La presidenta de México, Claudia Sheinbaum, defendió este martes a la gobernadora del estado fronterizo de Baja California, Marina del Pilar Ávila, luego de la difusión de un audio de una conversación que la funcionaria del oficialista partido Morena sostuvo con supuestos funcionarios de Estados Unidos.

Sheinbaum se refirió al tema durante su conferencia de prensa diaria, un día después de que el periodista Héctor de Mauleón difundió la grabación y aseguró que Ávila ofreció dar información a autoridades de Estados Unidos a cambio de que no se presenten cargos penales en su contra en ese país, algo que ella niega.

Preguntada por el asunto, la presidenta dijo que no ve alguna posible irregularidad en la conversación de Ávila y planteó como contraste un incidente reciente en Chihuahua, otro estado fronterizo, donde dos agentes de la Agencia Central de Inteligencia (CIA, por sus siglas en inglés) murieron en un accidente automovilístico cuando regresaban de un operativo antidrogas. Lo ocurrido en abril en Chihuahua, donde gobierna el opositor Partido Acción Nacional (PAN), ha generado numerosos reclamos del Gobierno de Sheinbaum a las autoridades locales, con el argumento de que no informaron sobre la presencia de agencias extranjeras.

“Bueno, es diferente el caso de Chihuahua. ¿Por qué? Porque en el caso de Chihuahua está demostrado que había agentes de una agencia operando en territorio, eso es una violación flagrante a la Ley de Seguridad Nacional”, dijo Sheinbaum.

“Esta llamada de teléfono que se da a conocer ayer por un periodista —por cierto, no sé cómo llegan estas llamadas de teléfono, quién quiere filtrar esta información, vale la pena preguntarlo como periodistas— es una llamada que ella (Ávila) tiene con personas que ni siquiera sabemos quiénes son, si pertenecen al Gobierno de Estados Unidos o no, si son de alguna agencia, y ella da una explicación de bajo qué condiciones habló con ellos. Entonces, si hay que investigar, que se investigue, pero son dos cosas completamente distintas”, insistió.

Durante la misma conferencia de prensa, el secretario de Seguridad federal, Omar García Harfuch, consideró que no hay indicios de que Álvila haya cometido un delito.

“En el audio, lo que se escucha, y lo escuchamos todos, es cuando dice de qué pudiera dar información, si de las mesas de seguridad estatales o de qué, no está diciendo de ninguna manera algo que sea sensible porque, repito, esas mesas de seguridad estatales no son tan cerradas, digamos”, dijo el funcionario.

“Se abriría una investigación si hubiera un delito, pero en el audio sinceramente no se infiere ningún tipo de delito”, concluyó.

En el audio difundido se escucha a Ávila hablar con dos hombres, uno en español y otro en inglés, sobre la posibilidad de que se presenten cargos penales en su contra en Estados Unidos. De Mauleón asegura que Ávila ofreció al Buró Federal de Investigaciones (FBI) darle información a cambio de que dichos cargos no se presenten.

En un comunicado publicado el lunes, Ávila dijo que la grabación exhibe momentos de una conversación privada que tuvo “con personas que se presentaron como agentes o intermediarios de autoridades estadounidenses, sin acreditar formalmente dicha representación”, negó haber cometido algún acto ilegal y aseguró que la colaboración de su Gobierno con funcionarios extranjeros “se realiza dentro del marco legal, mediante canales oficiales y con pleno respeto a las atribuciones de cada institución”.

“La gobernadora rechazó las interpretaciones construidas a partir de fragmentos aislados de la conversación y reiteró que continuará concentrada en trabajar

(CNN) — President Donald Trump shocked Gulf allies and many of his own aides with his plan to impose a toll on the Strait of Hormuz, touching off an international scramble to convince him to reverse course on his demand, several sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

The abrupt announcement on Monday came despite months of warnings from Trump’s own advisers not to pursue the idea, for fear it would undermine the US’ own war aims — as well as validate Iran’s purported plans to charge fees in the strait, which the administration repeatedly characterized as illegal.

But as he surveyed the intensifying struggle over the strait that had drawn the US back into full-fledged war, a frustrated Trump pressed ahead anyway.

“The U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as ‘THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,’” he wrote on Truth Social Monday morning, vowing to charge a 20% toll on all cargo shipped through the strait.

The surprise directive sparked a 24-hour sprint within the administration and across the Middle East to decode the specifics of a proposal that Trump had seemingly come up with on the spot. And while he reversed his plans on Tuesday, the episode further underscored the freewheeling, transactional nature of Trump’s approach to foreign policy, even in the midst of a prolonged war that he has no clear idea how to bring to an end.

Inside the White House on Monday, aides rushed to flesh out the logistics for creating such an unprecedented tolling system, including determining who would pay the fees and how they would be collected. Many officials and outside analysts initially assumed shippers would foot the bill, but the effort was further complicated by another Trump declaration later on Monday that US allies in the Gulf would be paying instead.

Those same Gulf allies’ leaders, meanwhile, were working frantically to get Trump on the phone in time to talk him out of the idea altogether.

By Tuesday morning, the flurry of appeals from nations — including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Qatar — had succeeded. Instead of the US collecting tolls, Trump announced that the countries had pledged to pour new, undefined sums into US investments.

The Gulf nations have already committed to invest trillions of dollars into the US, though it remains unclear how much of that they will actually spend over the next several years.

“I put it out yesterday, I thought it was good,” Trump said Tuesday of his unprecedented tolling plan. “I was called by different people, different countries, kings and emirs, and all of the people that we all know and we all love. And they’ve been, frankly, they’ve been very strong partners. And they said we’d love to do it a different way.”

A White House official echoed Trump’s public remarks, saying that given Iran’s violations of the agreement to keep the strait open, the president “has always kept all options on the table, and he wisely determined that the United States should be reimbursed for our many years of protecting ships transiting this waterway. Ultimately, our Gulf allies offered to provide investments into the United States, which the President found preferable.”

Since returning the US to active conflict la

Una persona que huía de agentes federales de inmigración en St. Augustine, Florida, la madrugada del martes fue atropellada por un camión tráiler y murió, según la Patrulla de Carreteras de Florida.

El incidente ocurrió alrededor de las 6:40 a.m. durante un encuentro con agentes de Investigaciones de Seguridad Nacional (HSI, por sus siglas en inglés) y del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE, por sus siglas en inglés), informó la patrulla de carreteras en un comunicado.

Cuatro ocupantes de un vehículo huyeron y uno cruzó corriendo la Carretera Estatal 16 y “se metió en la trayectoria del camión tráiler”, dijo a CNN el sargento Dylan Bryan.

Aunque el conductor se detuvo e intentó prestar ayuda, la persona murió en el lugar, dijo Bryan.

La patrulla de carreteras está investigando el incidente.

CNN se ha puesto en contacto con el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional para solicitar comentarios.
