O Governo Trump e a América Latina: O Impacto nas Relações Brasil-México

On May 17, Ambassador Andrés Rozental was responsible for giving the first lecture of the CEBRI Breaking News series at the institution's new headquarters, in Gávea, Rio de Janeiro. With a diplomatic career spanning 35 yars, the Ambassador was the speaker at the event "The Trump Government and Latin America: The Impact on Brazil-Mexico Relations", mediated by Ambassador José Botafogo Gonçalves, Vice-Chairman Emeritus of CEBRI.

Rozental outlined the scenario of deterioration in relations between Mexico and the United States since the inauguration of President Donald Trump. He presented the main internal and external mistakes of the current American administration, the myths created in relation to Mexico and anticipated that his country is willing to talk about what the Americans and Canadians want, in the expected renegotiation of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), except for what represents a substantial change to the agreement's fundamental free trade concept.
