US and Mexico’s elimination from the World Cup has crushed demand for the remaining games, with Spain vs. Belgium prices down about 65% (to around 1,100) and Mexico vs. England down about 45% (to around 2,000); venues like Tom’s Watch Bar brace for weaker World Cup days, even as beer sales rise in host cities.
Mexico plans to file criminal complaints with U.S. prosecutors to investigate the deaths of Mexican nationals in ICE custody, escalating diplomatic pressure and aligning with international calls for independent inquiries amid ongoing ICE-related fatalities.
The piece argues that Trump has made Latin America a central, interventionist front of his foreign policy, reviving a Monroe Doctrine-style approach to curb migration, counter drugs, and limit China’s influence. In the short term, this has produced closer security cooperation, cartel pressure, and political wins for allied leaders (e.g., in Argentina, Chile, and Mexico) as well as some reductions in U.S. drug-overdose deaths and irregular migration. However, the long-term risks loom: sovereignty backlash and resentment could undermine U.S. influence, potentially driving regional governments toward China or away from Washington, while ongoing crises in Venezuela, Cuba, and Mexico could test the durability of Trump’s Latin American strategy.)
Toyota announced a $3.6 billion expansion of its San Antonio truck plant to add a second Tacoma assembly line, shifting some production from Mexico to Texas over about four years and creating about 2,000 jobs, with the site nearly doubling in size by 2030. While Toyota says the move reflects regional growth and confidence in the workforce, President Trump framed it as proof tariffs work, though the company did not attribute the expansion to tariffs and cited ongoing USMCA uncertainty as a factor in North American automaking. Toyota will still manufacture some Tacomas and Corolla in Mexico, and the company remains committed to operations in all three countries as trade talks continue.

Toyota will build a $3.6 billion, 2.5-million-square-foot auto plant on its San Antonio campus, set to open by 2030 and create about 2,000 jobs; Tacoma pickup production will move from the Baja California plant in Mexico to the Texas facility when it’s completed, while Tacoma production will continue at Guanajuato, Mexico. A new 500,000-square-foot rear-axle plant is also planned on the site this autumn, with Toyota reaffirming its commitment to Mexico, Canada and the U.S. amid North American trade discussions.
