[00:02:57] hacking and phishing related to bank accounts. The
[00:03:01] bank reminds that it will never request confidential
[00:03:04] information by email, WhatsApp, or text
[00:03:07] messages, nor will it ask to verify or revalidate an
[00:03:11] account through links. Therefore, they recommend not clicking
[00:03:14] on suspicious messages or links and immediately reporting
[00:03:18] any fraud attempt to the bank. In addition, they
[00:03:22] remind that data such as PIN, username, password, and
[00:03:25] pass are confidential and should never be shared with
[00:03:29] other people. The recommendation is to stay
[00:03:32] alert and protect personal and banking
[00:03:36] information.
[00:08:43] how are you? Good evening, it's a pleasure to greet you.
[00:09:05] I'm Fernando del Rincón, welcome, welcome to Conclusiones, thank you for
[00:09:15] visit of the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to three Latin American
[00:09:19] countries. He is in Colombia,
[00:09:22] and will also be in Peru and Ecuador, of
[00:09:26] course. In all three countries, there is a common
[00:09:29] theme, you see, that obviously has to do with US collaboration,
[00:09:33] and this is a security issue. In Colombia, well, it's
[00:09:37] evident, besides it being the flag
[00:09:40] that Abelardo del Espriella
[00:09:43] has waved during his campaign and now as acting president,
[00:09:47] the issue of the fight against armed groups
[00:09:49] and also the
[00:09:53] normalization of relations, which is very important, but above all, the security
[00:09:56] issue is indeed highly relevant. This
[00:10:00] tour by Marco Rubio also aims to
[00:10:04] strengthen what is known as the "Shield of the Americas," where several
[00:10:08] countries have joined, of course
[00:10:12] of Abelardo del Espriella, has an enormous
[00:10:14] rapprochement with the United States
[00:10:17] and a clear
[00:10:20] alignment with Washington's agenda. But the same
[00:10:23] happens in Peru and Ecuador. In Ecuador, there is also an issue, as you
[00:10:27] know, an important collaboration that has been strongly
[00:10:30] questioned, but also in the field of security with President
[00:10:34] Daniel Noboa in the fight against in
[00:10:37] both cases also against drug trafficking. Yes,
[00:10:41] in Colombia, they are seeking collaboration; they
[00:10:44] are collaborating with the United States in the fight
[00:10:48] against armed groups, but also against drug trafficking. Now, in
[00:10:52] Ecuador, it's basically against
[00:10:55] drug trafficking groups as well. Now that he will be in
[00:10:59] Peru with Keiko Fujimori, who has been president for
[00:11:03] 40-something days, 42 days I think,
[00:11:06] the issue of security was also the
[00:11:08] important issue, and she will also seek collaboration. Now, what is
[00:11:12] behind all this? Well, there are many
[00:11:16] doubts about how far the collaboration will go, and that's
[00:11:21] people are asking. For example, today we will be talking about what Keiko
[00:11:24] Fujimori is doing in terms of security that already worries
[00:11:27] some, but it is starting to attract attention. She is asking for
[00:11:30] extraordinary powers, for example, for
[00:11:34] 66 extraordinary powers for 120
[00:11:37] days, but not only for security issues. The main
[00:11:40] issues are security, but from there, it gets into
[00:11:44] economy, education, health,
[00:11:47] etcetera. Obviously, from the legislative branch, they say, "Wait,
[00:11:50] wait, 66 special powers, wait. We have
[00:11:53] to review this well, right? Because there are many, the
[00:11:57] accumulation of power is dangerous too." And on the other hand,
[00:12:01] she is with the state of emergency in
[00:12:04] high-security prisons. There are five or six high-
[00:12:07] security prisons that are under a state of emergency.
