Cumplir su promesa de control migratorio férreo se ha convertido en la obsesión del presidente Donald Trump. En sus primeras semanas la lista de acciones es amplísima y las repercusiones internas y externas ya se sienten. Entre otras: declarar emergencia nacional en la frontera sur, poner fin de inmediato al uso de la aplicación gratuita que permitía a los migrantes agendar citas para solicitar asilo en Estados Unidos (CBP One), iniciar el proceso para poner fin a la ciudadanía por nacimiento, remover al personal de la agencia del Departamento de Justicia que supervisa los tribunales de inmigración y anunciar para abril la revocatoria del estatus de protección temporal a miles de venezolanos. Fuera de sus fronteras ha imperado el uso de las amenazas de imponer aranceles a México y Canadá para que colaboren con operaciones de control del flujo de personas e ingreso de drogas. El conflicto con Colombia ante el rechazo inicial de recibir aviones con migrantes. En nuestra región la gira que realiza el secretario de Estado Marco Rubio con un mensaje claro y que se entiende al parafrasear sus palabras de que es mejor ser amigo de Estados Unidos, ya que con esa condición se puede negociar para así recibir concesiones. Por ahora, parte de la cosecha de este viaje fue el ofrecimiento del presidente Bukele de usar su mega cárcel, del presidente Mulino de no renovar contratos con China, el anuncio de que Costa Rica sea un tercer país seguro y el ofrecimiento de ayuda en combate al narcotráfico y sobre todo de ciberseguridad, en relación directa a 5G y el rechazo a la tecnología china. Para entender este entrelazado de múltiples factores del fenómeno migratorio conversamos con el politólogo Alfonso Rojas.

