Aman just announced AMANTARU — its first resort and branded residences in Puerto Rico. Cabo Rojo / Esencia: hillside above a secluded beach bordering a nature reserve. Architect: Marwan Al-Sayed (Amangiri). Aman’s fourth Caribbean destination; residences 3–8 bedrooms. Our view: an Aman announcement on the southwest coast is a signal that PR’s pipeline now reaches beyond San Juan. @Amanresorts 📰📊 hotelsmag.com/news/aman-deta…

.@Hilton has surpassed 100 open and planned hotels across the Caribbean. Nearly 60 are open today. In Puerto Rico, Hilton plans to double its portfolio to nearly 25 hotels, with projects in San Juan, Ponce, Fajardo, Dorado and Arecibo. Our view: brand pipeline is a leading indicator of where capital is heading — and that’s Puerto Rico! @HiltonNewsroom 📰📊 stories.hilton.com/releases/…

8% más pasajeros en temporada alta y 13.6% más de ocupación hotelera en diciembre significan más empleos y más clientes para comerciantes locales. Volver a crecer en llegadas aéreas no es casualidad: es el resultado de trabajar la conectividad de la isla. @CTPuertoRico 👏🏻👏🏻
SJU arrivals rose 4.2% in September, the first gain of 2026. Oct–Mar seats are up 8%, and December committed hotel occupancy is up 13.6%. Our view: more seats mean a stronger winter for Puerto Rico. The momentum is real. @discover_PR 📃📊 discoverpuertorico.com/es/in…

Governor @Jenniffer just made Puerto Rico the first jurisdiction in the nation to join the @DeptofWar — @DARPA's AIxCD program. A national security asset in the Caribbean has to defend its critical infrastructure from cyberattacks, and Puerto Rico is leading. 🇺🇸
Today, we announced that Puerto Rico has become the first jurisdiction in the nation to participate in DARPA’s AIxCD program. @DARPA is the @DeptofWar agency whose research led to the creation of the internet and GPS. This program will develop artificial intelligence tools to detect and correct cybersecurity vulnerabilities before an attack affects electricity, water, hospitals, or 9-1-1 emergency services. This agreement protects essential services and our people’s information without committing funds from the General Fund. — Hoy anunciamos que Puerto Rico se convierte en la primera jurisdicción de la nación en participar en el programa AIxCD de DARPA, la agencia del Departamento de Guerra cuyas investigaciones dieron origen al internet y al GPS. Este programa desarrollará herramientas de inteligencia artificial que detectarán y corregirán fallas de ciberseguridad antes de que un ataque afecte la luz, el agua, los hospitales o el 9-1-1. Este acuerdo protege los servicios y la información de nuestra gente sin comprometer partidas del fondo general.

Socialist Angie can’t answer if Cuba is a dictatorship? I guess now we know why she voted against the Florida law to require schools to teach the dangers of communism.

.@SenRickScott Scott is right: one does not happen without the other. A free Venezuela matters to everyone in the hemisphere, including Puerto Rico. We're the closest piece of America to Caracas, and ready to help rebuild trade, flights and investment the day democracy returns. 🇺🇸🇵🇷🤝🏻🇻🇪 This is what moral clarity and American pressure deliver. @MariaCorinaYA's courage and the support she has received from some in Washington, are making the transition a reality. Peace through strength works! Now the job is a fast transition and a firm date for free elections. Venezuelans have waited long enough.
What is happening in Venezuela is a big deal. Here’s why it matters: @MariaCorinaYA’s fight for freedom was fueled by the bold and just actions of @POTUS and @SecRubio to pave the way for democracy in Venezuela. One does not happen without the other. For the United States, this is a pivotal moment. As Secretary Rubio works toward securing free and fair elections, Maria has returned home. We are so close to a free, democratic, Venezuela - a nation which acts as a partner to the U.S. and asset to our national and economic security instead of a threat in our own backyard. This is what America First looks like in action 🇺🇸

👏🏻 Speech of the year! 🇺🇸 @SecRubio delivered the right message at a critical moment! The West is at a crossroads. The decisions of the next decade will define the next century. xitter.cf/secrubio/status/210793…
WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: For a bracing and timely antidote, we recommend Marco Rubio’s speech Wednesday at the Acropolis in Greece. It’s the speech of the year by our lights. wsj.com/opinion/marco-rubio-…

It was a true privilege to join Governor @Jenniffer and the Puerto Rico delegation on the New York Stock Exchange (@NYSE) bell balcony for the Opening Bell, sharing a clear message from one of the world’s most important financial centers: Puerto Rico is open for business, ready to compete for investment, and prepared to create new opportunities. It was especially meaningful to share this moment alongside a broad representation of Puerto Rico, including leaders from the private and banking sectors, the Secretaries of Economic Development and Treasury, the Federal Affairs Director, and other institutional representatives. A diverse delegation united by a common purpose: promoting Puerto Rico and strengthening our competitiveness. At a time when jurisdictions around the world are competing for capital, businesses, talent, and new opportunities, we must actively seek investment and showcase what makes Puerto Rico unique: we are a U.S. jurisdiction with a highly skilled and bilingual workforce, a strong legacy in advanced manufacturing, and tremendous potential to continue advancing reshoring and economic development. This type of exposure puts Puerto Rico in front of the people and institutions making investment decisions and helps open the door to new conversations, partnerships, and opportunities for our economy. Congratulations to Governor González Colón for taking Puerto Rico’s message of confidence, growth, and opportunity directly to Wall Street. 🇺🇸🇵🇷🔔🏦 
PUERTO RICO IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

