00:01:03The authorities of Guatemala reinforced the surveillance around the Fuego volcano,
00:01:06one of the most active in all of Central America. The Institute of
00:01:10Seismology, Volcanology, Meteorology
00:01:13and Hydrology, reported that the volcano continues with intense
00:01:16activity that continues to increase and includes emissions of
00:01:20ash, gases and lava fragments. Due to the increase in
00:01:23activity, preventive evacuations began in nearby communities.
00:01:27So far, about 1,700 people have been
00:01:31transferred to five shelters. Some classes were
00:01:34suspended in nearby municipalities and tourist access to the
00:01:37volcanoes of Acatenango
00:01:41and Fuego was also restricted, and surveillance is maintained over the area that could be
00:01:45affected by the ashes.

00:04:11Donald Trump's trade war now faces a new
00:04:14obstacle, but this time within the United States,
00:04:1825 states of the United States filed a lawsuit against the
00:04:21Trump administration for the new round of tariffs affecting
00:04:25imports from 60 countries. This
00:04:28legal action by the states, particularly Democrats,
00:04:32is led by attorneys general from states such as New
00:04:35York, California, Arizona, New Jersey, among
00:04:39others. Lawyers assure that these measures are illegal and
00:04:42that they will end up increasing costs for American families and
00:04:46businesses, if they haven't already. But the debate is not
00:04:49only in the US courts. In Mexico, President
00:04:53Claudia Sheinbaum has also questioned the tariff
00:04:56strategy of her partner, of the partners of...
00:05:00Mexico, United States, let's listen,
00:05:03we have not agreed with the tariffs, that is known,
00:05:06well, practically no country, because
00:05:09we consider that there are other mechanisms in any case to...
00:05:12strengthen an economic region against
00:05:15another and not the
00:05:17scheme
00:05:20of eh of thinking only, in
00:05:23particular in our case, it is better to think about
00:05:27North America with the trade treaty we have,
00:05:30compared to other regions of the world, to strengthen ourselves as a
00:05:34region, rather than setting internal
00:05:37limits.
00:05:42tariff policy comes after the Donald Trump administration had already
00:05:46faced a judicial setback in its country on tariff
00:05:49policy. Let's recall: on February 20,
00:05:532026, the US Supreme Court did not authorize President
00:05:57Trump to impose global tariffs. In March, the
00:06:00US government initiated trade investigations against
00:06:0359 countries and the European Union. By July,
00:06:07the United States announced new tariffs, the Office of the
00:06:10Trade Representative has proposed tariffs of between 10 and
00:06:1412.5% depending on the country. On
00:06:17July 23, 2026, Trump activated a new
00:06:21round of tariffs and the White House imposed these
00:06:24levies on imports from dozens of countries under section
00:06:28301 on forced labor until
00:06:32we reach August 3 when 25 states sued the
00:06:35government. There have been other issues, other sections, of course,
00:06:39that we will now start to comment on, the Trump government.
00:06:42justifies these tariffs as a tool to respond to
00:06:45alleged forced labor practices in international supply
00:06:49chains, but the plaintiff states say that
00:06:53this explanation is just a justification for imposing new
00:06:55taxes on imports across the board. This
00:06:59confrontation raises a key question: are Trump's tariffs
00:07:03a pressure tool for negotiation or a policy that already
00:07:07affects consumers
00:07:08themselves?
00:07:14we analyze all this and what it may mean for the
00:07:18region, for Mexico and for obviously 60 countries. I welcome
00:07:22the economic and political analyst Alejandra Kulen. What a
00:07:26pleasure to greet you, Alejandro. It's a great pleasure to greet you here in conclusions. Let's
00:07:30see, these are different sections that Donald Trump has used, ranging from
00:07:33232, which remains, to 301, 338, in
00:07:37short, a wide range of possibilities of legal tools
00:07:41that go in a single direction: reconfigure
00:07:44eh, it's the truth, as he has
00:07:48said, the intention is to reduce the trade deficit that the United States has
00:07:52with the world.
00:08:11think it's a... combination of wanting to reduce the trade
00:08:14deficit that Donald Trump for some reason considers
00:08:18harmful, combined with a search to finance
00:08:22the American budget deficit through
00:08:25tariffs and to try to make both exporting
00:08:29countries and American consumers
00:08:32pay the debt that
00:08:35the United States has. Let's remember the size of the
00:08:38deficit at this moment and tariffs are a
00:08:42mechanism where instead of directly raising taxes,
00:08:46politically he sells it as an impact on
00:08:50exporting countries and a mechanism
00:08:53supposedly to strengthen the domestic market. In
00:08:56this attempt to strengthen the domestic
00:09:00market and supposedly reduce the trade deficit, what
00:09:04ends up happening is that the one who suffers the most is the American
00:09:07consumer, Mario. So it's a
00:09:11game of... geopolitics, that is, where
00:09:14it is affecting exporting countries and in
00:09:17particular China, all the regions that had
00:09:21benefits are now harmed, or by one
00:09:24or another of the tariff measures that Trump
00:09:27is constantly
00:09:29seeking.
