340: Expat News: Trump Sends Rubio To Panama & Javier Milei’s Meme Coin Scandal


Listen Later

Trump sending Marco Rubio down to Panama, a shocking election annulment in Romania, and a surprising new fast-track citizenship program are only a few of the big news stories that have been piling up since the latest edition of Expat News more than two months ago. 
This week, we are changing up the Expat News format a bit as I invite my dear friend and colleague Marc Clair to join me as my resident “news man" and make these episodes a little more of a back-and-forth format. 
Enjoy this breakdown of the latest headlines as Marc and I dive deep into all the geopolitical shifts and citizenship program changes on this latest edition of Expat News!
 
TODAY’S EDITION OF EXPAT NEWS:
  • Listen in as Marc and I analyze Trump’s strategy behind sending Marco Rubio to Panama and what it means for US-Panama relations.
  • Tune in as we break down the annulled election in Romania—was this Brussels flexing its power over an uncooperative leader?
  • Find out why Panama’s new associate membership in Mercosur could change the game for residency and trade opportunities in Latin America.
  • Hear my take on Javier Milei’s disastrous endorsement of a crypto coin—what was he thinking?!
  • Learn about New Zealand’s struggling investor visa program—why has it failed so badly?
  • Unpack Spain’s insane 100% tax on non-EU real estate buyers—are they intentionally pushing expats out?
  • Discover Sierra Leone’s intriguing new fast-track citizenship program—could this be a sleeper opportunity?
  • Explore why the UAE’s new Golden Visa for content creators might just be a brilliant marketing move.
