🇺🇸 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.”

"We as Ukrainians believe that the truth is on our side, whether it's truth that you're proclaiming about the war and everything else, why would you want to hide it?," he said. On Telegram’s website, it says that Pavel Durov “supports Telegram financially and ideologically while Nikolai (Duvov)’s input is technological.” Currently, the Telegram team is based in Dubai, having moved around from Berlin, London and Singapore after departing Russia. Meanwhile, the company which owns Telegram is registered in the British Virgin Islands. Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. Sebi said data, emails and other documents are being retrieved from the seized devices and detailed investigation is in progress.
