What are the implications of right-wing populism across Latin America?
About this episode
The episode discusses the rise of right-wing populism in Latin America and its implications for the region's relationship with the United States.
Promising to crack down on crime and promoting strong ties with President Trump - right-wing populists are winning elections across Latin America. Is this a passing phase coming out of voters' economic and safety concerns or a lasting shift? And will this tie the region more to the United States?
