Darrell Castle talks about President Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland presented earlier this week and the important issues surrounding the speech including Greenland, Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, and of course Minneapolis. Transcription / Notes TRUMP SPEAKS TO THE WEF Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 23rd day of January in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about President Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland which was given on Wednesday of this week. I will also talk about some of the important issues surrounding that speech including Greenland, Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, and of course Minneapolis. Yes, President Trump traveled to Davos this week accompanied by a large U.S. delegation including Secretary of State Marco Rubio. California Governor Gavin Newscom was in attendance although not part of the US delegation. He was quick to gather a news event to question everything the President said. So, the President spoke for over an hour to the richest, most powerful, most pompous and self-important people in this world. He used the occasion to sign the Board of Peace Charter, officially launching a new international organization tasked with overseeing the peace process between Israel and Hamas to end the war in Gaza. Trump said as he signed, “This Board is the chance to be one of the most consequential bodies ever created, and it's my enormous honor to serve as its chairman.” Founding members of the board were in attendance including Bahrain, Morocco, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Pakistan, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Mongolia and the United Arab Emirates. Missing was Bibi Netanyahu because he has an international warrant out for him and he would most likely have been arrested. Could the Board of Peace end up replacing the United Nations? President Trump seems to think so, “I wish the United Nations could do more. I wish we didn't need a Board of Peace. The UN just hasn't been very helpful. I'm a big fan of the UN's potential but it has never lived up to its potential.” Trump, despite his criticism, didn't call for the dissolution of the UN. I suppose he left that duty to me and I have been actively calling for its dissolution since about 1990 when I became associated with the Constitution Party. Many people agree with me but find it very difficult to say so. I supported Ron Paul's presidential campaigns partly because of his end the FED rhetoric and his criticism of international bodies such as the UN. I fear that the Board of Peace will become just another bureaucracy but we will see whether it can really achieve peace in Gaza. The proposal calls for Hamas to lay down its arms which it has publicly refused to do. Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law presented a slide show detailing the architectural plans for the Gaza strip. I hope those plans include the Palestinians still alive but we will see. Perhaps they can find jobs in the fabulous hotels and resorts that are supposed to be built. In the meantime, the IDF has reportedly killed at least 466 Palestinians since the ceasefire started as well as 3 journalists one of whom worked for Bari Weiss the new head of news at CBS. When invited to speak at WEF Denmark announced that it would not be attending because of Trump's position on Greenland. Perhaps the Danes don't quite understand the art of the deal. He renounced any plans to acquire Greenland by force and worked out a deal with NATO to allow US use of Greenland and in return plans for tariffs on EU members were canceled. Trump believes, and it makes sense to me, that the US needs influence there as a hedge against long term adversaries in the Arctic like China and Russia, for example. He assured them that US acquisition of rights in Greenland was not only, not a threat to NATO but would greatly enhance the security of the alliance. He said the new agreement would involve the Danes with the Golden Dome, and mineral rights.  In case you don't know Golden Dome is a new missile defense system being built. Mark Rutte, the head of NATO, said after his meeting with Trump that the discussion about Greenland had changed. Now the discussion is about how the arctic region can be protected and secured. George Friedman is a geopolitical analyst of impeccable reputation and I have been a subscriber to his publication, Geopolitical Futures for many years. In regard to Greenland George said in his recent newsletter that he admitted for the first time he just could not explain or figure out something. He could not explain why Trump would place tariffs on NATO allies in order to acquire interest in Greenland. Now that Trump has lowered the temperature of the discussion the point may be moot but I think he does not have the same regard for the Europeans that many others have. In fact, I think this whole new Strategic Strategies Report that the administration just released is an announcement that the security agreement that has existed since World War ll has run its course and is now over. The US will consider its own hemisphere and its own defense first. In other words, this is all a continuation of the American Revolution which for 250 years has not been able to separate the American people from the European bankers. The bankers got their prize with the formation of the Federal Reserve which was formed to take control of the US financial system and keep the American people in debt slavery forever. The FED prints its own money and loans it to the US so it can be used to pay US interest on the debt that it has, thus 38 trillion debt and one trillion of interest. Take, for example, Mark Carney the Prime Minister of Canada. He is former governor of the Central Bank of England and former governor of the Central Bank of Canada and though in office, still associated with powerful banking and investment firms. That may be rambling a bit but it's still all very true. Trump went on in his speech with his usual carrot and stick approach. “Certain places in Europe are not even recognizable, frankly, anymore, they're not recognizable, and I love Europe, and I want to see Europe do good, but its not heading in the right direction.”  He mentioned his Scottish and German heritage and said the people of the United States care deeply about Europe. He used part of his time to tout what he called restoring the American dream. He mentioned his Executive Order to prevent Wall Street Corporations from buying single family homes thus driving up the cost of rent and making owning a home much more expensive. “Families live in homes, not corporations.” Well, amen to that quote Mr. President, that is exactly right. My approval of that action and the quote is not very libertarian but then I am not a libertarian. The US is not going to subsidize the whole world he told the assembled Davos men and women. Global tariffs were implemented to address the large trade deficits the US was experiencing adding that many countries were taking advantage of the United States. He went on to brag about the economic changes and success that he believes the US is experiencing. So, my conclusion is that he went to Davos to conclude a Greenland deal and to sign the Board of Peace agreement but mostly to explain himself to these people. Wars still rage in Ukraine, Gaza, and Iran. The one in Iran seems to be heating up again with the Ayatollah publicly admitting to over 5000 protesters killed. Many reporters from inside Iran report more than 10,000. The Ayatollah has taken a very hard line calling the uprising sedition and blaming the United States and Israel for it and threatening full scale war. Trump has ordered his military leaders to give him strike options that could be done so something is most likely coming. US strategic bombers have been seen over the Persian Gulf region. I said I would say a few words about Minneapolis so here they are. That city seems to be the tip of the iceberg that is the massive fraud being committed against the US government but mainly against the working, taxpaying Americans. If you work and a portion of your labor and money you need to feed your family is taken from you by the IRS apparently a good deal of that is used to feed the terrorists in Somalia and to line the pockets of politicians across America. The politicians look the other way and run interference for the fraudsters and they are then rewarded with millions of fraudulently acquired dollars. It seems that California, Illinois, Massachusetts, and others may even be bigger than Minnesota. You are certainly aware that ICE is in Minnesota trying to round up, arrest and deport illegal criminals but the politicians who have been receiving millions in bribes from the illegals have been protecting them and attacking ICE agents. I suppose they believe that if they scream loud enough we the people will join the criminals, but then who will pay the taxes. This disorder went so far as to involve an attack or at least a forced disruption of Sunday Services at a Baptist church called Cities Church in St. Paul. Yes former news reporter Don Lemon led the mob into the church and disrupted people who were worshiping God on a Sunday morning. Lemon gave a lot of sanctimonious words about how protest is protected by the 1st amendment. He is really attacking Christianity and trying to eliminate the right of Christians to worship freely which is sacrosanct in the 1st amendment. It seems that in Minnesota they really love and value sanctuary except when it involves places that actually are sanctuaries. Contrast my city of Memphis with Minneapolis and notice the difference. Memphis has now had two good mayors in a row and the difference is astounding. The mayor didn't want federal authority here but he said if it's coming let's cooperate and use it to benefit the city. The guard came to help with the street patrols so the MPD could do police work. ICE was here arresting illegal criminals as they found them. Two statistics illustrate the whole thing and the difference. Car left down 70% and murders down 44% and people can walk their own streets at least better than before criminals were allowed to take over our cities. Finally, folks, wither you hate Donald Trump or love him pray for peace. Our children will appreciate it. At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

