European Council President António Costa on Monday warned the United States against interfering in Europe’s affairs and said only European citizens can decide which parties should govern them. The remarks came in reaction to the Trump administration’s new national security strategy, which was published on Friday and paints European allies as weak, while offering tacit support to far-right political parties.

"Think about that: if these men were the “narco-terrorists” the #Pentagon claims, they would have been paraded around as proof.
Instead, the #Defense Dept destroyed the only documentation...
This is a top-down moral collapse under #PeteHegseth & whoever in the #Trump orbit green-lit these illegal strikes. And let’s be clear: if a private citizen killed 85 people with no #legal authority, we wouldn’t debate terminology — we’d call it #murder."

Dear #Guardian #TheGuardian - wtf is wrong with you?! The story is fine, but the headline is unbelievable! "Family of victim in #Trump drug boat killings files first formal complaint" - what? "Drug boat?!" There is no evidence whatsoever that these boats are carrying drugs! This headline validates Trump´s specious claim! Not to mention that drug offences in the US are not capital offences, and even if these boats were "drug boats", the #US has no right to murder people for an ostensible drug offence. Egad, Guardian. What has become of you? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/02/trump-caribbean-drug-boat-attack-complaint
