In this episode of Asymmetric Power, Drs. Brearley and Neumann discuss America Crece 2.0: an equity investment plan for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) advocated by POTUS Trump’s Special Envoy to the region, Mauricio Claver-Carone, and supported by the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the first Latino to hold the position. It is particularly notable in light of the fact that LAC has been largely exempt from the tariff wars: except for the egregious dictatorships, the region just got the de minimus blanket 10%, giving it a global competitive advantage.
