washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/whats-behind-trumps-moves-in-latin-america/?tid=aud_rsslink&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports

For months, the relationship between the United States and Latin America has been fraught. President Donald Trump has targeted enemies in the region and propped up MAGA-friendly allies. We’ve now reached an inflection point, and the world is watching for what’s next.


Today, two of The Post’s experts on the region, national security correspondent 

Karen DeYoung and Mexico City bureau chief Samantha Schmidt, join host Colby Itkowitz to unpack the latest developments in Latin America, and the throughline of the Trump administration’s ultimate policy objectives.


Today’s show was produced by Elana Gordon and Ted Muldoon, who also mixed the show. It was edited by Ariel Plotnick. Special thanks to Ben Pauker.
