Dear readers,
This week we published an exclusive, wide-ranging interview with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who despite leading a progressive wave in the Democratic Party in the U.S. prefers to downplay his anti-Trump reputation: "I’ve been very clear that I have a wide range of disagreements with the president. On immigration, for example. I’ve told him directly that ICE is an agency that operates with cruelty and inhumanity. It should be abolished," he told EL PÁIS.
September 11 marked the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York, a city famous for its constant reinvention. Photographer David Monderer was in a chance position on that fateful morning to capture what turned out to be one of the final shots of the Twin Towers, and the aftermath of the airplane impacts on the World Trade Center.
We also traveled to the pro-Russian region of Transnistria in Moldova, a country on the path to EU membership, looked at the widening inequality gap in Cuba and pondered the question on everybody's minds in the age of AI: should we genuinely fear the technology rising up?
We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS US Edition.

The island’s economic and energy crisis, worsened by the U.S. embargo, is widening the gap between those who can afford to import luxury cars and buy solar panels, and an impoverished majority that faces blackouts, food shortages, deteriorating housing and growing difficulty meeting their basic needs
