🇪🇨🗳📹 — Ecuadorian conservatives take the streets of the country to celebrate Daniel Noboa's victory

🇪🇨💬 — Daniel Noboa: "Ecuador has already chosen a different path… Ecuador does not want to return to the past."

🇪🇨🗳❗️ — It's official!: The National Electoral Commitee of Ecuador announced the victory of Daniel Noboa in the presidential ballot, confirming him as elected president of the South American Nation.

Such a thing is a major defeat for the Russian/Chinese-backed Puebla Group that wanted to oust Noboa from the leadership position of Ecuador

Ecuador is also a hotspot for Trump's administration anti-cartel strategy, as the Andean country is the entry door and final logistics point for Chinese triads & Mexican cartels smuggle drugs from Asia to US-Mexico

🌐🌹⁉️🇪🇨 — Consulting teams from the Puebla Group urged participating governments (aligned with the political left in Latin America) not to immediately issue statements congratulating Daniel Noboa on his victory in Ecuador’s presidential elections:

🇧🇴 Bolivia
🇧🇷 Brazil
🇨🇱 Chile
🇨🇴 Colombia
🇨🇺 Cuba
🇪🇸 Spain
🇲🇽 Mexico
🇵🇪 Peru
🇺🇾 Uruguay
🇻🇪 Venezuela

🇺🇸🇪🇺 Trump: "We have a deficit with the EU of $350 billion. And it's gonna disappear fast. And one of the reasons and one of the ways that can disappear easily and quickly is they're gonna have to buy their energy from us."

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Trump says no exemption for iPhones and other Chinese-made electronics — suggests new tariff coming

President Trump settled the debate over the tariffs on iPhones and other Chinese-made devices — saying that there is no “exemption” and that new duties are coming.

“NOBODY is getting ‘off the hook,'” Trump said on Truth Social Sunday. “There was no Tariff ‘exception’ announced on Friday. These products are subject to the existing 20% Fentanyl Tariffs, and they are just moving to a different Tariff ‘bucket.’”

“We are taking a look at Semiconductors and the WHOLE ELECTRONICS SUPPLY CHAIN in the upcoming National Security Tariff Investigations.”

🇩🇪 Germany has admitted 8.4 million people -- equivalent to a 10% of its pre-existing population -- in just 15 years. In American terms, this would be like four New Yorks. This turbocharged large-scale demographic change is unsustainable and is not, in fact, being sustained.
