ANÁLISIS | Un día ‘surreal’ para Trump en el tribunal puede separar aún más al país

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 13:37:42 GMT

(CNN) — Había dos grandes cosas que temer este martes antes de la trascendental primera comparecencia penal de un expresidente de Estados Unidos.La primera era que, aunque el caso del fiscal del distrito de Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, pudiera citar pruebas sólidas de presuntas irregularidades cometidas por Donald Trump, su teoría jurídica podría resultar demasiado vaga, compleja y parecer demasiado retrotraída a unas elecciones de hace 7 años como para ser fácil de vender al público.La otra era que Trump respondiera con tal furia e incitación que abriera brechas aún más profundas en una nación distanciada por su aberrante presidencia y avivara una nueva agitación que podría dañar aún más instituciones políticas y judiciales vitales.Ambos escenarios se hicieron realidad en un día en que Trump describió como “SURREAL” en un mensaje en las redes sociales enviado mientras se dirigía al tribunal para entregarse. El resultado es que se avecina otro capítulo sombrío e incluso...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 13:37:42 GMT

BRUSSELS — A high-level meeting between U.S. President Joe Biden, European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is tentatively scheduled for October, two EU officials said. The last official EU-U.S. summit was in June 2021, although Biden did attend a meeting of EU leaders in March 2022. Brussels and Washington have been closely cooperating since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February last year, with the transatlantic relationship seemingly back on track after the tumultuous years under former U.S. President Donald Trump. Both sides are also hammering out their differences over the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, which foresees billions in green technology subsidies for North American businesses. The October date coincides with a deadline to find a transatlantic agreement on a long-running dispute over steel and aluminum dating back to Trump’s imposition of tariffs on European imports in 2018. If the two...
