In a recent webinar, we examined the impact of the ongoing US-China trade war from the standpoint of the two superpowers struggling for the prize of Latin America. In that webinar, we focused on how this conflict will affect trade and logistics. 

But in this recent Horizontes podcast, we looked at this issue in broader terms during a fascinating interview with our guest, Dr. Evan Ellis, Professor of Latin American Studies at the US Army War College. 

Please click above to listen to this podcast, which explores crucial questions, such as: 

  • Are current tactics employed by the US the right way to counter China? 
  • How can Latin America’s leaders navigate this growing rivalry between these superpowers?