It's a DOGE-eat-DOGE world.Before I get into my thoughts on DOGE—and I have quite a few—the reason I haven't written much about it (we did touch on USAID in Wednesday's update) is that I'm still wrapping my head around it.There's a lot of noise surrounding DOGE, and beyond the clatter, it's unclear exactly what's happening. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is in the valley. They lost a big election, have no effective power in government for at least the next two years, and have been throwing a lot of spaghetti at the wall. Chuck Schumer was parading around with a Corona and lime when it looked like we were going to hit Mexico with 25% tariffs, and now, the focus of the last 72 hours has been Elon Musk and DOGE.Because DOGE sits at the center of a political noise machine, I tend to be cautious about jumping in while everything is still in motion.That being said, DOGE is a significant development. What they're doing is something every Republican candidate in my lifetime has promised—and it may very well be illegal. We don't know if they're actually cutting the budget in the way they claim, nor do we know if anything they're doing is truly unlawful. But the fact that both of those questions exist simultaneously is reason enough to take a deeper look.Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency—DOGE—was conceived during Donald Trump's 2024 campaign and made official on January 20, 2025, the first day of Trump's second term. However, it is not a formal cabinet department. Instead, it began under the U.S. Digital Service, which was rebranded as the U.S. DOGE Service, before being placed under the Chief of Staff's office—likely to avoid transparency requirements. The stated goal of DOGE is to modernize federal technology and software to maximize government efficiency, with Musk claiming they aim to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget. Musk has admitted that if they say $2 trillion, they might actually cut $1 trillion, but the ambition remains.DOGE operates out of the Eisenhower Executive Building next to the White House with a small headquarters of about 20 people. Rather than a traditional hierarchy, it functions as a task force embedded across government agencies, with small teams of DOGE operatives placed inside agencies to audit systems and pursue efficiency measures. Musk himself serves as a special government employee, a temporary advisory role that grants him broad access while allowing him to bypass disclosure requirements that apply to full-time officials. This is especially notable given Musk's extensive business interests in China—something so controversial that a bipartisan group of lawmakers banned TikTok last year.Key figures in DOGE include Steve Davis, CEO of The Boring Company and a longtime Musk confidant, who allegedly leads day-to-day operations. Then there are the so-called “DOGE Kids”—young adults, typically aged 19 to 24, from elite universities with backgrounds in Musk companies or the Peter Thiel machine. Some, like Luke Farritor, gained fame for achievements like using AI to decode ancient Roman scrolls. Others, like Marko Elez, have already faced controversy. Ellis resigned after the Wall Street Journal uncovered racist posts he made in 2024, including advocating for eugenic immigration policies and saying he would never marry outside his ethnicity.In its first 80 hours, Musk tweeted that DOGE had canceled $420 million worth of federal contracts. Get it. The issue? DOGE doesn't technically have the authority to cancel contracts. That power belongs to Congress and the departments that administer the funds. So the real question is whether DOGE is canceling these contracts or simply recommending their termination, with the speed of the Trump administration making it appear as though they're acting unilaterally.DOGE's aggressive approach has already ruffled feathers. On inauguration day, Musk's team assumed control of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) headquarters, installing sofa beds in the director's office and working around the clock. Within days, they cut off career OPM staff from internal systems, effectively giving Musk's team exclusive control over federal HR records. Two OPM employees filed a lawsuit in late January, alleging that DOGE unlawfully installed a private server on the agency's network.Things escalated further when DOGE turned its attention to the U.S. Treasury Department's payment system, which processes $5 trillion annually, handling everything from Social Security checks to federal salaries. When David Liebrich, a top Treasury official, refused to grant DOGE access, he was reportedly forced out. By January 31, Trump's new Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, approved DOGE's access. Soon after, a DOGE tech aide obtained unrestricted access to the payment