In June, Americas Quarterly published Mauricio J. Claver-Carone, former senior official in the first Trump administration, on the implications of a second term for Trump for U.S. policy toward Latin America. A second Trump term would focus on reviving hemispheric economic growth through nearshoring and other policies, argues Claver-Carone.

REACTION: What Trump's Victory Means for Latin America

NEW: President Claudia Sheinbaum rose to power after a decisive electoral victory last June, winning a supermajority in both chambers of Mexico’s Congress. With enough legislative support to push through constitutional amendments, she is actively pursuing reforms proposed by her political mentor, former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The legacy—controversial in many aspects, such as in the case of the judicial reform— is also set to draw a risky path for the nation’s energy sector, write Alberto Quiroz Miranda and Carlos Ramírez Fuentes. Days ago, President Sheinbaum enacted the constitutional reform for “strategic areas and enterprises,” which reshapes the nation’s energy sector’s legal framework. In essence, this signifies a major U-turn, reversing the 2013 reform approved under PRI’s Enrique Peña Nieto, which opened the country’s energy sector to private investment. When signing the reform into law, the President expressed her view on the case, stating that the reform is a “very important” change because it “returns to the people companies that always belonged to the people of Mexico and that were privatized in 2013.” #mexico #energy #sheinbaum https://lnkd.in/eRf5ZzXb

Cuba has just undergone long, brutal days of total blackout. The renewed power outages represent more than just an energy crisis: They’re a sign of a grave systemic crisis. Cuba’s economy, not just the energy sector, is in the midst of its worst collapse, perhaps since independence in 1902, writes Javier Corrales. The reason Cuba is having problems with its allies is simple: Cuba cannot pay for imports or credits. Its government has no capacity to generate wealth domestically and externally. The country is experiencing an energy crisis because it is experiencing a resource crisis. Foreign fuel makes its way to Cuban ports, but the Cuban government struggles to generate the money to make payments. #cuba #blackout https://lnkd.in/dzXVxvpg

NEW: Since Nicolás Maduro decided to bypass the people’s will in the July 28 election, Venezuela has been through tragic times. The country’s authoritarian regime has now imprisoned close to 2,000 citizens for political dissent, seeking to obliterate the opposition with old and new methods, writes Rafael Uzcategui. #venezuela #humanrights #ddhh https://lnkd.in/dKpdhHDi
