Así se saluda.
Felicito al presidente @LulaOficial por su victoria. Bolivia y Brasil somos países vecinos y hermanos, unidos por una historia y desafíos comunes. Seguiremos trabajando juntos para fortalecer nuestra relación y generar más oportunidades para nuestras naciones. 🇧🇴🤝🇧🇷

Lula’s reelection is a significant blow to the “Donroe Doctrine” and Trump’s quest for regional “domination.” Undeniably, there is a sizable constellation of pro-MAGA leaders in Latin America. Undeniably, the leaders of the region’s two biggest countries are not among them.

It was the turnout, stupid.
3 million more people voted in 2nd round than 1st. Only 3.2% of all voters spoiled their ballots, lowest percentage in a 2nd round this century

China’s anti-corruption law is going global. What does it mean for overseas firms?

As the core hub for Peruvian fruit imports, Shanghai Port handles more than 70 percent of China's imports of Peruvian fruit, serving as a key gateway for bilateral agricultural trade.
The #Chancay-#Shanghai shipping route has seen increasingly frequent sailings and booming two-way trade since the beginning of this year, according to a Sunday report by China News Service citing Shanghai Customs statistics. In the first eight months, the route operated 170 voyages, carrying 141,000 tons of import and export cargo worth $599 million, up 13.7% and 33.3% year-on-year, respectively.

The concept of a digital native is a myth. The advent of iPhones and laptops did not undo eons of brain evolution in the space of a few years — even if excessive screen time is associated with the thinning of the cerebral cortex. (The damage appears to be reversible
The New York Times: No puedes “gamificar” una educación real.
La obsesión por hacer que aprender sea siempre “divertido” ha llevado a llenar las aulas de pantallas, juegos y estímulos rápidos. Pero educar no es entretener: es exigir atención, esfuerzo y pensamiento profundo.
La tecnología debe ser una herramienta complementaria, no el centro del aprendizaje. nytimes.com/2026/04/19/opini…

RADDATZ: You attacked the Maduro regime as a "socialist dictatorship." Delcy Rodriguez was the VP of that regime. Why do you trust her?
CHRIS WRIGHT: We have a lot of leverage over Venezuela. We control the sale of oil outside of their country. Right now they are forced to work in partnership with us.
Aja.
I just listened to the Chevron CEO Mike Wirth about the announcement on Venezuela and it illustrates the misinformation campaign that the Trump administration is deploying about Venezuela.
The announcement is for USD 7 billion over 5 years, not by Chevron but by the secret joint venture in which they are a partner, which includes PDVSA. Nothing will come out of the ground anytime soon, so no relief at the pump for US consumers by November 2026 or 2028. The company is not changing its guidance on free cashflow because the capital contribution was already in their investment budget. It also said that the terms of the agreement are secret, something that should delegitimize it in the eyes of any democracy. The secrecy is legal under the Venezuelan anti-sanctions exceptional law, to allow the country to circumvent US sanctions. The US is using that exception to push ahead with secret no-bid deals with US companies. Chevron’s comparative advantage? Coziness with the Venezuelan dictatorship and a track record of opposing a return to democracy.

Indeed.
Writing in today’s @nytimes, I argue that when governments transfer resources to politically connected elites, democracy suffers. Mr. Trump’s oil plan for Venezuela will not bring democratic change closer. It will push it further away.
