"Opposition to the Argentina bailout and the ideological kinship between the U.S. and Argentine leaders is making Argentina policy a partisan issue in Washington as has occurred in recent years with Brazil. That is never a good thing"

"It is rarely a sign of good governance when a leader feels threatened by one of his countrymen winning the @NobelPrize"

"The days of Beijing showering the region with loans and large-scale infrastructure projects may be over. Good moment for a bigger and less encumbered @DFCgov to gain ground in great power competition in the Americas"

"Rather than arm-twisting to drive a wedge between Buenos Aires and Beijing the U.S. could outmaneuver China through strategic investments. After all China still largely targets commodities (Bekerman et al. 2022) complicating Argentinas goal of export diversification"

"In Argentina this is seen broadly as a diplomatic triumph I explained on @abcnews Radio National Breakfast. Milei bet everything on aligning Argentina with the United States and it wasnt clear there would be a significant upside"

"Sour 🍇. This might be Maduros last chance to escape his place in history alongside Pinochet Stroessner and Rafael Trujillo. He should bring Mara Corina to Oslo to receive the Peace Prize scoop up Edmundo Gonzlez in Madrid and hand over the presidential sash in Caracas"

"It is not surprising to see leaders such as in Ecuador eager for support from the U.S. military to fight organized crime. It would be quite surprising to see leaders such as in Grenada provide logistical support to the U.S. military for a potential war against Venezuela. That said the regional vibes are different these days a combination of Monroe Doctrine II intimidation by Washington and frustration with the brutish behavior of the Venezuelan regime. Already the Dominican Republic has boasted of its role in controversial U.S. anti-drug operations in the Caribbean off the coast of Venezuela"

"I hosted Admiral Holsey in Miami in December shortly after his swearing in. U.S. strikes against civilian targets in the Caribbean and reported plans to target Venezuela are highly atypical for the Southern Command"

"One hope is that by awarding the prize to Machado the need for a peaceful non-violent solution to the tragedy in Caracas is reinforced"

"Truly remarkable given the *high* risk that the pesos the US is buying will lose value and the *low* risk of contagion for the U.S. should Argentina experience another financial crisis"

"On Sunday Bolivia will choose its next president following two decades under the Movimiento al Socialismo. We hosted both candidates in Washington and they promised transformative economic reform and foreign policy realignment. @StimsonCenter @SAISHopkins"

"The U.S. has long sought to normalize relations with Bolivia I told @ObserverUK. The duration of the estrangement is mostly attributable to Morales and his political movement"
