The Next U.S. President Should Pay Attention to Latin America

By Susan Segal

The next administration should seize the economic opportunities that come with closer hemispheric ties, writes AS/COA’s president and CEO in Americas Quarterly.

This article is adapted from AQ's special report on the 2024 U.S. presidential election and its impact on Latin America.

In at least one way, it does not matter who wins the U.S. election: Latin America and the Caribbean require greater care and partnership with their northern neighbor. 

Latin America and the Caribbean can be the U.S.’s greatest partner and ally—but the U.S. can also be Latin America’s greatest partner and ally. We share the hemisphere, but of equal importance, we have a shared culture. This can be built upon to cement a deep and reliable friendship that transcends administrations in the U.S. and Latin America.
