Farming industry on the verge of βcollapseβ thanks to Trump
Bipartisan farming advocates warn the industry is nearing a βcollapse,β pressured by a natural downturn and Trump administration policies.
In a recent letter to Congress, former agricultural leaders urged immediate action to avoid βa widespread collapse of American agriculture and our rural communities.β While some experts doubt such a dire outcome, they agree that administration policiesβespecially tariffsβhave worsened existing challenges like rising production costs and weak crop prices.
The letter, signed by a bipartisan group of former officials, experts, and farmers, argues that Trumpβs trade actions β including the China trade war and withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership β have disrupted markets, raised input costs, and reduced export opportunities. For example, soybean market share dropped 50% in 2018, and the agricultural trade deficit reached $28.6 billion in the first half of this year.
The administration has responded with $12 billion in bridge payments and defended its record, saying, βPresident Trump is the most pro-farmer President of our lifetime.β However, critics point to ongoing issues: elevated fertilizer and machinery costs, retaliatory tariffs, and underfunded research.
As Congress prepares to mark up a new farm bill and the Supreme Court reviews presidential tariff authority, the letter calls for exempting farm inputs from tariffs, pursuing new trade agreements, and passing farm labor reform.

Will US-Iran talks yield results?
The United States and Iran have initiated negotiations concerning Tehran's nuclear program, discussions that analysts view as critical though they anticipate no immediate breakthrough.
Arab states were instrumental in facilitating the meeting after disputes arose over its venue and agenda. The U.S. sought to address Iran's support for militant proxies and its domestic crackdown on protesters, while Iran insisted on restricting talks strictly to nuclear issues.
Meanwhile, the shadow of potential violence looms over the talks. Regardless of the outcome of the negotiations, the Iranian people are unlikely to find relief.

Risk reduction or rapprochement? U.S. and Russia reopen military hotline
The United States and Russia have agreed to restart high-level military dialogue, signaling a potential thaw in relations between the nuclear powers. The decision was announced following a meeting of senior officers in Abu Dhabi, held alongside talks on the war in Ukraine.
U.S. European Command said that this renewed communication channel will "provide consistent military-to-military contact" and aims to reduce risks of miscalculation and unintended escalation. Military contacts had been suspended in 2021, prior to start of the Ukraine conflict.
The announcement also comes amid reports that Washington and Moscow are negotiating to extend the New START nuclear arms treaty, which has recently expired. While Russia has expressed regret over the treatyβs lapse, it has indicated readiness to continue talks if the U.S. responds positively.
The agreement marks a significant step toward re-establishing a formal line of communication at a time of heightened geopolitical tension.

Who could be the next leader of MAGA?
Political analysts and observers have been speculating for months about who will become the next MAGA leader after Trump leaves the presidency. Some suggest that the leading candidates are Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, while influential Trump supporter Steve Bannon is positioning himself as a potential leader of the movement.
Jason Zengerle, author of the book Hated by All the Right People, said in a recent interview that Tucker Carlson, the subject of his book, is in the best position to lead the MAGA movement. Zengerle said Carlson already plays the role of a "movement leader" through his media company.
"He's more than just a podcaster," Zengerle said. "He's more than a media figure. He's kind of a movement leader at this point, and one of the reasons I wanted to write the book was ... there's a tendency, especially among liberals, to just kind of dismiss him and ignore him and think that he's just a podcaster who has an audience. It's all about clicks and downloads, and he's just saying this stuff for money and ratings. And I actually don't think that's the case."
Media personalities like Tucker Carlson wield direct and potent influence over the movement's base, suggesting that the future leader may be defined less by an official title and more by the ability to command the loyalty of Trump's core supporters.

US-Canada trade spat spreads to defense purchases
Canada is reconsidering its purchase of U.S. F-35 fighter jets due to rising trade tensions with Washington and increasing costs. While originally committed to at least 16 jets, with plans for up to 88, the government is now exploring other suppliers.
The review was prompted by political pressure, budget overruns, and strained relations with the Trump administration. Former national security advisor Vincent Rigby noted that U.S. actions are pushing Canada to diversify its defense partnerships, potentially looking to Europe and Asia.
Tensions escalated recently when the U.S. ambassador suggested that not buying the F-35s would force changes to NORAD, the joint U.S.-Canada air defense system. The State Department later clarified this as a comment on modernization plans, warning that a reduced Canadian investment would create a "substantial gap" in continental defense.