The effects of volatile international markets are currently being felt in the bank accounts of UK dairy farmers. Milk prices paid by processors started tumbling in the autumn and there've been further drops this month. Dairy Analyst Chris Walkland discusses the impact of President Trump's trade policy on milk production in the US, which has coincided with a boom in UK and European milk output...leading to a bust. We also consider whether further US trade tariffs as leverage over Greenland could further destabilise dairy trade.We meet a Welsh farmer adding Sunflowers to the cattle feed crops grown on his farm, to cut his feed bill in volatile times. The European Parliament has voted to refer a deal with the South American trade bloc Mercosur to the European Court of Justice, in a move which could see a two year delay in the agreement coming into operation, or even derail it altogether. The European Commission signed the deal with Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay on Saturday. But yesterday MEPs decided its legality needs to be tested. If a water company pollutes rivers or releases sewage illegally, it can be taken to court and fined. The government has just announced that it's reinvesting £29 million pounds from these fines into more than 100 projects to improve 450km of rivers, restore 650 acres of natural habitats and plant 100,000 new trees. The money collected from precious water company fines between April 2022 and 23 was put into a Water Restoration Fund and it's already being spent on local projects. We visit one, on the River Witham in Lincolnshire.Presenter: Caz Graham Producer: Sarah Swadling

Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy slams Europe's ‘lost' leaders during his address at the WEF in Davos, calling for action, not words in response to Russia's invasion of his country. Nineteen nations sign up to President Trump's Board of Peace despite a lack of commitment from key European nations. The leaders of Paraguay and Kosovo tell CNBC that sceptical nations will eventually come around to the initiative. Crude prices bounce back following President Trump's claims he would renew attacks on Tehran should it attempt to revive its nuclear programme. Trump also moves to sue JP Morgan and its CEO Jamie Dimon for $5bn accusing the lender of allegedly debanking his accounts for political motives.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If those dependencies are severed, if each country has the ability to feed, produce and innovate independently, then the entire dependency model around globalism collapses. Within the globalism model that was historically created there was a group of people, western nations, banks, finance and various government leaders, who controlled the organization and rules of the trade dependencies.  The action being taken for self-sufficiency, in combination with the approach promoted by President Trump that each nation state should generate their own needs, then the rules-based order that has existed for global trade will collapse. If nations are no longer dependent, they become sovereign – able to exist without the need for support from other nations and systems. If nations are indeed sovereign, then globalism is no longer needed and a threat of the unknown rises. How will nations engage with each other if there is no governing body of western elites to make the rules for engagement?  The need for control is a reaction to fear, and it is the fear of self-reliance that permeates the elitist class within the control structures.   If each nation of the world is operating according to its individual best interests, the position of Donald Trump, then what happens to the governing elite who set up the system of interdependencies. This is the core of their fear. If each nation can suddenly grow tea, what happens to the East India Tea Company.  Who then sets the price for the tea, and worse still an entire distribution system (ships, ports, exchanges, banks, etc.) becomes functionally obsolescent.

Conservative journalist Kaitlin Bennett revealed this week that she was charged with a federal crime and fined by the National Park Service in St. Augustine for the so-called offense of asking Democrats questions on public property. According to Bennett, federal agents targeted her while she was conducting on-the-street interviews, a form of journalism protected by the First Amendment. Despite being on public land, Bennett says she was cited and punished simply for engaging in political speech that the Left finds inconvenient. Bennett addressed the incident directly in a post on X, writing: https://twitter.com/KaitMarieox/status/2014174254799958148?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2014174254799958148%7Ctwgr%5Ef4a6650cd0c60d38edfea018c5665c2cc2fe5199%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Ftwo-tier-justice-conservative-journalist-kaitlin-bennett-charged%2F When asked by another local journalist exactly what “lawful order” Bennett had disobeyed, the ranger reportedly could not provide a straight answer.

The topic of conversation had been Trump's interest in Greenland and the Nobel Peace Prize, but Kasky threw in a jab at Trump with an allusion to the president's relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — an allusion Kasky's now trying to walk back. “I would love it if he was more transparent about the human sex trafficking network that he was a part of, but you can't win 'em all,” he blurted out. https://twitter.com/overton_news/status/2013455047288377517?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2013455047288377517%7Ctwgr%5E20edbbd712c7076d1aafdac2d1e39d7eb8307263%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fcnn-panelist-issues-retraction-apology-going-far-air%2F   Berman asked Jennings a follow-up question about Greenland, but instead of addressing that, Jennings circled back to Kasky's remark. “You're gonna let that sit?” Jennings asked Berman. “Are we going to claim here on CNN that the president is part of a global sex trafficking ring or …?” After assuring Jennings that he would do the fact-checking, Berman asked Kasky to repeat what he'd said about the global sex-trafficking ring. “That Donald Trump was … probably … very involved with it,” the arrogant young man replied, with perhaps a touch less confidence. To Berman's credit, and the CNN legal team's, he immediately said, “Donald Trump has never been charged with any crimes in relation to Jeffrey Epstein.” https://twitter.com/camkasky/status/2013760245298864477?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2013760245298864477%7Ctwgr%5E20edbbd712c7076d1aafdac2d1e39d7eb8307263%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fcnn-panelist-issues-retraction-apology-going-far-air%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2014189561002291385?s=20 DOGE Geopolitical https://twitter.com/brentdsadler/status/2014311942119137584?s=20  important as these agreements cover the entirety of the Chagos group of islands/features. Critical as future third party presence in those areas proximate Diego Garcia could in practical terms render those U.S. military facilities operationally impractical (ie useless). The current deal under consideration in the UK parliament in a rushed vote as soon as 2 February is ill advised. And it likely would break the decades long understanding with the U.S. government.

Negotiated for over 25 years, it aims to create one of the world’s largest free trade zones, covering more than 700 million people and reducing tariffs on goods like cars, machinery, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural products.  It includes commitments on sustainability, labor rights, and environmental protections, but critics argue these are insufficient to address issues like Amazon deforestation and unfair competition for European farmers. The agreement was politically finalized in 2019 but faced delays due to environmental concerns and opposition from countries like France and Austria. It was formally signed on January 17, 2026, after EU member states (with a qualified majority, despite opposition from five countries including France) greenlit it on January 9.  The Stupidity of Davos Explained Using an Example of Their Own Creation China is manufacturing a product to create a carbon credit certificate in response to the demand for carbon credits from all the world auto-makers.  Any nation that has a penalty or fine attached to their climate goals is a customer. Those are nations with fines or quotas associated with the production of gasoline powered engines if the auto company doesn't hit the legislated target for sales of electric vehicles. In essence, EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car companies buy Chinese car company carbon credits, to avoid the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN fines.  The Chinese then use the carbon credit revenue to subsidize even lower priced Chinese EVs to the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car markets, thereby undercutting the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car companies that also produce EVs. China brilliantly exploits the ridiculous pontificating climate scam and has an interest in perpetuating -even emphasizing- the need for the EU/AU/RU/ASEAN countries to keep pushing their climate agenda.  China even goes so far as to fund alarmism research about climate change because they are making money selling carbon credit certificates on the back end of the scam to the western fear mongers.  This is friggin' brilliant.   The climate change alarmists are helping China's economy by pushing ever escalating fear of climate change.  You just cannot make this stuff up. What does the outcome look like? Well, in this example we see hundreds of thousands of unsold BYDs piling up in countries that emphasize climate regulations with no restrictions on the import of EVs (which most don't even manufacture), which is almost every country.  Big Panda doesn't care about the car itself; they care about generating the carbon credit certificate to sell in the various carbon exchanges. Put this context to the recent announcement by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about his new trade deal with China to accept 49,000 EVs this year. Prime Minister Carney bragged about getting the Chinese to agree to only super low prices for the Canadian market.  Mark Carney was very proud of his accomplishment to get much lower priced vehicles for Canadian EV purchasers.   No doubt Big Panda left the room laughing as soon as Carney made his grand announcement. 1. China sells EV's in Canada, creating credits available on the carbon exchange scheme. Europe et al will purchase the carbon credits because Bussels has fines against EU car companies. 2. With a foothold already established in Europe, China will then take the money generated by the carbon credit purchases and lower the prices of the Chinese EV cars sold in Canada. It's gets funnier. 3. Carney bragged about forcing China to only sell low price EV's as part of the trade agreement. The low price of the EV's in Canada will be subsidized by Europe. China doesn't pay or lose a dime. But wait…. 4. Carney can't do anything about the scheme he has just enmeshed Canada into, because Canada has a Carbon Credit exchange in law.

