CARTAGENA, Colombia - President Juan Manual Santos on Saturday hailed the discovery of a Spanish galleon that went down off the South American nation s coast more than 300 years ago with what may be the world s largest sunken treasure.At a news conference in this colonial port city, Santos said the exact location of the galleon San yeezy Jose, and how it was discovered with the help of an international team of experts, was a state secret that he d personally safeguard.

He hopes his journey will resonate with the one in four Latin Americans who live on less than $2 a day and wonder whether democracy will ever deliver them a better life. The trip is to remind people that we care, Mr. Bush said in an interview Wednesday with CNN En Espanol. I do worry about the fact that some say, Well, the United States hasn t paid enou stanley cupe gh attention to us, or The United States really isn t anything more than worried about terrorism. And when, in fact, the record has been a strong record. But Mr. Bush, with just two years left in his presidency, has a weak hand. Anti-Americanism and the president s poor image, tainted by the war in Iraq, have only fueled Chavez s influence in the region and beyond.The fiery leader of oil-rich Venezuela, who has labeled Mr. Bush the devil and dismisses him as the little gentleman from the North, plans to play to this discontent. He has called for protests during Bush s stay and is leading a rally in Argentina when the president visits neighboring Uruguay.
