Political upheaval in France, Trump’s threats against the BRICS nations, and Panama’s historic move to join Mercosur—there’s no shortage of major headlines to unpack in the month or so since the last edition of Expat News. The geopolitical winds have been shifting rapidly - from the collapse of Macron’s fragile political coalition to the sudden fall of Assad’s regime in Syria. Meanwhile, Panama’s new associate membership in South America’s trade bloc signals exciting opportunities for investors and businesses looking to expand into the region. This is just a taste of what's ahead as we dive into all the news relevant to the expat world on this week’s Expat News!

  • Tune in as I react to Trump’s threats against the BRICS countries and the absurd tariffs he has proposed should they proceed with a BRICS currency.
  • Find out how Panama’s new associate membership in Mercosur creates opportunities for trade and investment in the region.
  • Hear me analyze how the sudden collapse of Bashar Assad in Syria might affect the Turkey-Russia relations within BRICS.