[00:12:11] Obviously, what does she do? She is practically
[00:12:14] militarizing these prisons. Hence,
[00:12:17] the issue of security will also be fundamental in the visit with Marco
[00:12:21] Rubio, and in Ecuador. Well, let's continue with this because in Ecuador, they really
[00:12:25] started and continued with the collaboration. So we will be
[00:12:28] following up on that. Today, we go with Colombia because
[00:12:32] Marco Rubio was in Colombia today. We anticipate a bit of this
[00:12:35] situation in Peru to explain everything that is happening regarding
[00:12:39] security with Keiko Fujimori primarily
[00:12:42] and with the special powers she is requesting because
[00:12:46] she will be there tomorrow, and with that, what I have been
[00:12:49] telling you will be reaffirmed, this greater rapprochement,
[00:12:53] mainly with security interests in the three countries, the fight
[00:12:56] against drug trafficking, and I believe,
[00:12:59] I believe that in the particular case of
[00:13:03] Peru, there will be an important economic agenda due to China's
[00:13:06] presence and the agreements China has with Peru.
[00:13:09] This is something you know is on Washington's agenda; they want to remove
[00:13:13] China as far as possible from Latin American
[00:13:16] territory, so I think there will also be interesting
[00:13:20] topics there, but we won't
[00:14:06] with President Abelardo del Espriella and are followed by the attendees at the
[00:14:10] event, the signing of the Barranquilla agreements is celebrated.
[00:14:13] This is how the Colombian president referred to the agreements signed
[00:14:16] between the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his counterpart
[00:14:20] Omar Bula during the visit of
[00:14:24] this top US diplomat to Colombia. A high-ranking
[00:14:27] official, Secretary of State, no more and no less. Del
[00:14:31] Espriella described them as a roadmap that seeks to rebuild the country
[00:14:34] after the August 10 earthquake, which is the other point also in Colombia.
[00:14:38] Unfortunately, this earthquake that
[00:14:42] hit Colombia is part of an extremely
[00:14:45] important reconstruction that needs to be done. Not only that,
[00:14:49] but he also added the joint tasks in the recovery of the
[00:14:52] economy.
[00:14:55] The shielding, he says, of the hemisphere. And after Tuesday's
[00:14:59] meeting, Rubio appeared before the media with a very ambitious message. From Barranquilla, he said
[00:15:03] that the United States and Colombia can enter a golden
[00:15:06] age, marked by a cooperation that, in his
[00:15:09] opinion, is unprecedented.
[00:15:17] not only to restore that, but also to create and create a
[00:15:21] golden age of... relationship between our two countries and our people, and of course the president, the
[00:15:32] host of the house, President de la Espriella, showered
[00:15:36] praise on the Cuban-born Secretary of State. Let's
[00:15:45] freedom, democracy, and institutionalism, because there isn't a Latino in the
[00:15:49] world who doesn't feel represented
[00:15:52] by Marco Rubio, who has always done it in the best possible
[00:15:55] way in front of our community.
[00:15:59] The message of
[00:15:59] cooperation also
[00:16:04] reached the economy. Colombia seeks that
[00:16:06] the United States review the 12.5% tariffs applied to some
[00:16:10] of the products. However, although the issue was not addressed
[00:16:14] during the appearance, and without going into detail, Rubio assured
[00:16:18] that the economic opportunities between both countries are
[00:16:21] incredible. The economic opportunities, the current
[00:16:24] situation is not. The officials also signed two memoranda of
[00:16:28] understanding. The topics are revealing. Look, this really
[00:16:31] caught my attention, I think few of us expected it, it's about
[00:16:35] this, this especially,
[00:16:37] civil nuclear energy.
[00:16:41] That's something that wasn't heard, wasn't talked
[00:16:45] about, but it was part of the
[00:16:48] memoranda of understanding, civil nuclear
[00:16:52] energy, and this also, critical minerals
[00:16:55] and rare earths. The United States has
[00:16:58] been very attentive to this issue of rare earths, not only
[00:17:02] in Latin America, do you remember there in Ukraine?
