2018 will see presidential elections in several countries across Latin America, notably in Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, and Venezuela. Our panelists will discuss Russia's strategic interests in Latin America, including how the region should prepare for potential Russian meddling in upcoming presidential elections. The presentations by our panelists will be followed by an audience Q&A.