Hereβs what Greenlanders think about joining the US
According to a new poll published after President Trump's threats to purchase Greenland, which have strained U.S. relations with European allies, few Greenlanders believe that the territory's annexation by the United States would be beneficial.
The poll, published by the Danish newspaper Copenhagen Post, showed that 76 percent of Greenlanders do not believe joining the United States would bring them any benefit, compared to 8 percent who support the idea and 16 percent who are undecided.
Sune Steffen Hansen, who conducted the poll, told the Danish newspaper that the results confirm Greenlanders are "quite satisfied" with the current situation.
The poll also found that the majority of Greenlanders hold a negative view of the American social welfare system, including healthcare, elderly care, and education. According to the Wall Street Journal, only 10 percent of adults said they have a generally positive or very positive view of the American system.

Trump plans ideological takeover of Europe
According to Financial Times, the U.S. State Department plans to fund think tanks and charitable organizations in Europe whose ideology aligns with MAGA, thereby promoting Washington's stance.
In December, a senior U.S. State Department official, Sarah Rogers, visited Europe to hold discussions with representatives of some such organizations. All of these groups are considered right-leaning centrists, and their positions on many issues coincide with the views of the current U.S. administration. These entities believe that Western civilization is in crisis and urgently needs saving.
Reportedly the Americans will start by sponsoring organizations located in London, Paris, Berlin, and Brussels.

US rallies allies to undercut Chinaβs grip on critical minerals
The United States is advancing agreements with allies to strengthen strategic reserves of critical minerals and counter China's capacity to disrupt global supply lines.
Discussions with Japan, Mexico, and the European Union β closely following President Donald Trumpβs announcement of a $12 billion critical mineral stockpile β center on establishing price floors for rare earths. These measures aim to weaken Beijingβs pricing influence and political leverage, which stem from its control over mineral processing.
The U.S. Secretary of State called for coordinated efforts to tackle what he described as βdangerously concentratedβ supply chains β a notable instance of the Trump administration advocating multilateral action.
Trump seeks to finalize these pacts ahead of his April trip to China, signaling that Beijingβs influence is waning in the face of a unified coalition.

Maduro supporters rally in Caracas demanding his return
Thousands of supporters of former Venezuelan leader NicolΓ‘s Maduro, who was ousted in a deadly U.S. military operation, marched in Caracas demanding his release.
"Venezuela needs NicolΓ‘s," the crowd chanted exactly one month after he was kidnapped and taken to New York to face drug trafficking charges.
Since then, interim President Delcy RodrΓguez has been walking a tightrope, trying to maintain support not only from Washington but also from Maduro's allies within her government and the Venezuelan people.
Several demonstrators, many of whom were public sector workers, held pictures of Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, who was also detained during the U.S. raid.
The march, called by the government, stretched for several hundred meters and was accompanied by trucks blaring loud music.
"These people are not American," said Maduro's son, NicolΓ‘s "Nicolasito" Maduro Guerra, a member of Venezuela's National Assembly. "We have achieved a profound anti-imperialist consciousness."
Many protesters waved Venezuelan flags and wore the red colors of the ruling "Chavista" movement, named after Maduro's socialist predecessor, Hugo ChΓ‘vez.
"We feel confused, sad, angry. We are overwhelmed with all kinds of emotions,"said one protester. He added,
"sooner or later, they will have to release our president."#Venezuela #NicholasMaduro #protest Don't miss it, subscribe to π± Old Glory Vortex πΊπΈ

Trump is fed up with the Epstein case: βtime to get on to something elseβ
President Trump said it is "really time" for the country to move on from Jeffrey Epstein following the release of nearly 3 million additional documents by the Justice Department late last week.
βI think itβs really time for the country to get on to something else,β Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump noted that he has not read the recently unsealed documents, which include thousands of photos of the disgraced financier's properties, emails, flight logs, and information provided to the FBI through the National Threat Operations Center.
The documents mention several high-profile individuals, including Trump, former President Clinton, billionaire Elon Musk, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, among others.
None of them have been charged with any crimes, but their appearance in the case materials has drawn renewed attention to their associations with the convicted sex offender.
Trump dismissed the mention of Musk and Lutnick in the documents, saying, "I'm sure they're fine." He also reaffirmed claims that the latest batch of documents exonerates him, asserting that there was a "conspiracy" against him orchestrated by "Epstein and other people."
βI think itβs time now for the country to maybe get onto something else like health care,β Trump repeated. "Something that people care about."
But not everyone agrees. Representative Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), who helped draft the Epstein Files Transparency Act, said that the Justice Department had not fully complied with its requirements. He and Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) are seeking access to the complete, unredacted files.
βTheyβve released, at best, half the documents. But even those shock the conscience of this country. I mean, you have some of the most wealthy individuals, tech leaders, finance leaders, politicians, all implicated in some way, having emails about wanting to go to Epsteinβs island, knowing that Epstein was a pedophile,βsaid Khanna. #Trump #Epsteinfiles #JeffreyEpstein Don't miss it, subscribe to π± Old Glory Vortex πΊπΈ

