Lobbying firms are cashing in on tariffs, promising companies and governments access to Trump world to make the case for carveouts. One Latin America-focused firm reported a 2,800% increase in revenue from last year. @lee_schlenker responsiblestatecraft.org/latin-america-…
I strongly condemn Trump and Rubio’s reckless, deadly, and illegal strike on a vessel in the Caribbean Sea. Congress did not authorize this strike, and there was no due process, and the American people overwhelmingly oppose forever war. This extrajudicial attack is a dangerous…

My latest in @RStatecraft on how former Trump LatAm officials are running the fastest-growing DC lobby shop for Latin American and Caribbean governments seeking access to the Trump administration over its trade and tariffs policies. responsiblestatecraft.org/latin-america-…
10 F-35 jets are being dispatched to Puerto Rico to support the drug war Naval flotilla of 7 vessels in the southern Caribbean, a senior admin official tells @axios, confirming a Reuters report As we wrote yesterday, this drug war looks like a real war axios.com/2025/09/04/tru…
🚨 Estados Unidos podría descertificar a Colombia en la “guerra contra las drogas”. La decisión se tomará antes del 15 de sept. Podría ser la primera vez en casi 30 años y tendría consecuencias políticas, económicas y diplomáticas. ¿Qué significa y qué está en juego? 🧵
"Blow them up" — In Ecuador, Sec. of State @marcorubio says the US will work with partner governments to do violent strikes against drug cartels and other crime groups. That follows a US air strike that killed 11 people on a boat from Venezuela. Story: nytimes.com/2025/09/04/wor…
Rare to find journalism this rigorous on Venezuela. @theguacamayave’s piece on the “Cartel de los Soles” goes beyond polarized narratives, grounding the debate in evidence. A key contribution in a media landscape too often clouded by politics. guacamayave.com/en/the-cartel-…
My latest in @ForeignPolicy . Trump's Venezuela Boat Strike Is A Dangerous Escalation Against Maduro foreignpolicy.com/2025/09/04/ven…
For years now, Washington has pressed Ecuador to minimize its economic links with China while doing little more than to get it into a bad loan to help it overcome the serious challenges it faces. Now @jorgeheinel writes, Rubio will swoop in an ask for more.

1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat. Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable. Read this expert analysis⤵️
“The U.S. armed forces did something that it has never done…in more than 35 years of military involvement in drug interdiction in the Caribbean Sea: an instant escalation to disproportionate lethal force against a civilian vessel without any apparent self-defense justification.”
“The U.S. armed forces did something that it has never done…in more than 35 years of military involvement in drug interdiction in the Caribbean Sea: an instant escalation to disproportionate lethal force against a civilian vessel without any apparent self-defense justification.”
Tensions between the US and Venezuela have sparked growing concern in #Colombia about the possible spillover of any destabilization in Caracas. As a taste of what may come, a short🧵on the changing armed group dynamics along the 2,200km border 👇 crisisgroup.org/latin-america-…

“I increasingly fear that the Trump administration may stumble into an intervention scenario in Venezuela, which would be frankly disastrous,” says @Cartajuanero theguardian.com/world/2025/sep…
More follow up from my piece last month on Haiti's elite and their lobbying efforts in DC: When Haitian PM Fils-Aimé hired former Trump advisor Carlos Trujillo as a lobbyist, Trujillo was also representing Reuven Bigio's GB Group conglomerate. For the first 6 months of 2025,…
“The next month is going to be crucial for the U.S.-Colombia relationship…If “decertification” happens…it could mark a major setback in the decadeslong relationship between the U.S. & perhaps its closest security partner in the region.” @GRamsey_LatAm atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla…
Drug trafficking is a crime, not an act of war. Traffickers must be arrested, not summarily executed, which U.S. forces just illegally did.
