EL PAÍS News in English

Could NATO survive another Trump term?

Dear readers,

With world leaders gathered in Washington for the NATO summit, many observers are wondering what will happen to the Alliance if Donald Trump wins the presidential election in November, as growing numbers of Democrats fear may happen if Joe Biden refuses to step aside. 

Meanwhile, the presumptive Republican nominee is getting additional support from unexpected places.  We analyzed the extreme views of Juan Ciscomani, an outspoken congressman from Arizona who is giving visibility to ultra-conservative Latinos who are planning to vote for Trump. 

In global news, we interviewed an Israeli doctor who worked at the Sde Teiman detention, interrogation and torture center and says he feels “complicit” and “guilty” about the violations being committed there. We also revealed how a tiny, deserted islet in the Mediterranean has become a new immigration route from Africa into Europe, and explored how robots are helping an aging population cope with loneliness in Japan.

This week we also took a look at how microplastics are creeping into every part of our lives (and bodies), interviewed David Remnick, the longtime editor of The New Yorker, and asked ourselves why nobody seems to like Katy Perry anymore.

We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS English Edition.
