The U.S. under Donald Trump has been redrawing its map of allies in Latin America…and not every country has made the cut. At the recent Shield of the Americas Summit, representatives from 12 Latin American countries, handpicked by U.S. President Donald Trump, convened to discuss joint security and anti-cartel operations. In today’s episode, I recap the summit and discuss the implications for expats and investors across the region. I’ll dive into where political capital is currently flowing, and how this realignment will shape the future of Latin America. Enjoy today’s episode!
