restore deterrence.

Truman and other U.S. warships in the Red Sea, which was met with U.S. retaliation, including the downing of 11 drones. Meanwhile, Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi has promised further escalation if U.S. strikes persist. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, including 53 dead and 101 injured. The US military operation is the largest in the region since Trump’s presidency, and it may continue for weeks.

The European Union announced it will impose counter tariffs worth $28 billion on U.S. goods starting next month, in response to U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum. European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen emphasized that the EU’s countermeasures are strong but proportionate to the U.S. actions. The new tariffs will come into effect by April 13, 2025, following the end of the EU's suspension of tariffs on U.S. products, which includes items like boats, bourbon, and motorbikes. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump implemented a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports on March 12, 2025, ending previous exemptions. Trump also criticized Ireland’s tax policies, claiming they caused U.S. companies to relocate there. He argued that the U.S. should have prevented this and that reciprocal tariffs would aid American manufacturing. The move intensifies a global trade war, with both sides taking measures to protect their domestic industries.

Aid agencies in Ethiopia's war-affected Tigray region have been forced to halt food distribution to millions due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. Trump administration. The suspension stems from the breakdown of the USAID payment system, which has left agencies without funds to cover fuel, transportation, and staff costs, despite existing food stockpiles. Tigray Disaster Risk Management Commissioner, Gebrehiwot Gebrezgiabher, warned that the cut will put 1.2 to 1.4 million people at risk. Displaced residents, like 76-year-old Haile Tsege, express fears of dying from hunger, with over 2.4 million people in Tigray dependent on U.S. humanitarian aid. Ethiopia, the largest recipient of U.S. aid in sub-Saharan Africa, received $1.8 billion in 2023, supporting food, health, education, and refugee programs. However, most of these programs have been halted, USAID staff placed on administrative leave, and recovery efforts in Tigray severely disrupted. The U.S. Embassy has not responded to inquiries.

Pope Francis, aged 88, is showing signs of improvement as he nears one month in Rome’s Gemelli hospital, though doctors warn his recovery remains fragile due to age and underlying health conditions. Admitted in mid-February with pneumonia, the Pope is currently reliant on non-invasive ventilation and high-flow oxygen therapy, treatments often seen as precursors to intensive care. Doctors expect a full recovery from pneumonia but note that his chronic conditions could impact long-term health. Infectious disease expert Loredana Sarmati emphasized that Francis will require respiratory support for several more days or weeks. The Vatican has not confirmed his post-recovery schedule, though observers expect a slower pace with fewer engagements. Francis has been out of the public eye since early February and will mark the 12th anniversary of his election on March 13 from the hospital. Prayers and vigils continue outside the hospital as his followers hope for his recovery.

Trump expressed hope for a ceasefire but stated that he could apply financial pressure on Russia if necessary, although he preferred pursuing peace without escalating the situation further.

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested on March 12 under a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC), which is investigating allegations of crimes against humanity related to his "war on drugs." The ICC has jurisdiction over crimes like genocide and war crimes and can intervene when countries fail to prosecute such offenses. Duterte's drug war, which led to the deaths of over 6,000 people during his presidency (2016-2022), has drawn widespread condemnation. A UN report revealed police abuses, including unlawful raids and forced confessions. Duterte withdrew the Philippines from the ICC in 2019, but an investigation started in 2021. His arrest follows growing political tension with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Duterte, who is still popular in the Philippines, denies the charges. He now faces trial at the ICC, potentially becoming the first Asian former head of state to stand trial for crimes against humanity.

Syria's interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa and SDF commander Mazloum Abdi signed a historic agreement on March 10, 2025, to merge the Syrian government's forces with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), marking a significant step toward uniting the country after 14 years of conflict.

Analysts believe the SDF may have signed the deal to secure a safeguard against a potential U.S. troop withdrawal, as American forces have supported the SDF in countering the Islamic State.