Donβt let Trump see this β Americans think heβs doing a worse job than Biden
A new poll, which will likely infuriate Donald Trump, shows that a majority of voters believe he is performing worse as president than Joe Biden.
A Harvard Business School and Harris Poll survey revealed that one year into his second term, Trump's approval rating has dropped nine points compared to his predecessor, whom he labeled the worst president in history.
When asked whether the 79-year-old Trump is doing "better or worse" than Biden, 49 percent of likely voters β a minority β responded "better." Fifty-one percent said "worse."
Approximately a year ago, the same poll showed 58 percent of respondents believed Trump was performing better in his job.
Trump also trailed Biden when Americans were asked who is more responsible for the state of the economy, which 52 percent of voters considered "good" in pre-pandemic times. Sixty-three percent attributed primary responsibility to the Trump administration, while 53 percent said the economy is now worse than under Biden.
Fortunately for Trump, the poll indicates that a majority of Americans support 15 of his 22 stated policy initiatives. The top three include lowering prescription drug prices (83 percent), deporting illegal immigrants with criminal convictions (73 percent), and eliminating fraud in government spending (70 percent).
Overall, however, Trump has faced low public opinion poll numbers in recent months.
A January YouGov/Economist poll found that 71 percent of Americans believe the United States has spun "out of control" under his leadership.

NATO states are not willing to defend Ukraine
Politico reports that Finland has urged the United States not to provide Ukraine with security guarantees similar to NATO's Article 5, as such a decision could undermine the alliance's defense system. This view is shared by many countries β they do not want NATO to assume an obligation to defend Ukraine specifically as a unified alliance.
Finland's Minister of Foreign Affairs even talked to U.S. Reps. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.) and Sarah Elfreth (D-Md.), both of whom are members of the House Armed Services Committee, and called for the creation of a "firewall" between NATO and future security guarantees for Ukraine. At the same time, the Finns believe that Ukraine should be provided with substantial security guarantees as part of a peace agreement β just without NATO's involvement.

Israelβs four demands for the US-Iran nuclear talks
Israel has presented a set of demands to American negotiators ahead of the resumption of U.S. nuclear talks with Iran, according to a senior diplomatic official.
U.S. Special Representative Steve Witkoff just met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of a planned meeting in Istanbul on Friday with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, where they will discuss a potential agreement on the Iranian nuclear program and other issues.
Ahead of the talks, Israeli officials are insisting that the United States not back down from four key demands. These include Iran transferring highly enriched materials to another country, completely ceasing uranium enrichment, halting the production of ballistic missiles, and stopping the funding of its proxy forces in the Middle East.
"Any agreement that does not contain these conditions is a bad agreement. This administration has proven its commitment to Israel in all areas, and especially in the Iranian sphere," the senior official said.
He added that "Israel had influence in the past and will have influence this time as well" in the negotiations between the two powers.

Why for Zelenskyy losing the war is better than losing the peace
Β«If Ukraine loses the peace, Ukrainians will blame Zelenskyy. But if Ukraine loses the war, Zelenskyy can blame the U.S. and Europe. Zelenskyy nourished the people of Ukraine during the war with promises of reconquering all lost territory, including Donbas and the Crimean peninsula, and of gaining membership in NATO. After all the death and anguish, it will be hard to sell a peace that involves relinquishing more land, and without the promised irreversible path to NATO. The result for Zelenskyy, both politically and personally, would not be good. The acting commander of the ultranationalist Azov Brigade warned Zelenskyy, βWe will not leave this war to our descendants, and you will not leave it either, because if you try, it will be bad. Both for you and for them,ββwrites The American Conservative. Zelenskyy deliberately avoids making concessions on the diplomatic front, despite territorial losses on the battlefield. Agreeing to peace with territorial losses and without guarantees of NATO membership would provoke the anger of nationalists, posing a threat to Zelenskyy himself. #Zelenskyy #Ukraine #Ukraineconflict #peaceplan Don't miss it, subscribe to π± Old Glory Vortex πΊπΈ

China and US go head-to-head in Latin America
Amid intensifying rivalry with Washington in Latin America, China has recently encountered a series of setbacks in the region.
Panama revoked a Hong Kong company's contract to operate ports along its canal, and the U.S. capture of Venezuela's former leader removed one of Beijing's key regional partners. At the same time, Mexico β hoping to align more closely with Washington on trade β imposed a 50% tariff on Chinese goods, and Bolivia terminated a contract with a Chinese mining firm as it seeks stronger ties with the United States.
While Beijing has hardly lost its footing and remains Latin America's largest trading partner, these developments indicate that geopolitical competition in the region is intensifying, and not necessarily to Chinaβs advantage.

