Donald Trump says that Harris will apply “Venezuela or the USSR” policies if he wins the US elections

The former president and Republican candidate for the United States presidential elections, Donald Trump (2017-2021), assured on Thursday that if Democratic candidate Kamala Harris wins those elections, she will apply “Venezuela or the Soviet Union (USSR)” policies in the United States.

Harris “presents himself with the plan of (Nicolás) Maduro. We call it the Maduro plan, it is something that came directly from Venezuela or the Soviet Union,” Trump said at a press conference of his private golf club in Bedminster (New Jersey), alluding to the “proposal for communist price controls” of his rival.

The place is located just over 70 kilometers from New York City and is where the former president spent the night after suffering an assassination attempt last month in Pennsylvania.

Trump began his speech from the golf club with a speech focused on the economic situation of the country, and referred to Kamala Harris’ proposal, put forward by his campaign today, on a federal ban on the speculation of corporations on food prices in her first 100 days as president.

“This announcement is an admission that their economic policies have totally failed and have caused a catastrophe in our country and the world,” said the conservative politician about the Democratic Party and President Joe Biden’s administration, assuring that price controls “have the opposite impact.”

“It destroys everything it touches. If he takes office, his finances will suffer (…) Meanwhile, there are millions of immigrants entering through the border and we don’t even know who they are,” Trump added.

Days ago, during his interview in X with Elon Musk, Trump insinuated that he could flee to Venezuela if he loses the elections this November.

“If something happens with these elections, something that would be a horror show, we will see each other next time in Venezuela,” Trump said about the Latin American country, opining that he would be much safer than in a US governed by Harris.

After the Venezuelan presidential elections, Trump already considered that “they were neither free nor fair,” and blamed his Democratic rival, Vice President Harris, for it.

In a message on the social network Truth, Trump insulted the vice president, whom he called “craadKamala Harris” and accused her of having concluded with Maduro “one of the worst agreements of all time.”

“The crazy Kamala helped lead the release of Maduro’s main money launderer, and his two convicted drug-trafficking nephews, in exchange for an obviously false promise of free and fair elections for the people of Venezuela,” she said at the time.

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”

Guatemalan court decides Wednesday whether to convict journalist José Rubén Zamora

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.
