One hundred days after the start of his second term, Casa Amèrica Catalunya and CIDOB organized a debate on 29 April on the impact of the decisions taken by the President of the United States Donald Trump in Latin America and the Caribbean with Carlos Dada, Andrea Bianculli and Karlos Castilla, moderated by Anna Ayuso, member of GLOBAL INTEL.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, signed his first 26 executive orders on the same day of his inauguration, January 20. Since then, there have been more than a hundred until what he called liberation day, April 2, when he announced an unprecedented increase in trade tariffs. The impacts derived from his multiple decisions in Latin America and the Caribbean have been constant in top-level issues related to human rights, migration, security, geopolitics, democracy, trade, public debt or the green agenda. The list is long and affects the stability of the region.
In this context, how will the countries of the region have to respond? What new uncertainties will they have to face? What are their margins for maneuver? Will the number of leaders allied with President Trump increase or will they look for other, more reliable allies?
Participants: Carlos Dada, founder and director of the digital newspaper El Faro; Andrea Bianculli, professor at the Barcelona Institute of International Studies (IBEI); and Karlos Castilla, lawyer and research coordinator at the Institute of Human Rights of Catalonia, in a dialogue moderated by Anna Ayuso, senior researcher and research coordinator at CIDOB and member of GLOBAL INTEL (UAB).
