President Donald Trump announced late Friday that U.S. and Nigerian forces carried out an operation that killed a global ISIS leader.
Trump identified the terrorist as Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, whom he described as ISIS’s second-in-command globally.
«Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield,» Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
«Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS globally, thought he could hide in Africa, but little did he know we had sources who kept us informed on what he was doing,» Trump continued. «He will no longer terrorize the people of Africa, or help plan operations to target Americans.»

Dos grandes navieras europeas dejaron de tomar pedidos relacionados con Cuba tras las sanciones de EEUU

Las navieras internacionales Hapag-Lloyd (alemana) y CMA CGM (francesa) dejaron de aceptar nuevos pedidos relacionados con Cuba mientras evalúan los posibles efectos de la reciente Orden Ejecutiva de Estados Unidos que amplía las sanciones sobre la isla.
Fuentes del sector informaron que ambas empresas, que operan en Cuba a través de agentes y sin presencia física, suspendieron temporalmente el registro de reservas para el transporte de mercancías, según logró confirmar la agencia EFE.
En el caso de Hapag-Lloyd, la compañía implementó un “stop booking” desde el pasado miércoles y, como máximo, hasta el 5 de junio, fecha límite establecida por las autoridades estadounidenses para que las empresas potencialmente afectadas por la nueva orden se desvinculen de actividades con Cuba. Expertos del sector explicaron que este tipo de medida es habitual y suele tener carácter preventivo.
Por su parte, el agente de CMA CGM en Cuba no recibió directivas claras de la naviera, aunque su sistema operativo bloqueó nuevas reservas hacia la isla, según fuentes consultadas.
La industria marítima cubana mantiene una relación directa con Gaesa, conglomerado empresarial de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias (FAR), responsable de aproximadamente el 40% del producto interno bruto (PIB) de Cuba según estimaciones independientes y recientemente sancionado por la nueva Orden Ejecutiva de Estados Unidos.
Gaesa gestiona puertos, terminales marítimas, servicios de aduanas y la Zona Especial de Desarrollo Mariel, además de sectores como el turismo, el comercio interior en divisas, la distribución de combustibles y las telecomunicaciones.
Hasta el momento, Hapag-Lloyd y CMA CGM no respondieron a las solicitudes de información sobre su posición frente a la nueva normativa estadounidense.
El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, firmó el 1 de mayo la Orden Ejecutiva 14404, que habilita el congelamiento de activos en territorio estadounidense de personas o entidades que trabajen o hayan trabajado para el régimen cubano, o que estén implicadas en violaciones de derechos humanos o actos de corrupción en la isla.
La medida también alcanza a quienes brinden apoyo financiero, material o tecnológico a Cuba, así como a quienes operen en sectores estratégicos como energía, defensa, finanzas, minería y seguridad.
Una semana después de la entrada en vigor de la orden, se anunciaron los primeros tres sancionados: el conglomerado Gaesa, la presidenta de esa entidad, Ania Guillermina Lastres, y la empresa mixta Moa Nickel, integrada por una compañía estatal cubana y la minera canadiense Sherritt.
Horas antes del anuncio, Sherritt comunicó su retirada inmediata de todas sus operaciones en Cuba en respuesta a la Orden Ejecutiva 14404, tras tres décadas de actividad en la isla. La empresa canadiense dejó así yacimientos de níquel y cobalto considerados entre los diez mayores del mundo.
La decisión empresarial, hasta ahora la mayor inversión extranjera en Cuba, llevó a sus proveedores y compañías asociadas a reconsiderar su continuidad en el país.
Por su parte, el secretario de Estado de Estados Unidos, Marco Rubio, reiteró sus críticas al régimen cubano y aseguró que la isla “está controlada por una empresa propiedad de generales militares”, en referencia al conglomerado Gaesa.
“La riqueza en Cuba está controlada por una empresa propiedad de generales militares que se quedan con todo el dinero”, afirmó Rubio durante una entrevista con Fox News, emitida el miércoles por la noche y grabada a bordo del Air Force One rumbo a China.
Rubio sostuvo que en Cuba las personas “literalmente comen basura de las calles”, mientras la “empresa” que controla la isla dispone de “16.000 millones de dólares”.
El jefe de la diplomacia estadounidense señaló que las nuevas sanciones forman parte de “medidas decisivas” para “proteger la seguridad nacional de los Estados Unidos y privar al régimen comunista y a las fuerzas militares de Cuba del acceso a activos ilícitos”.
El Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos describió a la empresa militar Gaesa como “el corazón del sistema comunista cleptocrático de Cuba”, al señalar que controla “un estimado del 40% o más de la economía de la isla”. Según la misma fuente, la gestión de Gaesa favorece a las “élites corruptas”, mientras la población cubana enfrenta una crisis económica severa.

Trump admin launches ‘summer surge’ of feds to make DC safest city in America ahead of 250th anniversary

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force is launching a massive «summer surge» of federal law enforcement to ensure Washington, D.C., is the safest city in America ahead of the nation’s 250th Independence Day celebrations.
During a news conference Friday, leaders touted the Trump administration’s success in driving down violent crime in the city since the D.C. task force launched last year.
The joint law enforcement operation has resulted in nearly 13,000 arrests, the seizure of more than 1,400 illegal guns, the apprehension of 32 murder suspects, and the recovery of 23 missing children.
Due to the aggressive enforcement efforts, overall crime in D.C. has plummeted 26%, with homicides dropping nearly 50% and carjackings down 60%. The U.S. Attorney’s Office added it has secured more than 7,000 convictions over the past year.

Officials said a focal point of the summer surge will be crushing the «teen takeovers» that have terrorized D.C. neighborhoods and shut down local businesses.
Blasting the D.C. Council for «refusing to deal with the problem,» U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced a zero-tolerance policy that shifts the legal burden onto the parents of delinquent youth.
Starting immediately, federal prosecutors will charge parents under a D.C. statute for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Parents who drop their kids off, fail to supervise them or allow them to skip school to participate in the chaos will face fines, court-mandated classes and up to six months in jail.

«Law-abiding taxpayers should no longer have to pay for parental neglect,» Pirro said. «Parents, do your jobs or we will do ours. In the end, taxpayers will no longer subsidize the chaos caused by parental neglect.»
Noting that the task force is «coming for perfection,» officials said multiple federal agencies will flood the district with personnel and advanced technology to root out remaining criminal networks.
A formal request has been made for an additional 1,500 National Guardsmen to deploy to D.C., bringing the total troop presence to 5,000.

The task force will also deploy high-visibility patrols, drones, tactical K-9 units and helicopters to curb crime.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) said it will ramp up resources to target out-of-state drug trafficking cartels, arguing that drug dealers should be «treated like terrorists.»
Meanwhile, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said it will increase operations to seize illegal firearms being trafficked into the city from Maryland and Virginia.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) will double its special agents on the streets to target identity theft and those who fraudulently obtain housing without paying rent.
In a stark warning to anyone planning political violence in the capital, Pirro said offenders will face «the full wrath of the law,» announcing her office filed notice to seek the death penalty against Elias Rodriguez, 31, the suspect accused of murdering two young Israeli embassy staff members at the Capitol Jewish Museum on May 21, 2025.
