U.S. vs China: The Battle for Latin America

Is El Salvador Retreating from Bitcoin? And Who’s the Real “Wolf Warrior” in Latin America?

Welcome back to Wealth Wednesday with the Latin Wealth Podcast. In this episode, we’re diving into two major global stories impacting Latin America: El Salvador’s Bitcoin retreat and the growing power struggle between the U.S. and China in the region.

First, we take a deep look into President Bukele’s historic Bitcoin experiment in El Salvador and why it’s now facing a serious reversal under pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Was it a failed experiment, or was the world simply not ready for such a radical move?

Then we shift focus to U.S.-China relations in Latin America—who’s really acting like the “wolf warrior” now?

From Trump’s aggressive foreign policy moves to China’s softer diplomatic tone, Latin America has become a critical battleground for influence.

In this episode, we cover:

- Why El Salvador is scaling back its Bitcoin plans

- The IMF’s role in reshaping crypto policy in Latin America

- China’s changing tone in Latin America

- Trump’s tough talk on Mexico, Colombia, and Panama

- Panama leaving the Belt and Road Initiative
