Chile's defense policy shift carries high costs
The Chilean armed forces rely on U.S.-made F-16 fighters. File photo by Marco Mesina/EPA-EFE SANTIAGO, Chile, June 13 (UPI) -- President Gabriel Boric's plan to replace Israel as Chile's primary arms supplier presents logistical and strategic challenges for the country's armed forces. Chile's president has sharply criticized Israel's military actions in Gaza. In his recent state of the nation address, he supported Spain's proposal for an arms embargo on Israel "to prevent more children from being killed." "I have instructed the defense minister to quickly present a plan to diversify our defense trade relationships so we can stop relying on Israeli industry in all areas," Boric said. Since 1977, Chile has purchased more than $850 million worth of Israeli weapons, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. By 1989, Israel supplied 42.5% of Chile's total weapon imports. During Sebastián Piñera's administration, Chile signed new agreements with Israel covering weapons, security technology and cybersecurity. The path toward supplier diversification is complex. Chile's armed forces maintain a significant inventory of Israeli-made equipment. Changing suppliers requires a transition process that could affect existing system interoperability. Integrating new platforms and technologies from multiple sources takes time, training and often costly modifications to ensure systems from different countries can operate together efficiently. This is especially critical in joint operations, where compatibility between communications gear, navigation systems and weapons is essential. Experts say replacing deeply integrated Israeli systems could weaken Chile's overall operational capability. "The relationship with an arms supplier goes far beyond the initial purchase. It involves agreements for logistical support, spare parts, long-term maintenance and technological upgrades," said César Cereceda, a defense expert and president of the Association of Retired Armed Forces Personnel. Severing or weakening ties with an established supplier like Israel could disrupt the supply chain for critical parts, affecting the operation and availability of existing equipment. Trust and a strong support track record are crucial in military technology procurement, Cereceda added. Military equipment also requires highly trained personnel for operation and maintenance. Changing suppliers means training troops on new systems, requiring investments in time and resources. Chile may consider Brazil, Turkey and India as new suppliers, but it must first evaluate whether their products meet the country's specific defense needs. Brazil has a developing defense industry focused on land systems, aircraft and some naval platforms. While it has made progress, its technology may not match Israel's level of sophistication, particularly in high-tech sectors. Turkey's defense industry has expanded rapidly in recent years, making notable advances in drones, armored vehicles and naval systems. Its development has been impressive, but it has yet to fully consolidate as a comprehensive supplier. India's large industrial base and its ambitious "Made in India" policy are key strengths in its bid to become a defense supplier. However, it still relies heavily on foreign technology for complex systems, and its ability to export advanced weapons at scale remains limited. "Chile's defense policy has long focused on diversifying strategic acquisitions," said Gabriel Gaspar, an international analyst and former deputy defense secretary. He noted that the armed forces operate German armored vehicles, ships from the U.K., Australia and the Netherlands and U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets. "All of these supply lines rely on NATO-standard technology, offering broad compatibility -- from calibers to communication systems," Gaspar said. "Switching to a different line of weaponry is always possible, but it requires long-term policy and funding." The cost of replacing existing technology could range from $15 billion to $20 billion, according to estimates by Fernando Wilson, an analyst at Chile's Adolfo Ibáñez University. Reducing dependence on a single supplier would strengthen Chile's strategic autonomy and reduce its vulnerability to potential embargoes or shifts in bilateral relations. Exploring new markets would allow Chile to access different technologies and approaches in the defense industry, potentially strengthening its long-term military capabilities. However, experts say a complete switch in suppliers and the replacement of all Israeli technology and systems currently in use could come at a very high cost.

