The U.S. midterm elections have reshaped the political landscape in Washington, with Democrats securing a congressional majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The outcome could carry significant implications for the Trump administration's policies in the Western Hemisphere which it is pursuing under the “Donroe Doctrine”.
In this episode, CSIS Americas Program experts Christopher Hernandez-Roy, Diego Marroquin Bitar, and Henry Ziemer unpack the potential implications of a Democratic congress for the Trump administration's engagement in the Western Hemisphere. Together they examine how the new political balance in Congress could affect trade policy, security cooperation, and strategic competition with China across the region.
