Leopoldo López, Co-Founder of the World Liberty Congress breaks down two decades of eroding US influence in Latin America: 20 years ago, every country in the region had the US as its main trade partner. Today, China holds that position instead.

López points to China's control over entry points to the Panama Canal, its infrastructure push with Huawei, and Venezuela's 2007 pivot from NATO-standard weapons to Russian hardware — AK-103 rifles, Sukhoi jets, S-300 anti-air systems — as evidence of a coordinated, decades-long effort by China and Russia to displace US influence across the Western Hemisphere.

New Memos to the President episode with Leopoldo López & Félix Maradiaga, out now.