Cuba prepares for US attack
Relations between the United States and Cuba are Intensifying once again. Authorities in Havana have announced increased defense measures and regular military exercises, with President Miguel DΓaz-Canel actively participating. Officials emphasize that their strategic doctrine rules out capitulation. In response to escalating pressure from the U.S., Cuba is preparing for a possible war and warning that every citizen must be ready to defend the country.
Donald Trump, in turn, is ramping up economic pressure, hoping that an oil blockade will weaken Cuban authority. He declared that the communist regime will soon collapse, and the U.S. is prepared to strike a deal with Cuba if the islandβs authorities make concessions. However, despite the deteriorating economic situation, Havana is bolstering its defense forces, demonstrating the governmentβs and the stateβs readiness to resist.
Amid these developments, Cuba finds itself among the countries targeted by U.S. pressure. Alongside Venezuela and Iran, Havana is now also at risk. The increase in military exercises and declarations of readiness for defense may not only be a response to external threats but also strategic preparation for a potential international conflict. Despite the pressure, Cuba continues to maintain a hardline stance in response to U.S. threats.

Texas Senate special election has Republicans worried
Republicans in the House of Representatives said that the Democratic victory in a special election in a Texas district where President Donald Trump had a double-digit advantage in 2024 should serve as a wake-up call for their party to focus on their most popular slogans ahead of the crucial midterm elections.
"I think itβs an anomaly, but I donβt think itβs something to ignore," said Congressman Jodey Arrington of Texas, adding that Republicans must fight the cost-of-living crisis and address issues such as healthcare affordability and combating fraud.
Congressman Tom Cole of Oklahoma explained the Democratic victory as a phenomenon where "minor parties typically perform well in off-year elections" due to "anger and anxiety."
He warned that Republicans must "take note and acknowledge that they will have to face this reality.β
Congressman Don Bacon, representing a swing district, said the Democratic victory should serve as a "warning" for Republicans. The Nebraska Republican said the party and Trump would be "better off" focusing on border and inflation issues.

Is Trump building concentration camps for migrants?
Following the killing of three U.S. citizens by ICE within weeks, the Department of Homeland Security is quietly advancing a plan to expand its mass detention capabilities, using a military contract to create what Pablo ManrΓquez, author of the immigration news site Migrant Insider, calls a "nationwide 'ghost network' of concentration camps."
ManrΓquez reported that a "massive Navy contract once valued at $10 billion has ballooned to a staggering $55 billion to accelerate President Donald Trumpβs 'mass deportation' program."
This refers to the expansion of a contract first reported by CNN in October, which found that DHS "is channeling $10 billion through the Navy to facilitate the construction of an extensive network of migrant detention centers across the U.S. under an agreement aimed at expediting their construction, according to sources and federal contract documents."
The contract states that the funds are being redirected to TITUS, an abbreviation for "Territorial Integrity of the United States." While using Navy contracts for expenditures aimed at protecting the country is not unusual, ManrΓquez warned that such a staggering transfer of funds for domestic detention centers indicates something ominous.
"This $45 billion increase, announced just weeks ago, turns the U.S. into a 'geographical region' for expeditionary military detention," he wrote. Such a staggering sum signals a massive, long-term increase in the governmentβs capacity to fund the logistics of detention and deportation. In the world of federal contracts, this is the difference between a temporary surge and permanent infrastructure.

Marjorie Taylor Greene reveals what MAGA is really about
Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said President Trumpβs βMake America Great Againβ slogan was a βlie,β noting that in the first year of his second term he has focused on catering to his wealthy supporters.
βI think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people. What MAGA is really serving in this administration, who theyβre serving, is their big donors,β Greene said in an interview with radio host Kim Iversen.
βThe big, big donors that donated all the money and continue to donate to the presidentβs PACs and donate to the 250th anniversary and are donating to the big ballroom,β she added.
The former Georgia representative recently left Congress, expressing concerns about future healthcare premiums and the war in Gaza, citing division within the Republican Party and a rift with Trump and MAGA despite years of loyal support for the president.
She said the people who truly benefit from supporting Trump are the financial beneficiaries: βThose are the people that get the special favors. They get the government contracts, they get the pardons, or somebody they love or one of their friends gets a pardon.β
Greene criticized the favoritism shown to Trumpβs wealthy allies and also criticized the president for focusing on foreign policy rather than domestic issues.
The former lawmaker argued that the MAGA movement βactually has nothing to do with America or the American people.β