Fue especialmente significativo compartir este momento con una amplia representación de nuestra Isla, incluyendo líderes del sector privado y bancario, los secretarios de @DDECPR y @DptoHacienda, la Directora de @PRFAA y otros representantes institucionales. Una delegación diversa, pero unida en el propósito de promover a Puerto Rico y fortalecer nuestra competitividad. En momentos en que competimos con otras jurisdicciones por capital, empresas, talento y nuevas oportunidades, tenemos que salir a buscar la inversión y presentar directamente nuestras ventajas: somos una jurisdicción estadounidense, contamos con una fuerza laboral altamente capacitada y bilingüe, una sólida trayectoria en manufactura avanzada y un enorme potencial para continuar impulsando el reshoring y el desarrollo económico. Este tipo de exposición coloca a Puerto Rico frente a quienes toman decisiones de inversión y ayuda a abrir nuevas conversaciones y oportunidades para nuestra economía. Enhorabuena a la Gobernadora por llevar a Wall Street un mensaje de confianza, crecimiento y futuro para Puerto Rico. 🇺🇸🇵🇷🔔🏦 !PUERTO RICO ESTÁ ABIERTO PARA NEGOCIOS!

Today, the strong relationship between the Government of Puerto Rico and the federal government on public safety was once again demonstrated with the dismantling of the criminal organization “Los Baja Deos,” which operated across more than 20 public housing developments and resulted in 81 indictments. I welcomed U.S. Attorney General, @AGToddBlanche, with whom I discussed the details of this operation, as well as ongoing efforts to further strengthen the fight against drug trafficking and organized crime. — Hoy quedó demostrada la sólida relación entre el Gobierno de Puerto Rico y el gobierno federal en términos de seguridad, al desarticular la organización criminal “Los Baja Deos”, que operaba en más de 20 residenciales públicos, con 81 acusaciones. Recibí al secretario de Justicia federal, Todd Blanche, con quien discutí los detalles de esta operación, así como los esfuerzos para seguir fortaleciendo la lucha contra el narcotráfico y el crimen organizado.

Barbosa Vive | Como todos los años el Partido Republicano de PR se reunió el 27 de julio en el Cementerio del Viejo San Juan para honrar la memoria de quien fundara el Partido Republicano en la isla en el 1899 y padre del movimiento estadista, el Dr. José Celso Barbosa. El presidente estatal Ángel Cintrón junto a la Delegada Nacional Zoraida Fonalledas compartieron sus reflexiones sobre la vida y legado del Dr. Barbosa y la aportación al movimiento estadista de la actualidad. La Senadora Roxanna Soto Aguilú presentó la proclama de la Gobernadora Jenniffer González y el exsenador Orlando Parga fungió como orador invitado y rememoró un recorrido del movimiento estadista.

We ask everyone to join us in praying for our fallen service members, their loved ones, and for all in the U.S. Armed Forces who are in harm’s way fighting and protecting our freedoms. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 @Republicans_PR
CENTCOM Statement on Recently Fallen, Missing U.S. Service Members TAMPA, Fla. — On July 17, two U.S. service members in Jordan were killed in action as U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. Additionally, one service member is currently missing. Four American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals. They have since been discharged. Other personnel who were evaluated for minor injuries have returned to duty. Out of respect for the families, CENTCOM will withhold additional information, including the identities of the fallen warriors, until 24 hours after the next of kin have been notified.

Hace unos días escribí sobre el pleito del aeropuerto. Hoy, tras las expresiones reseñadas por El Nuevo Día, queda claro que la empresa que posee la exclusividad de alimentos y bebidas está buscando que los lounges no puedan operar. Y eso debería preocuparnos a todos. Los lounges son espacios donde miles de viajeros pueden descansar, trabajar y comer. Muchos acceden a ellos mediante beneficios de tarjetas de crédito que ya pagan. Eliminarlos significa menos opciones para el pasajero y más personas obligadas a consumir dentro de un sistema con poca o ninguna competencia real. Todos sabemos lo que pasa cuando desaparecen las opciones: suben los precios. Algo puede ser legal y aun así ser profundamente inmoral y antiético. Si este pleito termina eliminando los lounges del aeropuerto, los puertorriqueños deberíamos considerar seriamente un boicot al consumo dentro del aeropuerto. Porque ya basta de utilizar monopolios, contratos privilegiados y tecnicismos legales para seguir castigando el bolsillo del consumidor. Puerto Rico merece competencia. Puerto Rico merece opciones. Y quien negoció un contrato de esta naturaleza no defendió los intereses de Puerto Rico; los traicionó. Y quienes hoy intentan utilizarlo para limitar opciones a los viajeros continúan haciendo exactamente lo mismo. 🇵🇷✈️
