NUEVO: El yerno de Trump, Jared Kushner, dice que en las pláticas para llegar al #TMEC en 2018, Jesús Seade, el entonces representante de AMLO, cometió uno de los PEORES errores de negociación que ha visto.

Seade me dijo que disputa esa historia.

HILO

bloomberglinea.com/2022/08/03/jar… La historia viene en el nuevo libro que escribió Kushner, el asesor sénior y yerno del expresidente.

Se llama “Breaking History: A White House Memoir.”

SCOOP: Blackstone CEO Stephen @Schwarzman played a pivotal -- and, until now, little-known -- role in securing a 2018 deal between Trump and @JustinTrudeau to preserve free trade among US, Canada and Mexico, Jared Kushner writes in a new book.

Mexico today announced plans to use $6.4b of its rainy day oil fund to make up for oil revenue shortfalls and avoid cutting spending more after the economy stagnated.

In practicality, this is using the FEIP to support Pemex -- something AMLO said on Monday he DIDN'T want to do.. Using half the FEIP fund to help Pemex looks like Arturo Herrera convincing AMLO to accept his idea.

Tapping the FEIP was Herrera's plan. He floated it, promoted it, championed it. AMLO worried it would signal panic.

Herrera today looks a LOT happier than when he was named...

Trump Tweet seems like it could be a response to our exclusive story yesterday.

Again, Mexican sources tell me it simply ISN'T true that AMLO agreed to things NOT included in Friday night's joint statement, specifically Trump's assertion of a promise to increase farm purchasing Farm goods in Mexico are typically bought by PRIVATE consumers, NOT the government.

So beyond sources telling us it DIDN'T happen, it's unclear how a government commitment to buy more ag exports would WORK in practicality. Not clear it's a commitment AMLO could even make...

SCOOP: Mexico DIDN'T agree to buy more U.S. farm product as part of a tariff deal, sources tell me and @nncattan, contradicting @realDonaldTrump's claim.

Hard for Mexico to do MORE on that front. It's already the top buyer of yellow corn from Midwest states that voted for Trump The full story here.

Sources tell us that ALL the agreements reached this week were contained in Friday night's declaration.

THIS JUST IN: AMLO politely but clearly dodged my question on whether he's rethinking Texcoco airport cancellation.

Went through long list of spending plans, then talked futbol, boxing.

Reminded of the question, said "Let's talk about it tomorrow," and walked away from podium Here's the sequence of my questions, and the President's response, so you can watch for yourselves and read the tea leaves for what the reluctance to answer the airport question means...
