U.S. PresidentDonald Trump has announced ground attacks on drug cartels in Mexico.

"We're going to start ground raids on drug cartels," Trump said last night on Fox New TV

"(Drugs) are driving Mexico. It's very sad to see what's happened in that country. But in the United States, 250,000 to 300,000 people die every year from the drug that the cartels put in," the Republican leader added in the interview. 

Since Trump began his second term, he has intensified the fight against drug trafficking. As for Mexico, he has proposed sending the U.S. military to fight drug trafficking. 

Mexican PresidentClaudia Sheinbaum has rejected Trump's proposal, claiming that he is a sovereign country and that he is committed to peace. 

Trump will meet with Venezuela's opposition leader

Trump explained last night in the same interview that next week he will meet with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machadoin the United States after the US arrested Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores last weekend. 

"I think he's coming next week and I want to say hi to him," he explained.

The US president has declared that "it would be a great honour" to receive the Nobel Prize from Machado after the opposition said he would be willing to share the award he received in December in Oslo, Norway.

Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in Minneapolis to protest the shooting of Renee Good by an immigration agent

Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of central Minneapolis again this Saturday in protest over the murder last Wednesday of a woman by an agent of the Immigration and Customs Control Service. The demonstration has been called by the Minnesota Committee on Action for the Rights of Immigrants, very close to where the murder took place.  Local leaders, including Governor Tim Walz, have defended the need for the Minnesota Criminal Detention Bureau to be involved in the case, but have reported from that organization that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has vetoed their access to material related to the case. The FBI has left the investigation to itself.
