Dear friends and colleagues:
At last week’s Munich Security Conference, I witnessed European and other world leaders grappling with how to address shifting geopolitics and a very different US approach to traditional allies and partners. As striking to me were the conversations that were not happening, namely with counterparts from throughout the Western Hemisphere.
In my latest Bloomberg column, “Latin America’s Munich No-Show Was a Big Mistake,” I argue that Latin America’s absence was at best a missed opportunity. At worst, it left the region even further back on the sidelines as other leaders rewrite global security norms and rules. As always, thanks for reading. Sincerely, |
Shannon K. O’Neil Senior Vice President of Studies Maurice R. Greenberg Chair Council on Foreign Relations
