EL PAÍS (News in English)

Faltering trust in the US


Dear readers,

In an interview at the Élysée Palace, French President Emmanuel Macron said that “it is time for Europe to wake up, to emerge from its status as a geopolitical minority. If we do not decide for ourselves, we will be swept away.” As part of that wake-up call, there is some renewed support for the idea of a European army to reduce dependence on an increasingly unreliable United States.

In the Western Hemisphere, Trump's impact on regional politics is being acutely felt in Cuba, where leaders appear increasingly open to talks as the island's economy nears the breaking point. And Mexico wants answers following new evidence that a large amount of military-grade weapons are being trafficked into the country from Arizona.

This week we also analyzed media-grabbing claims about a cure for pancreatic cancer, and revisited the mystery of the famous Gelman art collection.

We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from EL PAÍS USA Edition.
