It is hard to take the Trump administration seriously when it claims that it sent the National Guard and the Marines to Los Angeles because there was a “migrant invasion,” and that “this is a fight to save civilization.”Really? Despite the Los Angeles protesters’ own blunders, which I’ll get to in a minute, both assertions — the first one by Trump, the second one by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller — are ridiculous.

The conflict in Iran has triggered speculation that soaring global oil prices could deliver a windfall for Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia and other Latin American oil producers. But surprisingly, most oil experts say that’s not likely to happen. Analysts from Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan and other financial institutions say oil prices could surge beyond $100 a barrel if Iran were to interrupt oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, which handles about 25% of world oil shipments.

Resulta difícil tomar en serio a la administración del presidente Donald Trump cuando afirma que envió a la Guardia Nacional y a la Infantería de Marina a Los Ángeles porque hubo una “invasión de migrantes” y que “esta es una lucha para salvar la civilización”. ¿En serio? A pesar de los errores garrafales de los manifestantes angelinos, a los que me referiré en breve, ambas afirmaciones (la primera de Trump y la segunda del subjefe de gabinete de la Casa Blanca, Stephen Miller) son ridículas.
