The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) mentioned Brazil's instant payment system Pix in reports related to Section 301, stating that its policies pose burdens or restrictions on American businesses.


Meanwhile, Chilean police and the Southern Prosecutor's Office arrested 18 individuals suspected of being involved with the Venezuelan transnational crime organization Tren de Aragua after a two-year investigation, claiming they laundered illegal funds through bank accounts, shell companies, and cryptocurrency remittances, with an estimated transaction volume of about $88 million.

Tren de Aragua, this organization’s name sounds like a movie villain; reality is crazier than the movies.
