Dear @realDonaldTrump@WhiteHouse@USAmbUruguay
We Uruguayans produce some of the best beef in the world, with quality, traceability, and the hard work of thousands of rural producers.
I have just learned of the decision to grant 300,000 tons of access to the U.S. market to Brazil and Paraguay, while Argentina received 80,000 tons last year.
Uruguay is the smallest country in Mercosur and, nevertheless, has a great cattle-raising tradition and produces exceptionally high-quality beef. Our rural sector should not be held responsible for political decisions made by our government.
I am the President of the International Affairs Committee of the Uruguayan Parliament and, at the same time, a rancher and agricultural producer. I know firsthand the effort of our producers and what it means for Uruguay to have fair access to major international markets.
That is why I ask you, President Trump, for a little balance and consideration for Uruguay.
We are not asking for privileges. We are asking for a fair opportunity to compete.
Rural Uruguay is a friend of the United States and shares with you values of freedom, hard work, democracy, and respect for private property.
Please do not forget Uruguay. We may be small in territory and population, but we are great in production, quality, and friendship.
Sincerely,
Sebastián Da Silva
President, International Affairs Committee
Uruguayan Parliament
Rancher and Agricultural Producer
Coherencia ayer, hoy y mañana.
Maduro es un dictador. Lo dije en todos lados. No dudé en hablar frente a él y sus “aliados”. Incluso fui criticado por no invitar dictadores a nuestra asunción
Falla la comunidad internacional. Fallan los resortes para proteger los derechos humanos.
Hoy puede amanecer la libertad en Venezuela. Puede.
No justifico la intervención armada. La pregunta es: hasta cuándo iba a seguir esta dictadura? Hasta cuándo un pueblo oprimido, perseguido, encarcelado?
Hasta cuando tantos iban a callar o mirar para el costado?
@odovat@elonmusk And a team of Uruguayans were the first to drive the Panamerican Higway, from Anchorage (Alaska) to Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego) using Teslas! @Electr_Americas
🇺🇾 Recorrer América, de punta a punta, en dos vehículos eléctricos por 7 meses: suena al argumento de una película, pero es la hazaña que tres uruguayos realizaron por estos días. https://t.co/MOhx8NNZ3B
Hello everyone! The expedition is over, but not our mission, and we are working hard to release our documentary soon!
Here is the first version of our teaser video; please let us know what you think!

El sueño se hizo realidad. Tres 🇺🇾 unieron el norte con el sur en auto eléctrico conociendo historias vinculadas a la sustentabilidad y difundiendo sus propias ideas. Felicitaciones al equipo de @Electr_Americas !!!!
So we did it! We drove two electric cars, @Tesla, from Anchorage (Alaska) to Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego)! We just wanted to prove it was possible, and it is. It’s not easy yet, but soon this will be “normal”. @Electr_Americas
