Cleared for Takeoff

Welcome back to the Domingo Brief! A sanctioned tanker, FBI agents, and 2,010 pardoned prisoners — all on the same island, all in the same week. A $16B judgment disappeared in one ruling. The first supersonic fighter ever built in Latin America left the hangar. A three-week-old presidency is already under siege. Plus: the US locks a Chinese competitor out of a strategic mine, one country's foreign investment triples overnight on a sector nobody expected, and a $3.2B deal makes a Central American capital the beer industry's newest innovation lab.

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.