system's code base and began making changes with minimal supervision—an alarming development that has raised red flags in Congress.And then there's USAID. Musk tweeted, “We're shutting it down,” referring to the agency responsible for international aid. But does Musk actually have the authority to do that? Or is he merely advising Marco Rubio, who, as head of the State Department, technically oversees USAID?If Musk is making these decisions, it's illegal. If Rubio is doing it, it's just an unusually fast-moving government operation. The speed and opacity of DOGE make it difficult to tell the difference.Meanwhile, DOGE has brought a renewed focus on federal spending. Social media has been ablaze with revelations about who benefits from government funds. Bill Kristol, a Never Trump figure, was found to have received money through USAID-funded organizations. More controversially, it was revealed that Politico received $8.2 million in federal funding last year. While some jumped to the conclusion that this was a Democratic subsidy for favorable coverage, the truth is more complicated. The money was for Politico Pro, a premium service used by government officials and lobbyists for networking and policy tracking. However, everyone I talked to in pulling this together told me Politico Pro sucks. Specifically compared to competitors like Bloomberg Government, raising questions about why agencies chose it over better alternatives.So how does this end? At some point, DOGE will hit a regulatory or legal wall that slows its momentum. They need enough public goodwill to sustain them when that happens, or the entire operation could grind to a halt.There's already evidence that Musk's influence is waning. A YouGov poll from November 2024 showed that 47% of Republicans wanted Musk to have significant influence in government. That number has since dropped to 26%, with 43% now preferring that he have only limited influence. Among all Americans, only 13% want Musk to have a lot of influence, while 46% want him to have none.DOGE's speed and disruption are unprecedented, but whether they represent true reform or reckless overreach remains an open question.All that… plus Jen Briney gives me her Doge thoughts and our final assessments of the confirmation hearings. Karol Markowicz joins the show to discuss Trump's musings on Gaza and the GOP infighting in Florida over immigration.Chapters00:00 Intro00:56 Let's Talk DOGE24:02 Jen Briney on DOGE and Confirmation Hearings40:18 Jen Briney on Confirmation Hearings01:10:02 UPDATE01:19:06 Karol Markowicz This is a public episode.

Los ultranacionalistas del patio que tienen décadas metiendo el cuco de la amenaza con la famosa fusión de la isla pasarán par de meses callados luego de la visita de Marco Rubio que dejó claro que gringolandia ni sus pares le pide a República Dominicana que resuelva el problema de Haití. Como tenemos la peor educación del mundo y siempre habrá gente que solo crea lo que quiere creer eso durará poco pero por ahora los más insignes ultras que están ocupados en algunos problemitas propios estárán callados. Los televidentes de SM estaban adelantados de los resultados de ayer: A Abinader le interesaba el tema Haití y a Rubio las tierras raras del sur. Adelantarse a la posible explotación de esos minerales es innecesario, los procesos en minería son largos. A gringolandia le interesa saber que están ahí, que están en manos de un socio y que por tanto es su área de influencia. Las Reservas de EStados Unidos superan los 1,5 millones de toneladas pero aun así quieren tener control de por lo menos el 20 % del estimado mundial de esos minerales. El 80% como dije ayer está en manos de los Brics. Por ahora esas reservas que el presidente Abinader situó en 100 millones de toneladas, aclarando que son reservas brutas, porque las netas es otra cosa, otorgan poder. En los próximos días o meses se aclaran los números porque las reservas chinas, estimadas como las más importantes del mundo,  son de 44   millones de toneladas pero, mientras tanto hay que empezar a hacer cocote. El valor de los minerales de uso en alta tecnología evoluciona como la tecnología misma o sea a la misma velocidad. El año pasado el litio que es el mineral por excelencia para la fabricación de baterías se depreció un 80% solo porque China desarrolló una batería que necesita mucho menos litio y un poquito de Lantano. Parte de la crisis política económica de Bolivia que es el principal productor mundial de litio tiene que ver con esa caída de los precios. El Lantano cuya presencia está en el centro de África y Brasil es la causa de una guerra que está cobrando miles de vida en la República del Congo porque los vecinos ruandeses quieren controlar las áreas de explotación de esa tierra rara. Como ustedes ven todas las guerras ahora y antes tienen que ven con los negocios y los intereses.

