🇺🇸 President Donald Trump opened his second term with sudden moves to shake up the Western hemisphere — vowing to take back the Panama Canal, threatening tariffs on American neighbors and demanding the repatriation of undocumented migrants.
It’s up to Mauricio Claver-Carone to work out the details.
The role of Trump’s regional enforcer is a natural one for the Miami native.
“This is a non-imperialistic expansionism,” he said, even as he went on to hint that the administration would get “very creative” in pushing change inside Cuba 🇨🇺.
As for Trump’s pledge to seize the Panama Canal 🇵🇦, Claver-Carone expressed little interest in sending in the Marines. Instead, he talked of sending in the Army Corps of Engineers to help its current owners “make the Panama Canal great again.”
Of course, his offer came with a catch: “We get a piece of it.”

"The inflation fire was already hot and now with war-driven inflation added to the mix, it will grow even hotter, setting off a scramble by the world’s central banks to pull back their stimulus earlier than expected," Chris Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS, wrote in an email. "A spike in inflation rates has preceded economic recessions historically and this time prices have soared to levels that once again pose a threat to growth." The gold standard of encryption, known as end-to-end encryption, where only the sender and person who receives the message are able to see it, is available on Telegram only when the Secret Chat function is enabled. Voice and video calls are also completely encrypted. Just days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Durov wrote that Telegram was "increasingly becoming a source of unverified information," and he worried about the app being used to "incite ethnic hatred." Emerson Brooking, a disinformation expert at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, said: "Back in the Wild West period of content moderation, like 2014 or 2015, maybe they could have gotten away with it, but it stands in marked contrast with how other companies run themselves today." This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children.
