ARGENTINA IS LEFT OUT OF THE BLACKLIST OF TARIFFS BY PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
Trump's tariffs: Argentina is left out of the blacklist and has "serious possibilities" of a Free Trade Agreement
The government of Donald Trump began to implement tariffs on imported products and is considering focusing on the ten countries that generate the most trade deficit. Argentina, for the moment, will not be affected by the decision and is believed to have a high chance of reaching a free trade agreement (FTA) with the United States.
This is highlighted in a report from AmCham Argentina, the American Chamber of Commerce in Argentina, from which it is evident that the priority of the United States is focused on raising tariffs on the ten countries with which it has the largest negative bilateral balance.
On January 20th, a significant rise may come as President Donald TRUMP takes power in the presidency of the United States of America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. We saw it on the day he was declared the winner; all cryptocurrencies increased by up to 15, 20, and 30%. 📊📉
During his campaign, he promised that cryptocurrencies would operate in a more favorable environment, indicating that he would eliminate several regulations issued by the previous government.
Another relevant player in this context is Elon Musk, the billionaire and Trump ally, who has also shown himself to be an active defender of these assets.
Brazilian authorities seized more than 100 kilograms of gold in Boa Vista, Roraima state, on Monday as they advance in investigations to determine the origin and destination of this expensive mineral.
The Brazilian government reported on its website about the gold seizure. It specified that the events took place on Monday afternoon on the BR 401 highway, where the Federal Highway Police of Roraima intercepted a vehicle.
As part of a routine procedure, the agents detained a vehicle driven by a man traveling with his wife and a baby. From the beginning, inconsistencies were noted in the driver's documentation, and a small amount of gold was found.

A restaurant in Mexico City spoke out against the sexist remarks of Javier Hernández, a forward for Chivas, after announcing a promotion in which they give a 14 percent discount to diners who block the striker on Instagram.
"We are in favor of equity and closing the gender gap. Send us a screenshot blocking ch14_ on IG and we'll give you a 14% discount on your order," was the promotion launched by Gori Gori Ramen through its social media channels.
Russia that had been inactive for at least 400 years erupted this Sunday after centuries, following the powerful 8.8 earthquake that shook the country days ago.
According to scientists, the magma cone ejected a cloud of ash several kilometers high. Its awakening occurred in the remote and almost uninhabited region of Kamchatka, following the seismic movements of last week.
Named Krasheninnikov, the volcano erupted for the first time in "at least 400 years," reported the Kronotsky Nature Reserve in a statement, the site of the geological structure. Afterward, it sent volcanic ash up to four miles into the sky.
This prompted the evacuation of reserve workers. However, they reassured people by stating that it is too far from cities to pose a danger to humans.
Vsevolod Yaklovev, the interim director of the park, indicated that the eruption of the volcano was an "exciting and fascinating event." He also mentioned that Krasheninnikov was among the eight active volcanoes in the reserve.
Volcanic activity began at 6:00 am local time on this August 3rd. According to The New York Times, reserve personnel, while conducting a research trip to the cone, observed gas and steam emerging from the crater, prompting a quick evacuation.
In July 2022, Shanteari Young, owner of a daycare in Maryland, was arrested after shooting her husband, James Weems, a former police officer, upon discovering that he was abusing minors at her childcare center. Weems was sentenced to life in prison in 2024.
Young received a four-year sentence, double the recommended amount, which generated outrage among her supporters. During the trial, she testified against Weems and legally changed her last name. Her case became a symbol of the gaps in the judicial system regarding child abuse.
After more than three years in prison, she was released in 2025 and transferred to a reintegration center. Today, she works for the protection of children and seeks to rebuild her life in Maryland.
With his outrageous videos on Instagram, "Vampirach" is on the lips of almost all Cubans. The character portrayed by Sandro Castro -grandson of the leader of the revolution, Fidel Castro- entertains some, irritates others, and continues to cause a stir on the island.
Disguised as a monk or the vampire Vampirach, made up as a kitten or sporting a Barça t-shirt, this 33-year-old, with 120,000 followers, usually publishes sketches filled with poorly acted, simplistic jokes.
And from time to time, he ironizes about the difficulties faced by the island, which is plunged into a deep crisis with shortages of food and medicine, as well as daily blackouts and lack of fuel.
Rescue experts who participated in the emblematic rescue of the 33 miners in 2010 joined the search operation for five missing workers after a collapse at the El Teniente mine, located in central Chile, this Friday. The accident occurred on Thursday afternoon and also left one worker dead and nine others injured.