[00:17:05] That was part of
[00:17:08] an agreement to continue supporting President Volodymyr Zelensky
[00:17:12] on the issue of exploiting rare earths, right? So
[00:17:16] now in Colombia too,
[00:17:18] Venezuela is not far behind either. In another program, I'll be talking
[00:17:22] about rare earths and minerals, but the United States is very attentive to that,
[00:17:26] and well, in this agenda, for the first time in Latin America,
[00:17:30] civil nuclear energy and critical
[00:17:33] minerals are now part of the memoranda of understanding.
[00:17:37] and rare earths. There's history behind
[00:17:41] them, right? What am I referring to? First,
[00:17:45] China, that the United States seeks to reduce its dependence on
[00:17:49] China, precisely in critical minerals and rare
[00:17:53] earths, which are indispensable for manufacturing, as you
[00:17:57] know, today's electronic components, batteries,
[00:18:00] defense systems. And Colombia, Colombia appears
[00:18:04] with a potential that now
[00:18:08] takes on new value. There is a
[00:18:12] recent report of a discovery of Tungsten in the
[00:18:16] Caldas region. Tungsten is a high-strength metal
[00:18:19] used in industrial, aerospace, and defense sectors.
[00:18:23] National security also occupies
[00:18:26] a central place in this new stage. Washington wants to reinforce its support
[00:18:30] for Colombia in the fight against armed groups and drug trafficking
[00:18:33] organizations, which is what I told you at the beginning. Marco Rubio
[00:18:36] emphasizes that the problem transcends borders. This is something
[00:18:40] we all understand very well, but the major governmental
[00:18:42] decisions will not be limited to Rubio's visit.
[00:18:45] This Tuesday, which drew a lot
[00:18:49] of attention, Espriella signed a decree lifting the
[00:18:52] general suspension of permits for carrying
[00:18:54] firearms. That is,
[00:18:57] to say, it doesn't mean that everyone
[00:19:01] will be armed, that all civilians will be able to arm themselves,
[00:19:05] but before, you didn't even have a chance.
[00:19:07] Now, by complying with the requirements that they have to meet, you will be able to
[00:19:11] carry a weapon in
[00:19:18] that right to carry a weapon is Decree
[00:19:21] 1368, which President Abelardo
[00:19:24] del Espriella has repealed. It was the general suspension of
[00:19:28] gun carrying permits, in force since 2018.
[00:19:31] It establishes that those who already have a valid
[00:19:35] and current permit, without suspension, cancellation, revocation,
[00:19:38] expiration, or legal or judicial prohibition, may carry
[00:19:42] weapons. But the decree clarifies that this does not
[00:19:45] mean free carrying of weapons, but that the
[00:19:48] requirements, restrictions, and controls of the military
[00:19:51] and police authorities are maintained. In other words,
[00:19:54] they give you a chance to carry weapons as long
[00:19:58] they ask for.
[00:20:18] very clear point. Yes, it's
[00:20:21] very common when it comes to the issue of weapons; they do it a lot here in the United States.
[00:20:25] He said, how is it possible that the criminal
[00:20:29] who is going to mug you on the street is armed and the good
[00:20:33] citizen is not able to
[00:20:35] defend themselves? And if you look
[00:20:37] at it simplistically,
[00:20:40] you're absolutely right.
[00:20:43] But it's much
[00:20:46] more complex. I think the question here is why
[00:20:50] hasn't it been possible to
[00:20:53] prevent weapons from circulating freely among
[00:20:56] criminals?
[00:20:59] The state has not been able to control that flow of
[00:21:01] illegal weapons. The solution is not to arm more
[00:21:05] people or for more people to arm themselves; the solution is to get weapons off the streets, from another
[00:21:09] point of view. There will be someone who says, "No, it's
[00:21:12] not like that, everyone should arm themselves."
[00:21:15] But those are two completely different points of view, right? That's how Abelardo
[00:21:19] del Espriella supports it. But there's the other side of the coin that says,
[00:21:22] "No, what we have to do is reduce the number of weapons. We have to stop
[00:21:26] the illegal flow of weapons. We have to get them off the streets."