El jefe de la diplomacia de Estados Unidos, Marcos Rubio, afirmó que respeta el marco legal de Panamá y los procedimientos que rigen el Canal, aunque le parece “absurdo” que su país tenga que pagar cuotas para transitar “una zona” que tiene la obligación de proteger en momentos de conflicto. Rubio eludió reconocer que el departamento de Estado mintió al asegurar, durante su vista al país centroamericano, que los barcos de guerra estadounidense habían sido exonerados de pagar peaje al pasar por el Canal de Panamá.  Al parecer, las falsedades, contradicciones y desmentidos son el sello del segundo corto mandato de Donald Trump. Esta vez, la visita del jefe de la diplomacia de Estados Unidos, Marco Rubio, a Panamá desató el fuego cruzado de declaraciones mentirosas e impugnaciones.El Departamento de Estado estadounidense aseguró el miércoles 5 de febrero que sus embarcaciones militares ya pueden transitar sin pagar tarifas por el Canal de Panamá. Con celeridad, la Autoridad del Canal de Panamá (ACP) negó que el país centroamericano haya aceptado eximir del pago a embarcaciones de guerra estadounidenses.“Ningún cambio a sus tarifas de peaje”“La Autoridad del Canal de Panamá emitió un comunicado de prensa donde indica que ellos no han realizado ningún cambio a sus tarifas de peaje. Atribuciones que le corresponde a través de la Constitución de la República de Panamá”, comenta Erving Vargas, experto en seguridad portuaria y marítima y director del Centro tecnológico de cooperación marítima para Latinoamérica.“Lo que sí comunicaron es que están en comunicación con el Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos para discutir las futuras medidas para agilizar el paso de las embarcaciones de guerra de Estados Unidos”, agrega.“Con absoluta responsabilidad, la Autoridad del Canal de Panamá (ACP), está en disposición para establecer un diálogo con los funcionarios pertinentes de los Estados Unidos respecto al tránsito de buques de guerra de dicho país”, destacó la ACP en un comunicado.La noticia de que embarcaciones militares de Estados Unidos no pagarían peajes por transitar por el Canal de Panamá venia tomando fuerza antes de la vista de Rubio. Interrogada por la Agencia Bloomberg, la ACP respondió que “la estructura de peajes vigente en el Canal de Panamá se mantiene igual para todos los usuarios y se calcula de acuerdo con el tipo de buque y carga que transporten. En el caso de los buques de guerra, tanto de Estados Unidos como de cualquier otro país, el cobro de peaje se calcula en función de las toneladas de desplazamiento y los servicios marítimos que se requieran”.“La autoridad del Canal de Panamá fija los peajes”Las falsedades de Washington también desatoraron el rechazo y la cólera del presidente panameño José Raúl Mulino. “Tengo que rechazar ese comunicado del Departamento de Estado porque está basado sobre una falsedad. Y así, por lo menos en mi librito, no se manejan las relaciones bilaterales de dos países amigos y socios a través de la historia”, afirmó el mandatario.Mulino reveló que conversó con el secretario de Defensa estadounidense, Pete Hegseth, a quien le explicó la “imposibilidad” constitucional de modificar los peajes del Canal de Panamá. “El presidente no tiene esa potestad”, subrayó el mandatario. Además, recordó que el artículo 319 de la Constitución Política señala que es la Junta Directiva de la ACP la que fija los peajes, con la aprobación final del Consejo de Gabinete. “Para que tengamos en claro la autoridad del Canal de Panamá fija los peajes, las tasas y los derechos para uso del Canal y los servicios conexos que el Canal da. El Canal de Panamá hace una evaluación de sus gastos operativos para ver si el incremento puede darse o ajustes al mismo. Y eso se presenta ante el Consejo de Gabinete para su ratificación. El Consejo de Gabinete solamente verifica que se cumpla con lo que se dice en la Constitución en ese punto específico. Todo esto está establecido dentro de la política de Estado que tiene Panamá para que el Canal se maneje de una forma autónoma dentro del país o dentro de la República de Panamá”, detalla el experto Erving Vargas.Tras su visita a las esclusas de Miraflores, en el Canal de Panamá, el secretario de Estado Marcos Rubio dijo: “Cuando estuve allí ayer (domingo 2 de febrero), el barco detrás de mí, justo sobre mi hombro, era un buque de carga de Hong Kong, por lo que su presencia, no solo en el Canal, sino en todo Panamá, es muy preocupante”. Sin embargo, el barco al que se refiere Rubio que pasaba no era de Hong Kong. Se trataba del buque GAS Ares, de bandera panameña, perteneciente a una empresa de Corea del Sur. La embarcación partió de un puerto en Texas, Estados Unidos, con rumbo a la ciudad costera surcoreana de Yeosu.Finalizada la reunión entre el secretario de Estado y el presidente de Panamá, Washington anunció que Panamá congeló un acuerdo con China conocido como la Ruta de la Seda y abrió la puerta para que la empresa china Hutchison Ports deje de operar los puertos vecinos al Canal.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveDonald Trump and Elon Musk are moving quickly, so we decided to release this episode a few days early. In a half-week of alarming developments, Trump has announced that the United States might send troops to Gaza to transfer the Palestinian population to Egypt or Jordan, and to aid in reconstructing the country. Elon Musk has become the undertaker of government agencies, the wrecker of the civil service. Through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk has effectively shut down USAID, offered payouts to members of other agencies, and more.In an effort to make sense of all this, Shadi Hamid and Damir Marusic are interrogated by WoC executive editor, Santiago Ramos. Is Trump serious about Gaza? What do his statements suggest about the possible endgames for the Gaza war and the future of the Israeli-Palestinian question? Was Shadi wrong to suggest that Trump might be better on this question than Biden was? Is Trump acting according to what he thinks is the national interest? Or is this a random shot in the dark?The second issue — DOGE — prompts a more serious set of questions. Are we in a constitutional crisis? If not now, then will we be one in a few months time, when the judiciary steps in to check DOGE? Why exactly are Trump and Musk interested in hollowing out the administrative state? Are we in a watershed moment in American history? Is there anything that we can do to preserve the rule of law?In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Shadi explains why he believes that ideology is driving Trump and Musk, rather than just the desire for power; Damir argues that he concept of punishment is essential to justice; and Santiago describes the difference between Louis XIV and Napoleon.Required Reading* “Trump Proposes U.S. Takeover of Gaza and Says All Palestinians Should Leave” (New York Times).* Marco Rubio on Trump's Gaza comments (NBC).* Rich Kushner's February 2024 comments on “waterfront property” in Gaza (The Guardian). * Shadi's post about Trump v.

