The News With Jorge Gestoso
In today's podcast, Jorge Gestoso discusses several key news stories:
1. **U.S. Elections**: The recent democratic victory in the U.S. elections serves as a referendum against President Trump's second term, highlighted by the historic win of Soran Mandani as mayor of New York, a Muslim immigrant and self-identified socialist, symbolizing the empowerment of migrant communities. Trump's approval rating has dropped to 37%, and he faces a Republican defeat with significant Democratic wins in Virginia, New Jersey, and California.
2. **Colombia's Reaction**: Colombian President Gustavo Petro criticized the postponement of the Summit of the Americas, originally scheduled for December in the Dominican Republic and now rescheduled for 2026. He attributed the delay to the ideological bias of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who sought to exclude Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela from the meeting.
3. **20th Anniversary of ALCA**: This November marks the 20th anniversary of the failure of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (ALCA), a neoliberal project promoted by the U.S. that collapsed during the fourth Summit of the Americas in Mar del Plata, where President George W. Bush faced strong opposition from leaders like Kirchner, Lula, Chávez, and Tavares Vázquez.