La primera parte del programa está dedicada a comentar la actualidad. Nos centraremos en el acuerdo comercial entre la Unión Europea y el bloque sudamericano Mercosur, formado por Argentina, Brasil, Paraguay y Uruguay. Después, analizaremos los esfuerzos de Europa para mantenerse unida frente al rápido cambio del orden mundial. Nuestra siguiente noticia tratará sobre las tasas globales de fertilidad, que están cayendo más rápido de lo que los expertos habían previsto. Un descenso así plantea la posibilidad de una reducción de la población mundial en un futuro próximo. Y, por último, hablaremos del aumento en los precios de entrada al Museo del Louvre de París para la mayoría de los visitantes no europeos. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema gramatical de la semana, The Present Perfect Subjunctive. En esta conversación hablaremos de la entrada de España en la Unión Europea. Desde el 1 de enero de 1985, somos europeos. Esta etapa está llena de éxitos, pero también de quejas. El sector primario español, tanto el agrícola como el pesquero, se siente muy perjudicado. Y en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española: Irse por las ramas. La emplearemos para hablar de la literatura barroca. Una de sus características fundamentales es la complejidad de sus recursos formales. En contraposición, la compararemos con la literatura del realismo, que muestra la realidad de forma clara. Pero, ¿es una mejor que la otra? ¡Cada cual elige!   La UE firma un pacto económico con Mercosur que desata la reacción de los euroescépticos Europa lucha por mantenerse unida ante el rápido cambio del orden mundial Los modelos predicen que la humanidad podría reducirse antes de lo previsto El Louvre apunta a los turistas extranjeros con un gran aumento del precio de la entrada Entrada de España en la Comunidad Económica Europea Literatura española del Barroco

Wie immer ist der erste Teil unseres Programms aktuellen Ereignissen gewidmet. Wir beginnen mit dem Freihandelsabkommen zwischen der EU und dem südamerikanischen Staatenbund Mercosur, der aus Argentinien, Brasilien, Paraguay und Uruguay besteht. Danach sprechen wir über die Bemühungen der EU, angesichts der sich rasant verändernden Weltordnung geeint zu bleiben. In unserem Wissenschaftsteil diskutieren wir heute über die weltweiten Geburtenraten, die schneller sinken als von Experten vorhergesagt. Ein solcher Rückgang lässt für die nahe Zukunft eine Schrumpfung der Weltbevölkerung erwarten. Und zum Schluss sprechen wir über die Erhöhung der Eintrittspreise des Louvre in Paris für die meisten nicht-europäischen Besucher. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf Verbs with Prepositions – (Part 3). Es geht um den Börsencrash, oder den sogenannten „Schwarzen Freitag", am 25. Oktober 1929. Er führte zu einer Massenarbeitslosigkeit in Deutschland und ließ die politische Stimmung kippen – mit verheerenden Folgen. Unsere Redewendung diese Woche ist Mit jemandem durch dick und dünn gehen. Wir werfen einen tieferen Blick auf den demografischen Wandel in Deutschland. Das Bild, das sich ergibt, ist klar: Die Ehe befindet sich im Rückzug.   EU und Mercosur-Staaten unterzeichnen umstrittenes Handelsabkommen Europa unter Druck: Zusammenhalt in einer neuen Weltordnung Modelle prognostizieren schnelleres Schrumpfen der Weltbevölkerung als erwartet Der Louvre wird teurer für ausländische Touristen Der Börsencrash von 1929 in Deutschland Die Ehe im Rückzug

Amid a global context of eroding multilateralism and rising US trade wars, Mercosur and the European Union are trying to create a shared market for more than 700 million people. The proposed free trade zone for goods and services encompasses 27 European countries, plus Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay on the other side of the Atlantic, with Bolivia in the process of joining as well. Combined, the economies involved in the deal make up for approximately 20% of global GDP.The deal was finally signed on January 17, after more than 26 years of back-and-forth negotiations. But yet again, European farming countries are doing whatever they can to stall its implementation. On January 21, European lawmakers backed a resolution to seek an opinion from the EU's Court of Justice on whether the free-trade deal complies with existing EU treaties.That could stall the deal by up to two years — although the agreement's backers, such as Germany, are trying to go ahead and implement it on a provisional basis until the court says its piece. Send us your feedbackSupport the show

Si apre la seconda giornata del World Economic Forum di Davos, che riunisce circa 3.000 partecipanti da 130 Paesi, tra cui 65 capi di Stato e di governo e 850 leader dell'economia globale. Donald Trump è intervenuto per la prima volta dopo sei anni, con un discorso segnato da toni duri verso l'Europa. Sulla Groenlandia ha escluso l'uso della forza, chiedendo però l'avvio immediato di negoziati e avvertendo che "si ricorderà" di chi si opporrà. Ha poi affrontato i rapporti transatlantici, rilanciando provocazioni verso la Francia, annunciando un incontro con il presidente ucraino Zelensky e difendendo l'uso dei dazi come strumenti punitivi. Sulla NATO ha ribadito l'adesione degli Stati Uniti, esprimendo però dubbi sulla reciprocità dell'impegno europeo. Trump è arrivato con una delegazione particolarmente ampia, che include il segretario di Stato Marco Rubio, il segretario al Tesoro Scott Bessent, il responsabile del Commercio Howard Lutnick e l'inviato speciale Steve Witkoff: secondo il presidente del WEF Børge Brende, la più consistente degli ultimi anni.Il Forum si svolge in un clima profondamente diverso rispetto al passato: i temi "woke", come diversità e inclusione, sono stati di fatto marginalizzati, riflettendo una crescente polarizzazione globale e la competizione tra grandi potenze, riassunta dal tema ufficiale A Spirit of Dialogue. È inoltre il primo Davos senza Klaus Schwab alla guida: dopo le sue dimissioni, la governance è passata a una leadership ad interim con Larry Fink e André Hoffmann, mentre Brende ricopre il ruolo di presidente e amministratore delegato.Nessun aggiornamento sulla presenza della premier Giorgia Meloni, che sta valutando l'invito di Trump a entrare nel Board of Peace per Gaza; tra le ipotesi, una partecipazione al summit senza firmare immediatamente la carta istitutiva. Approfondiamo il tutto con: Gianluca Di Donfrancesco, Il Sole 24 Ore e con Marco Magnani, Professore di International Economics, LUISS Guido Carli.Passa il blitz al PE contro il Mercosur, l'accordo va alla Corte UEIl Parlamento europeo ha deciso di chiedere alla Corte di Giustizia dell'Unione europea un parere giuridico sull'accordo di partenariato tra UE e Mercosur, firmato dopo oltre 25 anni di negoziati. La mozione è stata approvata con una maggioranza risicatissima e sostenuta da sinistra, verdi e liberali. Il ricorso alla Corte non blocca l'applicazione provvisoria dell'accordo, già decisa dal Consiglio, che scatterà però solo dopo la ratifica da parte di almeno uno dei quattro Paesi coinvolti: Brasile, Argentina, Paraguay e Uruguay.La richiesta di parere giuridico viene letta da molti come un tentativo politico di indebolire l'intesa, che punta a rafforzare l'influenza economica europea in Sud America in un contesto di crescenti tensioni globali. Mentre il mondo industriale guarda con favore alle nuove opportunità commerciali, il settore agricolo europeo esprime forti preoccupazioni. Una seconda mozione, presentata dai partiti di destra con lo stesso obiettivo, è stata invece bocciata. La decisione del Parlamento rinvia di fatto il voto di ratifica, inizialmente previsto tra febbraio e aprile. Esponenti della sinistra e dei verdi hanno rivendicato il risultato come una vittoria politica e una riaffermazione del ruolo dello Stato di diritto a livello europeo. Ne discutiamo con Adriana Cerretelli, editorialista Il Sole 24 Ore - Bruxelles.

