The Trump administration has lifted sanctions on Delcy Rodriguez, Venezuela's acting president, as part of an effort to normalize relations with the Venezuelan government. The move comes after the U.S. recognized Rodriguez as Venezuela's leader and began taking steps to reopen the U.S. Embassy in Caracas. The decision is seen as a step towards rebuilding ties with Venezuela, which has been without formal diplomatic relations with the U.S. since 2019. Rodriguez was sanctioned by the U.S. in 2018 due to her ties to Nicolás Maduro, whose removal from power was facilitated by a U.S. special forces raid. The U.S. is seeking to incentivize investment in Venezuela's oil sector, and the removal of sanctions is expected to allow American oil companies to spend on infrastructure and production.

President Trump is considering withdrawing the U.S. from NATO, despite a law passed by Congress in 2023 that requires his approval to do so. Trump has long been critical of NATO, citing the alliance's member countries' lack of defense spending. The president's frustration has increased due to NATO allies' reluctance to assist the U.S. in its war with Iran. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also expressed concerns about the value of NATO for the U.S. However, experts argue that Trump's attempt to withdraw from NATO would likely face legal challenges, and some Senate Republicans may oppose the move. The president's increasingly hostile stance toward NATO may weaken the alliance, even without an official exit.

An investigation in Nepal has uncovered a nearly $20 million insurance scam involving guides who allegedly fake or induce mountainside rescues near Mt. Everest. The scam involves guides suggesting to tired adventurers that they feign illness to be rescued by helicopter, or scaring trekkers at high altitude and claiming they are in danger of dying. In some cases, guides allegedly laced food with baking powder to cause people to be unwell. The investigation found that between 2022 and 2025, 4,782 foreign patients were serviced at implicated hospitals, with 171 cases verified as fraudulent rescues. The scam involved hospitals, trekking businesses, and chopper rescue operators, with hospitals shelling out 20-25% of the insurance money to these parties in return for patient referrals.

A new report by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies alleges that under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkey has become a hub for Islamist movements, including the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, raising concerns about its role in the Middle East and its implications for NATO.

This shift reflects a broader transformation in how Turkey defines threats, with Erdoğan redefining what constitutes a terrorist entity to align with his pan-Islamist view. The report's findings have sparked scrutiny over Turkey's relationship with Hamas and its support for opposition forces in Syria, potentially exposing Turkish officials to U.S. sanctions.

Chinese airlines are implementing various measures to reduce fuel costs amid the surge in oil prices resulting from the Middle East conflict. These measures include controlling aircraft weight, sending more flights to Europe via Russian airspace, stricter load and weight control, taxiing on one engine, and optimizing fuel load planning.

The average price of jet fuel has risen to $195 a barrel, up from $99.4 a month earlier, according to the International Air Transport Association. The conflict in the Middle East, specifically the US-Israel war on Iran, has led to a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping chokepoint, causing fuel prices to soar.
