    U.S. Deports Haitians Amidst TPS End

    The U.S. has sent a second deportation flight to Haiti in a week, carrying around 50 people, including families and minors. This follows the end of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 300,000 Haitians living in the U.S., leaving them vulnerable to deportation. The flight landed in Cap-Haitien, with reports citing a one-year-old U.S.-born child among the deportees. This marks a significant change from the previous monthly deportation rhythm to Haiti. The move comes as the U.S. government records a strong increase in migrant detentions and amidst concerns over Haiti's security crisis.

    U.S. Overtakes Russia as Top Crude Oil Supplier to Turkey

    Turkey's energy imports have witnessed a significant shift, with the U.S. replacing Russia as the leading supplier of crude oil. In June, U.S. crude oil imports surged to record highs, accounting for 21% of Turkey's total imports, according to data from the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK). This shift comes as Turkey's overall crude oil imports fell by 9.1% year-on-year to 2.66 million tons. Turkey has been diversifying its energy supplies, turning to countries like the U.S., Kazakhstan, Iraq, Brazil, and Guyana amid sanctions on Russian energy companies and disruptions to Black Sea shipments.

    U.S. Secures Massive Stake in Venezuela's Oil Fields

    The Trump administration has reached an agreement with Venezuela's interim government to secure a significant ownership stake in more than a dozen productive oil fields. This deal, which involves fields with proven reserves of around 90 billion barrels, could more than double U.S. oil reserves. In exchange, private companies, including American firms, will develop the fields, returning more oil revenue to Venezuela. The deal is seen as a legacy-defining moment for President Trump, who has made U.S. energy security a priority.
