The Piera government presents an opportunity for the United States to strengthen relations with our democratic ally and solve problems in the region. The Western Hemisphere faces many challenges, including growing coca production, illegal trafficking, and expanding criminal organizations. Solving these and other problems will require the United States to cooperate more closely with Chile and other regional partners on security and economic matters. To begin with, the U.S.-Chile partnership is already strong. Our two countries signed a free trade agreement in 2004 and, according to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, our trade in goods and services totals more than $27 billion, supporting more than 90,000 jobs in the United States and thousands more in Chile. Moreover, the United States invests roughly $26 billion annually in Chile, and our Latin American ally correspondingly invests more than $2 billion per year in the U.S. economy. My hope is that a robust relationship with the Piera Administration will further strengthen our economic ties and lead to greater prosperity for both of our countries. Toward that end, the United States should also work with Chile to develop better intellectual property protection laws and less onerous tax and regulatory regimes. Cybersecurity is another emerging area where the United States and Chile have powerful incentives to work together. Last May, hackers launched a massive cyberattack to steal $10 million dollars from the Banco de Chile, the country's second largest bank. Two weeks reportedly passed before the bank could resume normal operations. The United States has formidable cybersecurity capabilities in government and private sectors that could benefit Chile. That's why I strongly support Secretary of Defense James Mattis' decision to visit Santiago last August and to sign a new bilateral agreement with Chilean Defense Minister Alberto Espina for closer cybersecurity cooperation. This bilateral pact paves the way for our nation to do more to help Chile better defend its information networks and financial institutions from cyber threats. Moreover, our two nations should pursue other avenues for security cooperation, including more military exercises focused on science and technology collaboration. Read the rest here. EE. UU DEBE APROVECHAR LA NUEVA OPORTUNIDAD DE FORTALECER LOS LAZOS CON CHILE Un camino regional a la democracia en Venezuela Por el Senador Marco Rubio 2 de diciembre del 2018 El Nuevo Herald El ao pasado, el pueblo de Chile eligi democrticamente al presidente Sebastin Piera para que liderara una de las economas de ms rpido desarrollo en Latinoamrica. El gobierno del presidente Piera presenta una oportunidad para que los Estados Unidos fortalezca las relaciones con nuestro aliado democrtico y resuelva los problemas en la regin. El Hemisferio Occidental enfrenta muchos desafos, incluyendo la creciente produccin de cocana, el trfico ilegal y la expansin de organizaciones criminales. Resolver estos y otros problemas requerir que los Estados Unidos coopere estrechamente con Chile y otros aliados regionales en temas de economa y de seguridad. Para comenzar, nuestra alianza con Chile ya es slida. En el ao 2004 firmamos un acuerdo de libre comercio y, de acuerdo con la Oficina del Representante de Comercio de los Estados Unidos, el comercio de bienes y servicios totaliza ms de $27 mil millones, respaldando a ms de 90,000 empleos en los Estados Unidos y miles ms en Chile. Los Estados Unidos invierten aproximadamente $26 mil millones al ao en Chile, y nuestro aliado latinoamericano adems invierte de manera correspondiente ms de $2 mil millones por ao en la economa de los Estados Unidos. Mi deseo es que la relacin existente con la administracin de Piera fortalezca an ms nuestros lazos econmicos y conduzca a una mayor prosperidad para ambos pases. Con ese fin, Estados Unidos tambin debera trabajar con Chile para desarrollar mejores leyes de proteccin en temas como la propiedad intelectual, regmenes regulatorios y fiscales menos costosos. La ciberseguridad es otra rea emergente donde tanto Estados Unidos como Chile tienen incentivos eficaces para trabajar en conjunto. En mayo del ao pasado, piratas cibernticos lanzaron un ataque masivo para robar $10 millones del Banco de Chile, el segundo banco ms grande del pas. Segn informes, pasaron dos semanas antes que el banco pudiera reanudar sus operaciones con normalidad. Estados Unidos tiene capacidades formidables en el rea de ciberseguridad gubernamental y de ciberseguridad privada que podra beneficiar a Chile. Por eso, apoy firmemente la decisin del secretario de Defensa, James Mattis, de visitar Santiago de Chile en agosto de este ao y el haber firmado un nuevo acuerdo bilateral con el ministro de Defensa chileno Alberto Espina para reanudar la cooperacin mutua en temas de seguridad ciberntica.
