As Trump continues to levy trade tariffs on America’s trading partners, despite international agreements stipulating that such actions will not be implemented, the team of nations opposing Trump’s trade policies continues to grow and hit back.
Yesterday we got our first 2018 World Cup scare.
A Moscow taxi driver lost control of his car and drove his vehicle onto a crowded sidewalk near Red Square, injuring seven people, including two Mexican nationals who had come to Russia for the World Cup.
The accident occurred on the busy, city center Ilyinka Street, where tourists and locals were out celebrating the Russia 2018 World Cup.
While staring down the barrel of potential tariffs on autos being levied by the Trump administration, the Mexicans are considering their options.
One of those happens to be a retaliatory tariff on American grown soybeans and corn.
Mexico has been researching other suppliers from which to purchase these goods as well in order to dampen any negative impact on the Mexican economy that these tariffs might pose.
MEXICO CITY — Leon Fierro spent 20 days in a Mexican jail on trumped-up attempted-homicide charges he says came on orders from the government. Upon his release, the human rights activist returned to organizing Mexicans against efforts to privatize their water, visiting Mexico City to speak out against the government’s efforts to intimidate him and derail the movement he leads.
Fierro told MintPress News:
While outraged Americans across the country are calling their elected representatives and taking to the streets to protest the Trump administration’s forcible separation of parents and children at the U.S.-Mexico border, intelligence and defense contractors are raking in millions thanks to the cruel practice.
Food and agriculture across the world is in crisis. Food is becoming denutrified and unhealthy and diets less diverse.
Despite tremendous hardship which the Venezuelan people are having to face, despite the sanctions and intimidation from abroad, President Nicolás Maduro has won a second six-year term.
Two weeks ago, at the Venezuelan embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, where I addressed several leaders of East African left-wing opposition, an acting Charge d’ Affaires, Jose Avila Torres, declared: “People of Venezuela are now facing similar situation as the Syrian people.”
Disguised as opinion polls, Mexicans are receiving automated campaign calls against the National Renewal Movement’s (Morena) Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the front-runner for the upcoming presidential elections in Mexico.
Citizens started receiving the calls, which claim to be from “Mexican Institute for Democracy,” recently, however, an investigation done by Mexican newspaper El Universal found no records of its existence.
Background
The EU on Wednesday said a raft of retaliatory tariffs, including on whiskey and motorcycles, against painful metals duties imposed by the US would be ready as early as July.
The European Commission, which handles trade matters for the 28-country bloc, “expects to conclude the relevant procedure in coordination with member states before the end of June,” said European Commission Vice-President Maros Sefcovic at a news briefing.
This would allow “that the new duties start applying in July,” he added.
