Marco Rubio's Panama Visit: Will Trump's Aggressive Rhetoric Lead to War or Diplomacy?Secretary of State Marco Rubio‘s upcoming visit to Panama is expected to offer crucial insight into the direction of U.S. foreign policy, particularly in Latin America, under the Trump administration.Amid rising tensions over the Panama Canal, the visit could signal whether U.S. policy will take a more aggressive, imperial approach or a pragmatic, negotiation-focused stance, Reuters reports.The controversy began when President Trump made threatening remarks regarding Panama’s control over the canal, raising fears of a potential American invasion. Former Panama President Ernesto Pérez Balladares voiced concerns about the potential for significant casualties and international condemnation if U.S. aggression escalates.Despite the heightened rhetoric, Trump’s envoy to Latin America, Mauricio Claver-Carone, appeared to offer a more practical solution by suggesting that Panama might preemptively offer the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard free transit through the canal as a means to avoid further tension, Reuters adds.(...)
Amid Trump’s calls to “drill, baby, drill,” OPEC+ meets Monday to decide how it will respondPresident Trump says he wants domestic oil producers to drill more wells and pump more oil. The idea is, more domestic oil supply would mean lower oil prices. But prices are already pretty low right now by recent standards.On Monday, members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, OPEC+, will meet to decide how to respond to the president.The message from Trump might be to “drill, baby, drill,” but the message the market is sending to domestic producers is entirely different.“American presidents can state what they want, but that doesn’t necessarily make it happen,” said Greg Priddy, an expert in global energy markets at The Center for the National Interest.Priddy said the same rules of supply and demand apply to U.S. producers and to OPEC+.“American oil companies act on price signals from the market. They don’t pump more because the government tells them to drill more,” he said.Right now, prices are low because the market has plenty of oil supply, and demand isn’t growing much.So Richard Schultz expects OPEC+ to hold its production steady. He chairs the energy and petroleum engineering department at the University of North Dakota. “I’ll be surprised if next Monday, OPEC does anything more than just tweaks and noise,” he said.Schultz said OPEC+ leaders know that there’s only so much Trump can do to influence the U.S. market. And time is on their side.“In my opinion, they’ll do a wait-and-see attitude, doing whatever they need to for stability while the situation in the U.S. plays out,” he said.Schultz said the question then becomes how Trump will react if domestic producers don’t heed his call to drill, baby, drill. He said the president has already taken aggressive actions and made economic threats during his first week or so in office, so it’s possible he could do the same with the oil industry.Karl Pettersen said Trump isn’t likely to take any big swings for now. He leads the financial and sustainability advisory firm Pettersen Analytics.“‘Drill, baby, drill’ is more a gesture to show that we’re not going to vilify oil and gas anymore as opposed to really encouraging production. So it’s not really about finding a new market equilibrium. It’s more about the politics, and that becomes about asserting influence,” said Pettersen.In other words, Pettersen said, Trump’s message is mostly just that: messaging.OPEC+ has already indicated the market will support increased production again by April, right as we head into the season of more expensive summer fuel blends and higher demand due to gasoline-intensive road trips.
El par de post en X de Trump sobre los aranceles son tremendos.Decíamos ayer que su "relato" es -Vamos a dejar de ser los líderes del mundo pero no porque no podamos sino porque no queremos-Con esto de los aranceles pasa algo parecido. Trump viene a decir que pone los aranceles porque no puede ser que el dinero americano esté yendo a pagar a Canadienses y Mexicanos. Los últimos datos que he encontrado son de 2022 y Canadá le entrega bienes y servicios a USA por un valor neto de 130 mil millones anuales, con Mexico son unos 120 mil millones.Según Trump esto significa que USA le está haciendo el favor a Canadá y Mexico de comprarles o que por el hecho de venderles están cometiendo alguna clase de agresión. Me parece un poco tremendo que esto lo digan teóricos anarcoliberales.La idea es -Vamos a dejar de compraros pero no porque no podamos (se nos está acabando el crédito) sino porque no queremos.Visto así no es una mala forma de gestionar la debacle (si el público americano se lo traga, claro).No creo que mañana sea un buen día en la bolsa americana.
