Fearing US Reprisals, Mexico Halts Oil Shipment to Cuba | Libertarian Institute By Will Porter > Mexico’s state oil company, Pemex, has backed out of a planned oil shipment to Cuba, the country’s president appeared to confirm. The move comes after President Donald Trump insisted that “zero” oil would be sent to the island, and follows reports that Washington plans regime change there by the end of the year. > Speaking during her daily press conference on Tuesday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum did not deny earlier reports about the canceled Pemex shipment, which was originally scheduled for sometime in January. > “It is a sovereign decision, and it is made at the time deemed necessary,” she said when asked about the reports, stressing that such shipments are determined by the state oil firm.

Trump's Tariffs Made His Farm Bailouts Inevitable | The Libertarian Institute By Joseph Solis-Mullen > In the comic theater of American politics, few spectacles are as reliably absurd as the utopian promises of protectionism. Donald Trump’s tariffs, hailed by their proponents as a bold strike against foreign exploitation, have instead proven to be a blunt instrument of economic self-sabotage—particularly for the nation’s farmers. From his first administration to the present day these policies have not only disrupted free markets but have necessitated a cascade of government bailouts, turning independent producers into wards of the state. Such interventions are not savvy trade strategy but are classic crony capitalism: politicians picking winners and losers, all while taxpayers foot the bill for the inevitable fallout. > Let’s rewind to Trump’s initial foray into tariff warfare, beginning in 2018. Under the guise of national security and “fair trade”—invoking dusty provisions like Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962—the administration slapped duties on imports ranging from steel and aluminum to a broad array of Chinese goods.
