Akshay and Neha say they are worried about their child's future
Trump's citizenship order leaves expecting Indian immigrant parents in limbo
SAN FRANCISCO — Neha Satpute and Akshay Pise felt ready to welcome their first child.Having worked in the US for more than a decade, the Indian couple who are engineers on H-1B visas for skilled foreign workers, expected their son — due on 26 February — to be born an American citizen.Employed at a large tech firm with a supportive parental leave policy, they had carefully built their life in San Jose, California.But President Donald Trump recently threw a wrench in their American dream by announcing a rule that would deny automatic US citizenship to children born to temporary foreign workers. Until now, birthright citizenship had been a given regardless of parents' immigration status.A federal judge in Maryland has blocked the order, extending an initial two-week block imposed by...

Trump imposes 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday imposed a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports into the United States with no exceptions or exemptions.Although the United States gets most of its steel from Canada, Brazil and Mexico, the tariffs are largely — albeit indirectly — aimed at China.“This is a big deal — making America rich again,” Trump said in announcing the tariffs, according to a pool report.America imports very little steel directly from China, by far the world’s largest producer of steel. Steel tariffs of 25% launched in Trump’s first administration and continued by former President Joe Biden resulted in American importers shifting to other sources.Yet Chinese steel does make its way into the United States secondhand. Some is purchased by foreign...

The Cook Islands is the latest Pacific country to strengthen its ties with China
New Zealand and Cook Islands fall out over China deal
WELLINGTON — New Zealand has accused the Cook Islands government of a lack of transparency over its plans to strike a partnership deal with China.The tiny Pacific Island nation's leader, Mark Brown, is this week making his country's first ever state visit to Beijing in order to sign the agreement.However, New Zealand says it was not properly consulted over the plans, leading to what Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has described as a "dispute".The Cook Islands is hugely reliant on New Zealand under a longstanding "free association" agreement that provides it with defence and financial support. China's growing influence in the Pacific has challenged the US and its allies, who have held sway for years."We value our partnership with New Zealand and we...

Hundreds of migrants rescued off the coast of the Canary Islands
MADRID — Hundreds of migrants were rescued off the coast off the Canary Islands on Monday.Most of the 389 migrants were men, but there were also 46 women and five minors according to local authorities.Five of the rescued boats were heading to Lanzarote, while two were heading to the island of El Hierro.Emergency services said the migrants were transported to the Spanish ports of Los Cristianos after being rescued by sea and air crews.More than 43,000 migrants arrived to the Canary Islands in 2024, a record-breaking figure.Last year, European politics took a turn to the right – particularly after EU elections in June.As such, many EU member states have started to update their migration policies, just as migration also comes at the top of the European Council's agenda.In a letter to...

Trump doubles down on plan to take over Gaza
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has doubled down on his plan to take control of Gaza, and said that he could allow other states in the Middle East to rebuild parts of the war-ravaged enclave.“I’m committed to buying and owning Gaza. As far as us rebuilding it, we may give it to other states in the Middle East to build sections of it," Trump told reporters onboard Air Force One as he traveled to the Super Bowl in New Orleans on Sunday."Other people may do it through our auspices. But we’re committed to owning it, taking it, and making sure that Hamas doesn’t move back. There’s nothing to move back into. The place is a demolition site. The remainder will be demolished," he added.Trump described the enclave as "the most dangerous site anywhere in the...

The campaign was dominated by the incumbent, Daniel Noboa's hard-line approach to Ecuador's violent drug gangs
Ecuador election ends in a 'tie' prompting run-off
QUITO — Ecuador's presidential election will go to a second round after a closely contested first-round result failed to produce an outright winner.The electoral authorities called it a "technical tie" after the incumbent center-right Daniel Noboa and his main left-wing challenger Luisa Gonzalez received nearly identical percentages of the vote.The pair will now face a run-off in April.The result is far narrower than opinion polls predicted, indicating the second round could be harder to call.The narrow result also dashed the hopes of Noboa's supporters, who had been buoyed by an early exit poll suggesting he might clinch victory outright.The president's supporters gathered in Quito, waving flags, donning T-shirts with his image and holding life-size cardboard...
