Trump’s Green Beret/CIA ambassador has arrived to take up his post as US ambassador to Mexico. And his first day in the country was… interesting.
An interview with José Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth, the duo from Mexico that host the Mexican Politics podcast that rebuts US media trash.
The recent summit between China and CELAC, attended by President Xi Jinping and several Latin American heads of state of varying degrees of progressivism. With the threat of Trumpism and tariffs hanging in the air, the summit acquired both greater impetus and urgency.
The 40-hour workweek will be a reality in Mexico…eventually. Plus tarrifs, troops, Sheinbaum’s letter and a New Yorker smearjob.
President Sheinbaum wants to stop foreign governments from being able to run offensive ads and seeks to revamp Mexico’s outdated telecom laws, including making internet more accessible and increasing community access, but corporate media and some critics are accusing her government of censorship.
Donald Trump has militarized the border, to get US troops to take part in the deportation of migrants, the questionable Ecuadorean election and Mexican President Sheinbaum’s pledge to not restore relations; also, why is Mexican private media running Trump’s anti-migrant ads in primetime?
These dangerous times call for regional unity, but can Latin America unite against Trump threats?
Trump’s tariff plan turned out worse than everyone expected but somehow Mexico has come out unscathed. While close friends and allies of Trump were hit with devastating tariffs, Mexico was spared thanks to President Claudia Sheinbaum’s negotiating and now the country is poised to take advantage of its comparative advantage in the refashioned world of global commerce.
Mexico reckons with Trump admin officials, Sheinbaum takes one for the team by meeting with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in the final stop of her cringe tour” through Latin America, the media attempt to play up China’s supposed pivot away from Mexico, and Mexico’s new Interoceanic Corridor linking the Atlantic and Pacific is now open.
