Venezuela's interim president Rodriguez said Venezuela and the UK are opening a new chapter in bilateral relations.

President Rodrigo Paz announced Bolivia will end its national diesel subsidy and move to a unified price equal to the foreign acquisition cost to address chronic fuel shortages. Bolivia imports about 90% of its diesel; the government has been spending roughly $55m a week on subsidies. The change takes effect today and replaces August’s dual-track pricing (18 bolivianos/liter for high-consumption users — about $2.60 — and a subsidized 9.80 bolivianos/liter for others). Officials cited rampant fuel smuggling and black‑market resale as primary drivers of the weekly losses. The government said domestic prices will follow global benchmarks and fall if international costs decline, and announced targeted relief measures, including direct cash transfers and concessional credit lines for households and key economic sectors.

U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States is "easily winning" the war with Iran and asserted Iran will not obtain a nuclear weapon. He said Americans may need to tolerate higher gasoline prices to prevent Iranian nuclearisation and suggested public opinion would favour stopping Iran over preventing fuel-price rises. Trump predicted the conflict will end soon and gasoline prices will fall thereafter, possibly below pre-conflict levels. He added that without U.S. use of B-2 bombers against Iran, Iran "might already have" a nuclear weapon.
