Read More2475 – Trump’s Tariff Thrashing; Bukele Goes To Washington w/ Roberto Lovato
It’s Monday, the first day of an Emma-jority week, so buckle up! First, Emma breaks down the latest tariff chaos, with Howard Lutnik and Peter Navarro singing different tunes in explaining why goods like computers, cell phones and the much coveted chips are being exempted from the tariffs. But Navarro doesn’t want you tall them exemptions though just FYI. After that, Salvadoran-American author, activist and educator Roberto Lovato joins Emma here to give us some context to Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s visit to Washington. During his meeting with Trump, Bukele makes it clear that he doesn’t plan to return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, despite that the Trump administration has already admitted he was sent to a prison in El Salvador due to an administrative error and that SCOTUS already ordered the Trump administration to make an effort to bring him Abrego Garcia home. Roberto helps contextualize this horrifying new dystopia in history of U.S. – Salvadoran relations. As Roberto points out, Bukele’s rise and relationship with Trump is a sign not just of the U.S.’s impact on the Central American country but also visa versa. Check out Roberto’s book “Unforgetting: A Memoir of Family, Migration, Gangs, and Revolution”: https://bookshop.org/p/books/unforgetting-a-memoir-of-family-migration-gangs-and-revolution-in-the-americas-roberto-lovato/14340061 In the Fun Half, Emma checks in on David Rubin and his attempts to understand U.S. – China relations. Emma also breaks the news of the arrest of Palestinian Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi, who was at an appointment where he was set to become a U.S. citizen. We also learn about all the countries Russ has lived in (Chile, Argentina, Colombia & Brazil, kind of).
