With the issuance of General License Y5, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) extended until September 17 the protection of Citgo, a PDVSA subsidiary considered a strategic asset in Venezuelan debt litigation.

In this regard, OFAC extended the restriction on creditors taking action against assets linked to the PDVSA 2020 bond.

The new license states that “except as provided in paragraph (b) of this general license, as of September 17, 2026, all transactions related to, the provision of financing for, and other transactions with the 8.5 percent bond of Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. 2020 that would be prohibited by subsection l(a)(iii) of Executive Order (EO) 13835 of May 21, 2018, as amended by EO 13857 of January 25, 2019, and incorporated into the Venezuela Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR Part 591 (the VSR) are authorized.”

Amazon received a refund of nearly $600 million for tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, which were deemed illegal by the country’s Supreme Court.

The American tech company has stated that it will return some of that money, refunded in the second quarter, to affected customers.

Specifically, it was learned that the Supreme Court invalidated the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), thus obligating the government to refund the money.

The decision to refund customers could generate a reputational advantage for Amazon. Furthermore, it reinforces the narrative that the company prioritizes consumer well-being over additional profit margins.”

The elections will determine the new president of the South American nation, as well as the vice president, governors, and members of Congress.

The PT’s national convention, held in the city of São Paulo, in the state of the same name (southeast), “confirmed the president and his running mate, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, of the Brazilian Socialist Party, to repeat their successful 2022 ticket.”

Lula da Silva called on the population to defend sovereignty, stating that “a potential fourth administration would have five priorities: definitively resolving the education issue, creating a program for senior citizens, strengthening the defense industry, ensuring that rare earth elements remain under Brazilian control, and promoting the energy transition with social and technological development.”

According to the current Brazilian president, the country must strengthen its defense of industry to preserve sovereignty, in addition to safeguarding rare earth elements and critical minerals, among other strategic priorities for a potential new government.

Regarding the election campaign, it was reported that it will begin on August 16; the first round of the presidential elections will be on October 4, 2026.

This Monday, July 27, during the daily press conference of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, a proposal from the authorities to regulate the use of social media and digital platforms by children and adolescents was announced.

The authorities did not refer to a ban but rather to controlling the excessive use of social media by minors, through cell phones and computers, considering that “it can have implications for the rest of their lives. And if it affects all children and all adolescents, then it has general implications for the development of the country.”

According to Sheinbaum, nearly 70 % of parents “agree that cell phone use should be regulated in schools.” In this regard, education authorities, along with other specialists, will discuss scientific evidence on the use of technology and its effect on minors.

For his part, Mexico’s Secretary of Education, Mario Delgado, explained that “the discussion cannot be limited to schools, since a significant portion of the time children spend in front of screens occurs at home.”

Regarding the risks of the use of social media, video games, and online gambling, specialists have pointed out that excessive exposure in children generates a “much greater release of dopamine, but that in the long run, it causes the brain to reduce its production and decrease the sensitivity of receptors, which means that normal activities cease to be satisfying.”

Google and TikTok are once again the focus of accusations from the European Union, which is now imposing multimillion-euro fines for various reasons.

In Google’s case, the fine is €890 million for allegedly violating the region’s Digital Markets Act by favoring its own services and blocking those of its competitors. According to the EU, this must cease within 60 days, under threat of further sanctions.

TikTok, for its part, allegedly violated the Digital Services Act by failing to guarantee secure accounts for minors, who, according to Brussels, can set their accounts to public, leaving their comments open to anyone. The fine is up to 6 % of its global annual revenue.

Both companies have received warnings from the European Commission, with specific guidelines to implement immediately, under penalty of further fines for non-compliance.

On August 2, the new European Union law on artificial intelligence will come into force, with rigorous controls on content generated by this technology, its identification at all times, as well as fines for non-compliance.

Monitoring of all AI-generated content is planned, which must be clearly labeled with visible watermarks, whether image, audio, or video.

Furthermore, the new law will require mandatory transparency; this means that “users must know at all times if they are interacting with a machine (chatbots) and that deepfakes must be identified.”

There are limited exceptions for the technical markup or visual labeling of “texts whose use is evident from the context and journalistic pieces that have undergone human review and editorial responsibility.”

Regarding penalties, the law establishes fines for non-compliance with transparency regulations that can reach 15 million euros or 3 % of the annual global revenue of the company involved.

The affected companies in the sector include OpenAI with ChatGPT, Anthropic with Claude, and Google with Gemini; also, image generators like Midjourney, speech synthesis tools, and other systems that allow the use of AI for creation.