[00:21:30] In short, security issues, a vision to
[00:21:33] strengthen national security hand in hand with the United States.
[00:21:37] Now, on the issue of national security, how far will the agreements
[00:21:41] go? How far? Abelardo
[00:21:44] del Espriella is characterizing himself
[00:21:48] by going further, by going further in this promise he makes
[00:21:52] to Colombians to eliminate irregular
[00:21:54] groups, to bring them down, bring them to
[00:21:58] justice, etcetera.
[00:22:01] Today, it was not really detailed
[00:22:04] what type of agreements, what type of operations,
[00:22:08] what type of collaboration. Surely, we will know in the future,
[00:22:12] I hope. But how far can or
[00:22:15] should the agreements go? There has to be some change with the collaboration that already
[00:22:19] existed. And I'm going to say it this way, right? Mostly before
[00:22:23] Petro, there has to be an
[00:22:26] currently exists in terms of US support for the Colombian
[00:22:30] government.
[00:23:06] closed-door meeting that happened, agreements that without a doubt
[00:23:10] we knew would be focused on security issues.
[00:23:13] What, what is it that today, we didn't
[00:23:17] hear? Perhaps what we expected to hear. As a journalist,
[00:23:20] I tell you, I didn't hear a detailed plan
[00:23:24] of how this new collaboration will be. Marta Lucía Ramírez, do you have
[00:23:28] any idea? Well, Fernando, the first thing is that I
[00:23:31] think it's great that this was an
[00:23:35] absolutely proactive visit from the United States,
[00:23:38] but also from Colombia. Topics that are absolutely
[00:23:42] strategic have been placed on the agenda. The fact that the most important person
[00:23:45] in world geopolitics has come to Colombia today and will go to
[00:23:49] Ecuador and Peru shows that he attaches
[00:23:52] absolutely fundamental importance to the
[00:23:56] region. This shows that President Trump, who is obviously the
[00:23:59] leader of this policy, is really
[00:24:03] thinking long-term, and the long term means not
[00:24:05] limiting oneself to the contentious issues
[00:24:09] between the United States and the Andean countries, which are always those
[00:24:12] of drug trafficking, security, smuggling, etc.,
[00:24:16] but also addressing long-term and strategic
[00:24:20] issues. These two memoranda of understanding are fundamental
[00:24:23] and do have very concrete elements, because to
[00:24:27] talk about energy security today
[00:24:31] means also talking about the need to
[00:24:34] investigate what role Colombia can play in
[00:24:40] because our country has never talked
[00:24:43] about that topic, but we know that nuclear energy is the cheapest
[00:24:46] source of energy. The thing is that all the countries that have been part
[00:24:50] of the non-proliferation treaty
[00:24:53] in nuclear matters, then, in some way, have refrained from even
[00:24:57] investigating, but this is a field where one has to investigate,
[00:25:01] and Colombia is undoubtedly one of the countries with the greatest
[00:25:05] potential in all energy sources: oil,
[00:25:08] coal, gas, obviously hydraulic
[00:25:12] energy, bioenergy, which is what obviously
[00:25:15] also involves the development of ethanol, palm
[00:25:18] oil, etc. And today we are
[00:25:20] also talking about nuclear energy, so it's all energy
[00:25:23] sources in a country like Colombia with enormous
[00:25:27] potential. But Ecuador also has it, Peru also
[00:25:30] has it. I am sure that after this visit, there will undoubtedly
[00:25:34] be a much more detailed development of agreements
[00:25:38] on these issues so that, hopefully, our hemisphere,
[00:25:42] not only Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and the United States, but the hemisphere
[00:25:45] becomes a true power for what remains of
[00:25:48] this 21st century, because this group of countries with all the
[00:25:52] energy sources, with all the agents we have for food
[00:25:56] production, with all the potential we have in those
[00:26:00] lands and rare minerals that you rightly mentioned, the
[00:26:04] potential that Latin America has is enormous. The main
[00:26:07] proven sources are in Argentina,
[00:26:11] Chile, Bolivia, but for example, Colombia has done almost no
[00:26:14] exploration. Why? First of all, because
[00:26:17] of this always very reactive attitude that has existed towards
[00:26:21] mining, which is a mistake. Mining is good if it is done in a
[00:26:24] sustainable way, if it is done responsibly
[00:26:28] with communities, if informal
[00:26:32] exploitation that harms miners stuck in the
[00:26:36] mines is avoided, but also that causes great
[00:26:39] damage to the environment. But then the
[00:26:42] potential that our country and the region have
[00:26:46] is immense in all these aspects.
