Kazakhstan will host the Regional Ecological Summit this April.

This is a great opportunity for Kazakhstan to consolidate its regional leadership by addressing Central Asian and Eurasian environmental challenges.
Is the annexation of French Guiana by the United States really possible? To answer this question, it is necessary to analyse Donald Trump’s personal psychology, political behaviour, strategic motivations, potential gains for the United States, and the current posture of European leadership. Donald Trump displays traits consistent with narcissism.

The Trump administration’s recent release of “365 Wins in 365 Days” offers an intriguing empirical ledger of its first year back in power, cataloguing a “New Era of Success, Prosperity” (The White House 2026).
