The CIA provided the intelligence for the strike inside Venezuela that killed a gang leader, a senior U.S. administration official told Vera Bergengruen of the @WSJ this morning.
And Delcy’s regime cooperated all the way. Los chavistas como tienen patria! wsj.com/world/americas/trump…

New York is not just a city but 150 countries that happen to share a subway.
And every country in the World Cup has its own New York bar. @WSJ tells you all about them.

Colombia’s minister of defense confirms what so many told Petro would be the result of “peace negotiations” with narco groups.
They would fail. Four years later these groups are stronger than ever, feeding off the exploding cocaine trade and taking advantage of gov largesse.

SpaceX's shares rose 25% over their opening price as the largest-ever IPO had investors worldwide glued to their screens.
SpaceX's market cap topped $2.2 trillion, making it the 6th most valuable U.S.-listed company. And Elon Musk became a trillionaire.

“She will lead one of Latin America’s most dysfunctional political systems, becoming its 10th president in a decade—an era of turmoil that analysts blame in part on Fujimori’s ruthless tactics as opposition leader. She is also far less popular than her father ever was, losing three past elections and barely capturing this one.”

Keiko joins a growing list of right-wing leaders elected across South America. Only Uruguay, Colombia, and Brazil have leftist leaders. But Colombia may elect a far-right one in a week, and Brazil could elect Bolsonaro's son in an October election. wsj.com/world/americas/the-d… @WSJ

As a teen, Keiko Fujimori was first lady to her father, Alberto, an iron-fisted ruler eventually imprisoned for extrajudicial killings.
Now, she's following him into Peru’s presidency as the latest right-winger to win power in Latin America.

Take a moment 👇to read former Trump NSC aide’s troubling assessment
Jun 12
Fiona Hill, the former aide to Trump during his first term, participated in the #Kultaranta Talks, organised by the President of Finland, and gave an interesting interview to the Helsingin Sanomat newspaper. Some excerpts:
▪️Greenland could suffer the same fate as Crimea.
▪️Hill says she sees the United States acting more like Russia, the White House more like the Kremlin, and Trump behaving more like Putin. ▪️Hill says that Trump's desire to take over Greenland is psychological. “He wants to own things. This is about him."
▪️”If we look at history, this is exactly how the Soviet Union acted towards its own Warsaw Pact allies: it occupied Hungary, it occupied Czechoslovakia, and it pressured Poland in a way that led to the declaration of martial law in Poland," Hill says.
▪️”Trump is now essentially treating his NATO allies the same way the Soviet leaders treated the Warsaw Pact members: as vassal states and states that have no decision-making power of their own."
▪️On the stage of the Kultaranta discussions, Hill was asked whether Europe can trust the United States.
Hill answered bluntly no. And she reminded that the next administration cannot necessarily be trusted either.

What the Venezuelan opposition doesn't get is that the rule of law for Venezuelan individuals at home doesn't matter for Washington. The rule of law for foreign investors does. Delcy guarantees the latter, not the former. That's the new setup in Venezuela.

Officials "took everything, demolished walls and ceilings, and killed our dogs" when they recently expropriated the home of Venezuelan opposition leader @leopoldolopez
Investors should beware: Delcy Rodriguez's regime does not respect the rule of law
