América Latina, entre Trump y China

Uruguay, along with its Latin American neighbors, is witnessing a particular and interesting historical situation: while it assists in the collapse of populist leftist governments, the northern neighbors elect a controversial and high-sounding president, who proposes strategies of withdrawal and focus on the domestic production. In this special context, China's dormant forces are advancing to expand their influence in Latin America, choosing Uruguay as a strategic gateway. What implications will this progress have for our region? Does it represent an opportunity or a threat? What attitude should the government and diplomacy take? Appealing to his broad experience as governor and political leader, and showing a keen analytical sense, Dr. Luis Alberto Lacalle reflects on the motivations of these movements and adventure proposals for the best future of the country and the region.
