In a footnote to the geopolitical drama, Trump made headlines of a different kind over the weekend by installing a replica of a Christopher Columbus statue on the White House grounds. The statue — a copy of one torn down by protesters in Baltimore in 2020 — was placed in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building’s park. Both El País and L’Espresso noted the symbolic weight of the move, given that Columbus monuments have been removed across the U.S. in recent years over their association with colonialism and white supremacy.