Senate Republicans seethe as blue-state lawmakers dig in
Senate Republicans want to slash — or in some cases kill — the $40,000 state and local tax deduction cap that the House added to President Donald Trump's megabill — but avoiding a protracted battle may require them to bend. Senators are cutting deals on Trump's campaign priorities as they craft their version of the massive tax and spending plan, delaying a foreign 'revenge' tax and changing other divisive provisions the House passed. The so-called SALT deduction is one of the last sticking points: Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, told Semafor that the details of how his chamber treats the issue might look blank in its first draft because of the lingering bicameral disagreement. House Republicans say they won't back off their position, which would quadruple the current limit on SALT deduction. The main problem for those House members? Some senators' olive branch to the House reminds them of Michael Corleone's infamous offer: Nothing. 'Zero is a good number' for a SALT cap, Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., told Semafor. It's an epic clash between the disparate wings of the Republican Party – all over a tax break that disproportionately aids wealthy people in blue states. On one side is a Senate GOP almost entirely representing lower-cost states that is tired of kowtowing to the House; on the other side is a handful of House members whose electoral wins gave Republicans the majority, and the ability to even write a party-line tax bill. Several Senate Republicans said the chamber wouldn't totally zero out the SALT deduction, but they are contemplating making a big cut to the House language. That could lead to a protracted disagreement between the two chambers — and stall Trump's megabill well past the GOP's self-imposed July 4 deadline. 'Unless there's at least $40,000 of SALT in the bill, it can't pass the House,' said Rep. Nick Lalota, R-N.Y. 'Those who are thinking pragmatically understand that reality.' 'We all think it's a rather unrealistic demand that the few members in the House are driving such a huge deficit creator,' shot back Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. LaLota flipped his vote Thursday on legislation clawing back federal spending on public media and foreign aid. Asked how leaders got him to 'yes,' he replied that 'PBS and NPR will live on … and I expect my constituents will be quite pleased when they get $40,000 worth of SALT.' Several lawmakers are playing peacemaker between the chambers; Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Finance Chair Mike Crapo were expected to address the matter with Trump directly at a White House meeting on Thursday. Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., is negotiating directly with Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., one of the most hardline SALT Republicans. And House Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith told Semafor Thursday that he is urging Senate Republicans to proceed with caution. 'They know what's necessary by what we passed out of the House,' Smith said. 'SALT, it's not an issue to them other than they want to have a bill on the president's desk.' 'We passed a very reasonable compromise in the House, and I just tell the Senate to thread the needle lightly,' Smith added. There are 'at least five' House Republicans who see $40,000 as a dealbreaker, LaLota said, who included Lawler and Rep. Tom Kean of New Jersey in that camp. He added that they are 'on a roadshow of sorts, making sure that folks … understand how resolved we are about $40,000 SALT.' While some Senate conservatives would prefer to blow up the SALT cap completely, they will likely have to finesse the language to avoid steamrolling the House. The increase to the SALT cap is estimated to cost roughly $350 billion over 10 years, and slimming it down could satisfy fiscal hawks. Senators are considering potentially imposing a more strict income cap on the deduction to wring more savings out of the bill. 'I'm certainly willing to try to pass a bill that the House is going to struggle with, but ultimately pass,' said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. Battleground-seat House Republicans, meanwhile, are so far out on a limb for SALT that backing down now could severely harm their election chances. Republicans from states like California, New York and New Jersey form the majority-making component of the House GOP. 'No Republican senator likes the SALT; raising the SALT cap. I don't either,' House Speaker Mike Johnson said on the 'Ruthless' podcast Thursday. 'But I told [senators], 'The reality is, our majority runs through states like California and New York.'' Most GOP senators understand that dynamic — to a point. Republican senators are also tired of swallowing whatever can pass the House, a dynamic that has repeated itself on several recent must-pass pieces of legislation. And conservatives vowed to pursue the most savings they can out of the bill. A House priority that almost no GOP senators support is a prime target. 'It's an easy way to go in and grab money and cut the deficit, which: Don't disagree. The problem we have is, we still got to get the votes over there,' Mullin told reporters. The general message from most Republicans is that blue-state House colleagues may have to climb down on SALT — at least a little. As Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., put it: 'Everybody's having to accept stuff they don't like in this bill.' 'I think it's actually going to be cut down a lot over here [in the Senate] and we move on,' Donalds said. 'For my SALT colleagues: What matters more, SALT or small business taxes going up?' Republicans are closing in on a deal. But the last pieces are always the hardest, and the weird SALT dance has the potential to snarl things even more at the last minute — especially after Speaker Johnson labored to get some of the same pro-SALT members to codify spending cuts. It's hard to see the Senate passing something that doesn't slim down the House's SALT language. We've even heard they might put a lowball number in their legislation to throw a scare into the House. But in the end we think they'll back-channel a compromise. It doesn't seem like anyone wants a lengthy bicameral conference that delays the bill even longer. The so-called revenge tax is likely to be delayed in the final bill. LaLota met with Senate leadership staff this week to discuss SALT, according to POLITICO.

Trump administration looks to bring back mining near Boundary Waters
Trump administration looks to bring back mining near Boundary Waters originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Trump's top cabinet members say they are working to allow mining again in parts of northern Minnesota following a years-long ban. This comes shortly after Senator Tina Smith declared victory in the fight to protect the Boundary Waters, after a provision granting Chilean mining giant Antofagasta permission to open copper nickel sulfide mining project was removed from the Senate version of the Republicans' "One Big Beautiful Bill." But the next morning, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins doubled down on the idea, declaring that she, along with Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, are working to cancel the "mineral withdrawal in the Rainey [sic] River watershed on the Superior National Forest," which is federal land. Smith retorted, 'Not this mine. Not this place. The Boundary Waters are too precious. See you in court." In 2023, President Biden banned mining over approximately 225,000 acres of the Superior National Forest. The area in question is near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, and environmental activists have sounded the alarm and raised concerns about potential pollution. Proponents of mining say the move could bring new jobs to the state. Minnesota representative Pete Stauber applauded the move, saying allowing mineral mining will reduce dependence on China. The so-called "One Big, Beautiful Bill" is now in the hands of the Senate, after being passed by the House of Representatives. President Trump has said he wants to sign the legislation by the Fourth of July. This story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 12, 2025, where it first appeared.
