Since his victory in the United States presidential election in November 2024, Donald Trump has multiplied provocative territorial claims, drawing international attention with annexationist proposals, including the integration of Canada into the United States, the acquisition of Greenland, and the reclaiming of control over the Panama Canal. These statements echo certain ambitions expressed during his first term from 2017 to 2021, when he frequently framed US geopolitical strategy in terms of economic dominance, military strength, and a revival of US expansionism. While such rhetoric may have been dismissed as political posturing, it raises fundamental questions about the resurgence of imperialist discourse in contemporary US foreign policy.

ACTU : Stop the boats v. stop the UK-Rwanda scheme? The UK Supreme Court rules that the government’s plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda is unlawful
Catherine MAIA, Shashaank BAHADUR NAGAR
On 15 November, in an eagerly awaited decision, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (UK) dismissed an appeal of the British Secretary of State in R (on the application of AAA (Syria) and others) v. Secretary of State for the Home Department and unanimously upheld the decision of the Court of Appeal that had correctly reversed the decision of the Divisional Court. The Supreme Court stated that there existed substantial grounds for believing that asylum seekers sent to Rwanda may be at risk of refoulement, being transferred to a country where they could be persecuted, mistreated, tortured or even killed. It thus confirmed the illegality of the controversial plan of Rishi Sunak's government to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda, irrespective of their origin, in case of illegal arrival on British soil, in line with its "Stop the boats" policy aimed at deterring people from undertaking dangerous journeys by sea and strengthenning border security measures.