[00:26:49] país y la región es inmenso en todos estos
[00:26:52] topics, but I think we've gone from a reactive agenda from the United
[00:26:56] States, drawing attention to a proactive,
[00:27:00] purposeful, strategic and... long-term
[00:27:14] picture, as they say here, no, in the bigger
[00:27:16] scenario, I see a United States with a
[00:27:20] very aggressive
[00:27:22] exploitation agenda in Latin America, you just have to look at
[00:27:26] the case of the agreement that
[00:27:29] was made with the Delcy Rodríguez regime for oil
[00:27:32] exploitation in Venezuela, how
[00:27:35] it now turns to Colombia to talk
[00:27:39] about nuclear energy for civil use, but
[00:27:42] also about rare earths, no, particularly the case of
[00:27:46] Tungsten, surely it will do the same in Peru, because
[00:27:49] it is another of the cases, uh, and the big question I ask myself
[00:27:53] is why does the United States have to go wherever
[00:27:56] to Venezuela, to Colombia, to Peru, in
[00:28:00] this specific case, I focus on Colombia the United States has to go to
[00:28:03] Colombia for all this to be developed? Why? Why
[00:28:07] can Colombia per se, by itself, Colombia not
[00:28:10] generate that great opportunity?
[00:28:13] Because you know as well as I do. The United States is not going to just come and do them a favor
[00:28:17] just because, there is an exchange here and there will have to be a gain for
[00:28:21] the United States, especially under a government like Donald Trump's. What
[00:28:24] what's happening? Why can Colombia not get ahead by itself if
[00:28:28] the United States is not there? That's the
[00:29:02] Here on CNN, the news is first.
[00:29:04] primero.
[00:29:08] I'm going with Jeelo Molinares to the Capitol. They have already set aside
[00:29:12] funds for the Department of Homeland Security. When there's a lot at
[00:29:15] stake, we cut through the noise to clearly inform you
[00:29:19] about the issues and policies that affect you, from decisions made
[00:29:22] in Washington to their repercussions throughout
[00:29:25] the United States, Latin America, and the world. Where do
[00:29:29] relations with the United States stand? Relations between the United States
[00:29:33] and Cuba have always been abnormal. Direct USA
[00:29:36] is that window through which you can enter the United States and
[00:29:40] see what is happening in this country. We follow the
[00:29:44] story from all angles to bring you
[00:29:47] the facts directly. Pro-immigrant groups filed a
[00:29:51] lawsuit. From our studios in
[00:29:54] Washington, I'm Juan Carlos López. Join me on
[00:29:57] Direct USA Monday through Friday on
[00:30:00] CNN.
[00:30:09] The fight this time is that the
[00:30:13] administration wants a sharp cut in interest
[00:30:16] rates to boost
[00:30:20] the economy, but the Fed, which has price stability as one of its two
[00:30:23] mandates, defending us from inflation, believes that if it does
[00:30:27] that, if it makes a sharp
[00:30:30] cut, it would stop
[00:30:33] inflation, and a scenario with growth problems
[00:30:36] and at the same time inflation, that is, what is called
[00:30:39] stagflation,
[00:30:42] that is precisely what the Fed
[00:30:44] of Powell, of Jerome Powell, wants to avoid.