The walls are closing in—on the right people. Today on Badlands Daily, CannCon and Patrick Gunnels break down Trump's total war on the deep state, starting with the USAID takedown that has the regime in a full-blown panic. Turns out, 6,200 journalists and 707 media outlets worldwide were directly funded by the U.S. government—and now they're mysteriously unable to make payroll. Meanwhile, the CIA buyouts are stacking up, with over 40,000 bureaucrats already taking the deal, and Chuck Schumer just accidentally warned us that the IRS is next on the chopping block (yes, please). Plus, Mitch McConnell is literally falling apart, Marco Rubio snubs the G20's climate cult gathering, and Argentina just officially dumped the WHO, following Trump's lead. And in today's most misunderstood headline, Trump's Gaza Gambit has world leaders scrambling—what does it really mean when he talks about U.S. “ownership” of the Strip? Spoiler: It's not what the media is telling you. The deep state is on life support, and we're here for every second of the meltdown. Buckle up!

Buscan un segundo túnel para traficar droga o cruzar migrantesDiputados aprueban listado de aspirantes a diversos cargos del PJChoque de aviones en Aeropuerto Internacional de Seattle-TacomaMás información en nuestro Podcast

Desde anteayer, les dije que la agenda del gobierno dominicano ante la visita de Marco Rubio tendría como tema fundamental Haití. Luis Abinader tiene cuatro años viajando, yendo a la ONU y a cualquier espacio posible para plantear el drama haitiano y el impacto de ese drama en la República Dominicana. En un primer momento el abordaje era por el costo para el estado dominicano de la masiva migración haitiana que busca simplemente sobrevivir. Ahora se suman las aprehensiones válidas de que Haití exporte además de su pobreza su violencia encarnada en las bandas armadas, algunas de las cuales operan a escasos kilometros de RD como es el caso de la 400 Mawozo en Croix de Bouquets y Fond Parisien. Pero, una negociación que es lo que se espera de la visita del secretario de EStado es doble vía. Rubio busca y Abinader o el gobierno dominicano. La sorpresa de la jornada es que ayer el presidente dominicano adelantara que en la agenda de Rubio, están las tierras raras.  Tan raras como su nombre las tierras ahora famosas son el gran poder que tiene china.  En los principios de la era industrial los países se medían por la producción de acero. Inglaterra que tenía un enorme almacen mundial gracias a su imperio en el que no se ponía el sol y luego, Alemania, la antigua URSS y EStados Unidos con recursos propios controlaban la producción mundial de acero. Aunque  no ha dejado de ser relevante el acero, del que China no tenía ni un gramo no es la materia prima más importante.  Ahora son las tierras raras de las que China controla el 60% de las reservas mundiales. El presidente Trump está interesado en Groenlandia porque hay tierras raras y quiere un acuerdo con Ucrania si le dan acceso a tierras raras. Quiere que Canadá sea un estado de la unión americana porque tiene tierras raras. Las tierras raras son vitales para la alta tecnología que busca controlar EStados Unidos y por ahora están en manos de países que están lejos Washington. Que bueno que hay un chin de tierras raras en Barahona, ojalá y permitan una buena negociacion .

El secretario de Estado, Marco Rubio, cierra en República Dominicana una gira por naciones centroamericanas y del Caribe. Esta y otras noticias de Estados Unidos y América Latina en Buenos Días América, un programa de la Voz de América.

Tommy and Ben discuss the assault on USAID by Trump and Elon Musk, how Democrats can best make the argument to support it, and why putting it under the purview of the State Department is a bad idea. They also discuss a purge at the FBI, Marco Rubio's first overseas trip as Secretary of State, the moral and logistical stupidity of both sending US prisoners to El Salvador and undocumented migrants to Guantanamo Bay, Trump launching air strikes in Somalia, and Netanyahu's meeting with Trump at the White House. Then, Ben speaks with Sky News Africa Correspondent Yousra Elbagir about the violence unfolding in the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

Trump might get his cabinet after all.It was never going to be easy, many of them pulled from the Deep MAGA reserves doomed to offend the old guard who are developing carpel tunnel holding their nose through Trump's second administration. Others are lifelong Democrats who helped over the finish line but still inspire a stink eye from lifelong Republicans.Some confirmations were easy—Elise Stefanik sailed through, and Marco Rubio was unanimous. Others more controversial, like Pete Hegseth, who barely squeaked by. But throughout it all, two nominees had the lowest odds of making it through, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. That's because neither of them are Republicans, and in a Senate where the GOP holds a 53-47 edge, blocking a nomination means peeling off Republican votes, not relying on Democratic opposition. The Democrats could stomp their feet all they wanted—it didn't matter. But on this Tuesday, both have made it out of committee, thanks to key endorsements from influential figures within the GOP they both look to be on a narrow but assured path to the executive branch where they will serve at the pleasure of the president.Politics Politics Politics is free twice a week. Does it LOOK like news is only breaking twice a week? C'mon dude, get the two bonus episodes.Tulsi GabbardHer confirmation was boosted by Susan Collins, a senator unafraid to buck the Trump administration. Representing Maine—a state that's far from a deep-red stronghold—Collins' support was critical. It was enough to push Gabbard through committee on strict party lines. Beyond Collins, outreach from newly installed CIA Director John Radcliffe and Senator J.D. Vance helped smooth over concerns that arose during her confirmation hearing. The main sticking point? Her stance on Edward Snowden. Gabbard made it clear that she viewed Snowden as a criminal and would not recommend a pardon, but she stopped short of calling him a traitor. This led to a bizarre debate over whether she was sufficiently condemning Snowden, as some seemed to argue that unless she said the magic “traitor” word she was unqualified. Gabbard's confirmation has brought together one of the strangest coalitions I've seen on the right—far-right Republicans like Tom Cotton, staunch Never Trumpers like Meghan McCain, and figures like TuringPoint's Charlie Kirk. McCain even appeared on Kirk's radio show Monday to announce they'd team up to primary anyone who voted against Gabbard. That looks like it might not be necessary.RFK Jr. Unlike Gabbard, his confirmation hearing was messier. While Gabbard kept her composure, RFK Jr. approached it like a Kennedy: arrogantly. Democrats took their best shot, mostly by hammering him on vaccines, though their efforts were, frankly, ineffective. They made a lot of noise but didn't seem genuinely committed to blocking him. In the end, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a Republican who voted to impeach Trump, decided he was comfortable enough with RFK Jr. to push him through committee.With that, Trump's cabinet is nearly complete. There's one more potential hurdle: a labor secretary nominee who previously supported the PRO Act and has drawn skepticism from Republicans. But compared to Tulsi and RFK, this is a much lower-profile battle.At the end of the day, this confirmation process has been tougher than what Trump faced in his first term, but his team has handled it deftly. The Democrats? They put up almost no real defense.Was that on purpose? I don't know. I suspect they don't either.Chapters00:00 Intro02:50 Tulsi and RFK safe?12:42 USAID21:04 Waffle House Raises Egg Prices25:46 Senate Takes Charge on Reconciliation Bills32:38 Chris Cillizza This is a public episode.

