The Government of Venezuela rejected this Sunday through a statement the disregard by the Cooperative Republic of Guyana of the Geneva Agreement of 1966 and the sovereignty of the Venezuelan people over the territory of Guyana Esequiba.

“Venezuela rejects Guyana’s communiqué with which they intend to disregard the Geneva Agreement of 1966 and demands that they desist from the servile conduct to the interests of Exxon Mobil, stop the militarization of the area, adhere to international legality and sit at the negotiating table as the only mechanism for the resolution of the territorial dispute”, pointed out the Venezuelan Foreign Minister, Yván Gil.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yván Gil underlined that the Guyanese Government “ignores the fundamental premise of said agreement, which was agreed between Venezuela and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, before the Cooperative Republic of Guyana existed”.

Likewise, the Venezuelan communiqué reiterates that it does not recognize the judicial mechanism as a means to solve the controversy, since it affirms that this excludes the nature and object of the Geneva Agreement.

Regarding this agreement, the Government reaffirms that it must reach a practical and satisfactory solution for both parties through political negotiations.

In view of the position of the Ambassador of Guyana to the United Nations, Carolyn Rodrigues-Bricket who, although she recently expressed the relevance of the Geneva Agreement, later contradicted it, the Government of Venezuela stated that this position “ignores the fundamental premise of said agreement, which was agreed between Venezuela and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, before the Cooperative Republic of Guyana existed”.

Bolsonaro diagnosed with skin cancer amid coup conviction

Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has been diagnosed with skin cancer while serving a historic sentence for attempting a coup d’état. His medical team confirmed that the lesions have been removed and that, for now, he does not require further procedures, though he will need regular monitoring.

On Wednesday, September 17, Bolsonaro’s doctors confirmed the diagnosis. The announcement comes shortly after the former leader was convicted of orchestrating an attempted coup.

According to his physician, Claudio Birolini, Bolsonaro has “squamous cell carcinoma, which is neither the most benign nor the most aggressive form — it is intermediate.” Birolini warned, however, that this type of skin cancer “can carry more serious consequences.”

Milei praises Paraguay’s growth, calls Argentina’s last 20 years a ‘decline’

Argentine President Javier Milei praised Paraguay’s economic growth over the past two decades during a speech before the Paraguayan Congress on Wednesday (Sept. 17, 2025), crediting it to incentives that favored capitalism. At the same time, he contrasted that progress with what he described as Argentina’s deepening “decline” during the same period.

“If we compare the last 20 years of Paraguay with those of the Argentine Republic, we will find almost diametrically opposite results,” Milei told lawmakers during a special session of Parliament on the second and final day of his official visit to Asunción.

“While you have not stopped growing, we have deepened our decline. If we understand incentives as the engine of capitalism, Paraguay focused on preserving and strengthening them, while Argentina dedicated itself to chaining, directing, and suffocating them,” the right-wing leader stated.

Trump administration launches large-scale immigration operation in Chicago

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump intensified a large-scale immigration operation in the Chicago area with the arrival of additional Border Patrol agents on Tuesday and the presence of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem during a raid.

Noem posted a video on her X account showing the immigration operation, in which DHS reportedly removed “violent criminals” from the streets. The footage shows Noem observing the arrest of a man taken into custody at his home early Tuesday morning at an undisclosed location.

“I was in Chicago today to make it clear that we will not back down,” the secretary wrote. “Our work is just beginning,” she added.

The warning from Noem was echoed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Chief Gregory Bovino, who posted a video on X Tuesday showing multiple Border Patrol vehicles arriving in the city with the caption: “Chicago, we are here!”

Bovino, who led the immigration crackdown in Los Angeles implemented since last June, said the team will remain in Chicago to continue the mission they started in California.
