La TerceraIndependent🔒ProgressiveFactual 95Objective 7520 days agoChile's Agriculture Minister, Jaime Campos, defended his comments criticizing the 12.5% tariff imposed by the United States on Chilean agricultural products. The U.S. introduced the measure on July 24, citing concerns over forced labor in Chilean agriculture. Campos called the U.S. justification 'absurd' and accused Washington of acting arbitrarily, violating trade agreements.

La TerceraIndependent🔒ProgressiveFactual 90Objective 7513 days ago No alignment or submissionThe article discusses Chile's decision to withdraw from the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), ending 55 years of membership. This move has surprised many observers who follow Chile's foreign policy and raises concerns about the current government's approach. The author argues that this decision reflects a risky shift in foreign policy, breaking from Chile's traditional diplomatic stance since returning to democracy. The NAM was originally formed during the Cold War to provide a platform for smaller nations not aligned with either superpower, and Chile's participation helped foster South-South cooperation at low cost. The withdrawal is seen as a sign of alignment with the United States, which is viewed as increasingly risky, especially amid rising U.S. tariffs on Chilean goods. The article warns that such decisions lack broad political consensus and could undermine Chile's credibility in international relations, setting a dangerous precedent for future governments.
