Clinton says Trump told him of 'some great times' with Jeffrey Epstein Clinton told a congressional committee that Trump once described their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein as having "some great times" but deteriorating over a real estate dispute. During testimony, Clinton recounted how Trump mentioned knowing he had traveled on Epstein's private aircraft, claiming they fell out of contact due to a business disagreement. Clinton emphasized that the conversation did not suggest any involvement in improper activities related to Epstein. The White House declined to comment on the matter. Both Clinton and Trump have previously stated they did not witness any evidence of sex trafficking linked to Epstein, who was convicted in 2008 of soliciting prostitution from a minor. Neither has faced criminal charges tied to their association with Epstein, who maintained connections with numerous business and political figures. Epstein was arrested again in 2019 and died in prison while awaiting federal sex-trafficking charges, with his death ruled a suicide. Clinton described his introduction to Epstein through former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who framed Epstein as a donor willing to fund global travel for Clinton's AIDS foundation. Clinton stated he flew on Epstein's jet for trips to Asia, Africa, and Europe, but stopped using him as a donor after 2003. He admitted to receiving a neck massage from a flight attendant later identified as an Epstein abuse survivor but claimed he was unaware of Epstein's alleged misconduct at the time. Clinton said he never visited Epstein's Caribbean island and was unaware of Epstein's 17 visits to the White House during his presidency. The Republican-led committee also subpoenaed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who testified she did not recall meeting Epstein.#donald_trump #jeffrey_epstein #hillary_clinton #larry_summers #white_house
Venezuela espera que el Clásico Mundial sea una celebración, incluso en suelo estadounidense El torneo del Clásico Mundial, que ya se está desarrollando en Tokio, continuará el viernes en tres sedes, incluida Miami, donde el equipo venezolano se convierte en una de las principales atracciones. La presencia del país en el sur de Florida, una zona con fuerte influencia latina, ha generado expectativa entre los seguidores. La situación política del país, marcada por la operación militar estadounidense que capturó al exlíder Nicolás Maduro en enero, ha añadido un contexto geopolítico a los partidos. Omar López, director del equipo venezolano, destacó que su enfoque es el deporte, aunque reconoció la importancia del contexto. "He trabajado en el béisbol durante 28 años y no hablo de cosas políticas. Estoy aquí para hablar de nuestro equipo venezolano", afirmó. La captura de Maduro fue celebrada por muchos venezolanos, especialmente en Miami, donde viven aproximadamente 200.000 personas de ese país. El suburbio de Doral, en Miami, se ha convertido en un punto central de los festejos, debido a su gran población venezolana y a la presencia del resort de golf de Donald Trump, que albergará la cumbre del G20 este año. Los partidos del equipo en el loanDepot Park, entre el viernes y el miércoles, atraerán a grandes multitudes, según los precios de reventa de boletos. Javier Sanoja, jugador de los Marlins, expresó su alegría por estar en su ciudad: "Me encanta Miami porque es lo más cerca que tenemos de nuestro país, y verla llena de venezolanos me llena de orgullo". El evento también refleja el orgullo nacional, incluso en tiempos de tensiones internacionales. El torneo comienza en un contexto de conflictos geopolíticos, como los ataques conjuntos entre Estados Unidos e Israel contra Irán en Oriente Medio.#venezuela #donald_trump #clsico_mundial #nicolas_maduro #miami
Trump woos Venezuela with potential deals as relations reset The United States announced on March 6, 2026, that it would re-establish diplomatic ties with Venezuela, seven years after halting operations at its embassy in Caracas. This decision followed a two-day visit by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, who aimed to push for policy reforms and investments to unlock the country’s oil and mining resources. The move is framed as a form of dollar diplomacy, with President Donald Trump leveraging foreign investments to encourage democratic reforms, just two months after the U.S. captured former President Nicolas Maduro. Critics argue that Washington is seeking to dominate Venezuela’s natural resources, including crude oil, coal, and critical minerals, for its own benefit. However, Burgum and other Trump administration officials emphasize the potential for fostering stable supply chains for oil and minerals that are vital to global markets. They claim the initiative could bring greater political stability and improved living conditions for Venezuelans, as well as benefits for neighboring nations. Burgum stated that Venezuela’s leadership is “leaning in hard” to build a “positive, strong, enduring relationship” with the U.S. The country has pledged to advance mining law reforms seen as essential for attracting foreign investment. These reforms, along with agreements to restart oil and gas development with Shell Plc and American contractors, were signed during Burgum’s visit. Other deals are also in the works, including a plan for Venezuela’s state mining company to sell up to 1,000 kilograms of gold to Trafigura Group, a commodities trader, with the gold destined for U.S. refineries.#venezuela #doug_burgum #donald_trump #trafigura_group #shell_plc
