   • 2016, Claire Krulikowski, Moonlight on the Ganga:

     While I've gazed at the sky from my sleeping bag on isolated mountaintops in Montana and southern beaches of Mexico and seen a jazillion stars basking in the peace of the evening, only in Rishikesh do the jazillion merge upon another bajillion jazillion and seem to lay overhead thick as glittering ceiling tiles.

   • 2019 June 19, Elisabeth Malkin and Ana Swanson, “Mexico Ratifies Trade Deal With the U.S. and Canada”, in The New York Times‎^[1], archived from the original on 11 January 2025:

     The path to approval has been bumpiest in Washington, where Democrats in Congress have raised concerns over Mexico’s enforcement of labor rights and environmental law — and smoothest in Mexico, where the president has described the accord as a guarantee of stability for his country’s economy.

   • 2025 January 27, David Charter, “Fafo diplomacy: How Colombia found out Trump meant business”, in The Times‎^[2], archived from the original on 27 January 2025:

     Fafo works with small trading nations such as Colombia because US markets could quickly adapt to the greater expense of its coffee, flowers and other exports. There will be a different order of chaos, though, if Trump follows through on tariffs on the EU (17 per cent of US imports), Mexico (15 per cent), China (14 per cent) or Canada (12 per cent).