Whether you’re a seasoned team member or preparing for your first trip, short-term mission trips have the potential to make a meaningful global impact. In this conversation, we’ll highlight five key principles that help ensure our efforts contribute to lasting, sustainable change in the communities we serve.

After 25 years of negotiations, the European Union has signed the Mercosur trade deal. Farmers across Europe have been out on the streets protesting against it and farming unions in the UK warn that it could threaten the future of family farms. The free trade deal between the EU and Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay gives European businesses access to a market of more than 250 million people and is seen as a way of offsetting business lost because of US tariffs. However it will also open the door to tariff-free imports of food, particularly beef, which European farmers argue is not produced to the same standards. The deal was not approved by all EU countries, France and Ireland were among those voting against, and it will have to be ratified by the European Parliament. All week we're focusing on what farm animals are eating this winter, from grains to soy and silage: it is a mixture of forage, things grown on the farm like hay or silage; and feed that's bought in from the UK or abroad. A combination of geopolitical events, a challenging UK harvest, and an exceptionally dry summer in some areas has put pressure on the supplies of feed. The Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC) says the UK needs a national protein strategy to safeguard feed security because that impacts food securityPresenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée en public à Sciences Po Paris le 16 janvier 2026.Avec cette semaine :Antoine Foucher, consultant, spécialiste des questions sociales, auteur de Sortir du travail qui ne paie plus.Nicole Gnesotto, vice-présidente de l'Institut Jacques Delors.Marc-Olivier Padis, directeur des études de la fondation Terra Nova.Michaela Wiegel, correspondante à Paris de la Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.DE QUOI LE MERCOSUR EST-IL DEVENU LE SYMBOLE ?Après plus de vingt-six ans de négociations, l'accord de libre-échange entre l'Union européenne et quatre pays du Mercosur (Argentine, Brésil, Paraguay, Uruguay) a été approuvé à Bruxelles par les États membres de l'UE à la majorité qualifiée, le 9 janvier. La France s'y est opposée, avec la Pologne, la Hongrie, l'Autriche et l'Irlande. La présidente de la Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, a paraphé samedi le traité au Paraguay. L'accord Mercosur, n'est pas un accord agricole mais un accord global où l'UE a beaucoup à gagner dans le secteur des biens industriels et des services actuellement très protégé, tandis que certains pays craignent la concurrence dans les domaines agricoles les plus sensibles de l'UE : le bœuf, la volaille et le sucre.Le débat franco-français sur le Mercosur reflète des intérêts divergents et s'inscrit dans une crise plus large de l'agriculture française. Parmi les pro-Mercosur la filière des vins et des spiritueux, l'un des piliers de la puissance française agricole à l'export avec 15,6 milliards d'euros expédiés en 2024. Avec eux, les producteurs et industriels du lait, qui trouvent des avantages à l'accord. En tête des adversaires, les éleveurs de bovins, de volaille et les betteraviers. Première puissance agricole de l'UE, la France est enlisée dans une « colère des agriculteurs » qui revient par vagues incessantes. Pourtant, l'International Trade Center indique qu'« en 2024, la France a exporté 7 milliards d'euros de marchandises vers les pays du Mercosur, soit environ 1,2% des exportations totales, et a importé un peu plus de 3 milliards d'euros de marchandises, soit environ 0,5% des importations totales. » Toutefois, si l'impact macroéconomique de ce traité avec le Mercosur ne devrait pas peser très fort, il est éminemment symbolique.Pour Jean-Luc Demarty, ancien Directeur général du Commerce extérieur de la Commission européenne, « en réalité le Mercosur est devenu le bouc émissaire des problèmes de compétitivité de l'agriculture française, qui se jouent essentiellement à l'intérieur de l'UE. Entre 2010 et 2024 », constate-t-il, « le revenu agricole ne progresse que de 15% en France contre 77% en moyenne européenne, 170% en Italie, 86% en Pologne et 79% en Espagne. » Selon lui, les chiffres montrent sans ambigüité que « cette situation est imputable à la politique agricole et économique nationale, du Grenelle de l'environnement de Nicolas Sarkozy à l'agroécologie de François Hollande poursuivie souvent en pire par Emmanuel Macron ». Excès de normes, surtransposition de normes européennes souvent déjà excessives, bureaucratie, impossibilité de construire ou d'agrandir des bâtiments d'élevage, fiscalité plus élevée, priorité aux exploitations trop petites et limitation de leur taille, coût du travail en particulier pour les fruits et l'abattage, sont en cause.Dans un monde où Donald Trump se retire de 66 organisations internationales et déclenche une guerre commerciale avec le reste du globe, l'alliance euro-sud-américaine prend une importance géopolitique cruciale.QUI AUX CÔTÉS DE L'IRAN ? La contestation, déclenchée le 28 décembre par les commerçants du grand bazar de Téhéran en raison de la chute vertigineuse du rial, qui a perdu en un an plus de la moitié de sa valeur face au dollar, s'est rapidement étendue à tout le pays et a pris une tournure politique, avec des appels à la chute de la République islamique. L'économie iranienne est minée par les sanctions internationales, ainsi que par des années de mauvaise gouvernance et de corruption endémique. Le dossier nucléaire est dans l'impasse : les négociations sont à l'arrêt depuis plusieurs mois, privant Téhéran de toute perspective de levée des sanctions. Après des menaces répétées de Donald Trump d'intervenir militairement si la répression du mouvement de contestation en Iran se poursuivait – une répression qui aurait fait des centaines voire des milliers de morts selon les ONG -, le régime iranien a riposté lundi en faisant descendre dans les rues des milliers de ses partisans dans la capitale. Selon l'analyste iranien Hamzeh Safavi, une partie des élites du pays réfléchit aux moyens de réorienter le pouvoir vers une ligne plus modérée.Le président américain a promis son aide aux manifestants, mais Washington hésite sur les moyens et l'objectif même d'une intervention. Lundi, la Maison Blanche avait affirmé que la possibilité de frappes aériennes pour mettre fin à la répression était toujours sur la table, mais que la diplomatie demeurait « la première option ». Mardi, le président américain a annoncé le gel de tout contact bilatéral et décrété la mise en place de taxes douanières punitives de 25% contre tout pays commerçant avec l'Iran. Une mesure susceptible de frapper notamment la Chine, principal partenaire commercial de Téhéran. La Chine défendra « résolument » ses intérêts, a répondu Pékin.En Israël, le 5 janvier, la presse a annoncé la validation, par le premier ministre, Benyamin Nétanyahou, et son cabinet de sécurité, d'une opération contre l'Iran baptisée « Iron Strike ». Toutefois, l'État hébreu cherche à éviter toute déclaration qui pourrait offrir au régime des mollahs l'ennemi extérieur dont il a besoin pour se ressouder.L'Union européenne est pour l'instant restée dans le registre de la condamnation évoquant cependant de possibles « nouvelles sanctions » contre Téhéran. Emmanuel Macron, l'Allemand Friedrich Merz et le Britannique Keir Starmer ont appelé les dirigeants iraniens à la « retenue ». Le chancelier est allé un peu plus loin lundi en « condamnant fermement la violence » du régime.Allié de Téhéran, Moscou poursuit sa coopération, notamment militaire, avec Téhéran, mais veille à ne pas sacrifier son rapprochement avec l'Amérique de Donald Trump sur l'autel d'un soutien plus poussé à la République islamique aux abois. En juin dernier déjà, pendant la « guerre des Douze-Jours » entre Israël et l'Iran, Téhéran avait appelé à la rescousse Moscou, qui s'était contenté de bonnes paroles. Cette retenue semble toujours à l'œuvre, côté russe.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Are you mining Bitcoin to secure the money of the future? Or are you just a "Fiat Hasher" using the network to stack more dying dollars? Kent Halliburton (@khalliburton) joins me to argue that most of the industry has the wrong incentives. We compare the early days of El Salvador surf tourism, when walking to the beach meant risking your life, to the current state of the network. Just as surfers ventured into dangerous territory for the perfect wave, true Bitcoiners are pushing boundaries to build an escape raft from the fiat system that will last for generations.We discuss the concept of Bitcoin miners acting as a pioneer species in the global energy market. Kent explains how sovereign mining operations venture into remote regions like Ethiopia and Paraguay to monetize stranded energy resources that no one else can reach. This process does far more than generate revenue for developing nations. It helps stabilize the local electrical grid and paves the way for vital infrastructure development in places the central banks and global planners have largely ignored.For many plebs, the biggest barrier to hashing has always been the logistics of the hardware. We break down how hosted mining models allow you to own a dedicated ASIC miner without forcing you to manage the intense heat and noise at home. This is about far more than convenience or ROI. It is about aligning incentives so that you can acquire non-KYC "Wild Sats" at the cost of production rather than paying the inflated spot price on a KYC exchange.We also touch on the human side of hyperbitcoinization in places like the Peruvian Amazon. Kent shares his experience living near the circular economy projects that are proving Bitcoin works as a medium of exchange today. We talk about the importance of using Bitcoin as a tool for sovereignty and how "Energy Cost Averaging" allows you to opt out of the fiat ponzi completely while supporting the communities that need sound money the most.Finally, we tackle the critical threat facing the network regarding security and censorship resistance. With so much hash rate concentrated in just a few massive mining pools, the danger of state capture is higher than many admit. Kent uses the "Milan Cathedral" analogy to challenge us to lower our time preference. We need to stop thinking about quarterly profits and start building for a future we might not live to see.

