UNGA81: WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will meet with Delcy Rodriguez, the acting president of Venezuela, for the first time next week since his administration carried out an operation to capture the nation’s former leader and effectively put Rodriguez in charge. The gathering in New York City between the two leaders will be a “pull-aside” — diplomatic speak for a meeting that is more casual than a formal bilateral sit-down — said Mike Waltz, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Trump will be in town for the annual United Nations General Assembly. Waltz also told reporters on a Friday call that Trump will meet with Andy Burnham, the United Kingdom prime minister, and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. The Trump-Burnham meeting will be their first since Burnham became prime minister in July. Trump also will meet with leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council, which includes Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain. The meeting comes as the U.S. has struggled to find an endgame to the Iran war after more than six months.

Una verdadera pena, y hasta injusto, que una candidata de las calidades y experiencia de Michelle Bachelet reciba este trato. Sería una fantástica secretaria general.

Jens-Frederik Nielsen: We have reached an agreement with the United States and Denmark Premier of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen have confirmed in a press release that an agreement has now been secured with the United States to strengthen security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic. The dispute between the United States, Greenland and Denmark has now come to an end. Greenland, Denmark and the United States expect to sign an agreement in the coming week aimed at strengthening security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic, according to a statement from the Danish Prime Minister’s Office. “It is encouraging that we are close to concluding an agreement that safeguards and strengthens the security of Greenland, the Kingdom of Denmark, the United States and the Western alliance. The agreement recognizes Greenland’s interests and our place in international cooperation. This benefits us all,” Premier of Greenland Jens-Frederik Nielsen said in the statement. On January 14, 2026, Greenland, Denmark and the United States established a working group tasked with reaching an agreement following repeated statements by U.S. President Donald Trump that he wanted control over Greenland for reasons of “national security.” The purpose of the working group was to establish a framework acceptable to all three parties. Agreement expected to be signed next week Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also welcomed the agreement: “I am pleased that we now have the prospect of a good agreement for Greenland, the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States. An agreement that strengthens our shared security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic and therefore also benefits NATO and Europe. At the same time, it recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom and the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination,” Mette Frederiksen said. President confirms agreement Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that Denmark, the United States and Greenland have reached an agreement on Greenland that gives the United States “control over security.” “I am pleased to announce that the United States has reached an agreement with the Kingdom of Denmark and Greenland that gives the United States permanent control over security,” U.S. President Donald Trump wrote, among other things. —Sermitsiaq

Otunnu (Uganda) has passed Grossi (Argentina) who was once a front runner but Grynspan has maintained her lead.

If I were a betting man, my money would be on Grynspan. She looks unlikely to attract a veto, whereas Rodrigues Birkett is probably unacceptable to the US and Grossi to Russia.

Rebeca Grynspan al frente de la carrera por el puesto de Secretaria General de la ONU. Buena noticia, aunque aun pueden pasar muchas cosas, incluso pueden aparecer nuevos candidatos. Por cierto, Bachelet, la candidata promovida por México y Brasil, está practicamente fuera del juego

🇺🇳 ¡Qué no te manipulen! Aún no hay ganadores ni perdedores, sólo no han logrado una candidatura de consenso entre candidatas/os en carrera. Recordemos que: 1. La elección requiere que este órgano recomiende una candidatura a la Asamblea General. 2. Para avanzar hacia esa instancia se necesita el respaldo de al menos 9 de sus 15 miembros. 3. Y evitar el veto de cualquiera de los 5 integrantes permanentes: 🇺🇲Estados Unidos, 🇨🇳China, 🇷🇺Rusia, 🇫🇷Francia y 🇬🇧Reino Unido.
