Sanctions and Chicken

Welcome back to the Domingo Brief! A Singapore shipping giant deleted an entire country from its global map. It did that one day after Washington sanctioned the container terminal it had run for fifteen years, and two days after a cargo of American food aid docked at that same terminal. Elsewhere, a president ordered his army not to set out a single chair for the man replacing him, and one country passed a law eight days early and now pays a lower tariff than every neighbor. Plus: workers in one economy can now be paid in a currency their own government doesn't print, an economy most investors wrote off pulled in $100M, and 600 products sit one ratification away from entering Canada duty-free.

Each Sunday issue of the Domingo Brief curates the most important stories shaping Latin America — economics, politics, business, and markets — with original Latinometrics data analysis on every story, plus venture-capital and startup funding updates, a trivia question, and curated reading picks sourced from the best local and international outlets.