The mine, operated by the state-owned National Copper Corporation (Codelco), has faced harsh criticism from workers and unions, who denounce poor working conditions and a series of incidents in recent years. In front of the entrance of the site, in the town of Machalí - about 130 kilometers south of Santiago - family members and employees of contracting companies have gathered, hopeful for a successful operation like the one in 2010 that rescued 33 miners alive in Copiapó after 69 days trapped.
"The specialized high-risk work team is in full coordination with the rescue brigades of the El Teniente Division to reach the location where the five missing individuals might be," explained subprefect Juan Reyes Gutiérrez to the press.
The causes of the collapse have not yet been officially confirmed. The initial hypotheses suggest that the collapse may have been triggered by a seismic event generated during a drilling operation in the underground sector known as Teniente 8, at a depth of 1.2 meters.
The separation between Daddy Yankee and Mireddys González has continued as a legal battle. The artist has filed multiple lawsuits against his ex-wife and his sister-in-law for alleged unauthorized transfers from his companies to personal accounts, totaling one hundred million dollars.
Now, the singer (who is focused on Christian music) demands an additional 12 million through another lawsuit, for the alleged destruction of emails and key documents related to his musical and business legacy. According to this order, the actions were said to be intentional and carried out just before losing administrative control of the companies.
While Daddy Yankee seeks to protect what he built over the years, this chapter of his personal and professional life seems far from over.
After the devastating tsunami of 2011, Japan built more than 400 km of seawalls, some up to 14.7 m high, to protect vulnerable areas. Dikes (berms, retaining walls, defense barriers) were also reinforced.
In the last few hours, there was a strong earthquake of magnitude 8.8 in Russia, a tsunami alert was issued for Japan, and waves of up to 1.3 meters high arrived. The walls have helped to stop these waves, giving time for evacuations.
From the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) it was determined this Friday, August 1, that Prosecutor Karim Khan must withdraw from the Venezuela case.
According to the ruling, there are "reasonable grounds to believe" that Khan has incurred a conflict of interest in the investigation of crimes against humanity committed in Venezuela by officials of Nicolás Maduro's government.
It was revealed that the judges of the ICC concluded that Karim Khan must withdraw from the case. Therefore, they gave a deadline of three weeks to present his formal excuse, in accordance with Rule 35 of the Court's Regulations, as reported by Monitoreamos.
The decision comes after the Arcadia Foundation submitted a request for recusal due to the conflict of interest arising from a "familial, professional, and hierarchical relationship" between Prosecutor Khan and his sister-in-law, Venkateswari Alagendra, who has represented Maduro's government.
controlled by the ruling party Nuevas Ideas (NI), approved this Thursday a constitutional reform that enables indefinite presidential re-election and extends the presidential term to six years. The initiative was sanctioned without prior legislative study and with procedural waiver, with 57 votes in favor from the ruling bloc and its allies.
The reforms eliminate the second electoral round and shorten the current presidential term, which will end in 2027, to unify the elections with the legislative and municipal ones. Articles prohibiting immediate re-election were also removed, despite President Nayib Bukele himself stating in 2024 that he did not see the need to modify the Constitution.
Opponents such as Marcela Villatoro (Arena) and Claudia Ortiz (VAMOS) denounced the process as a blow to democracy and accused the ruling party of seeking to perpetuate itself in power under a legal facade.
Several Venezuelan non-governmental organizations warned this Thursday, July 31, about the "dismantling" of the electoral system following the presidential elections on July 28, 2024, in which the CNE, controlled by chavismo, proclaimed Nicolás Maduro the winner without publishing disaggregated results, which they qualify as an "express violation" of the law.
The Citizen Electoral Network (REC) reported that the National Electoral Council committed irregularities such as the omission of audits and non-compliance with post-election regulations. It also accused the state of violently repressing protests that arose due to the discrepancy between the official results and the data collected by the opposition.
The report warns about the increasing interference of figures like Jorge Rodríguez and Diosdado Cabello in the technical functions of the CNE, which would consolidate their subordination. The REC concludes that the country faces an authoritarian model where elections are used as a mechanism of control.
Happy Gilmore 2, starring Adam Sandler, has garnered an impressive number of views for Netflix. According to Variety magazine, the film accumulated a record 46.7 million views in its first three days after its release on July 25, making it the most successful launch in the history of the platform in the United States.
