On this live recording of State of the World: With all eyes on the United States as the 2020 election looms, few places will be affected as closely as our neighbors. As violence in the Northern Triangle pushes migrants north, a power struggle in Venezuela keeps the country in limbo and deforestation in the Amazon takes root, U.S. foreign policy impacts Latin America on numerous fronts.
We are joined by Ambassador Charles Shapiro, Former Ambassador to Venezuela and President of the World Affairs Council of Atlanta, to discuss the effects of U.S. elections on Latin America, the challenges these countries face, and how the continuation or disruption of current policies will shape the region moving forward. Moderated by Megan Clark Torrey, CEO.