00:09:32Now, you say to avoid applying taxes that are always
00:09:36unpopular and especially in a pre-election context,
00:09:39but finally they are taxes. Can we see it that
00:09:43way, an indirect tax, Alejandra?
00:09:46That is, de facto it is a direct tax on the American
00:09:49consumer, but he can sell it politically
00:09:53as an impact
00:09:55on the exporter, on the exporting country.
00:09:59So he argues a reduction in the trade deficit when in
00:10:03reality what he is looking for is to generate new income for
00:10:06the United States. There is no way to understand it otherwise beyond,
00:10:10of course, the fight. political he has with China, which
00:10:14is, let's say, his true objective or
00:10:17his target, as they say in the United States, eh, because
00:10:21he is trying to rebalance not only the trade balance,
00:10:25but also trying to protect all data centers, all
00:10:29American technology industry
00:10:32and the automotive industry that is competing directly
00:10:35with China. Today
00:10:39the argument of forced labor of
00:10:42countries that consume goods that in turn imply forced
00:10:46labor, this was a law from 1974
00:10:50that has nothing to do with an environment of free trade with low
00:10:54tariffs, as has been experienced in the last
00:10:5720 years, eh, it seems to me a very
00:11:00dangerous measure, not only because it unbalances the
00:11:04American internal market, but because many of these products that are
00:11:08affected, there are perishable goods, food,
00:11:11but also much of the manufacturing industry
00:11:15that the United States does not necessarily can
00:11:18produce today, because salaries are too high
00:11:22and the industry becomes uncompetitive in this
00:11:25type of segments. So the imbalance in the world
00:11:29market that it is generating is brutal, but in the
00:11:32process it is collecting a very significant amount,
00:11:36that's why Democrats are already looking for a political
00:11:39measure to address
00:11:41it.
00:11:44there is ideology, there is an ideology, a redesign
00:11:48of the rules of the game at the international level,
00:11:51because you already mention two issues, that is, the tariff part. goes one
00:11:55way and Donald Trump wants to bring industrial reactivation
00:11:58back to the United States, complicated, but
00:12:02well, this, this speaks
00:12:04of a reconfiguration,
00:12:06I insist, is there an ideology behind that or is it more
00:12:09pragmatism? Let's see, I think it's pragmatism to
00:12:12directly address his voters. Let's remember
00:12:16that the average Trump voter is an average, he is a
00:12:19middle-class voter, much of
00:12:23the population that was displaced by manufacturing
00:12:26industry from other countries, of course,
00:12:29starting with Mexico, with China, eh, with
00:12:33Vietnam, with many of the countries that have a much more efficient
00:12:36manufacturing industry than the American one, or much
00:12:40cheaper, let's put it that way, eh, is the one
00:12:43that was benefiting from free
00:12:47trade, but the low-skilled
00:12:51American workers who lost their jobs
00:12:53and who have to readjust
00:12:57because they need to train to
00:13:01enter the service market or
00:13:04directly into the technology market, well, they were the ones
00:13:07most affected and they are Trump's average voter.
00:13:11Today, with the elections just a couple of months away,
00:13:15eh, I think it's part of Donald Trump's completely pragmatic
00:13:18policy to generate external
00:13:21income through tariffs
00:13:25and simultaneously try to send
00:13:27a signal of attention to this segment
00:13:31of voters, which is the one that follows him,
00:13:35it is his hard base in
00:13:37the United States. It will
00:13:40not necessarily work because as we
00:13:44know, his popularity today is
00:13:46very low, however, the reconfiguration of the districts, the
00:13:50redistricting of the United States possibly
00:13:54ends up benefiting him in the
00:13:56midterm elections coming in
00:13:58November.
00:14:02Now, in the midst of this redesign, a war came in which it
00:14:05seems that things have not gone very well due to the situation with oil
00:14:09and the rise in fuel prices, but if you agree, we'll come back to that. Allow me a
00:14:13break and I'll return with the economic and political analyst Alejandra Kuren
00:14:17here in conclusions,
00:14:18we'll be back.
00:14:28Yes, yes, it's clear, and it's good that you're back, you've said
00:14:32it at the beginning of the program, that is, well, assuming that
00:14:35eh this transition occurs, because there are a series of
00:14:38questions that you have explained very well, that is, that
00:14:42this from the start means well, maybe this is not
00:14:45as immediate as we think, second, the point of
00:14:48transparency, of maintaining transparency, which well
00:14:52put us in the spotlight, Berna, who has been
00:14:55tremendously a positive asset and a great
00:14:58asset of the institution, and then fundamentally the
00:15:02structure of a strong Fed
00:15:06with that complexity it has right
00:15:09now regionally, it's a strength, it's a strength.
00:15:25To understand the world, you need to seek
00:15:28the truth. Let's return to the era when we had to be much
00:15:31more human, that's why we follow the facts,
00:15:35wherever they lead us, no matter what.
00:16:08We follow what matters to you,
00:16:11we forge a path towards truth and understanding of the world.
