wild that Trump calls Delcy a "terrific person" when she's been running cover for a brutal regime for years here she is with Al Jazeera in Sept 2017, right after the most vicious crackdowns in chavismo history none of this was true. and she wasn't even asked about the torture

After kidnapping Maduro, Trump is as about as popular in Venezuela as the opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado. This according to our new polling www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

you're both looking at the wrong thing. CBC just does a "nowcast" ie what would happen were the election held today, based on the polls. a newspaper you might have heard of publishes the only actual forecast of the result of the election www.economist.com/interactive/...

Trump fentanyl riffs are just not credible the CBP seized 13 grams (grams!!!) of fentanyl at the Canadian border in January. That is down by a factor of 180x since Trump was elected The CBP seized 16x more fentanyl at interior ports in 2024 than it did at the Canadian border

Deepseek's training-compute economy seems to me like a deeply bearish signal for Nvidia, and yet... what am I missing?

Argentina is exceptional, but there is still a lot to learn from Mr Milei's first year in office www.economist.com/leaders/2024...

On Monday Kinley Salmon, our Latin America correspondent, interviewed Javier Milei in Buenos Aires Our cover story examines his dramatic reform programme in Argentina, one year after he took office, and the lessons it holds for the rest of the world
An Economist cover in black and white, with the red logo top left, which quotes Javier Milei saying "My contempt for the state is infinite". The image is Milei staring down the barrel of the camera

this story by Mat Youkee is gruesome and fascinating, an ecological phenomenon at the intersection of migration, deforestation and climate change www.economist.com/the-americas...
