U.S. President Donald Trump has appointed his former lawyer Todd Blanche as Attorney General. This appointment comes as Trump seeks to solidify his influence over the country's judicial system.

According to reports, the aim of this appointment is for Blanche to advance legal actions against Trump's political adversaries while defending the president against potential investigations.

Additionally, in a different context, negotiations have begun between Chavismo and the opposition in Venezuela, aimed at conducting new elections, although this event has not been directly linked to Trump’s recent action.
