EL PAÍS News
The Mexican town where migrants disappearDear readers,
This week we travel to Chiapas, in southern Mexico, where EL PAÍS has identified three mass disappearances of migrants between September and December 2024 with the same pattern. In a territory marked by battles between organized crime groups, all signs point to human trafficking.
In another blow for migrants, Florida is launching an operation to arrest and deport parents and guardians of unaccompanied migrant children, under the guise of checking on the safety of their family situation.
As the Russia-Ukraine war grinds on without any major progress on a peace deal, Kaja Kallas, former PM of Estonia and now the EU’s foreign policy chief, explains why the Kremlin is merely pretending to negotiate.
In lighter news, we take a look back at 50 years of the all-girl rock band The Runaways, and examine why anonymous philanthropy is a thing of the past.
We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from El PAÍS USA Edition.

What Maduro can offer Trump
Dear readers,
One question is currently hanging over Washington — on pause for the Thanksgiving holiday — and Caracas, tense with the prospect of the United States carrying out its threat of military intervention in Venezuela: will Presidents Donald Trump and Nicolás Maduro talk, as the former hinted at in statements to the press on Tuesday? And what could Maduro offer the Republican leader in order to appease him?
At a key moment in peace negotiations for Ukraine, we interviewed NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who warns that even if an agreement is reached to end the war launched by Vladimir Putin nearly four years ago, “Russia will remain a long-term threat.”
This week we also look at the story behind a famous David Hockney painting that sold at auction for $44 million, and why the rich almost always marry the rich.
