President Calls Somalis ‘Garbage’ He Doesn’t Want in the U.S.

THE NEW YORK TIMES: President Trump used a public cabinet meeting to call Somali immigrants “garbage,” saying that they did not belong in the United States. Even for a president who has frequently made derogatory comments about immigrants, the rant against Somalis was an alarming use of vulgarity from the White House against an entire community. The tirade came as Immigration and Customs Enforcement was planning an operation targeting Somali migrants in Minnesota. » | NYT | Tuesday, December 2, 2025

Putin Accuses Europe of Blocking US Efforts to End War in Ukraine

THE GUARDIAN: Russian president says European demands ‘not acceptable’ as key talks begin in Moscow with Witkoff and Kushner

Vladimir Putin has accused Europe of standing in the way of US efforts to end the war in Ukraine, as he began key talks in the Kremlin with Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, and the US president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

Witkoff, on his sixth trip to Moscow this year, is to present Putin with an updated version of a US peace proposal drafted with input from a senior Russian official and reworked to make it more acceptable to Kyiv.

The two Trump allies arrived in Moscow on Tuesday after meeting Ukrainian officials at the weekend in Florida to discuss revisions to the original 28-point peace plan, which overwhelmingly favoured Moscow.

The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on a diplomatic push to rally support among European capitals that have backed changes to the original plan, said in Paris that the updated version of the proposal “looks better” but emphasised it was “not over yet”.

Moments before the closed-door meeting with Witkoff and Kushner, Putin made a series of hard-edged remarks. Speaking to reporters at the Kremlin, he accused European governments of sabotaging the peace process and said that “European demands” on ending the war in Ukraine were “not acceptable to Russia”.

“Europe is preventing the US administration from achieving peace on Ukraine,” Putin said, adding: “Russia does not intend to fight Europe, but if Europe starts, we are ready right now.” » | Pjotr Sauer | Tuesday, December 2, 2025

À Beyrouth, le pape appelle le Moyen-Orient à « surmonter les divisions politiques, sociales et religieuses »

LE FIGARO : Léon XIV présidait ce mardi une messe en plein air devant environ 150.000 personnes. Peu de temps auparavant, il s’était rendu sur le site de l’explosion de 2020, qui avait ravagé en 2020 le port de la capitale libanaise.

Encourager, encore et toujours. Au dernier jour de sa visite à Beyrouth, Léon XIV n’a cessé de demander aux Libanais de croire au renouveau de leur pays. Jusqu’à donner presque un ordre, pendant la messe finale, en plein air, sur le bord de mer, devant 150 000 personnes : « Liban, relève-toi ! Sois une maison de justice et de fraternité ! Sois une prophétie de paix pour tout le Levant ! ». » | Par Jean-Marie Guénois | mardi 2 décembre 2025

Venezuela : Maduro danse en défiant les menaces d’intervention américaine

LE FIGARO : VIDÉO - Le président vénézuélien Nicolas Maduro a promis lundi de rester «pour toujours au service du peuple», alors qu’il rassemble ses partisans à Caracas dans une démonstration de force pour son mouvement socialiste.

Danser pour oublier. Alors que les menaces d’intervention américaine s’intensifient sur son pays, le président vénézuélien a rassemblé ses partisans à Caracas et assuré qu’il ne se laisserait pas intimider. Nicolas Maduro semblait imperturbable sur scène lundi 1er décembre en dansant sur un remix de ses propres slogans pacifistes.

Le morceau électronique, intitulé «Paz si, guerro no» (La paix oui, la guerre non), reprend en effet des extraits de discours de Maduro. Des centaines de milliers de partisans, brandissant des drapeaux vénézuéliens, ont assisté à la cérémonie. La foule a acclamé l’homme de 63 ans, coiffé d’une casquette rouge rappelant la casquette de baseball MAGA, lorsqu’il s’est mis à danser. » | Par Juliette Picard | mardi 2 décembre 2025

Au lieu que Nicolás Maduro fuie le Venezuela, il serait bien plus judicieux que Trump quitte la Maison-Blanche ! Nicolás Maduro a sa place au Venezuela, car il est vénézuélien. Trump, en revanche, n'a pas sa place à la Maison-Blanche, car c'est un imposteur. Il a vraiment le culot d'exiger que Maduro quitte son propre pays. De toute façon, Trump ne veut de lui qu'une chose : s'emparer des précieuses réserves pétrolières du pays. Il veut s'enrichir encore davantage, lui et les autres Trump. C'est répugnant ! — © Mark Alexander

«Globalement, son système cardiovasculaire montre une excellente santé. Son imagerie abdominale est aussi parfaitement normale. Tous les organes majeurs paraissent très sains et bien irrigués», a déclaré le médecin de la présidence, Sean Barbabella. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | mardi 2 décembre 2025
