Hoping that the Biden WH meeting happening now on Iran's drone attack on Israel produces resolve that will stop this from triggering a regional war. Clearly Netanyahu is ready to have one. That's his new leverage over Biden.

A pleasure to join alejandro werner and Michael Reid this afternoon at Georgetown University's Georgetown Americas Institute to discuss the 2024 Mexican and U.S. elections, the electoral and political trends in both nations, and the implications for U.S.- #Mexico bilateral relations.

Traducción: el Presidente Petro quiere controlar todo, una formula para el atraso
