CEDLA & De Balie | Trump, an Angry Neighbor: A Tumultuous First Year of US-Latin America Relations
Tuesday, 27 January 2026 | 20:00-22:00 | De Balie, Amsterdam

One year into Donald Trump’s second presidency, the United States finds itself in the midst of a trade war, a cultural war – and, some would argue, an actual war. Trump’s shockwave politics have in particular sent ripples across Latin America and the Caribbean. Is the region standing on the crossroads?

Speakers

• Javier Corrales (Amherst College, USA)
• Barbara Hogenboom (CEDLA, University of Amsterdam)
• Julienne Weegels (CEDLA, University of Amsterdam)

Public event by De Balie and CEDLA, to assess the first year of Trump’s presidency through the lens of Latin America and the Caribbean - a region that has long felt the effect of US power, and now, once again, bears the consequences of its actions.
