Frank Garcia has just been confirmed as Washington’s top Africa diplomat. His appointment tells African governments everything they need to know about how little they matter to this administration. Last month, the U.S. Senate confirmed Frank Garcia as Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, ending a vacancy that had run for more than fifteen months. Garcia is a former Navy officer and longtime staffer on the House Intelligence Committee. He has no significant published work on African affairs and is, by most accounts, unknown in Washington’s Africa policy community.

(The Center Square) — New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is pushing back against White House Border Czar Tom Homan's threats to ramp up immigration enforcement in the state after she signed a new bill restricting ICE cooperation. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, the Democrat defended her decision to sign legislation two weeks ago that limits cooperation between state and local police with U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and prohibits the federal agency from deputizing local police to help detain undocumented immigrants, among other changes. The governor also responded to comments by Homan that he is gearing up to surge ICE agents in New York City and state in response to passage of the new restrictions. "We are very focused on helping communities be safe, and local law enforcement should be working with ICE to help remove criminals — full stop," Hochul said in remarks. "This is what President Trump said he would do — go after the “baddest of the bad,” the “worst of the worst,” — and that's what we're willing to support." Hochul said the new law allows New York authorities to work with ICE to help them apprehend suspects who have committed crimes but said it prevents federal authorities from "harassing ordinary people in our state, going about their lives in a lawful way." "When someone has committed a crime and they're sentenced to jail and they complete that time, we will help you. I've sent over 1,600 people," Hochul said. "We've contacted ICE and said, ‘These are the people you can take now. They committed a crime. They're convicted criminals. They should go.'" Homan has repeatedly threatened to crack down on New York in response to Democrats efforts to restrict cooperation with immigration enforcement operations. On Monday, Homan said the coming ICE surge will focus on New York City, and its five boroughs, not Long Island or upstate counties, some of which have been cooperating with federal authorities. “I made (Gov. Kathy Hochul) a promise. ‘You’re going to see more ICE agents than you’ve ever seen in New York City and it’s coming,'” Homan told Fox News’ Fox and Friends on Monday. “I’m keeping my promise. We’re going to send more ICE agents to New York because you took away the efficiencies of safe arrests in county jails." New York City saw a surge of hundreds of thousands of migrants during the Biden administration that overwhelmed the city's shelter system. The city has spent billions of dollars over the past several years on housing, food and necessities for the new arrivals, prompting threats from the Trump administration to pull back federal funding. But Homan's renewed threats come as Hochul and New York City's Democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani are refusing to let ICE take custody of illegal immigrants in county jails. The new law signed by Hochul bans so-called 287(g) agreements between the Department of Homeland Security and New York counties. "I told her it’s safer for the community, it’s safer for the officers, it’s safer for the aliens to have this cooperation with the jails," Homan told Fox Monday. "She signed the legislation anyways."

Una vez se supo lo sucedido, el Ministerio de Cultura italiano decidió anular la venta y el certificado en marzo de 2023, dos años y medio después, e intentar recuperarlo vía judicialEl robo del trofeo que puso en jaque un Mundial de fútbol y el famoso perro que lo encontró: la apasionante historia de la Copa del Mundo Un cuadro del siglo XIV fue vendido por error por parte del Ministerio de Cultura de Italia, que cometió un fallo a la hora de datar la obra, lo que supuso su venta mediante subasta y fue comprado en Suiza, donde se quedará después de que el Consejo de Estado haya dado la razón a la sociedad que lo compró y ha puesto así a tres años de batalla legal. Según recoge el medio local Il Corriere di Bologna, los hechos ocurrieron en 2020, después de que la obra en cuestión entrara en subasta por un precio de 38.000 euros al creerse de 1850. Actualmente vale más de medio millón de euros y al haberse certificado que data del 1350, y supone el segundo caso similar en Italia en poco tiempo. Se la consideró una obra de “escaso valor” En 2020, el Ministerio de Cultura subastó la obra ‘La Madonna col Bambino’ con un valor de 38.000 euros tras considerarla una obra de “escaso valor” y expedir un documento que autorizaba su exportación fuera de la frontera, es decir, un certificado de libre circulación. Y es que el cuadro se creyó era del 1850 y obra de Alfonso Martorelli Fiori, un pintor de Bolonia. Una identificación que resultó errónea, debido a que se confundió un 3 con un 8, siendo la original ‘la Madonna col Bambino’, una obra de 1350 y de autor anónimo, solo conocido por ‘Maestro 1302’ y responsable también de piezas de gran valor como el baptisterio de Parma. Así, la pieza superaría el medio millón de euros de valor después de confirmarse correcta la datación hecha después de su venta a Suiza, con un peritaje de la casa de subasta Christie’s, que han atribuido el error al no haber leído bien la firma en el cuadro. Una vez se supo lo sucedido, el Ministerio de Cultura italiano decidió anular la venta y el certificado en marzo de 2023, dos años y medio después, e intentar recuperarlo vía judicial. Sin embargo, tres años después de lucha legal, el Consejo de Estado ha fallado a favor de la sociedad suiza y la obra se quedará fuera de Italia. Italia ya vendió “por error” un Vasari de valor “incalculable” El caso es más grave si tenemos en cuenta que supone el segundo similar con poco tiempo de diferencia. Y es que en enero se puso fin también a una situación similar, en la que se quería recuperar un cuadro tasado de forma errónea y vendido después a Alemania, con el mismo resultado final de que no podrán volver a tener la obra. En este caso fue una pintura de Giorgio Vasari, arquitecto de la corte de la familia Medici en Florencia que se vendió en 2015 a Alemania por 65.000 euros, un valor muy inferior al valor, que se ha afirmado es “incalculable”. Si bien desde el Ministerio de Cultura decidieron revocar el certificado y recuperar la obra, en este caso tampoco fue posible y el fallo ha supuesto que el cuadro permanezca en el país germano.

