The Trump administration has been secretly working with the Kremlin on a new peace plan, Axios reported.

The incident was the latest in a series of episodes across Europe for which authorities have suggested Moscow was responsible.

The US president said yesterday he would be “proud” to extend attacks to include land targets in Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela.

The move risks once again sparking tensions with Beijing, after the US and China reached a détente in their trade war.

Colombia and the UK said that they would pause all or some intelligence sharing after US attacks on vessels in Caribbean killed dozens.

Leader Xi Jinping has pushed to modernize the military to challenge US dominance in the South China Sea and assert sovereignty claims over Taiwan.

Israel and Hezbollah fought a brief but vicious ground war last year, in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attacks on Israel.

About 10,000 US troops and a dozen warships are in the Caribbean, amid a string of strikes on alleged drug boats linked to Venezuela.

Relations between the US and Russia have whipsawed, though Washington has shown warming ties with Kyiv in recent weeks.

Beijing has doubled its nuclear arsenal in five years, and Moscow recently announced tests of nuclear-powered cruise missiles.

Analysts expressed hope the peace deal would hold, thanks to pressure from Washington.

The move marks a significant warming of ties since Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Oval Office spat in February.
