🇺🇸🇻🇪 Maduro offered the U.S. oil and mining projects and to cut ties with China and Russia to avoid a conflict, but Trump rejected it

Hoping to end the conflict between his country and the United States, Venezuelan officials offered the Trump administration a dominant stake in Venezuela's oil and other mineral resources in talks that lasted for months, according to several people close to the discussions.

Maduro offered to open all current and future oil and gold projects to U.S. companies, grant preferential contracts to U.S. firms, reverse the flow of Venezuelan oil exports from China to the United States, and drastically cut his country's energy and mining contracts with Chinese, Iranian, and Russian companies.

The Trump administration ultimately rejected Maduro's economic concessions and halted diplomacy with Venezuela last week. This move effectively nullified the agreement, at least for now, according to sources close to the discussion.

🇪🇺 Von der Leyen survives dual no-confidence votes with strong majority

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has decisively withstood two fresh no-confidence motions in the European Parliament, as lawmakers overwhelmingly rejected challenges from both the far right and far left. The motions were defeated by wide margins, with 378 votes against the right-wing proposal and 383 against the left-wing effort.

This marks the third failed attempt to oust von der Leyen within a year, underscoring the political friction surrounding her second term. Despite vocal criticism over her handling of EU-Russia policy, digital regulation, and institutional centralization, the Commission chief maintains solid backing from the Parliament's centrist majority.

Von der Leyen’s survival reinforces Brussels' executive stability in a period of mounting geopolitical threats and internal fragmentation. However, the recurring challenges point to persistent resistance from ideological extremes across the bloc.
