Tuesday morning, the ALBA ship “Manuel Gual” arrived at the “Guillermón Moncada” port in Santiago de Cuba with a cargo of 5,000 tons of humanitarian aid destined for the areas most affected by Hurricane Melissa.

A series of consultations or elections have just taken place in the United States that, under other circumstances and with other results, would not have been particularly significant, but in the era of Trump 2.0 polarization, they require analysis to understand the extent to which the current president can continue his national and international agenda without restriction and to begin to sketch out a scenario for the so-called “midterm elections” that will take place in November 2026.

Since early September, the United States has given every indication that it could be preparing for a military assault on Venezuela.
