Dear readers,
The NATO summit this week further underscored the rift btween the United States and its European partners. As a result, European allies and Canada are moving to fill the gaps in Europe’s security umbrella as the US scales back its commitment. A group of 12 countries is preparing a new mission to strengthen maritime security in the North Atlantic and the Arctic, according to alliance sources.
Back in the Americas, tension is growing over the US role in the Ismael El Mayo Zambada case. Mexico is demanding further explanations about the role US agencies may have had in the transfer by plane of the drug leader from Mexico to US territory, and accusing the former ambassador of lying about it.
Our interviewees this week include Danny Elfman, the composer behind most of Tim Burton's best-known movies (as well as the theme for The Simpsons), and British pop superstar Robbie Williams, who is releasing a new album with a title meant "to wind up the right people."
We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS USA Edition.
