Latin America, Greenland, Canada... What does Trump want to do with the Western Hemisphere?
from The Global Agora · host Andrej Matisak
Does US President Donald Trump have an endgame in Venezuela? Which Latin American leader should be most concerned about the Donroe Doctrine, and what could it mean in concrete terms for US foreign and security policy? And should Greenland and Canada really be worried as well? “I think Trump is trying to establish a sphere of influence in which the United States can do what it wants in the Western Hemisphere,” says Renata Keller, a history professor at the University of Nevada. She is an expert on modern Latin America, the Cold War, and the War on Drugs, and she recently published a book, The Fate of the Americas: The Cuban Missile Crisis and the Hemispheric Cold War.