(The Center Square) – U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., is among a bipartisan group of lawmakers who want to establish a national commission on robotics. On Thursday, McCormick, fellow Republican U.S. Sen. Todd Young, and Democrats John Hickenlooper and Martin Heinrich introduced the National Commission on Robotics Act. The authors of the proposal say that the independent commission would evaluate America’s robotics competitiveness and recommend policies to strengthen U.S. leadership in the field. “Pennsylvania, and Pittsburgh especially, is an incredible hub of robotics talent and demonstrates that American leadership in robotics creates high-paying jobs, strengthens domestic supply chains, and drives long-term growth,” McCormick said. “The Commission on American Leadership in Robotics will bring together leading experts to help ensure the United States maintains its technological edge over our adversaries and builds the workforce needed to succeed in a technology-driven future.” McCormick and the other authors of this legislation believe that America’s dependence on foreign-manufactured robotics technology raises questions about supply chain security, economic competitiveness, national defense, and workforce development. The commission will be tasked with delivering an interim report within one year after it is established to Congress and the President. Within two years, a final report with recommendations will be made by the commission. The group of lawmakers pinpointed six areas that the commission will have to examine and make recommendations on. The competitiveness of the United States in robotics and the strength of the domestic marketplace.Whether the U.S. has the appropriate means and methods to assert and maintain a technological advantage across industrial, retail, and commercial sectors.Foreign actions and policies to advance robotics.Whether certain strategic partnerships in robotics with industry, the public, and academic institutions could enhance economic competitiveness and manufacturing.Workforce incentives and programs to attract and recruit leading talent in robotics and associated STEM fields.Supply chain risks and policies to increase domestic manufacturing of robotics. The proposal is being backed by a variety of organizations in Pennsylvania, including Gecko Robotics, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh Technology Council, and Carnegie Robotics. “Robotics is poised to be one of the defining technologies of the 21st century, with profound implications for economic growth, national security and societal well-being,” said Farnam Jahanian, President of Carnegie Mellon University. “At a time of increasing global competition, the United States must take an ambitious and deliberate approach to maintaining its leadership in this critical field.” “By bringing together leaders from industry, academia, government and the workforce, this effort can help develop a shared national strategy that accelerates innovation, strengthens American competitiveness and ensures the benefits of robotics are broadly shared across society,” Jahanian continued. In February, Carnegie Mellon University opened a Robotics Innovation Center in Pittsburgh. Jake Loosararian is the co-founder and CEO of Gecko Robotics, which operates internationally with offices in Houston, Boston, New York City, Washington DC, and Abu Dhabi, however, they remain headquartered in Pittsburgh. He said that global competition around robotics and AI is “accelerating quickly” and believes that the United States “must move decisively to remain the global leader.” “A national robotics strategy is essential to strengthening American industry, infrastructure, energy, and national security, while accelerating innovation and high-skilled jobs,” Loosararian said. “Gecko, from our Pittsburgh headquarters to facilities around the world, is at the forefront of companies transforming critical industries using robotics and stands firmly behind Senator McCormick and Senator Hickenlooper’s initiative.” Gecko has interacted with elected officials on both sides of the aisle in recent years about their industry. They participated in the Pennsylvania Energy & Innovation Summit held last summer in Pittsburgh. That conference, hosted by McCormick and featured appearances from President Donald Trump and Gov. Josh Shapiro, according to the Associated Press, also featured leaders from Blackstone, Bridgewater, Amazon Web Services, and more. Shapiro has also toured Gecko Robotics and has emphasized support for the region’s tech sector. Several organizations outside of Pennsylvania have also endorsed this effort from McCormick, citing a variety of factors. Michael Robbins, President & CEO of Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International, AUVSI, said “with the People’s Republic of China moving strategically and aggressively to shape and win this market, the United States needs a clear national strategy to align policy, strengthen trusted industrial capacity, and compete to win.” Robots for America, a national coalition of U.S. robotics companies, manufacturers, and industry leaders, said that despite inventing the modern robotics industry, the United States currently operates less than 10% of the world’s industrial robots, which “significantly threatens America’s position as the global economic leader.” Jeff Burnstein is the President of the Association for Advancing Automation, A3, which is North America’s largest automation trade association representing more than 1,400 organizations involved in robotics, artificial intelligence, machine vision & imaging, motion control & motors and related automation technologies. “The accelerated adoption of robotics, along with enabling technologies like artificial intelligence, machine vision, and motion control, will strengthen every US industry in the future,” Burnstein said. “Robotics and automation are essential to bringing more manufacturing back to the US while creating better, safer and higher paying jobs for American workers.” The New American Industrial Alliance, NAIA, believes that robotics “has the potential to power America’s manufacturing renaissance.” In addition to McCormick’s effort in the U.S. Senate, there is companion legislation in the U.S. House with H.R. 7334. The Robot Report notes that in addition to McCormick’s proposal, there are other policy efforts underway with robotics. Last year, the U.S. Department of Commerce opened investigations into whether tariffs should be levied on imported robotics, industrial machinery, personal protective equipment, and medical devices, according to The Robot Report, adding that the comment period for the Section 232 investigation closed in October, but it has not officially made any conclusions. On June 1, a presidential proclamation specified duties on metals by U.S. content and temporarily reduced rates for mobile industrial equipment and machinery, according to Robot Report, while U.S. Sens. Bill Cassidy, R-La., and Chris Coons, D-Del., also have introduced the Humanoid Robotics Oversight and Blocking of Obtainment from Totalitarians Act of 2025, which would “prohibit the federal government from acquiring humanoids with integrated AI from military suppliers to China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia.”