00:17:32I am Elizabeth González in Panama City, we are
00:17:35CNN.
00:17:41Well, we continue with the topic of tariffs with Alejandra Kullen, the political
00:17:45economy analyst, economy and politics,
00:17:48eh, you were already telling us, Alejandra, let's see, it seems that we
00:17:51will see if it works or not, it seems that many things are not working because what
00:17:54we see of the approval, the popularity of President Donald Trump is getting
00:17:58worse towards the elections. Now,
00:18:02eh, world trade, do you think it is
00:18:06changing? Could it be as it was before Donald Trump's second administration?
00:18:09Have things already been disrupted and
00:18:13will we hardly ever see that again?
00:18:17Look, it is very difficult for it to return in the short term to the state it was
00:18:21in before. Let's remember that these treaties are based on
00:18:25trust, on trust between countries and on trust
00:18:28between leaders. The way Donald Trump has eh
00:18:32mistreated his trading partners, not only
00:18:35Mexico and Canada, who are of course
00:18:38among the first affected, but many of the countries with which
00:18:41he had different types of agreements and simply
00:18:45abruptly and without prior negotiation began to impose
00:18:48tariffs since he came to power in January
00:18:512025. This generates not
00:18:55only distrust between countries with the United
00:18:58States, but also a reconfiguration of
00:19:02the markets that are being affected by the
00:19:05fall or loss of access to the North
00:19:09American market. So some begin to form alliances
00:19:12among themselves, others are directly trying to form alliances
00:19:16with China, only China is not a market
00:19:19for exporters, because China only sells. A
00:19:23country like Mexico, to use an
00:19:26example that seems to me very representative,
00:19:30because it was one of the closest partners and where the most
00:19:33trust had been developed between
00:19:36the two countries and between the businesspeople of the two countries, well,
00:19:40today they live with the expectation of how they will be treated
00:19:44each year when this treaty is reviewed,
00:19:47which, as we know, Donald
00:19:50Trump decided not to renew directly,
00:19:54so every year there will have to be a review
00:19:57over 10 years if we are
00:20:00lucky and a good agreement is reached between new leaders,
00:20:04eventually a common market
00:20:08system will be rebuilt. Meanwhile,
00:20:12it is difficult the way investors make
00:20:15their decisions to invest in a country.
00:20:19I return to the Mexican example, which is
00:20:21similar to the Vietnamese, more
00:20:24intense because the relationship was more intense, but a North
00:20:27American businessman who decided to have
00:20:30an assembly plant for cars,
00:20:33for some computer, for example,
00:20:37well, some of the parts were obtained in Mexico,
00:20:41assembled in Mexico and the semi-finished product
00:20:44arrived in the United
00:20:47States and was finished in the United States. Some
00:20:50products even passed through all three countries. Nowadays,
00:20:54for an American investor, it is difficult
00:20:57to decide to invest in Mexico, because
00:21:01not necessarily the conditions of free
00:21:03trade of finished or semi-finished
00:21:07products will be the
00:21:10same.
00:21:14Now, Alejandra, effectively in terms of
00:21:18decision, yes.
00:21:23Now, despite that, Mexico continues to break export records
00:21:27to the United States, despite tariffs, most products are
00:21:30still protected by the USMCA, by the trade
00:21:33agreement, a small part not, but despite that,
00:21:37it continues to export, it continues to consolidate itself as the first trading partner, that is,
00:21:41something is happening there that it is clear that
00:21:44trade will continue, the United States needs
00:21:46it.
00:21:50Mexico has the geographical
00:21:53advantage of being the southern neighbor and
00:21:56where a good part of the north of our country
00:21:59has been adapting over the
00:22:02last 30 years to have a
00:22:05connection structure with the United States. What has happened
00:22:08is an internal reengineering and what
00:22:12used to be the export of automobiles and auto parts
00:22:16that was our main export to the United
00:22:19States. Today it became some
00:22:22of the electronics of products that are
00:22:26part of the pieces used in data centers in the
00:22:29United States, many chips that come from Taiwan are assembled
00:22:33in pieces in Mexico and from here enter the United States. So
00:22:37again, Mexico has the geographical advantage
00:22:41and has cheaper labor than, for example, the
00:22:43Canadian, but simply what you have had is a
00:22:47reconfiguration of the Mexican export industry. Of
00:22:50course, of course, all the part of primary
00:22:54products, avocado, tomato, well,
00:22:58sometimes they try to stop it with some tariffs, but the American
00:23:01demand is of such magnitude that
00:23:04even if Trump wants to stop it, it cannot
00:23:07be stopped, and the transportation costs are undoubtedly
00:23:11the lowest due to the
00:23:33medical attention, but his family demands
00:23:36answers, now the center where he was detained becomes the center
00:23:40of a controversy as well,
00:23:42we'll be back.

00:26:47The death of a Salvadoran this weekend week, while in the custody
00:26:51of Elice, of the US immigration and customs enforcement, reinforces
00:26:54the criticism about the conditions in which migrants
