Colombian President Gustavo Petro ordered the state-run oil company Ecopetrol to cancel a joint venture with a US-owned company, citing environmental concerns. The partnership was expected to produce around 90,000 barrels of oil per day. In a nationally televised speech, Mr Petro said he opposed the recent extension of a deal between Ecopetrol and Occidental Petroleum, or Oxy because it involved extracting oil through fracking, a controversial technique used to extract oil and gas from shale rock that has been criticised by environmental groups. “I want that operation to be sold, and for the money to be invested in clean…

Thousands of USAID employees already had been laid off and programmes worldwide shut down after President Donald Trump imposed a sweeping freeze on foreign assistance after taking office. Elon Musk’s budget-slashing Department of Government Efficiency had taken USAID’s website offline over the weekend as it steadily dismantled the agency, which has been a special target of…

Northwestern University and four other schools are under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education for what the federal agency is calling “widespread antisemitic harassment” after mass student protests that broke out last spring against the Israel-Hamas war. The Education Department said it is launching its investigation under Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color or national origin in programs or activities — like universities — that receive federal financial assistance. “These investigations build upon the foundational work of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce under then-Chairwoman Virginia Foxx, which…
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Two-time All-Star shortstop Tim Anderson has agreed to a minor-league contract with the Los Angeles Angels and will report to big-league spring training with a chance to revive his career.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested that displaced Palestinians in Gaza be permanently resettled outside the war-torn territory and proposed the U.S. take “ownership” in redeveloping the area. Trump’s audacious proposal appears certain to roil the next stage of talks meant to extend the tenuous ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and secure the release of the remaining hostages held in Gaza. The provocative comments came as talks are ramping up this week with the promise of surging humanitarian aid and reconstruction supplies to help the people of Gaza recover after more than 15 months of devastating conflict. Now Trump…

Other options had included closures of smaller USAID missions and partial closures of larger ones.