Heute mit Kommentaren zum Iran, dem Grönland-Konflikt und der Weitergabe der Friedensnobelpreis-Medaille. Zuerst geht es aber um das Mercosur-Freihandelsabkommen, das heute in Paraguay unterzeichnet wird. www.deutschlandfunk.de, Internationale Presseschau

El acuerdo de libre comercio entre Mercosur y la Unión Europea (UE) se firmará este sábado en Paraguay después de 26 años de negociaciones. El pacto aún genera el rechazo de muchos agricultores en diferentes países europeos, entre ellos España, donde este mismo viernes se han registrado tractoradas en distintos puntos de Aragón y del resto de España.Hoy valoramos las consecuencias de este acuerdo para sectores como el cereal; la carne; los productos ecológicos; la miel; el vino y el aceite.Repasamos también las movilizaciones que hay convocadas para la semana que viene y que anunciaban ayer las organizaciones agrarias aragonesas y, tras conocer el último informe del USDA que revisa al alza en 19,1 millones/tn sus previsiones de producción mundial de cereales queremos conocer si la firma del Mercosur ha podido tener algún tipo de influencia.En ‘Agua y regadíos en Aragón' haremos un resumen de las reuniones del Consejo del Agua de la demarcación del Ebro y del Comité de Autoridades Competentes celebradas el pasado jueves y nos acercaremos hasta la Comunidad de Regantes de Bardenas para saber cuál es el estado de reserva en sus embalses.La Indicación Geográfica Protegida (IGP) Ternasco de Aragón organiza una nueva edición de su “Mes del Ternasco asado”. Antes de marcharnos, hablamos de ternasco.

La actualidad europea y española presenta diversos frentes. El acuerdo Unión Europea-Mercosur, cuya firma se produce en Paraguay, divide opiniones; el gobierno español lo considera una oportunidad estratégica comercial para acceder a mercados y materias primas, mientras el sector agrario europeo y español, que protesta en las calles, teme una competencia desleal por los menores costes de producción y la menor exigencia de controles en Sudamérica, poniendo en riesgo su futuro. Sin embargo, industrias como la automovilística y el vino español prevén beneficios significativos gracias a la eliminación de aranceles. En la misma línea, Argentina ve en este acuerdo el pacto de libre comercio más amplio del siglo XXI, sujeto a normas y controles. En España, el gobierno transfiere al País Vasco competencias clave como la gestión de las prestaciones por desempleo, aunque existen peticiones de traspaso adicionales, como los aeropuertos, a las que Aena se opone. La vivienda sigue siendo la ...

El próximo miércoles 21 de enero es la fecha elegida por UAGA COAG; Asaja, UPA Aragón y Araga para manifestarse en Zaragoza y en otros puntos de Aragón para protestar contra la firma del acuerdo comercial con el Mercosur que tendrá lugar mañana en Paraguay.Ese mismo día, Aragón es Ganadería y Agricultura (AEGA), ha convocado un corte de 48 horas en la AP-2 para mostrar su malestar ante la aprobación del pacto. La protesta comenzará a las 10.00 del día 21 en el tramo de autopista a la altura de la localidad zaragozana de Villafranca de Ebro.José Manuel Roche, secretario general de UPA Aragón, y Francisco Latorre, presidente de AEGA, nos lo han explicado hoy en 'De puertas al campo'.La segunda fase de vacunación contra la dermatosis nodular contagiosa ha comenzado este viernes en las comarcas de Sobrarbe, el Alto Gállego y la Jacetania, todas ellas zonas limítrofes con Francia. En total se van a inocular 30.000 dosis en el ganado bovino, fundamentalmente de explotaciones de vacas nodrizas. 

Mercosur is a bad deal.The European Commission has backed a free trade agreement with Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. The European Parliament is set to decide on the future of the Mercosur Agreement. It has taken twenty-five years to get to this point. The European Commission has decided to support this proposition and the smart money says the Parliament will follow suit. But perhaps not. It's not over until it's over. There will be a legal challenge to the deal, including Sinn Féin's MEPs, and a vote in the European Parliament. Sinn Féin is also bringing forward a Dáil motion calling on the government to support the legal action and mandating all MEPs to vote against the deal. Nollaig na mBanSome of the traditions that surround Christmas and the New Year celebrations have changed over recent years. For example, when I was growing up Christmas decorations didn't start appearing in homes until a fortnight or so before the 25th December. Now, Halloween is barely over before Christmas decorations start appearing. Previously also, the tree, crib, and the rest all stayed in place until 6 January – the Feast of the Epiphany, the date on which it is said that the three wise men visited the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. This year decorations were mostly down from the start of the new year. And already Easter eggs are in the shops. However, one celebration that has taken on a new lease of life is Nollaig na mBan - Women's Christmas. It is celebrated on 6 January. It used to be confined to rural areas but that is changing.  Nollaig na mBan is the day when the role of women, who generally did  all the work for Christmas, was celebrated. It was the day when women get together with other women and enjoy a brief few hours of celebration on their own. Progress on Casement ParkLast week the draft budget for the Executive, announced by Finance Minister John O'Dowd, included an allocation of an additional £40 million toward the rebuilding of the new Casement Stadium.Sadly, despite the 1998 Good Friday Agreement and its principles of equality and parity of esteem, the decades since then have produced many examples of political unionism continuing to resist investment and funding allocation for nationalist areas. Casement Park is a case in point.Last week's announcement is a positive and welcome development.Irish Unity Must be Priority for EU PresidencyOn 1st July the Irish government will assume the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. This will be its eighth time holding this key administrative and political role within the EU and the first time since Brexit. The agenda for this Presidency is enormous and will affect all of our lives. It will include new legislation as well as significant negotiations around all of the major national and international issues affecting the world at this time – the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, the war in Ukraine, Venezuela, threatened US Foreign Policy adventures toward Greenland, Cuba, Colombia, Nigeria and Iran, famine in Africa, climate change and migration.An Taoiseach Micheál Martin has defined the state's Presidency of the EU as “a Presidency defined by action.”All sounds impressive. But so far no one in the Irish government has said anything about using this unique opportunity to raise the issue of Irish Unity. Thus far, Micheál Martin's approach to Irish Unity can best be described as “a leadership defined by inaction.”

