With forecast models already pointing to storm development in the western Caribbean and unusually high sea surface temperatures for this time of year, the question is not if early storms will appear, but when. In fact, early season activity is becoming more frequent.

Donald Trump and Nayib Bukele are undeniable allies. Beyond sending several hundred Venezuelan migrants — accused with scant evidence of being members of the Tren de Aragua gang — to Bukele’s maximum-security prison, Trump sees a reflection of himself in the Salvadoran leader’s authoritarian approach as he unleashes his machinery to fulfill a promise of the largest deportation effort in U.S. history.

Blackmail as foreign and trade policy. That has been Donald Trump’s approach toward much of the world — especially Latin America. During his first term, he pressured several countries in the region to take responsibility for curbing northbound migration and to accept hundreds of deportees. Now, back in power, he has once again resorted to the strategy that proved so effective for him then — this time to advance his campaign of mass deportations.
