  • Monarch News March/April 2019
    Monarch News March/April 2019 CEO’s Executive Summary The bilateral relationship whipsawed from good news to bad news to utter frustration these past few weeks. With the delivery of the International Trade Commission’s economic analysis and the Mexican Congress’ approval of labor reform, the door has, theoretically, creaked open for the ratification of the USMCA. Yet many U.S. domestic hurdles remain, including metals tariffs, significant Democratic (and some Republican) Party opposition, and a rapidly closing window of opportunity due to the Canadian and U.S. electoral calendars. Despite our highest hopes, we remain concerned that ratification of the agreement will likely be postponed until after the 2020 U.S. presidential election. President Trump finally nominated a new ambassador to Mexico, but Christopher Landau waits for Senate confirmation along with 31 other ambassadorial nominees. Jared Kushner’s seemingly successful March visit to Mexico was followed by a good ministerial meeting on migration, but both were overshadowed by a series of Trump tweets in which the president threatened to close the border and tax Mexican auto exports if Mexico did not meet his migration demands. And, although the president ultimately backed down, his decision to reassign border personnel away from ports of Washington, D.C. | Los Angeles | Mexico City | Monterrey www.monarch-global.com entry generated massive and costly delays at key border crossings. His constant tweets attacking Mexico remain a continuing irritant in the bilateral relationship that is very unlikely to abate. In Mexico, President López Obrador announced that his government would stop implementing the 2013 education reform.

This case con- cerns respondent Crystallex’s efforts to enforce a judgment obtained against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela by attaching the property of Venezuela’s national oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA). In the decision below, the Third Circuit affirmed the district court’s exercise of ancillary en- forcement jurisdiction with respect to PDVSA, de- spite the absence of any basis under the FSIA for doing so.

  • Apocalypse Now: Venezuela, Oil and Reconstruction
    COLUMBIA GLOBAL ENERGY DIALOGUES APOCALYPSE NOW: VENEZUELA, OIL AND RECONSTRUCTION By Antoine Halff, Francisco Monaldi, Luisa Palacios, and Miguel Angel Santos Venezuela is at a breaking point. The political, economic, financial, social, and humanitarian crisis that has gripped the country is intensifying. This unsustainable situation raises several urgent questions: Which path will the embattled OPEC country take out of the current turmoil? What type of political transition lies ahead? What short-term and long-term impact will the crisis have on Venezuela’s ailing oil industry, economy, and bond debt? What would be the best and most effective prescription for oil and economic recovery under a new governance regime? To discuss these matters, the Center on Global Energy Policy brought together on June 19, 2017, a group of about 45 experts, including oil industry executives, investment bankers, economists, and political scientists from leading think tanks and universities, consultants, and multilateral organization representatives. This note provides some of the highlights from that roundtable discussion, which was held under the Chatham House rule. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Venezuela’s oil-reliant economy has been battered over the past three years, as ongoing production problems were magnified by the drop in oil prices that began in mid-2014. The country’s acute financial crisis has spiraled into a full-blown humanitarian crisis marked by deteriorating public health, spreading malnutrition and contagious diseases, and skyrocketing crime. Hyperinflation has exacerbated the country’s woes. Meanwhile, the government of Nicolas Maduro has refused to recognize the National Assembly elected in December 2015, in which opposition parties won a supermajority (two-thirds), and has called for the election of a new Constitutional Assembly on July 30, in a bid to revise the constitution, undermine the legislative and judiciary powers, and consolidate his grip on power.