Après un quart de siècle de négociations, une étape décisive va être franchie, ce samedi 17 janvier : la présidente de la Commission européenne, Ursula von der Leyen, est attendue au Paraguay pour signer un accord de libre-échange avec les pays du Mercosur. Accord finalement validé par une majorité des 27 malgré l'opposition, notamment, de la France et de ses agriculteurs. Craignant la concurrence sud-américaine, des dizaines de tracteurs se sont regroupés cette semaine, à Paris, pour dénoncer un traité très critiqué depuis de nombreuses années. Alors est-ce que sa signature signifie que l'Europe a dit adieu à la souveraineté agricole ? Pour en débattre : - Elvire Fabry, directrice du programme « Commerce et sécurité » à l'Institut Jacques Delors  - Jean-Luc Demarty, ancien directeur général du Commerce extérieur (2011-2019), ancien directeur général de l'Agriculture (2005-2010) à la Commission européenne - Benoît Biteau, paysan bio, agronome, député écologiste et social de la Charente-Maritime.

C dans l'air l'invité du 13 janvier 2026 avec Thierry Breton, ancien commissaire européen au Marché intérieur, et ancien ministre de l'Économie, des Finances, et de l'Industrie.Plus de 350 tracteurs ont pris position mardi aux abords de l'Assemblée nationale, à Paris, les agriculteurs en colère assurant qu'ils ne bougeraient pas tant que leurs demandes n'auraient pas été "entendues" par le gouvernement. Depuis début décembre, les manifestations d'agriculteurs se multiplient et les annonces du gouvernement vendredi après des défilés de tracteurs de la Coordination rurale puis de la Confédération paysanne dans la capitale n'ont pas suffi à calmer la colère. Ravivée par la gestion de la dermatose bovine dans le Sud-Ouest, la contestation est nourrie par la signature prévue samedi de l'accord de libre-échange UE-Mercosur et plus largement par un ras-le-bol général d'une profession confrontée directement aux aléas climatiques et économiques. À quelques jours de la signature de l'accord UE-Mercosur, samedi au Paraguay, les agriculteurs ont aussi multiplié leurs opérations ailleurs en France.Thierry Breton, ancien commissaire européen au Marché intérieur, est notre invité. Il réagira aux conséquences de la signature de l'accord avec le Mercosur, alors même qu'Emmanuel Macron s'y est opposé. Il reviendra également sur les sanctions américaines qui le visent. Il est comme quatre autres personnalités européennes, interdit de territoire américain pour s'être engagé en faveur d'une régulation plus stricte du secteur technologique.

La Unión Europea se dispone a firmar en Paraguay el acuerdo de libre comercio con el Mercosur, en un contexto de fuerte rechazo en Francia, donde grandes cadenas de supermercados anunciaron un boicot a productos sudamericanos y los ganaderos denuncian una competencia desleal. Dos representantes del sector ganadero argentino refutan esas críticas y explican por qué defienden el acuerdo. En Francia, las grandes cadenas de supermercados han decidido boicotear la venta de productos sudamericanos. Mientras tanto, agricultores y ganaderos franceses siguen en las calles, sobre todo en los Campos Elíseos de París, denunciando una competencia desleal. Según ellos, la carne bovina procedente de Sudamérica no cumple con los mismos estándares sanitarios y ambientales a los que están sujetos los productores europeos. Fernando Herrera, presidente de la Asociación de Productores Exportadores Argentinos, defiende, sin embargo, la producción de carne argentina. "Si hay un país que produce carne de forma natural es Argentina. Yo invito a cualquier ganadero francés a recorrer nuestro país, que es muy extenso, para comprobar que los animales pasan la mayor parte de su vida al aire libre, caminando por los campos, comiendo pasto y tomando agua", sostiene Herrera. Incluso el proceso final de engorde, según él, está lejos de la idea que pueden hacerse en Francia, ya que se realiza en "feedlots, pero que no son estabulados ni confinados. En Argentina están prohibidas las sustancias reguladoras del crecimiento, como hormonas y anabólicos, así que podemos garantizar que es un 100 % sano", precisa. "¿Por qué no atacan la presión impositiva doméstica?"  Por eso, para él, los argumentos de los ganaderos franceses "no son una buena excusa para estar en contra del acuerdo Unión Europea-Mercosur" y sugiere otras razones, de carácter interno, que considera más legítimas. "Yo lo que entiendo es que los agricultores y los productores franceses sienten que tienen mucha presión impositiva por parte de su gobierno. Están en su derecho de que no les guste esa presión, pero no por eso tienen que atacar a la carne argentina. Insisto: no es cierto lo que están manifestando". Ignacio Kovarsky, presidente de la Confederación de Asociaciones Rurales de Buenos Aires y La Pampa, señala que, a pesar de la firma del acuerdo Unión Europea-Mercosur, aún falta camino por recorrer. "Todavía falta materializar este acuerdo. Esto es recién una primera firma de un acuerdo que sí llevó mucho tiempo concretar. Pero ahora hay que hacerlo realidad país por país. Cada una de las producciones locales está o con una cuota o con alguna salvaguarda de precios. De esta manera se puede garantizar a los países de Europa que esto no es una apertura al Mercosur sin ningún tipo de control. Hay toneladas con cuotas, hay precios, hay salvaguardas que, si se cumplen, los pueden dejar tranquilos. Ahora bien, la pregunta es: ¿cuánto vamos a aportar? Eso ya va a depender de cómo esté preparado cada uno de los países del Mercosur para hacerlo", subraya. Este acuerdo entre el Mercosur y la Unión Europea será histórico: representará la integración de más de 700 millones de personas, el 35 % del comercio global y más del 30 % del PIB mundial, lo que lo convertiría en el bloque comercial más importante del mundo.

Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay y Paraguay celebran la aprobación en el Consejo de la Unión Europea del Acuerdo Mercosur-UE, el cual crea la mayor zona de libre comercio del mundo eliminando aranceles a más del 90% del comercio bilateral. "Es un gran paso porque traerá progreso para las dos regiones y por lo que representa en el contexto internacional actual", dijo a RFI Nicolás Albertoni, excanciller de Uruguay y ex negociador del acuerdo. El lunes, la presidenta de la Comisión Europea, Ursula von der Leyen firmará en Paraguay el acuerdo comercial que vinculará al bloque con los cuatro países del Mercosur. Tras un cuarto de siglo de complicadas negociaciones, marcadas por diferencias políticas y comerciales que amenazaban con hacerlo naufragar, el Acuerdo de Mercosur-UE recibió la luz verde de Bruselas. Radio Francia Internacional entrevistó a Nicolás Albertoni, excanciller de Uruguay que estuvo al frente de la fase de conclusión del Acuerdo en diciembre de 2024. RFI: ¿Cuál es la dimensión de este acuerdo entre los dos bloques de lado y lado del Atlántico y que estuvo a punto de no ver la luz? Estamos hablando del acuerdo más grande del mundo que abarca 700 millones de personas. No hay otro acuerdo de esta magnitud en el mundo. Hay que destacar al mismo tiempo su "regionalidad". Porque si bien Europa ha negociado acuerdos importantes con otros países, todavía no lo había hecho con una región como es el Mercosur, la cual abarca aproximadamente el 80% en todos los datos del PIB o del comercio de la región. Al hablar del 90% de apertura, esto significa que se abren más mercados. También es verdad que Mercosur tiene menos experiencia negociadora y es solo un bloque de cuatro países mientras que del otro lado estamos hablando de 27 socios que tienen una apertura más transversal entre ellos. Sí se va a tener que generar una lógica de mayor competencia, que es una experiencia a la que no se había enfrentado en esta magnitud. En el corto plazo va a haber más apertura de alimentos hacia Europa y más apertura de una industria europea hacia Mercosur.  Creo que en el mediano plazo va a ser positivo. Y habrá que enfrentarse a la competencia, que no es negativa por sí misma, en todos los rubros de las economías de ambas partes”. Además, va a tener un impacto absolutamente transversal que es difícil medir solamente en términos comerciales. Este acuerdo incluye cooperación, inversiones, también valores políticos que unían a las dos regiones. RFI: Numerosos agricultores europeos, especialmente los de Francia y Polonia, son reacios a esta firma e intentaron impedirla. Para convencerlos, los gobiernos de la Unión Europea respaldaron establecer cláusulas de salvaguarda en favor de ellos que permitirán al bloque reaccionar rápidamente ante las perturbaciones del mercado que pueda causar justamente el aumento de importaciones agrícolas procedentes del Mercosur. ¿Cuáles eran los principales temores en el Mercosur? Sobre los hechos ocurrido sen las últimas semanas, creo que el temor más grande era que no avanzara el acuerdo. Y es cierto que todas estas salvaguardas no eran el escenario ideal, pero en estos casos hay que ver el bien mayor y el bien mayor es tener un acuerdo. Y, en estos tiempos que vive el mundo, más allá de las razones netamente comerciales, esta es una inmensa señal geoeconómica. Porque también podría ser a la inversa. Es decir que, si esto no avanzaba, sería una señal geopolítica muy negativa. Por eso yo creo que pasada la firma, que era el hito técnico importante para concretarse, la política europea tiene que dar ahora una señal al mundo diciendo: "Señores, estamos para negociar, para avanzar y para acercarnos a una región complementaria y emergente como es América Latina".

Sous le commandement de Donald Trump, l'opération « Absolute Resolve » (Détermination Absolue) au Venezuela a créé une onde de choc mondiale avec des conséquences économiques majeures, bien au-delà des questions pétrolières et énergétiques. Pour la Chine (partenaire historique de Caracas), les autres BRICS, les potentielles cibles américaines (Groenland, Canada, Cuba) et les investisseurs du monde entier, un océan d'incertitudes se profile. Éco d'ici Éco d'ailleurs donne la parole aux experts. Les invités de l'émission Christopher Dembik, macroéconomiste, conseiller en stratégie d'investissement chez Pictet Asset Management Alicia Garcia-Herrero, cheffe économiste pour la zone Asie-Pacifique de la Banque Natixis (basée à Hong-Kong) Philippe Sébille-Lopez, directeur du cabinet Géopolia, spécialiste des marchés pétroliers Margot François, chercheuse à l'Institut français de géopolitique et analyste chez Cassini, experte de l'économie cubaine Cléa Broadhurst, correspondante permanente de RFI à Pékin   Le pétrole vénézuélien : un eldorado complexe Des réserves impressionnantes mais problématiques Le Venezuela possède théoriquement 300 milliards de barils de réserves, principalement dans le fleuve Orénoque, ce qui le placerait au premier rang mondial. Cependant, ces chiffres sont contestés et peu vérifiables. Les défis du pétrole vénézuélien Huile extra-lourde : très visqueuse et très soufrée, nécessitant un traitement particulier Coûts élevés : investissements nécessaires entre 60 et 80 dollars par baril Infrastructure vétuste : années de sous-investissement sous sanctions Raffinage complexe : vendu avec une forte décote sur le marché Un intérêt stratégique pour les États-Unis L'outil de raffinage américain est équipé à 70% pour traiter du brut lourd. Le pétrole vénézuélien correspond parfaitement à ces installations, ce qui explique l'intérêt stratégique au-delà de la simple production. « Nous avons construit l'industrie pétrolière vénézuélienne grâce au talent, au dynamisme et aux compétences des Américains. Et le régime socialiste nous l'a volé en recourant à la force. » - Donald Trump La dimension géopolitique Avant l'intervention, 80% de la production vénézuélienne partait vers la Chine. La Russie, via Rosneft, était également très présente. Pour Washington, il s'agit autant de reprendre le contrôle que d'empêcher les concurrents d'y accéder. Impact sur la Chine : premier acheteur menacé Une relation économique majeure en péril La Chine avait prêté environ 60 milliards de dollars au régime vénézuélien, principalement sous Chavez, sous forme de prêts gagés sur des productions futures de brut. Les compagnies chinoises étaient devenues les principaux acheteurs du pétrole vénézuélien. Conséquences immédiates Le pétrole vénézuélien arrivant en Chine est déjà vendu avec des rabais et passe par des circuits logistiques compliqués. Si Washington bloque ou inspecte les cargaisons, les coûts augmenteront considérablement : assurances plus chères, délais plus longs, risques juridiques accrus. Les raffineurs indépendants chinois, appelés « teapots », qui vivent sur les marges, seront particulièrement touchés. Le baril vénézuélien devient « un baril plus compliqué et plus cher ». « La Chine est profondément choquée et condamne fermement l'utilisation éhontée de la force contre un État souverain. Cela constitue une violation grave du droit international. »- Porte-parole du gouvernement chinois Révision stratégique en Amérique latine L'intervention envoie un signal clair à toute la région. Les gouvernements et entreprises doivent désormais calculer : « Si je fais un gros deal chinois dans un secteur sensible, est-ce que j'attire une pression américaine ? » La Chine ne va pas abandonner l'Amérique latine facilement. La région représente des investissements de près de 200 milliards de dollars dans les minéraux critiques, terres rares, or et argent. Cuba : une économie au bord du précipice Une crise structurelle aggravée L'économie cubaine, déjà en crise permanente depuis la chute de l'URSS, risque le coup fatal. Cuba dépend fortement du pétrole vénézuélien pour son système énergétique vétuste. La situation cubaine Dépendance énergétique : les livraisons vénézuéliennes étaient déjà réduites depuis 2017 Réseau électrique défaillant : coupures de courant quotidiennes, en province on parle "d'allumage de courant" Crise démographique : population passée de 11,2 millions à 9,75 millions (voire 8 millions selon des observateurs) Exode massif : 850 000 Cubains entrés aux États-Unis entre 2021 et 2023 « Cuba est un désastre. Il n'y a pas d'économie. Elle s'est complètement effondrée. Tous les gardes qui ont aidé à protéger Maduro étaient cubains. Les Vénézuéliens devraient déclarer leur indépendance vis-à-vis de Cuba. » - Marco Rubio, Secrétaire d'État américain Risque de crise sociale majeure Les manifestations de juillet 2021, les premières de grande ampleur depuis la révolution, ont été sévèrement réprimées. L'inflation galopante, les pénuries alimentaires, la fin progressive des subventions d'État créent un terreau fertile pour un mécontentement social explosif. Le Groenland : la prochaine cible Au-delà du pétrole : les minerais critiques Le Groenland regorge de ressources stratégiques : terres rares, cuivre, or, uranium, et potentiellement pétrole offshore. Ces minerais sont essentiels pour les industries de pointe, l'aéronautique, le spatial et l'intelligence artificielle. Une stratégie d'acquisition multiforme Les États-Unis disposent de nombreux leviers : pression économique sur le Danemark, proposition d'accords type Porto Rico, exploitation du souhait d'indépendance d'une partie des Groenlandais (environ 30% de l'électorat). La réaction européenne sera probablement limitée, l'Union européenne n'ayant ni l'unité ni les moyens militaires pour s'opposer à Washington. Implications économiques mondiales Le libre-échange fragilisé Au-delà des tarifs douaniers qui préoccupaient déjà en 2025, le monde découvre une "course aux riches et aux ressources" avec une dimension militaire. Cette nouvelle réalité fragilise considérablement le commerce international. Le risque de dédollarisation Les grandes économies, y compris l'Inde, s'inquiètent de l'utilisation du dollar dans leurs transactions. L'intervention au Venezuela pourrait accélérer la recherche d'alternatives monétaires. Cependant, la dédollarisation reste un processus lent. Le dollar demeure dominant dans les transferts internationaux et les réserves mondiales. Historiquement, les transitions monétaires nécessitent soit une guerre, soit une période d'hyperinflation. Le nationalisme métallique La véritable confrontation entre puissances ne porte pas sur la guerre commerciale, mais sur l'accès aux ressources essentielles. L'intelligence artificielle nécessite de l'énergie à bas coût et des minerais critiques. Cette course aux matériaux définit la géopolitique de 2026. Zones à surveiller Myanmar (Birmanie) : régime militaire soutenu par la Chine, riche en ressources Pakistan (Gwadar) : port stratégique pour la Chine dans le cadre des nouvelles routes de la soie Canal de Panama : route commerciale critique évoquée par l'administration Trump Honduras et Paraguay : enjeux autour de la reconnaissance de Taïwan Perspectives pour les investisseurs Le Venezuela : un pari très risqué Malgré les déclarations optimistes, le Venezuela reste extrêmement incertain. Les infrastructures sont vétustes, la corruption endémique, et la situation politique imprévisible. Les investissements nécessitent une vision à dix ans minimum. Certains fonds spéculatifs américains s'intéressent déjà aux obligations d'État vénézuéliennes, qui ont bien performé ces derniers mois. Mais ce sont des stratégies à très haut risque, réservées aux professionnels. Prudence régionale Les investisseurs adoptent une approche prudente sur l'ensemble de l'Amérique latine. Le risque n'est plus seulement la corruption classique des pays émergents, mais un vrai risque d'instabilité géopolitique et d'intervention américaine. La dette vénézuélienne En cas de stabilisation du pays, la dette vénézuélienne pourrait devenir attractive. Cependant, de nombreux obstacles subsistent : contrôles de capitaux stricts, incertitudes juridiques, et nécessité de réformes profondes. Conclusion : l'ère du nationalisme des ressources L'opération "Absolute Resolve" marque un tournant dans la géopolitique mondiale. Elle révèle une doctrine américaine claire : contrôler "l'hémisphère occidental" et ses ressources, éjecter les concurrents chinois et russes de la zone d'influence américaine. Cette approche s'inscrit dans une vision d'"aires civilisationnelles", rappelant la doctrine Monroe du XIXe siècle. Les États-Unis affirment leur droit à dominer leur sphère géographique, comme la Russie le fait avec l'espace slave et la Chine avec sa région. Pour les investisseurs et les entreprises, le monde devient plus fragmenté et plus risqué. Les matières premières, les minerais critiques et les routes commerciales définissent les nouveaux champs de bataille économiques. Cette réalité va structurer l'économie mondiale en 2026 et au-delà. « L'avenir sera déterminé par notre capacité à protéger le commerce, les territoires et les ressources qui sont essentielles à notre sécurité nationale. Tout comme les droits de douane, ils permettent à notre pays de s'enrichir. » - Donald Trump

