On today's program we're looking into the bipartisan imperialist consensus in Washington when it comes to Venezuela.Following a recent US Congressional delegation to Brazil, Chile, and Colombia by Representatives Greg Casar, Nydia Velázquez, Joaquin Castro, Maxwell Frost, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, media outlets were once again filled with headlines about the need for the US to change its relationship with Latin America. Despite the potential for this trip to “replace” or “realign” the US-Latin America relationship, public comments by lawmakers following their trip, Democrats are still deeply wedded to the US imperialist project. To talk about the very real consequences of tepid and insufficient calls by so-called progressives to merely “review” US sanctions on Venezuela, Host José Luis Granados Ceja speaks with Hector Figarella, a Venezuela-born activist and organizer with the Anti-Imperialist Action Committee. Venezuela Analysis' Andreína Chávez also joins the program to talk about her recent piece titled ‘Clear As The Full Moon' about the harsh circumstances Venezuela has been forced to endure at the hands of imperialism.Music: Embandolaos - Los Caimanes NegrosAli Primera - Canción para los valientes

Dr. Patrick Iber is a UW-Madison historian who studies 20th Century Latin American history and US-Latin American relations at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Among other things, he's the author […] The post Summit of the Americas and a Look at US-Latin America Relations appeared first on WORT-FM 89.9.

In this episode our normal host Michael Walsh returns to talk to Manuel Quindmil, an Argentinian Trade Lawyer based in Lima, Peru. He is an expert in government relations with over 30 years of experience focused on WTO and free trade agreements. He shares his views on US/Latin America's traditional trade relationships but shares the challenges the region still faces with upskilling its workforce to meet the needs of multinational firms. There are perhaps more opportunities for SME's to succeed faster, but he emphasises the importance of investing in local relationships and finding the right partners. Annabella Matute – A lawyer with experience in civil law and common law systems, (The USA, Latin America and the UK) Legal and business advice in trade UK-Latin America, construction law in the commercial sector and the extractive industries joins us. Annabella shares her views on the importance of cultural understanding in order to successfully conduct business in Latin America. Lots of opportunities for technological savvy firms in multiple sectors, that can assist in improving services and the daily lives of the general public. Annabella stresses the global misconceptions don't help and passionately argues the importance of appointing the right expertise to assist firms seeking to shift their supply chain to a member state in Latin America. The ability to speak Spanish and communicate your brand in Spanish as well as taking the time and investment to train the locals you will be hiring, are key factors for successful and sustainable businesses in Latin America built on trust and a mutual understanding. All countries in Latin America require huge investment into its existing roads, smart logistics and public infrastructure, issuing green bonds is just one source which certain states are utilising, but attracting increased DFI from UK/Europe and the rest of Asia Pacific is an ongoing challenge for many, as we exit this covid pandemic but now face other global economic challenges with rising inflation, energy shortages, war in Europe and the cost of food.
