Episode Details

In today's podcast, Jorge Gestoso discusses the ongoing implementation of President Trump's tariffs: 25% on Mexico and Canada, and 20% on China. Trump claims these tariffs address national security threats from drug smuggling, particularly fentanyl. 

In retaliation, China has announced additional tariffs on U.S. products, while Canada and Mexico have responded with their own tariffs and diplomatic statements. 

Additionally, the trial of former Peruvian President Pedro Castillo is set to begin, with accusations of an unfair trial due to alleged denial of legal defense and claims that his ousting was a parliamentary coup. Castillo faces a possible 34-year prison sentence. 

Meanwhile, Latin America is in the midst of vibrant carnival celebrations.
