Inflation figures released on Feb. 12, 2025, will come as a disappointment to Americans who hoped President Donald Trump would be true to his word on bringing down prices “on Day One.” It will also put pressure on the new administration to be wary of policies that may heat up inflation – and that includes tariffs.
Les projets du président des États-Unis et du premier ministre d’Israël ne peuvent que fragiliser les derniers alliés régionaux de l’État hébreu. L’expulsion des Palestiniens de Gaza, ce que la rupture de la trêve par les forces israéliennes, ce 17 mars, vise à provoquer, pourrait aboutir, par un effet domino, à l’arrivée au pouvoir des Frères musulmans en Égypte, tandis que l’annexion de la Cisjordanie pourrait avoir les mêmes conséquences en Jordanie.
As the 19th-century French political philosopher, Alexis de Tocqueville, memorably observed, Americans have a tendency to fight their political battles in court. Barely two months into his presidency, Donald Trump is demonstrating increasing frustration as trade unions, civil rights organisations and states attorneys general challenge the implementation of his policies with lawsuits alleging presidential overreach that undermines the constitutional separation of powers.
Une chercheuse propose, dans la revue Nature, de créer une base de données génétiques pour permettre, un jour, de réunir les enfants ukrainiens emmenés en territoire russe et leurs familles. Si la démarche est louable, de nombreux risques peuvent émerger.
President Donald Trump issued an executive order on March 20, 2025, that calls for closing the U.S. Department of Education.
The president needs congressional approval to shutter the department. The order, however, directs Education Secretary Linda McMahon to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return authority over education to the States and local communities while ensuring the effective and uninterrupted delivery of services, programs, and benefits on which Americans rely.”

La dénonciation des violences systémiques de la police peut affecter certains policiers pétris de convictions républicaines. Des solutions existent pour les aider dans ce moment de crise intime, voire professionnelle.
Selon un certain nombre d’enquêtes, l’épidémie mondiale de Covid-19, associée à l’usage des réseaux sociaux, aurait joué un rôle clé dans la diffusion de la culture complotiste. Désormais, cette dernière n’est plus strictement minoritaire. En 2023, 51 % des électeurs de Marine Le Pen et 50 % de ceux de Jean-Luc Mélenchon déclaraient croire aux théories du complot. Aux États-Unis, 55 % des citoyens adhèrent à ces théories.
The spat between Nigel Farage, the leader of the Reform party, and Rupert Lowe, the MP for Great Yarmouth, burst into the open when Lowe was suspended from the party. The allegation was that he had threatened violence to the party leadership, which he denies. The matter is currently being investigated by the police.
The ex-president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, could soon become the first Asian former head of state to be tried at The Hague.
The populist politician was arrested on Mar. 11, 2025, after the International Criminal Court issued a warrant relating to his “war on drugs.”
Some 6,000-plus people were killed during the crackdown. But despite the controversy surrounding his policies and the end of his presidency in 2022, Duterte remains an influential figure.
The Conversation U.S. turned to Lisandro Claudio, an expert on Philippine politics and history at the University of California, Berkeley, to explain how the arrest could impact domestic politics and whether this could mean the end of Duterte’s sway.
In February 2020, French President Emmanuel Macron said it was time to reflect on the European dimension of French nuclear deterrence. He proposed a strategic dialogue as well as joint nuclear exercises between European partners. Five years later, Germany’s likely next chancellor, Friedrich Merz, responded to this call, advocating an extension of the French nuclear umbrella to Germany – while a US led by President Donald Trump no longer appears to be a reliable partner for protecting Europe.

As Muslims fast from dawn to dusk during Ramadan, an important aspect of their faith is their role as stewards of God on Earth. One way Muslims do this is through the practice of Zakat, an obligatory kind of charity that’s one of the five pillars of Islam.
