Latin America Program

📢The @StimsonCenter launched its new Latin America Program, aimed at advancing democratic governance, regional security, and sustainable development across Latin America and the Caribbean.

I congratulate the formation of the American-Mexican caucus, demonstrating the important role of leaders in Washington who understand the deep and vital connection between the United States and Mexico together with Canada. The 520 million people of North America will create a powerhouse of democracy and prosperity for the three countries and the entirety of the Americas. Congratulations to Amb. @NathalieRayes, Executive Director Sergio Gonzales, and caucus co-chairs Rep. @JoaquinCastrotx and @RepRudyYakym for their leadership on the American Mexican Leadership council, and honored to be joined by @SenRubenGallego to mark the occasion. It’s an idea whose time has come.

We are thrilled to be partnering with the American Mexican Leadership Council in launching the U.S.-Mexico Caucus to further strengthen ties between both nations. 🇺🇸 🤝 🇲🇽

Last night our program partnered with the American Mexican Leadership Council for the launch of the new U.S. 🇺🇸-Mexico 🇲🇽 Caucus—a platform for exchanging policy ideas and deepening cooperation between the United States and its number-one trading partner.

When FIFA announced the winning bid to host this year’s World Cup, “it symbolized North America’s remarkable success at economic integration,” @BGarciaNice and @benjamingedan write for @WPReview. “Today, the continent’s ‘three amigos’ are no longer on friendly terms.” 👇👇👇

This week along with our @StimsonCenter colleagues, we heard from former interim President of Venezuela @jguaido in Palm Beach his views on recent current events in our region.

@robertosimon @StimsonCenter @benjamingedan We are excited to work with you and showcase your expertise!

I am looking forward to joining this amazing new program at @StimsonCenter at such a critical juncture for the region. Thank you for the invitation, @benjamingedan! @LATAMProg
