La Cámara de Representantes de Estados Unidos ha aprobado este martes la inyección de 70.000 millones de dólares más para la ofensiva antiinmigración de la Administración de Donald Trump. Con 214 votos a favor y 212 votos en contra, los congresistas validaron el proyecto de ley de Reconciliación, que el presidente ha promovido para financiar su promesa electoral de llevar a cabo la mayor deportación de la historia.

With four days to go before the ball starts rolling, the three host countries — the United States, Mexico, and Canada — say they have everything ready. Or, more precisely, almost everything. The biggest soccer tournament in history — 48 national teams playing a total of 104 matches — takes place amid various circumstances that complicate organization: the United States remains at war with Iran, President Donald Trump’s strict immigration policies are frightening away many supporters, and FIFA’s dynamic-pricing ticket system has put seats out of reach for much of the fan base.
