Also, Trump declares a national emergency over Cuba
| | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 1. 🇨🇺 Trump declares a national emergency over Cuba. President Trump signed an executive order declaring a national emergency over Cuba, citing the regime's alignment with Russia, China, Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah. The order creates a tariff mechanism to punish countries that supply oil to the communist government, seeking to cripple the Cuban government. | 2. 🇪🇸 Spain legalized half a million illegal migrants. Madrid officially began the process of granting legal status to 500,000 illegal migrants, framing the move as a way to "fight against the advance of the far-Right." The government said those living in Spain for at least five months by December 31, 2025, can apply for legal status and immediate work rights. | 3. 🇪🇺 EU to allow mass movement for Indians. India and the European Union finalized a comprehensive free trade agreement — dubbed by European leaders as the "mother of all deals" — alongside a mobility framework that commits to uncapped movement for Indian students, workers, and professionals across EU countries. | 4. 🇵🇸 Hamas seeks to keep police control in Gaza. The terror group is pushing to keep its internal police force intact in Gaza ahead of disarmament talks as an effort to preserve de facto authority even if weapons are surrendered. The move undercuts claims of a clean break from governance and complicates US and Israeli plans for a non-Hamas postwar administration. | | Between Spain's mass legalization and the EU's push to admit massive numbers of Indian workers, Europe appears intent on permanently reshaping its society and culture — offsetting shockingly low birth rates, supplying cheaper labor, and intentionally sticking it to the US and Trump's mass deportation agenda. — Brandon |
