Esto es mentira (que no sorprende, mirando quien habla). Nosotros en @WSJ investigamos y Efecto Cocuyo no recibe plata de USAID. Lo evitan por un tema de protección, así como otras organizaciones que operan en esta y en otras dictaduras.
El primer vicepresidente del Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, señaló que la periodista Luz Mely Reyes, directora de Efecto Cocuyo, recibía dinero de la Agencia de los Estados Unidos para el Desarrollo Internacional (Usaid) y opina según lo que le paguen.

Trump blames Canada (along with Mexico) for fentanyl. But Canadian officials dispute Trump’s claims. The U.S. Border Patrol seized 46 pounds of the opioid at the northern border last year, compared with 21,000 pounds seized at the Mexican border.

Canada and Mexico will suffer severe economic blows from the tariffs Trump announced on Saturday. Their strategy is to make sure Americans feel the pain too. @WSJ report.

Colombia’s president posts exact location of camp used by fighters of the cocaine-fueled ELN milicia. This would be considered a state secret. So it seems he made the location public … because he can.