Hablamos en Washington D.C. con la periodista y corresponsal Dori Toribio; en la misma ciudad con el corresponsal de "Reforma" de México, José Díaz Briseño, y también con el subdirector para las Américas de Human Rights Watch, Juan Pappier

Donald Trump ordenó hace unos días que la Agencia estadounidense para el desarrollo internacional, más conocida por sus siglas USAID, pasase a depender del departamento de Estado. En principio nada especial, ya que esta agencia depende ya del Gobierno. Pero la medida ha venido acompañada de una formidable polémica porque el nuevo departamento de eficiencia gubernamental, el conocido como DOGE, capitaneado por Elon Musk se ha metido de lleno en el asunto. Todo comenzó durante el pasado fin de semana, cuando miembros del personal de DOGE con el consentimiento de la presidencia accedieron a los archivos de USAID. Dos de los funcionarios de la agencia fueron relevados porque intentaron impedirlo alegando motivos legales. Un día más tarde, el secretario de Estado, Marco Rubio, anunció que pasaba a ser director de USAID con la idea de maximizar su eficiencia y alinear sus operaciones con el interés nacional y que así recupere su independencia. Rubio envió una carta al Congreso en la que informaba que su departamento iba a revisar y reestructurar la agencia de ayuda al desarrollo. Los demócratas del Congreso no terminan de verlo y han acusado a Rubio de estar violando la ley, ya que necesita su autorización para intervenir sobre USAID. La senadora demócrata Jeanne Shaheen exigió a Marco Rubio una explicación inmediata sobre quienes accedieron a los sistemas de la agencia y qué tipo de información habían recabado. Rubio no hizo oídos sordos a la petición, poco después su departamento emitió una nota de prensa en la que mostraba su intención de coordinarse con el Congreso para la reestructuración. Pero el ambiente ya estaba muy caldeado, Elon Musk acusó en X a USAID de ser una “organización criminal”, “un cesto lleno de gusanos sin ninguna manzana” y un “nido de víboras marxistas radicales”. Aseguró que, ahora que dispone de información de primera mano, han comprobado como una parte de los fondos que distribuye la agencia por distintas partes del mundo se ha destinado a financiar programas de extrema izquierda y engrasar la máquina de propaganda del partido Demócrata. La Casa Blanca aportó algunas pruebas. Según reveló su secretaria de prensa, la agencia ha destinado recientemente millón y medio de dólares a programas de diversidad en Serbia, 70.000 dólares para un musical igualitario en Irlanda, 47.000 dólares para una ópera trans en Colombia y 32.000 dólares para un cómic trans en Perú. Son cantidades pequeñas en comparación con el presupuesto total de la agencia, que ronda los 50.000 millones de dólares, pero han indignado a muchos estadounidenses. Otros, en cambio, están indignados por lo contrario. Consideran que lo que está haciendo Trump con USAID es intolerable y pone en riesgo iniciativas en más de un centenar de países con programas que incluyen la lucha contra el hambre, la respuesta a desastres naturales y el combate de enfermedades infecciosas. La agencia da trabajo a unas 10.000 personas entre las que reina ahora la incertidumbre porque los fondos de la agencia han sido congelados hasta nuevo aviso. Se ha pedido a muchos que trabajen desde casa y más de uno teme por su puesto de trabajo. En principio el futuro en sí de USAID no corre peligro, la agencia como tal seguirá existiendo, pero es seguro que la nueva administración redefinirá su funcionamiento y sus objetivos por completo.