"During the week of July 21 to 27, the film generated 46.7 million views in three days (...). This makes this launch the largest opening weekend in the United States for a Netflix film, as well as the best performance to date for a Sandler movie," the article explains.
This performance even surpasses that of other previous productions starring the actor for the platform, such as Murder Mystery, Hubie Halloween, or The Week Of.
The Drug Enforcement Administration of the United States (DEA) reminded of the official reward poster of up to 25 million dollars for information leading to the capture of Nicolás Maduro and Diosdado Cabello.
In a message on X, the DEA recalled that last Friday the Office of Foreign Assets Control, of the Department of the Treasury, sanctioned the "Cartel of the Suns" as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist.
"Send information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of the Venezuelans Nicolás Maduro Moros, Diosdado Cabello Rondón, and Vladimir Padrino López to CartelSoles [email protected]," the DEA stated.
Sam Altman, CEO of the American company OpenAI, stated last week that the conversations users have with the ChatGPT chatbot are not as private as one would expect and do not have the necessary legal protection.
<<People talk about the most personal things in their lives with ChatGPT (...). They use it as if it were a therapist or a life coach (...). And right now, if you talk to a therapist, a lawyer, or a doctor about those issues, there is legal privilege: there is doctor-patient confidentiality, legal confidentiality. But we have not yet resolved that for when you talk to ChatGPT>>,” Altman said in an interview for the podcast This Past Weekend.
In addition, he detailed that this lack of protection could have serious repercussions in legal situations, as conversations could be required by a court and used against the user.
<<<If you are going to talk to ChatGPT about your most sensitive issues and then there is a lawsuit, they could demand that we reveal the conversations. And I think that is a disaster. We should have the same concept of privacy for conversations with artificial intelligence that we have with a therapist,” he insisted.
In this sense, Altman advocated for a debate on how the laws around this issue will be interpreted. <<I think we need to address this issue with some urgency,” he urged. less
MEGA EARTHQUAKE OF 8.7 IN RUSSIA: THE WATER IS RECEDING IN THE BAY OF PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY
A massive earthquake of magnitude 8.7 struck the eastern coast of Kamchatka minutes ago. It is the strongest on the planet since the 9.0 in Japan in 2011. The epicenter is 136 km from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, only 18 km deep.
! Witnesses report that the water is receding rapidly in the bay, exposing the seafloor a classic sign of an imminent tsunami. Russian authorities have ordered immediate evacuation: "DO NOT approach the coast UNDER ANY circumstances to view the tsunami".
ACTIVE ALERTS: Tsunami Warning for the Aleutian Islands of Alaska and all of Hawaii. Tsunami Watch for THE ENTIRE west coast of the US from California to Alaska. Japan expects waves of up to 3 meters. The first waves could reach California at 1:15 AM local time.
ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL:
Shemya, Alaska: 4:46 PM
Unalaska: 6:45 PM
Hawaii: next 3 hours
California: after midnight
This is the eighth largest earthquake recorded in history. The Kamchatka Peninsula is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, the same area that generated the devastating tsunami of 2004. Waves can last up to 45 minutes and surround entire islands.
In Switzerland, it is illegal to have only one guinea pig. It is considered animal abuse because they are social beings and feel lonely.
By The guinea pig - also called cuy, curí, or Indian pig - is a round, furry rodent small enough to fit in one hand.
It is not surprising that, given these characteristics - and the considerable level of cuteness that this species carries wherever it goes - the guinea pig is commonly adopted as a pet.
One country in particular legislates the ownership of these rodents in private homes. The law that does so determines that it is illegal to have only one guinea pig. What? Why?
Where is it forbidden to have only one guinea pig? The country in question is Switzerland. Since 2008, its Animal Protection Ordinance prohibits having solitary guinea pigs, as they are very social animals that depend on companionship. Adopting one automatically implies adopting another simultaneously.
The Federal Office of Food Safety and Veterinary Affairs of the country confirmed the reasoning behind the law, stating that the quality of life of these animals greatly depends on the presence or absence of a guinea pig companion.

Guinea pigs are not the only animals included in this recommendation. Other species that "must be kept in groups of at least two animals"
are:
Mice.
Gerbils.
Japanese quails.
Macaws.
Parrots.
Canaries.
Another interesting fact: it is stipulated that domestic rabbits cannot be alone during their first eight weeks, and afterwards they must remain in groups whenever possible. If that is not feasible, they at least have to be able to hear and smell other rabbits.
