It seems like the U.S. used regulatory lawfare to distress the Canadian mining firm Sherritt (which operates a joint venture with Cuba), then initiated a hostile takeover by a Trump-allied single-family officeβall within the context of an attempted regime change operation.
Indexes when Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will be open by September π
Indexes when there are stronger than expected jobs numbers π
There is direct correlation between your immiseration and the wealth of the oligarch class.
@lanceh1958@atrupar Itβs just a specter that politicians bring up whenever the dairy lobby hands them their talking points. Wisconsin is the answer to that age-old governance question: what if you used the state apparatus to do corporate socialism on behalf of Kraft cheese?
@atrupar I love the idea that thereβs some guy out there who got caught stealing catalytic converters and he thought to himself: Jeez, the president is crazy, is now is my moment to ask for a pardon? Whatβs the worst that could happen? He says no? And then it fucking worked.
@BTnewsroom Also on the list, a mining company that runs a joint venture with an Australian firm.
Anyone want to guess how long it will take before a Trump ally steps in with a lowball offer to buy out the Australians?
Minera La Victoria, which runs a joint venture with the Australian mining firm Antilles Gold, is on the latest list of Cuban sanctions.
The Trump administration is about to run the same play they did with the Canadian mining firm Sherritt: distress and dispossess.
For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism. The regime in Havana has recruited, trained and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond. Today, we are targeting the network that enables and funds Cuba's subversive and radical operations.
Pursuant to sanctions authorities created by President Trumpβs groundbreaking Cuba Executive Order, I am designating the following entities:
1. Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba (MINFAR)
2. Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP)
3. Amistur Cuba S.A.
4. Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR)
5. Minera La Victoria S.A.
Anyone providing services to these sanctioned actors is at risk of sanctions themselves. Foreign banks and other companies that provide services to these entities should freeze those activities.
The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate radical Marxist regimes in our hemisphere seeking to threaten U.S. national security and engage in influence operations to export their poisonous and evil βrevolutionβ to our country and around the world.
@dvaldesnyc@HexPositive Trump will direct the treasury to issue OFAC licenses to his buddies, with the understanding that the Trump family will buy the properties once he is out of office.
Miami is not a monolith. Gladys Canizares left #Cuba alone at 15, sent to the U.S. through Operation Pedro Pan. Years later in Miami, she became an organizer in the hardline Cuban American lobby. Today, she's one of the loudest voices to end the embargo she once defended.
Explaining what a βdeductibleβ and βout of pocket maximumβ is to reactionary expats who moved to the U.S. from countries with socialized healthcare and watching the look of horror on their face as it dawns on them that the socialists back home were right all along.
Rural workers in Bolivia have seized an oil field in the Santa Cruz region and halted all production, as part of the general strike against neoliberalism.
The site, in the Santa Rosa del Sara municipality, is now fully offline.
Stakes couldnβt be higher for the Colombian and Peruvian elections.
If right-wing proxies control all of the Andes, including its mineral bounty and port infrastructure, the wealth from the impending commodity super-cycle will flow disproportionately to the US and Canada.
