Very excited to see growing bipartisan support for Próspera, for 3 main reasons. 1/ Charter cities are a powerful tool for addressing economic inequality by providing in-country jobs that reduce the pressure to migrate (primarily driven by wanting better jobs), as well as improving regional security. 2/ Investment treaties are the foundation of all cross-border investment. Without developed countries investing in less-developed ones, the economic situation in the global south would be extremely grim and the migration crisis far worse. Honduras’ attempt to renege on their 10-year ZEDE program in violation of their own Constitution is not only despicable but an attempt at a massive self-own which would impoverish them further. 3/ Under the leadership of literal Marxist @XiomaraCastroZ, Honduras is cozying up to China and attempting to re-align from the US, which is arguably a security threat, although hilariously China has told them that after leaving @icsid, Honduras must join another investor-state dispute resolution system to receive any Chinese investment. IOW, mechanisms to protect investments from govts reneging are so fundamental that even their new commie friends insist on it 😂. The US under @realDonaldTrump & @JDVance should cease all foreign aid to Honduras and other countries attempting to expropriate US investments and join the Sinosphere, as well as publicly announcing that we will fulfill our bilateral investment treaty obligations & those of @DRCAFTA, contra last year’s shameful letter from @SenWarren to @JoeBiden asking him to do the opposite.
