Trump responds to López Obrador that he “won’t give him even 10 cents” for migration

Former US President Donald Trump (2017-2021), future candidate of the Republican Party for the November elections, assured that he would not give even 10 cents for migration to the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Trump made these statements during an interview with Fox News, in which he reacted to the comments made by López Obrador a week ago in an interview with CBS, where he asked the United States to invest $20 billion annually for the development of Latin America and thus reduce migration.
The tycoon rejected López Obrador’s requests and suggested that, if he were in the White House, the Mexican would not even have dared to make that request.
“They would never tell me that with me,” Trump said, adding: “I wouldn’t give him 10 cents.”
López Obrador has been asking the United States for years to invest billions of dollars in the development of impoverished countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, as a strategy to prevent their nationals from being forced to migrate to the north.
Meanwhile, Trump, who arrived at the White House in 2017 with the promise of building a wall on the border with Mexico, has adopted strong anti-immigration rhetoric at his campaign rallies.
He has gone so far as to affirm that foreigners “poison” U.S. blood and has proposed plans ranging from massive deportations to the construction of giant centers to detain undocumented migrants.
The president of Mexico was convinced in an interview with the American program ’60 Minutes’, broadcast on March 24, that Trump will not follow the construction of a wall on the southern border, to return to the White House, and that the wall also “does not work” to solve the current migratory chaos.
“The wall doesn’t work!” exclaimed the Mexican ruler, who believes that Trump would not raise it “because he needs Mexico.” “We understood each other very well. We signed a trade agreement that has been favorable for both peoples. He knows it. And President Biden too,” he said in the interview with ’60 Minutes’ correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi.
For López Obrador, the solution to the migration crisis on the southern border is because Washington commits to sending 20 billion dollars a year to the poorest countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and legalizes millions of law-abiding irregular Mexican immigrants based in the United States, among other conditions.

Deportation flight lands in Venezuela; government denies criminal gang links

A flight carrying 175 Venezuelan migrants deported from the United States arrived in Caracas on Sunday. This marks the third group to return since repatriation flights resumed a week ago, and among them is an alleged member of a criminal organization, according to Venezuelan authorities.
Unlike previous flights operated by the Venezuelan state airline Conviasa, this time, an aircraft from the U.S. airline Eastern landed at Maiquetía Airport, on the outskirts of Caracas, shortly after 2:00 p.m. with the deportees.
Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, who welcomed the returnees at the airport, stated that the 175 repatriated individuals were coming back “after being subjected, like all Venezuelans, to persecution” and dismissed claims that they belonged to the criminal organization El Tren de Aragua.
However, Cabello confirmed that “for the first time in these flights we have been carrying out, someone of significance wanted by Venezuelan justice has arrived, and he is not from El Tren de Aragua.” Instead, he belongs to a gang operating in the state of Trujillo. The minister did not disclose the individual’s identity or provide details on where he would be taken.

Son of journalist José Rubén Zamora condemns father’s return to prison as “illegal”

The son of renowned journalist José Rubén Zamora Marroquín, José Carlos Zamora, has denounced as “illegal” the court order that sent his father back to a Guatemalan prison on March 3, after already spending 819 days behind barsover a highly irregular money laundering case.
“My father’s return to prison was based on an arbitrary and illegal ruling. It is also alarming that the judge who had granted him house arrest received threats,” José Carlos Zamora told EFE in an interview on Saturday.
The 67-year-old journalist was sent back to prison inside the Mariscal Zavala military barracks on March 3, when Judge Erick García upheld a Court of Appeals ruling that overturned the house arrest granted to him in October. Zamora had already spent 819 days in prison over an alleged money laundering case.
His son condemned the situation as “unacceptable”, stating that the judge handling the case “cannot do his job in accordance with the law due to threats against his life.”

Miyazaki’s style goes viral with AI but at what cost?

This week, you may have noticed that everything—from historical photos and classic movie scenes to internet memes and recent political moments—has been reimagined on social media as Studio Ghibli-style portraits. The trend quickly went viral thanks to ChatGPT and the latest update of OpenAI’s chatbot, released on Tuesday, March 25.
The newest addition to GPT-4o has allowed users to replicate the distinctive artistic style of the legendary Japanese filmmaker and Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki (My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away). “Today is a great day on the internet,” one user declared while sharing popular memes in Ghibli format.
While the trend has captivated users worldwide, it has also highlighted ethical concerns about AI tools trained on copyrighted creative works—and what this means for the livelihoods of human artists.
Not that this concerns OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, which has actively encouraged the “Ghiblification”experiments. Its CEO, Sam Altman, even changed his profile picture on the social media platform X to a Ghibli-style portrait.
Miyazaki, now 84 years old, is known for his hand-drawn animation approach and whimsical storytelling. He has long expressed skepticism about AI’s role in animation. His past remarks on AI-generated animation have resurfaced and gone viral again, particularly when he once said he was “utterly disgusted” by an AI demonstration.