Dopo ventisei anni di negoziati e numerosi rinvii, il 12 gennaio la presidente della Commissione europea Ursula von der Leyen dovrebbe firmare l'accordo di libero scambio tra Ue e Mercosur. Il via libera formale degli Stati membri è atteso dal voto degli ambasciatori dei Ventisette, previsto come una formalità. L'Italia si appresta a cambiare posizione, passando dal no al sì dopo le rassicurazioni offerte dalla Commissione a tutela degli agricoltori, contribuendo così a garantire la maggioranza qualificata. Anche la Francia guarda con favore all'intesa, pur non potendo sostenerla apertamente per ragioni di politica interna. L'accordo assume un valore storico non solo per l'impatto economico, ma anche per la sua rilevanza geopolitica, diventando una risposta europea alla cosiddetta dottrina "Donroe" e alla crescente pressione statunitense nell'Emisfero occidentale. Bruxelles punta a rafforzare i legami politici e commerciali con Brasile, Argentina, Paraguay e Uruguay, considerati partner strategici anche per l'approvvigionamento di materie prime. Restano però forti le opposizioni del mondo agricolo, soprattutto in Italia. La Commissione rivendica un pacchetto di tutele senza precedenti per il settore, con salvaguardie, controlli rigorosi e reti di sicurezza. L'intesa dovrebbe aumentare del 50% le esportazioni agroalimentari europee verso il Mercosur ed estendere la protezione a 344 indicazioni geografiche dell'Ue. Il commento è affidato a Luigi Scordamaglia - Amministratore Delegato di Filiera Italia.Transizione 5.0, sì del Senato: cosa cambia su aree idonee e golden powerIl Senato ha approvato con voto di fiducia il decreto legge sulla Transizione 5.0, con 88 voti favorevoli e 58 contrari. Il provvedimento passa ora alla Camera per la conversione in legge entro il 20 gennaio. Il testo disciplina il credito d'imposta per la Transizione 5.0 e definisce la cornice normativa per l'individuazione delle aree idonee agli impianti da fonti rinnovabili. Tra le principali novità introdotte in commissione figurano la modifica della norma sul golden power nel settore finanziario, creditizio e assicurativo, per rispondere alle osservazioni della Commissione europea, e l'introduzione di un periodo transitorio sulle aree idonee per tutelare le pratiche già avviate. Il relatore Etelwardo Sigismondi ha difeso il lavoro svolto, respingendo le critiche delle opposizioni e rivendicando l'azione del governo sul caro energia e sul sostegno a famiglie e imprese. Secondo la maggioranza, il decreto offre certezze alle imprese, favorisce gli investimenti nelle rinnovabili, riduce la burocrazia e sostiene la transizione energetica con attenzione alle esigenze dei territori. Approfondiamo con Carmine Fotina - Il Sole 24 Ore.Istat: a novembre tasso di disoccupazione giù al 5,7%, mai così bassoA novembre 2025 il tasso di disoccupazione scende al 5,7%, il livello più basso dall'inizio delle serie storiche nel 2004. Cala anche la disoccupazione giovanile, che si attesta al 18,8%, mentre aumenta il tasso di inattività al 33,5%. Il numero complessivo di occupati è pari a 24 milioni 188 mila, in lieve calo rispetto al mese precedente, ma in crescita su base annua di 179 mila unità. L'aumento annuo è trainato soprattutto dai dipendenti permanenti e dagli autonomi, mentre diminuiscono i contratti a termine. Su base mensile il calo degli occupati riguarda in particolare donne, giovani, lavoratori autonomi e dipendenti a termine. Nel confronto trimestrale, invece, l'occupazione mostra un incremento complessivo. I dati confermano un mercato del lavoro in miglioramento strutturale, pur con segnali di fragilità legati alla qualità e alla stabilità dell'occupazione. Ne parliamo con Francesco Seghezzi - Presidente Fondazione ADAPT.

Guest: Professor Evan Ellis.
