Last night, President Trump used part of his third State of the Union address to underscore what he believes to be his administration’s successes thus far on migration, the border, and Latin American policy. His speech—which included the appearance of Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó, an unexpected defense of the Trump administration’s problematic approach to Cuba, and the doubling-down on a hateful approach to migration policy—was an unfortunate reminder of the challenges facing the defense of human rights in the region.
In our latest podcast episode, Adam Isacson (Director for Defense Oversight), Maureen Meyer (Director for Mexico and Migrant Rights), Geoff Ramsey (Director for Venezuela), and Marguerite Rose Jiménez (Director for Cuba) discuss what last night’s speech means for human rights in Latin America—and preview what to watch in Latin American affairs as the U.S. elections ramp up.
