In rare challenge to Trump, several countries are trying to block his nominee to lead the Inter-American Development Bank.

Diplomats from several Latin American and European countries are trying to delay next month’s vote on President Trump’s nominee to lead a key international development bank, hoping to push the decision into next year, when a new U.S. president could be in office.

A lawyer, Claver-Carone has little banking experience, and his appointment is being seen as part of Trump’s effort to put Americans in charge of key international organizations. He is also very close to Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio.In a rare move to confront the Trump administration, diplomats from several Latin American and European countries have come out in opposition to Claver-Carone and called for the September annual assembly to be postponed indefinitely.

The European Union, which holds an advisory role with the IDB, also declared its opposition to Claver-Carone, saying the position should be held by a Latin American national and urging the election be put off. NSC officials presented a list of an additional dozen, mostly small Latin American and Caribbean countries that support Claver-Carone.“Arranging a boycott is the way to prevent the election” of Claver-Carone, said Mauricio Silva, who retired last year as the bank’s executive director for Central America.

“There has to be independence, especially from an American administration that has been very polarizing toward Latin America,” Silva said.In an op-ed essay published in several U.S. and Latin American newspapers, Claver-Carone said he could strengthen U.S. commitment to the region and would promote a State Department program called that advocates infrastructure projects and other private investment to improve conditions in Latin America.

Trump Slaughters Dozens Of American Troops In Hopes Of Cashing In On Russian BountiesBAGRAM, AFGHANISTAN—Following intelligence reports that Moscow offered to pay Taliban-linked militants to kill coalition forces in Afghanistan, President Donald Trump reportedly slaughtered dozens of U.S. service members Monday in hopes of cashing in on the bounties. “Once I heard Russia was paying out these six-figure sums for dead American soldiers, I knew I couldn’t leave that kind of money lying on the table,” said Trump, remarking that his position as commander in chief gave him full access to U.S. military movements, which meant he had no trouble selecting targets and taking out the troops while they slept. “We weren’t about to walk away from a deal like that. Not on my watch. All we had to do is send in some planes, bomb a few of our bases, and tell the Russians where to send the payment. Believe me, no other president has handled Russia the way I have. No one.” At press time, Republican lawmakers defended Trump’s decision, stating that the president’s methods might be unconventional, but collecting bounties placed on the heads of American troops was good for the economy.\n Hey askin for help is anyone willing to donate a $1 to my sister, nephew & I, I lost both my jobs due to COVID I filed for unemployment but waitin for the benefit and we dont have any food & bills comin up if you can help we would be super grateful Venmo or Cashapp MattMartins147 ...it is what it is...
