GOLFE DU MEXIQUE: Un espace géopolitique convoité

GOLFE DU MEXIQUE: Un espace géopolitique convoité | AMÉRIQUES | Scoop.it

Selon le président des États-Unis, Donald Trump (depuis janvier 2025), le golfe du Mexique doit s’appeler « d’Amérique », une dénomination que les administrations américaines et des compagnies comme Google ont adoptée, mais qui a été rejetée par l’ONU et les autres riverains de cet espace maritime. Cette décision met en lumière la géopolitique d’une mer semi-fermée, traversée par des enjeux stratégiques et environnementaux.

CANADA : Vers un rapprochement avec l’Europe ? 

CANADA : Vers un rapprochement avec l’Europe ?  | AMÉRIQUES | Scoop.it

Quand Ursula von der Leyen prendra la parole le 16 septembre pour le traditionnel discours sur l’état de l’Union européenne (UE), de nombreux regards risquent de se tourner vers la tribune d’honneur, où aura pris place le Premier ministre canadien Mark Carney. Celui qui avait su, en début d’année, si justement saisir l’air du temps avec son désormais célèbre discours de Davos s’est en effet imposé depuis lors comme une source d’inspiration internationale, érigée par certains au rang de héraut anti-Trump. Sa récente décision de quitter la table des négociations commerciales avec les États-Unis, après avoir un temps donné le sentiment d’être prêt à céder, n’a fait que renforcer cette aura en Europe, notamment auprès de ceux, nombreux, qui avaient regretté l’approche trop conciliante de l’Union lors des négociations de Turnberry.
