Americas in Disarray [S5, E12]

Altamar - Navigating the High Seas of Global Politics

This Summit of the Americas only served to underscore the fractures on the continent. Instead of resetting its relations with Latin American countries, the US seemed further apart than ever from the continent. The hotly debated RSVP list left out some major players, such as Mexico’s President Lopez Obrador. With countries facing such different internal and external challenges, what is next for the hemisphere?

Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Luis Alberto Moreno, former President of the Interamerican Development Bank and the author of recent book Vamos. Altamar’s ‘Téa’s Take’ by Téa Ivanovic reminds us that on social issues such as abortion rights and legalization of marijuana, Latin America is far more progressive than today’s political debate in the United States.
