 Petro and Trump: The Olive Branch. 

After Trump warned that Colombia could face military action, and following nearly a year of rhetorical clashes, he welcomed Gustavo Petro to the White House. Although no concrete agreements were reported, both Trump and Colombian diplomats described the meeting as “great.” How does the relationship between Washington and Bogotá stand now, and what impact will this have on Latin America?

Bad Bunny and Latinidad at the Super Bowl. Benito Martínez Ocasio, Bad Bunny, arrives at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show as the first Latino to win the Grammy for Album of the Year, delivering a political message aimed directly at the Trump era: “We’re not savages. We’re not animals. We are human beings, and we are Americans.” His performance sparked a national debate on identity, racism, and belonging. Who is Bad Bunny? What happened during those pivotal minutes? How did the NFL respond? How does this debate shape the broader controversy over immigration and militarization?

The New Epstein Files. Millions of newly released documents from the Epstein case shed further light on the global network of wealthy businessmen and influential figures linked to the financier and convicted sex offender. The revelations have shaken elites in other countries, yet few prominent figures in the United States have been called to testify. What are the biggest disclosures? Who appears in the new records? The Clintons have agreed to testify—who else could be summoned?
