Colombian President Petro:

The armed mafia of Colombia is made up of different cartels with foreign command. Trump is wrong—he thinks they are Colombians.

Some are Colombian, but they do not live in Colombia. They live in Spain; they used to live in Dubai but moved because of the war in Palestine and Iran, with permission from the United States.

They keep trafficking to Europe and Australia, and they keep killing us here. We are left with the dead, while the profits stay with the owners of the mafia.

Colombian President Petro:

Drug trafficking profits, for the most part, stay in international banks, in buildings in the United States, where they put illegal gold in real estate companies in the United States.

That doesn’t come here. So we are left with the dead.

Zelensky:

There is no discussion of nuclear weapons within the framework of security guarantees.

Anders Vistisen, Danish member of the European Parliament, on Trump’s Greenland remarks:

It is appalling and, frankly, stupid to continue to talk about capturing a NATO country.

We don’t see it as very realistic that U.S. troops would enter Nuuk anytime soon.

Anders Vistisen, Danish member of the European Parliament:

What has America done? They have closed over 30 bases in Greenland because they didn't find it militarily significant to be there, to the point where there was only one American base left.

Anders Vistisen, Danish member of the European Parliament:

To taunt the Danish special forces who protect Greenland is very easy. But I would like to see how many American soldiers who can cope with these Arctic temperatures in this very harsh environment.

I don't think it's something that you get many soldiers to do from the American continent.

Zelensky:

Let the United States do the same to Kadyrov as it did to Maduro.

Maybe then Putin will see and think about it.

Chinese Foreign Ministry:

The United States has violated Venezuela’s sovereignty through force and illegal sanctions. China strongly condemns these actions.

Kuno Fencker, a member of Greenland's parliament, on Trump:

I’m a bit sick and tired of hearing it.

This kind of reaction—like a child having a tantrum—needs to stop.

Republican Senator Rick Scott:

This is the start of changing Venezuela, then we're gonna fix Cuba, Nicaragua will get fixed, next year we'll get a new president in Colombia. Democracy is coming back to this hemisphere.

Hegseth:

The blockade of sanctioned and illicit Venezuelan oil remains in FULL EFFECT — anywhere in the world.

Russia is bypassing sanctions to obtain Starlink terminals for military use through a covert import network.

The UAE (especially a Sharjah-based logistics firm Emaross Group FZE) is a key transit hub, with terminals smuggled via false customs declarations and routed through places like Hong Kong and Europe.

Despite Starlink not operating in Russia, terminals are widely available on Russian markets and are now integrated into military drones, giving Russian forces long-range, jam-resistant communications.

Russian drones such as Molniya-2 variants were fitted with standardized mini-Starlink mounts.

SpaceX denies any involvement, but black-market access continues.

An anonymous crypto bettor made $436,000 on Polymarket by betting that Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro would be captured, placing the wager just hours before the U.S. officially announced it.

The timing sparked suspicions of insider information.

BREAKING: SOUTHCOM announces the seizure of another vessel: M/T Sophia.

SOUTHCOM:

In a pre-dawn action this morning, the Department of War, in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, apprehended a stateless, sanctioned dark fleet motor tanker without incident.

The interdicted vessel, M/T Sophia, was operating in international waters and conducting illicit activities in the Caribbean Sea. The U.S. Coast Guard is escorting M/T Sophia to the U.S. for final disposition.

Through Operation Southern Spear, the Department of War is unwavering in its mission to crush illicit activity in the Western Hemisphere. We will defend our Homeland and restore security and strength across the Americas.

Secretary Kristi Noem:

In two predawn operations today, the Coast Guard conducted back-to-back meticulously coordinated boarding of two “ghost fleet” tanker ships— one in the North Atlantic Sea and one in international waters near the Caribbean.

Both vessels —the Motor Tanker Bella I and the Motor Tanker Sophia—were either last docked in Venezuela or en route to it.

The world’s criminals are on notice. You can run, but you can’t hide.
