An America First Approach To Latin America with Juan Pablo Villasmil

In this episode, I sat down with Latin America expert Juan Pablo Villasmil, an Intercollegiate Studies Institute editorial fellow with The Spectator, to discuss an America First approach to the United States' immediate neighborhood. We looked at how America can better fight adversarial encroachment in its backyard, bolster relations with countries in the region, and secure critical minerals. We also examined the impact the rise of leftist politicians in the region will have on America's regional ambitions and how America must move past an activist foreign policy in its dealings with its southern neighbors. Lastly, Villasmil and I discussed his upcoming seminar series, "An America First Approach To Our Hemisphere."
